The swaying of the ship seemed almost hypnotic as the lights slowly went out on deck, leaving just the small fairy lights twinkling, a simulacrum of the night sky. Passengers stumbled back to their rooms on the ship, the after-effects of the night's partying clear to see - some staggered off in groups of 5 or more, still clenching their glasses and laughing raucously as they disappeared down the stairs; others dangled uselessly like rag dolls between their more sober friends, barely conscious enough to put one foot in front of the other; and still more were left to doze on the deck, the metal dishes that had earlier held chips now cradled the heads of sleepy drunks. A 'Just Married' sign looked down on the scene, the couple in question having snuck off a few hours into their wedding party, to 'continue the festivities' below deck.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhxaFYDawd

The bell, hung in the top corner of the doorframe, rang for the first time in a long while. All the heads in the cramped office turned to see who it might be. A young couple, still caught in the awed stage of "I can't believe we're getting married", strolled through the glass doors of the tour agency, fingers tightly linked. The girl smiled sweetly at the nearest tour agent and dragged her fiancée (her fiancée! The thought still made her giggle) over to the counter.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJLAA8uNF

The cruise ship was marketed as the best out there for people searching for an unforgettable experience, with voyages to exotic locations and low prices. Still reeling from the various student debts they'd accumulated through college, the young couple jumped on the opportunity of a cheap, but memorable wedding. Better yet, the girl excitedly whispered into her fiancé's ear, a wedding on a ship - how much more romantic can it get?759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJeTTUpwv

The young man smiled as he watched his wife-to-be float down the aisle on the arm of her proud father. She brought up her bouquet to hide her wide smile before she remembered that there was a veil, then had to fight the urge to turn and press her blushing face into her father's arm. The pair had reached the altar by this point, and she took her husband-to-be's outstretched arm, brimming with happiness at the thought of finally being married to this man.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpNywLmSXo

The ceremony passed in a blur - the pair would be hard-pressed to say what they recalled of the priest or his message - but it all sharpened - like the smell of the sea-salt in the air - as the priest blessed their marriage, and "you may now kiss the bride" echoed in their ears. The two happily obeyed, lips meeting in a soft press as their joy overflowed. The crowd cheered along with them, celebrating with them. Finally breaking apart, the married couple smiled bashfully at their guests. She wondered if she would remember this moment forever.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vVr8HZ8de

They'd been on this ship for... A day? A couple days? He looked down at his wife, still dressed in her flowing white gown, the gown that now matched her flowing white hair, still held up in twists and pins - like on their wedding day. She smiled up at him, and, with a smile on her face, closed her eyes.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybhyfwaaF

The old man returns to his cabin, alone. He sits silently at his desk, makes a mark on the notepad in front of him, like he's done every night. Today's different though: today, he sits there and writes.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnUEkpKG99

An old man sits on the deck and as the wind blows, his hair flutters for a moment, then is swept up in the air currents like puffs of dandelion fluff. His once pristine wedding suit now hangs off his haggard frame, the red rose he'd tucked into his lapel - just that morning, he was sure - having crumbled to pieces - much like his wife. His hands fumble as he tries to stuff a note into a bottle, fingers slipping with the cork multiple times before he finally manages to stopper it properly. He clenches the bottle tightly in his hands, and closes his eyes.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYnEZYYHHR

A bottle washes up on the shores of Pelican Island. Children dig it up out of the sand with their little shovels, grabbing it with their little grubby hands. The parents aren't as amused by it at first - it's like the feeling you get when your cat brings you a dead rodent on your birthday with a self-satisfied smirk on it's stupid cat face - but then they pull out the letter wedged in the bottle.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD4DV0NXvl
