Pinterest inspired. My second attempt at doing first person POV. I know I'm bad at it, so it's good practise. Had a few struggles writing this one, but enjoy Merlinians.

To say the wedding wasn't going to plan was the understatement of the century. It had been complete chaos. Well for one person that was true anyway.

Gwen's POV:

Today was my wedding day! Years ago, I would've laughed if you told me I could be royalty. Everything was perfect. The golden dress that had been hand crafted to fit the theme, the decorations in the throne room and the cake had been perfect.

There was a strange detail to the cake though. Snails. Somehow it just perfected the whole cake though. I wasn't complaining at all. Merlin had agreed. The poor lad looked stressed. I'd have to tell Arthur to go a little easier on him. He'd looked constipated during the ceremony though. I'd have to ask if he was okay next time I saw him.

Arthur's POV:

Weddings are very much overrated. The only reason I'm putting so much work into this thing, is because of Gwen. She deserves it.

The servants had been slow, and I'm horrified that something I going to go wrong. Merlin was not helping. He decided to randomly clean my room. Somehow that involved making it a huge mess first.

Then I'd gotten the majority of things covered. Of course Merlin had to go ruin the ceremony when he started grunting and at some point even yelped! Who knows what he was doing. The stocks were waiting for him. He'd be in the stocks for a good month.

Merlin's POV:

The past few weeks had been completely exhausting. With the wedding preparations, Arthur's constant stressing, added onto the usual, I had no spare time. Then two weeks ago Arthur accidentally let out a goblin without noticing. Great!

First I had to locate the goblin. Then I'd have to catch it. This was much easier said then done.

There had been four attempts on Gwen's life just in the past week, and I'd dealt with all of them. Unfortunately this and the goblin situation meant I had less time to do my normal jobs. Arthur thought I was slacking off, and I wanted to strangle him. Him releasing that Goblin had not helped. At all.

The last Goblin had been rather tricky. It took a few days to catch. This one on the other hand put freedom before humour and gold. The many traps I'd set had not worked. Gaius had been no help either. After last time he wanted absolutely nothing to do with goblins.

So far the only evidence I had as to where the stupid thing was, was the few knights complaining about a thief in the castle. At least I knew it was still in the castle. Hopefully it would remain dormant until after the wedding which was in two hours.

Going about doing my chores, I passed by the kitchen. Earlier Arthur had said he could do with a snack. For once, I would treat him. Entering the kitchen, I looked for a sweet. Most were usually hidden. Gwaine was rather quick and would pluck them up before anyone could notice, but if they were hidden, the castle profited greatly.

Nobody had bothered to make any extra sweets. Most were in the ballroom where they would be celebrating. The cake was still here though. For some reason it was left unguarded in the middle of the kitchens. There must be some emergency. They would never leave it alone. All the staff knew what Gwaine and Elyan were like. Unless they were chasing them right now. That made sense.

The cake has three large layers and is the height of a barrel. On top there is two miniature figures meant to be Gwen and Arthur. It is all in Camelot colours. There is lots of red and gold. All in all, it should be the only thing Arthur isn't going to stress over because it's actually ready and looks good.

That's when I saw it. The little gold loving vermin had spotted the cake too. It licked its lips and threw a ball of light at it. Of course the little nuisance wanted it. It had gold on it. The cake began to float towards the numbskull. Nope. No way. Not happening.

Luckily I'd found a way to shrink the goblin's box. So I had it on me right now. Quickly unshrinking it, I slipped around him as silently as I could. Unluckily, he heard me. He decided it would be far better to put snails on the cake, and leave. Wonderful.

Now I had to deal with snails, that pesky goblin, and Arthur's fussing over the wedding.

How would I fix this? There was that spell that made things go from real to edible. That seemed like the best option at the moment. Oh, what were the words again?

There were footsteps, indicating someone was coming. Shoot. What was that spell? Right! I mumbled the words, made the box small again and the person turned the corner only seconds after.

It was Gwen. She looked simply radiant.

"Oh, hello Merlin. I was just checking how the cooks did on the cake. Interesting detail, the snail's are. I must admit, I like it though. What do you think?"

"It's a wonderful touch," I replied with a worried smile. "I should be going. Good luck today Gwen!"

"Thank you Merlin."

After getting away from Gwen, I raced in the direction the tiny devil had gone. I couldn't find it though. The best bet was to continue my chores again.

Getting Arthur's suit for the wedding was deemed an important job that I had been told would be done by someone else, but that had been changed when that person had gotten sick. So now I was on my way there.

The suit had gold on it. So I was expecting the ugly thing to try to steal it. It wasn't there though. So I decided to bring the suit back to Arthur's room. Where it was supposed to go.

"Arthur? Arthur, are you there?"

There was no verbal response, but I nearly jumps out of my skin when I heard a bang.

The cretin was here I could tell by the magic feel in the air. Mostly by the large mess though.

"I'm not going back in that tiny prison!" The twerp shouted before jumping out of the window.

So now I was left with a huge mess to clean up. Better get to it. If Arthur came back to his room in the state if was in at the moment, he'd have a fit. He'd already had far too many trying to get the wedding prepared.

Of course, Arthur came in before I expected it. It was much better, but it still needed work.

"What are you doing Merlin?"

"Spring cleaning?"

Arthur shouted at me, "BUT ITS MY WEDDING DAY? WHY WOULD YOU BE SPRING CLEANING?"

"You want it to look good for Gwen don't you?" Was my only response.

Arthur sighed. "Yes. Fine. Whatever. Just have it clean, and my boots polished by the wedding." With that, Arthur stomped out of the room.

Once the room was clean, I went about my chores hoping to find the rascal. Unfortunately, the annoyance knew how to stay hidden.

The next time I spotted the wretched goblin was the wedding. He was on the chandelier (or whatever they called the big light thing that they can raise and lower). How was I supposed to get him from there? Luckily everyone was too immersed in the cheesy vows to notice.

That's when he saw Gwen's dress. It was also gold. Wonderful. I muttered two spells. One to make the goblin invisible, and another when the dipstick began to jump, to pull him into the box. Nobody noticed.

Now was another hard part. Close the box.

I was trying to push silently, but a few people had looked my way, so I wasn't as silent as I had hoped. When the stupid thing bit my finger, I couldn't contain my yelp. Then suddenly I had it shut. The whole ordeal was over. Time to watch the wedding.

"You may kiss the bride."

Great. I'd missed most of it.
