Prolugue I’m Charlette‚ but most people call me Charle. This is my story. The story about a girl‚ just a girl. No magically fairies or wizards‚ no queens or kings and nothing different from the world you live in now‚ yet some people might find this fassinating for reasons unknown.

Nevertheless‚ as we kept talking I could only listen in fascination‚ our lives seemed so similar to each others. Our conversations were long‚ and laughter filled. We talked about our family and personal lives. We both became pretty close over the short amount of time that we had been talking.

I did ask for a microphone for today but was told that one wasn’t obtainable. So if you can’t hear me in the back‚ just know that the silence from the people in the front should re-assure you that you’re not missing out on anything. What an exciting and happy day it is today. Earlier this afternoon we were trying to get all the beautiful bridesmaids and handsome groomsmen‚ and the lovely bride and dapper groom‚ ready for this day of festivity.
