Eighteen words over, but the world will survive it. I had a lot of trouble with this one.
It was such a nice ceremony. The king thought Buttercup looked a little under the weather, but with his eyesight, it was possible he wasn’t even looking at Buttercup. He smiled all through the wedding, though he had trouble keeping up with the events. Weren’t they supposed to say “I do” at some point? Those young whippersnappers were always changing the rules on him.
Now it was done, and he found himself toddling along beside Buttercup, his mind off in some mysterious place where things went a bit slower and there was always plenty of jam. He liked jam. Buttercup said something to him, and he smiled and nodded like he always did.
“Won’t that be nice?” he commented before his mind returned to the jam.

Mmm, jam.
