Elise watched the pride on Ian's eyes as he introduced to the people her as his wife. She couldn't tell how happy she was and had stopped had thinking about it as the word barely express the fullness she felt on her chest. Now she was his wife and he was her husband.
The guests clapped as they walked down the aisle. While some showed sincere smile, she also saw some who was smileless when they applauded. The position she had now was something most women in the church once wanted but now that she had taken it, they couldn't help but look at her with gaze full of envy.
Once the wedding ceremony had ended, they went back to the castle where the ball was held. Elise had changed into a new dress that were less puffier for the occasion that wouldn't drag on the floor. Placing the ring on her bare fingers, she felt the coldness it preserve, the endearing coldness that tells her this ring belongs to her now.
