Chapter 691

• Royal weddings were about bringing together two countries, more than the actual two people getting married, since it was mostly arranged marriages. Traditionally, the bride’s gown would be in her house colors and the groom in his. After the wedding ceremony, the bride will change her gown for an evening dress in her husband’s colors for the celebrations.
• It signified the unity of the two royal families, and that the wife was subservient to her husband by wearing his royal colors. To me, it was the perfect opportunity to emphasize Adelie’s place in my life. She needed to learn that only so much was acceptable, with regard to her behavior.
• After the wedding, the royal couple went for a carriage drive through the town where the residents would all line up to greet the King and new Queen. After that, the happy couple will return to the castle, where all the traditional stuff would be done, the royal wedding photo, the first dance, cutting of the cake, and the speeches, etc. A few hours later, closer to midnight, the bride would be crowned as Queen, then they were expected to leave for a two-week long honeymoon.
