There was something almost amusing about rain on a wedding day, that being exactly what Elizabeth Black mused over as she peeked outside of the cathedral. Her fingers trailed briefly over the smooth white fabric of the wedding dress. Extravagance was a guilty pleasure of the once spoilt brat. Perhaps the confidence had always been there, or maybe she felt more up to the performance in the gown. No matter the reason, Elizabeth wanted to walk with purpose. The lateness of her father was nothing unusual. She had grown used to that.
Briefly shot her aunt and uncle a warm smile and a nod. Elizabeth owed that to them in the very least, for without their blessing, this day might have never come. She briefly dismissed the fearful thought of potential spinsterhood. It would not become a reality. What excited Elizabeth the most, was putting one step forwards into the life she had dreamed of.
The rays of light casted multi colored beams from the stained glass across the wooden floors of the cathedral. Religious hymns played gently on the harp and fluttered about the room. The guests in attendance included House Black and House Von Rahm, as well as friends and mutual acquaintances of the couple.
Elizabeth's arm linked around her father's as the music picked up in tempo. Each footfall thudded with purpose. Her hand slipped from her father's arm as she stood at the Lord's side. The priest before him made a pang hit Eliza's heart- it was not her dear friend Reverend Harhold, who was currently missing. The vows carried forward, each dip of holy water marking a Unionist eye on their foreheads. Her heart lifted and held a sense of conviction. The warmth spread to carry the hopes of the days ahead. As the twelfth Unionist eye symbol was drawn on their foreheads, a flurry of trepidation hit Elizabeth as her heartbeat hammered with abrupt anxiety. The emotional rise was stifled quickly with a reassurance of her worth- a binding kiss to seal the union was meaningful and short-lived, the couple choosing to show a sense of modesty and propriety.
Her hand entangled in Lord Von Rahm's grasp, glancing out over her new family members with a small smile. The attending guests were invited onwards to celebrate the union with a feast, followed by an evening of socializing and dancing.
Out of Character:
Elizabeth Black is now Elizabeth Von Rahm.
Anyone that is family or a friend / acquaintance of the family can say that they attended!
