Chapter 16: A Royal Wedding
January 1, 1315
Perrigwen watched in awe as the bride walked down the isle. Lady Alverstine looked absolutely gorgeous in her bridal gown. Gorgeous was a word that she loved to think about. She had only learned it a few days ago and felt a little thrill to see that she could use it so correctly even in her thoughts.
One day, she would be able to get dressed up all fancy and walk down an isle in a big pretty cathedral and get married, too. And she would be gorgeous! And her husband would be gorgeous! She didn't now how she could ever bear to wait so long....She was so excited!
And she would be excited when she finally met the man that she was going to marry. She knew that she was betrothed to someone, but she had never met him. Her mother kept telling her that they would be able to meet soon so that Perri could dream about her future husband. She did already dream about him, even though it was hard, since she didn’t know what he looked like. But if he looked anything like his mother, Rossi, then she would be ever so thrilled! Rossi was one of the most gorgeous women she had ever seen. Surely someone so gorgeous would have a gorgeous son as well.
And she would be able to find out today what he was like, if only she could see over all of the heads in the pews behind her! She tried to peer around her should to look at the guests, but she could not see her betrothed, who she knew for a fact to be sitting on one side of Rossi, who was in the very vack. He was apparently too short to be glimpsed over everyone else.
She sighed, but didn’t know if seeing him or watching the royal wedding was more exciting. After weighing it in her mind, she decided the wedding was, since she’d be able to finally meet her betrothed after the wedding mass, but after the wedding mass, she would not be able to watch the wedding.
As she turned her attention back to the ceremony, she sighed again, happily this time. They were in the middle of saying their vows. Perri thought that it was just the most romantic thing. The part about being together in love until death really sent a pleasant shiver down her spine. One day someone would love her like that!
Soon they finished the vows and were to perform the most important part of the wedding. The kiss! Perrigwen wanted to giggle, the gorgeous romance of it almost overwhelming her.
Finally their lips met and she wanted to cry with joy. They looked so very much in love, she thought. It was good sign to her, because they had been betrothed without knowing each other first just like she was now! Of course, King Kaiser was handsome. She didn’t know what to expect of her own husband. Perhaps he would be just as dashing and charming as the king! She smiled happily to herself. Now that was something to daydream about!
