"Are they here yet? Can you at least check if their plane has arrived?"
Princess Victoria of Henriette, standing a door away from her marriage. She was anxious, not of the wedding, but of whether her friend could make it here on time.
"Sorry, no record of any Lukasiaks registered at immigration." her assistant scanning from her tablet.
"Your Highness, we can't wait." the banquet manager advised.
"Your Highness." Meneer Boogman, the old butler that has been looking after Victoria all her life, nodding into her eyes and said. "It is time."
As the organ began playing, the heavy wooden door swung open. Victoria Henriette, Princess of Neutral Moresnet, walked side by side with her soon-to-be husband Boris Helsing, the man whom she be marry to, slowly approaching the sanctuary.
The Bishop began his speech, congratulating the young couple, gave his blessings, and finalized with his closing words.
"Should anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in Holy Matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Victoria bit her lips, she looked at Boris standing before her, who was displaying the same expression.
"HALT!!" a voice called out from far end. JoJo in her military school uniform, stood proud and announced. "The Knight of WINCHESTER THURSTON rejects this wedding!"
"Knight of what??" suddenly the floor muttered with questions.
"You!" the King of Moresnet glared at the little blond girl.
At the entrance, Morris dressed in his formal Marine uniform, chest full of decorative medals, walked up the aisle towards the sanctuary. On his right was JoJo Siwanova, to his left was Chloe Lukasiak.
"Chloe..." Vicky whispered, almost in tears seeing her.
"What is this??" the Bishop asked.
The three intruders reached the sanctuary, JoJo stepped up to the princess and asked.
"By the Royal Law of Neutral Moresnet, any rank of the Royal Members has the power to reject a wedding. Isn't it true?"
"Yes, but..." the young princess bewildered.
"And any ordinary can be knighted by a Royal blood?"
The young princess turned to the Bishop, who nodded reluctantly.
Morris pulled out a sword from his belt, an 18th century English long sword, dropped to one knee and offered it to the princess with both hands, blade facing in. Victoria looked up at JoJo, and then Chloe, both nodding eagerly.
The young princess picked up the sword, took a moment to recall those words she thought she would never use, touched the blade on the man's shoulders and spoke.
"In the honor of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I make you a knight! Rise, Knight of..."
"Winchester Thurston." Chloe whispered.
"Knight of Winchester Thurston!" Vicky completed the ritual, controlling herself not to laugh.
Morris stood up, turned to the crowd and addressing loud.
"By the power of my granted knighthood, I declare this wedding to be stop!"
Grumbling flooded the air, until someone called out.
"I against this wedding too!" stood up was the Queen of Moresnet.
"Mother!" Victoria gasped.
"I know you are unhappy with this marriage. I should have stopped it long ago."
"Mother!" the young princess ran into her mother's embrace, tearing with joy.
On the other side, Boris was already on the phone, bringing the good news to his true love. The father was upset, but the mother was relief seeing his son happy again.
Reporters and cameras all busy capturing the unexpected moments, zooming into the young couple's faces, reporting old stories and new events, no one paid attention to the newly titled knight standing at the sanctuary.
"I do get pay being a Knight, right?" he asked JoJo by his side.
"Oh Morris! Can't you just let the girls have a little fun?" the young Russian girl giggled.
