I saw this meme, can't find the exact same one anymore, but it went like this.

Officiator - "Do you take her to be your wife?"

Lexa- "I do"

Clarke - "I do... for my people."

Lexa - "Oh my god I want a divorce"

It was a glorious day in Polis, one that people would remember for years to come. The day had started with festivities, the people celebrating for the happiness of their esteemed Commander. They had learned to love her and respect her for the peace she brought eventually, although there were still groups that opposed her from time to time. It was simply the way of politics.

The Heda herself and her soon to be wife stood at the altar. Their hands were clasped together between them, each in elaborate beautiful dresses of the finest fabric that could be had in all of the Coalition. The entire audience watching throughout the crowded square held their breaths, eyes glued to this beautiful ritual.

The officiator's voice rings out and echoes against the cobblestone floors. "Do you, Lexa kom Trikru take Clarke kom Skaikru to be your bonded, your partner in war, in peace, in life, death, and beyond?"

"I do. I vow to treat her needs as mine and her people as my own." Lexa's face is full of hope, her green eyes that were as beautiful as the biggest, sunniest, field of grass brimming with tears of joy. It was the world that Clarke wanted so much.

"Do you, Klark kom Skaikru, take Lexa kom Trikru to be your bonded, your partner in war, in peace, in life, death, and beyond?" All the eyes turn to Clarke. No pressure or anything.

Clarke tears her eyes away from Lexa's now, her throat bobbing as she takes in everyone watching. She looks apprehensive, scared even. Clarke who can bring down whole mountains, the Wanheda, scared? Crazy. But then resolve hardens her face as she turns back to face Lexa. "I do... for my people."

Lexa's hopeful face falls like a boulder would sink in water. Have you ever seen a puppy kicked to the roadside? Imagine that face on Lexa's head. Quickly it morphs into anger. She yanks her hands away from Clarke's grip and turns around, "For fuck's sake, I want a divorce." Then she storms off, dress fluttering dramatically behind her.

Her attendants and advisors including Titus scramble to their feet to scurry after her like obedient dogs following their master.

The entirety of Polis watches with gaping jaws as the couple has another one of their legendary rows. Don't get it wrong, they loved each other, but the arguments and clashing have become infamous. There have been days where ambassadors have spent from dusk till dawn watching them scream back and forth.

Lexa is stewing angrily in her throne room, having changed back to her attire as Heda, even though her warpaint is off. That is when Bashaar, the Sankru chief, slithers in. His grin could be charming to somebody who was into males, which was decidedly not Lexa. He was literally the worst case scenario if the sultan from Aladdin and Jafar had a kid. He had the chiseled cheekbones and the style, the long robe with the exaggeratedly pointy shoulders, pointed beard and eyebrows, but his body was round and squat.

Bothering to look up at Bashaar was too hard for Lexa, who had her forehead rested in her hand as she leaned against the arm of the throne. "What is it, Bashaar?" she says in a low, quiet, threatening voice.

The leering grin can be heard in his tone, "I am just here to make sure you are okay, Heda. How dare that skaikru girl humiliate you in front of the entirety of the Kongeda?"
