Unfortunately, Alessandra's question was left unanswered as some of her ladies in waiting came around the corner ushering her off for some princess lessons.
Her question would continue to go unanswered the remainder of the week as she and Sampson were both so busy that the only time they saw each other was at family dinner.
It is now Friday, the day of Catherine's wedding.
Alessandra sits with Eliza to her left and Sampson to her right as they wait for Catherine to make her way down the aisle.
This is the first time the couple would get to truly hang out with each other in a few days.
"You look wonderful." Sampson whispers.
Alessandra smiles at this.
"You look nice too." she replies.
The doors to the throne room open signaling that Catherine is now ready to walk the aisle.
Everyone stands up waiting for her.
As she makes her way down Alessandra gasps, grabbing a hold of Sampson's hand.
"She looks beautiful!" she says excitedly for her new friend.
"I can only imagine how radiant you will look on our day." he tells the blonde.
Catherine eventually makes her way to Charles and the priest.
After some scripture reading and the exchanging of vows the two are presented husband and wife.
The entire room begins to clap watching the happy couple leave.
"That was a great ceremony." Alessandra states.
"Yes, I hope the reception is even better. I could go for a nice piece of deer." Sampson smirks causing Alessandra to playfully roll her eyes at him.
"Come on you." she instructs as he trails after her.
"Alessandra." Grayson greets the pair.
Sampson lets out a loud sigh upon seeing him while Alessandra gives him a warning look.
"I am to escort you and Prince Sampson to the reception," he explains.
"Of course." Alessandra smiles.
"Why must he be here? I'm here, isn't that enough." Sampson whispers into the blonde's ear.
"Sampson please! You sound like a child right now." she scolds him.
"So did watching that ceremony give you two any cold feet?" Grayson starts up wanting to make conversation.
"No, quite the opposite." Sampson smirks.
"How nice." Grayson smirks in return.
"Grayson, several of my ladies have actually taken attraction to you. I'd love to set you up with one of them if you'd like." Alessandra tells him sincerely while Sampson chuckles to himself.
"Oh, um, that won't be necessary at this time." Grayson replies.
The trio have arrived at the reception so Sampson and Alessandra went their own way while Grayson stands in a corner watching the entire event.
The food is delicious and Sampson gets his wish of having a nice deer to eat.
When it is time to dance, the couple shares a dance.
"You know I've never actually danced with someone before." Alessandra tells him.
"Really?" he asks.
