The suspense and tenseness of the room was clear as Laenerys walked in making even more whispering voices rage on. However they soon quietened as they saw the young Princess in her wedding gown being accompanied by Daemon.
Many of the lady's faces twisted into those of jealously that their wedding was not as great as this one and many of the young girls faces looked happy as they watched Laenerys walk down the isle towards Cregan who was stood with his back towards her so she could
not see him nor him see her.
But after a few moments he did turn around. He was dressed in a traditional stark wed clothing and a fur coat adored his shoulders.
His eyes turned soft as he saw the Princess and anyone who was looking could see that his face held instant relief when he saw her smiling instead of the state he had found her in a few days prior to the wedding.
Laenerys hadn't caught sight of Cregans looks yet as she smiled at the crowds and glanced to Daemon who gave her a few looks of reassurance before they both continued to the centre of the elegant hall.
Laenerys eye suddenly caught that of Cregans and the two held contact for quite a while until she had arrived in front of him and Daemon let go of her arm taking his position beside Rhaenyra.
Laenerys smile seemed to falter a bit as the officiator then came and stood before the two of them. The action did not go unnoticed by the Stark.
"Are you alright?" He whispered just so no one but her could hear.
To which Laenerys have a small nod in response still not sure of her own feelings about the marriage.
"Cregan Stark of Winterfell and House stark." The officiator began to speak to the people as the crowds quietened down. "And Princess Laenerys Targaryen the first of her name, Second born child of King Viserys of House Targaryen."
Laenerys and Cregan were then bought closer together and told to hold hands together as the officiator picked up a piece of red string ready to tie the two hands together in harmony.
Once more Laenerys was blessed with feeling what the cold hands of Cregan Stark felt like. His gentle grip held onto her hands tight but fit perfectly and comfortably in her own hands.
"And with this string I shall tie house Stark and house Targaryen together." He held the string up to show the crowds of people before he noughts it down and began to wrap it around their hands as he spoke every line to put them together.
"I bind Cregan Stark and Laenerys Targaryen here by making Laenerys, Laenerys of house Stark."
Once more her smile faltered. Making Cregan quickly squeeze her hand to try to calm her down. Her eyes then slowly drifted up to his as Laenerys own violet orbs met his dark brown ones and in that moment the world around them seemed to stop.
"You may now kiss your wife."
The ceremony was over as he spoke those six words which meant so much and yet were so said so care-freely.
Laenerys Targaryen was now Laenerys Targaryen-Stark. Her house was more powerful so therefor went first.
But it was if she could not believe it. After a year she was married. Married to Cregan Stark who was still holding her hands and staring at her face almost as if he was waiting for her.
The crowds hasn't started to clap or cheer yet as the kiss to seal of the marriage had not been done.
Cregans head then moved down closer to Laenerys face but quickly moved to her ear to whisper something.
"Can I kiss you?"
And without a second thought Laenerys realised his hands and moved them to grab onto the back of his head as she crashed her lips on his.
The crowds quickly burst into loud fits of cheers, shouts and claps. Many already shouting things about getting drunk.
It had taken Cregan a moment to realise what Laenerys was even doing out of shock of the girls actions but he soon deepened the kiss by places one of his hands on her waist and the other on the side of her cheek as Laenerys arms lay around his shoulders, her hands entangled in his hair.
Shortly after the two shared the long held kiss they broke apart and removed their hands from one another to face the crowds. However Cregan kept his one hand on her waist just above her hip and he watched his wife from beside her as she smiled and waved to the people.
"You are so very beautiful, my wife." He said before also turning to face the crowd.
Laenerys smiled as she saw his small
Smirk from his sentence but she didn't reply and just continued to wave.
