6. The Wedding

I stood on a pedestal being fitted into my dress while they tightened my corset to the point where I thought I would die.

"How is the dress your grace?" The handmaiden asked, "I am afraid I will die in it." I laughed out, "Well that is just the beginning in truth, we will prepare the dress madam." She told me, I waved her off with my hand, "Oh gods." I muttered under my breath."

(The Dress)

I saw in front of me the dress I would wear tonight, "And I am also to wear a tiara?" I asked, "Yes your grace let us bring it out for you." She signaled some ladies to get it, "What is your name madam?" I asked her, "Leyla Strong." I turned around to her, "Will you stay on my household Leyla?" I asked her.

"Yes your grace I am honored." She smiled, a woman came in with a red velvet pillow that held a tiara.

I touched it and nodded, "Can you do my hair half up half down?" "Yes your grace." I got off of the pedestal, "Will you put on your dress first?" "Yes I shall." They helped me put on the dress and lead me off of the pedestal and onto a stool for my hair.

I touched my face and hair and it looked so amazing, my silver hair looked so beautiful, "Are you ready for the isle your grace?" Leyla asked, "Yes fetch my mother." I told her.

-The Ceremony-

"We stand here in the sight of gods and men to witness the union of man and wife. One flesh, one heart, one soul, now and forever. Let it be known that Aemond of House Targaryen and Alyssa of House Velaryon are one heart, one flesh, one soul. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder."" The Septon called out to everyone.

"Do you both come before the sight of the seven of free will?" He asked me and Aemond.

"I do." Aemond said, Aemond wouldn't look at me so the septon did, "And do you Princess?"
"Yes I do." I said finally.

"In the sight of the Seven, I hereby see you these two souls, binding them as one for eternity. Look upon one another and say the words." The septon said while wrapping the binding cloth around our hands.

Aemond looked down at me as I starred into his eye, for a minute I thought he may love me, but I didn't know at all.

"Father. Smith. Warrior." Aemond and me said as we began to say the vows.
"Mother. Maiden. Crone. Stranger."
"I am hers."
"And he is mine."
"From this day, till the end of my days."

"I now pronounce you man and wife." The Septon said to Aemond and I.

I looked around to the crowd before Aemond grabbed my chin gently and kissed me like her did only a few days ago, he stopped the kiss but stayed close to my face, "Look happy for the sake of both of us, Aly." I starred up at him and nodded understanding his words.
