IT HAD BEEN two years since the death of erik alden. none of the mikaelsons or winnie spoke of what truly happened. winifred story was that as she ran from him, she had climbed a tree and as he chased after her he fell from the tree and hit his head. and everyone believed her.
winnie felt no remorse for her fathers death. she didn't cry at his funeral or shed a tear when they burned his body and sent him down the river. she felt nothing for him.
elijah and winnie now prepared for their wedding. they had been engaged for two years and nobody knew that it was an impulsive decision to protect winnie from garth. henrik couldn't say garth and called him fart and everyone went with it. so now whenever garth goodman was brought up it was as fart.
elijah and winnie had truly fallen in love with each other over the course of the two years they had been "engaged". they hadn't shared anything more than a harmless cheek kiss or kiss to the hand. but both dreaded that their first kiss would be when they were to be married.
the couple had tried to hold the wedding off for as long as possible but the village began to grow suspicious so they had no other choice but to have it as soon as they could.
it was a cold january morning when winifred woke in her family's home for the final time before marriage. she wasn't scared now that she knew it was elijah who she would marry. though she didn't want to marry at all. she wished she could just be free and elijah respected that.
winnie has asked for amund to give her away since erik had passed. the brunette girl sat up and her bed surrounded by her sisters and mother who had huge grins on their faces. even hilda.
elijah had woken up in a similar way, rebekah and esther looming over him with excited grins as they held onto each other. elijah couldn't deny that he was excited to marry winnie even though "they didn't really love each other". it seemed that everyone except them knew of their feelings for each other.
winnie was pulled from her bed by hilda and her mother as they led her into charitys bedroom. they sat her down at the homemade vanity and began to prep her for the ceremony.
her mother fixed her hair into a half up half down look. her hair was braided slightly and pulled up to the middle of the back her head, held up by a barrette that erika crafted herself. hilda helped prep her skin. plucking at the hairs n her legs and under arms so her skin would be smooth.
