That night was weeks ago. Today was the day of the wedding. The maids were helping me put on my dress but something about it just wasn't right. It was a lovely dress, however it was fully asgardian. There was nothing to remind me of my home and that just wouldn't do.

"You seem troubled, your majesty, what is the matter?"

One of the maids asked, sensing my discomfort. I forced a polite smile and pretended as if nothing were bothering me.

"Nothing! It is all lovely!"

I replied a little too forced. She noticed.

"This dress is too asgardian for your taste isn't it?"

"I-"

"I assumed we could possibly have this problem. Therefore I consulted some of your own palace maids to bring you this."

She pulled out a large gold box and opened it. In it was a traditional Egyptian wedding dress. The entire dress was completely white however it was strapless. There was a gold plate to go over my chest with detailing entirely in white to match the dress. A golden sash went loosely around the waist as decor. A stunning headdress was included as well consisting of a golden head band decorated with rubies, pearls, and emeralds. In the center of the headdress sprouted the horns of an ox with a golden yellow sun in the middle.

"This is... this is beautiful how on earth were you able to get this on time?"

"That's not important, your highness. What's important is that you get dressed and ready on time."

I nodded as she helped me out of my robe and into the dress. After getting dressed my hair was combed, trimmed and then styled by straitening it completely. Next a red vibrant colour was placed on my lips and the traditional udjat around my eyes. Next some final jewelry and shoes were placed upon me. Then finally a fragrant perfume of Lillys was placed around my neck and through my hair so that the delicious sent of the innocent flowers would last. I looked in the mirror in the room. Staring back at me was the image of a pharaoh, not just a pharaoh but a soon to be married woman. I drew in a deep breath.

"If only my father could be here."

"He would be so proud of you."

The maid replied with a smile as she joined me at looking in the mirror.

"Now c'mon. Loki's waiting."

Loki was wearing what I assumed to be his traditional asgardian attire. He wore a black tunic with luscious green and gold details. He wore a long green velvet cape and finally and golden headpiece that sprouted two antlers that glistened in the sunlight like golden coins. Odin cleared his throat.

"Loki, my son, your vows?"

"Ah. Yes."

Loki took my hand.

"With this hand, my queen, I shall hold yours. I shall tend to your every need and never leave you to be consumed by your own thinking. I shall caress you and hold you when you fear and tend to you when you need me. With this mind I will only think of you. I will think of ways to better you and your country. I will only think of what is best for you. And With this heart I will love you until the day it stops beating. I will love you until the end of all time and until I cease to be a memory. Rashida, my queen, I will love you forever and always. A fire will always burn in my heart for you. With this ring I seal my love for you."

He slid a golden ring on my finger. I gave it a brief glance and noticed it was embedded with rubies, however the most noticeable was a sun that was molded into the center of the ring and shined the most. It was beautiful.

"With this hand I will lift your sorrows. I will hold yours in times of grief. I shall command the sun to be still for you. Your cup shall never empty, for I, my king, shall be your wine. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will constantly be by your side. With my heart as my light, I will vanquish the darkness within your mind. And with this ring, my love, I ask you to be mine."

I slid a solid gold band onto his finger. I saw a faint green glow in his eyes as he smiled. A smile that said "finally" a smile that said "at last" and a smile that said "I love you".

"Well if there shall be no further objections, I pronounce you now as King Loki Oddinson, and Pharaoh Rashida Ra, husband and wife."
