The Arranged Marriage. Prince Xander x Oc

Act 11 Scene 2

It has been a hectic few weeks but the day was finally here, in just a few hours I would be Xander's wife and the queen of Nohr. To say I was excited was an understatement, but I was also almost as equally nervous. I barely had time to say good morning to Xander because my team of bridesmaids plus my maid of honour practically hauled me out of bed to start getting me ready.

My family had arrived in Nohr two days ago and we've all been busy since their arrival.

After I got out of a bath the girls prepared for me we had a quick breakfast before they all started fusing over my hair and my makeup and pretty much everything else about me. While the girls were busy with everything, my mothers sat to the side sipping her drink wearing a smile.

I had just gotten my dress on and laced up when there was a knock at the door and Victor popped his head in.

"It's almost time, is everyone ready yet?" He said.

"Just about, the rest of us have to get changed so you go wait outside," Ashley said shooing him out.

After the girls had finished changing I had my shoes on and my veil pinned in my hair my mother excused the other girls so she could speak to me alone.

"I'm so proud of you Victoria, and I'm so happy that this day has come for you, and you know your father would say the same thing if he was here," I nodded. "Things haven't been easy ever since you came to Nohr but you've managed to overcome the difficulties, you are so strong Victoria and I love you so much and you look so beautiful," she stopped herself as she was tearing up.

"I love you too mother," I replied hugging her.

"Hate to break up the moment but its just about time, you should go to your seat mother," Victor said sticking his head in again. Mother whipped her tears and left. Leaving me and Victor. "Everyone else is waiting by the doors, you ready to go?" I sucked in a deep breath and grabbed my bouquet.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I said taking his outstretched arm and leading me towards the venue. Nefertari and the girls were there waiting when we arrived. Alexandros who was managing the doors signalled for the music to start and just as rehearsed we started walking in. Just before Victor and myself had to start walking he quickly placed my veil over my face and then it was our turn.

Everyone stood up and turned around to watch us as we walked, but my focus was the altar, more specifically, Xander who was looking very handsome. Our eyes locked at I could feel how powerful our love was and how important this day will mean to both of us. When we got to the altar Victor lifted my veil before handing me to Xander and stepping over to his place.

The ceremony went by in a blur, all I was focused on was Xander and finally we were to the rings. Xander and I had decided to design rings for each other and keep them a secret so when Xander placed the ring on my finger I saw how gorgeous it was, wyvern wings were etched into the ring and in the middle was a purple diamond. And then I placed Xander's ring on his finger, it was a simple band, but it was forged from one of my favourite tiaras that I had melted down so that way a piece of me is always with him.

"Prince Xander do you take Princess Victoria to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Gunter said.

"I do," Xander said not once breaking our eye contact.

"Princess Victoria do you take Prince Xander to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," I said smiling at Xander.

"By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," and with that Xander leaned down pulling me closer by my waist and kissed me. The crowd cheered and clapped for us. Xander and I then walked back down the aisle exiting the hall.
