Freya's POV
Frigga and Sif escorted me to the great hall where my hand fasting would take place. Upon approaching the grand doors two guards opened them and we made our grand entrance with me in the front and Frigga and Sif behind me.

I hesitantly walked into the room full of unknown Asgardians and towards Loki who stood next to Odin at the end of the hall. Thor stood next to Loki and the warriors three were close by him. I observed Loki's attire before I stood next to him.

Loki stared at me in shock and awe which I couldn't really see why

Loki stared at me in shock and awe which I couldn't really see why. 'Was the dress too revealing like I feared?' Odin began the ceremony.

Odin started by saying "Today, this couple comes before us to enter into the sacred covenant of marriage, vowing to be partners through the trials and triumphs of their shared life. They are declaring to each other and to all of us present that they will be by each other's side, no matter what life brings their way. The marriage ceremony has been an important feature of nearly every culture, religion, generation, and society. We have thousands of important moments that happen throughout our lives, but this one is regarded as one so meaningful that we
acknowledge its special status by sharing it with others. Why this moment? Because, despite all our unique differences, love is what we all share. Love is the great unifier — our one universal truth. No matter who we are, where we have come from, what we believe, we know this one thing . . . love is what we're doing right."
