Maria sighs as she and Georg climb into the car after their wedding ceremony. They're on their way back to the estate to take pictures before their wedding reception. Maria can hardly believe any of this is real. A few months ago she was still planning to be a nun and now she's a married woman. She looks down at her hands. Everything about her seems to have changed. The gold band on her left ring finger seems to have changed her. This day has gone by in a blur, but at least the nuns at Nonnberg Abbey are supportive of her.
"Maria, are you alright?" Georg asks as he looks at her as they pull up to the estate.
"It's all a bit overwhelming, but I'm glad you're with me. This has all happened so quickly and I'm not sure my brain has caught up with everything yet." Maria whispers.
"I know how you feel. It was odd to see Elsa at the wedding today, too. All I could think of today was how much I hadn't liked you when you first arrived and how quickly the children grew to love you. I was almost upset with myself that I hadn't looked closer at you before I passed judgment. You've made me very happy." Georg says as he climbs out of the car and comes around and opens the car for Maria and helps her out.
