Ghastly turned and saw Tanith. She was standing there in her wedding dress, walking up the aisle, up to Solomon Wreath. It was weird. He saw her now as e always saw her but, there was something different about her. She seemed to glow.
"Wow." Ghastly said under his breath, smiling at Tanith from the seat he was standing at. She smiled back and continued walking.
Tanith took her place beside Wreath at the altar.
"We are here today to join Solomon Wreath and Tanith Low in matrimony. You may all sit." The priest said.
Everyone sat down but Ghastly remained standing. Skulduggery who was wearing the facade tugged on Ghastly's sleeve and Ghastly sat down.
The priest went on and eventually came to the vows.
"If anyone present feels that these two people should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold their peace."
Ghastly had to do it. He stood and everyone in the church looked at him. He walked up to the alter and Wreath looked at him in shock. Ghastly turned to Tanith.
"I'm sorry to do this on your wedding day but Tanith, I love you."
Tanith stood there awestruck, and then she kissed Ghastly. Wreath watched in sadness as his former bride-to-be kissed another man. He took his Necromancer staff and walked out of the church letting the shadows consume him as he walked away.
