The thirty days of mourning passed quickly for Lord Collin and Lady Mary and they had begun to plan their wedding both in St. Ann's Anglican Church and followed by a second wedding celebration held out in the garden where they fell in love back as children in 1910.

Misselthwaite Manor was being prepared for the grand wedding and wedding reception for Lord Collin and Lady Mary.

Lady Mary was one that followed wedding etiquette very closely, and everything Lord Collin tried to get a peek of Mary in her wedding dress she would tell him. "It is bad luck for the groom to see his bride in her wedding dress before the wedding."

"Mary you know that is just an old wives tale." Collin said laughing

"This might be but still the groom may not see what his bride to be is wearing before their wedding day." Mary said.

"You will drive me mad with passion for you." Collin said.

"I am sure you will survive as our wedding day is approaching." Mary said.

"You would have me to wait until our wedding day to see you in your wedding dress and attire." Collin asks

"Yes it is just two days a way. I want you to see me walk down the aisle at St. Ann's and the runner that is leading me from the front door and into the garden." Mary said.

"You will be the most beautiful bride in all of England and Yorkshire." Collin said.

"You say this because I am soon to be your bride and wife." Mary says.

"I say it because it is the truth. No one con compare to your beauty." Collin says.

Mary just smiles at Collin while peeking out of her door.

"Please my dear Mary let me come in. You can hide your wedding apparel so I don't see it." Collin begs.

"Very well, give me a moment so I can put my wedding dress and veil away where you don't see it." Mary says and after she puts her wedding dress and veil away. She opens the door for Collin to come in and be with her.

Collin takes Mary in his arms and kisses her and says, "Comment en les monde suis je aller pour vie sans vous."

"Vous faire pas avoir pour vie san me toujours." Mary said, "Je volonté est votre mariée pour le reste de votre vie."

"Je volonté est votre marié pour tout de votre vie." Collin says.

"Je promettre pour est les mieux marié pour vous toujours." Collin said.

Mary smiles at Collin and says, "Vous une fois le dit nous volonté se et nous vouloir jamais est partie et encore il est venir vrai."

"I would never lie to you my dear Mary, the love of my life." Collin said.

"I know that my dear Collin, that is why I love you so. All of our lives you have told me the truth." Mary says.

"I will never lie to you my dear Mary. I want us always to trust one another and love each other for all of our lives." Collin says.

"Tout de ma vie je avoir attente simplement pour une homme-gentil." Mary says in French, "Les une homme qui vouloir prendre me au loin de tout de ceci."

"Vous avoir trouver les une homme qui volonté amour vous tout les temps." Collin says.

"Promettre me Collin quel vous volonté jamais partie me toujours." Mary says

"Mon cher Mary atlas vous savoir je pouvoir pas promettre vous quel." Collin says.

"Je vouloir mort sans vous en ma vie." Mary says

"My dear Mary we are young and we are not even 23 years old. We have our whole lives to spend together." Collin says taking Mary in his arms.

Mary starts to sing a French love song in French, "Faire pas partie me je avoir connu quel il est pour et tout seul tout de ma vie."

"Pour sans vous je suis rien chez tout." Mary sings, "Quel vouloir je faire san vous oh dire me quel vouloir je faire sans vous."

Collin listens to Mary sing and says, "They taught you well to sing. You have the voice of the sweetest nightingale."

"Merci mon amour coming from you that means a lot." Mary says.

"Will you sing for everyone on our wedding day after our wedding ceremony in the garden?" Collin asks

"I will try to sing but I sing for you ma amour." Mary says

"I am sure everyone would be enchanted with your lovely voice." Collin said.

"Je chanter pour vous et seul vous." Mary says

Mary hears a knock at her door and says, "Come in Martha."

"Good Afternoon Lady Mary and Lord Collin, I have ye tea here." Martha says.

"Thank you Martha please just place it on the table." Mary says.

"Yes Lady Mary." Martha replies, placing the tea tray on the table, and curtseying and walking out of the room.

"Come my dearest join me for tea and scones." Mary says taking Collin by the hand and leading him to a chair and sitting him down in it.

Mary pours Collin his tea and places his scones on a china plate and says, "Here is your tea and scones ma amour."

"Merci mon amour pour the tea and scones." Collin says taking the tea and scones and joining Mary for afternoon tea and scones.

Mary and Collin enjoy each other's company until it grows late into the evening. They are two young people in love that forget time and space. Their love is endless like the ocean for each other.

Collin pulls out his pocket-watch and says, "Gracious it is getting late my dear Mary."

"Is it I haven't noticed it at all." Mary says.

"What time is it?" Mary asks

"It is nearing eight o'clock." Collin says

"I am not at the least bit sleepy." Mary says looking out the window of her compartment and looking towards the garden.

"I don't wish to tire you out. Just think in a day's time we will be married to each other." Collin said.

"Yes oh yes we will be married and be husband and wife." Mary says, "Volonté vous est gentil avec me dans nous premier noir se."

"Yes I will be very gentle with you. We will make gentle passionate love to each other and it will carry us into a whole other world." Collin said.

"I have never touched a man but you have you ever touched another woman don't be afraid to tell me." Mary asks

"No not at all. I never did like the girls at the University campus they remind me of what do you call a lady of the evening." Collin said.

"Ah in French we call such women that sell their bodies for sex une putain." Mary says.

"Yes that is a good word for the women who sell themselves to the men on the university campus." Collin laughs.

"Volonté vous faire me tien pour tout temps." Mary asks Collin.

"Oui je volonté faire vous le mien pour toujours." Collin says.

"We will need no other but each other." Collin says.

"Ensuite je pouvoir pas attente pour le jour." Mary says.

The evening turns into late night and Collin says, "I will let you get your beauty rest, tomorrow is our big day."

"Yes it is I can hardly wait." Mary says walking Collin to the door and says, "Tomorrow we will know no lonely nights."

"Yes tomorrow we will become as one." Collin says, "I have waited for this day so long."

"It is now here." Mary said kissing Collin.

Collin responds back and kisses Mary and said, "Demain je volonté faire vous tout mien."

"Je volonté est la une attente pour vous chez les altar en blanc." Mary says.

"I will be there waiting for you mon cher Mary." Collin says and kisses Mary one more time and walks down the corridor towards his compartments. Mary watches him walk down the corridor and as soon as he is out of sight she closes her door.

Mary starts to get undressed and get ready for bed. She goes to bed early because tomorrow Collin and she will be married and they stayed married for 27 happy years.

There is no love other such as the love between Lord Collin and his dulcinée, Lady Mary, who will soon become Lady Mary Craven, the Grand Mistress of Misselthwaite Manor.

Lady Mary walks over to her chest drawers and takes out a miniature picture of her late mother and father and says, "I wish you could have cared about me more when you were alive. I wish you were here to share in my happiness when Lord Collin and I marry tomorrow."

Mary thinks back when neither her late mother nor father cared about her. They forgot her altogether as her late father was an Officer in King George's Army and her late mother was the beauty and socialite who just liked to be the center of attraction.

How very different was Lady Mary from her late mother.

Whereas Lady Rose liked to be around people, attending endless socials and teas, Lady Mary was a quiet young woman who cared nothing about such things.

Lady Mary was content to become the wife of the only young man she would ever love and care about and live at Misselthwaite Manor because it had been her home for the last 13 years.

Lady Mary walks over to her bed, which is warm and cozy from the fire in her fireplace, and she climbs into her bed and drifts off to a peaceful sleep.

Mary sleeps peacefully through the night and the nightingales sing outside her window the song Qui volonté est la pour vous.

Je volonté est la pour vous Je volonté la pour vous pour le reste de votre vie.

Je Prendre Vous Mary Pour EST Mon Mariée: Je Prendre Vous Collin Pour EST Ma Marié Jusqu'à Mort Faire Nous Partie. Lady Mary's and Lord Collin's big day had finally arrived. They chose a beautiful day in June to marry each other. Lord Collin was being helped to dress by James, his gentlemen's gentleman and Lady Mary was in her compartment being helped by Martha, Mrs. Medlock, and Betty. Mrs. Medlock stepped back and said, "Miss Mary you are beautiful in that dress." "Oh thank you Mrs. Medlock it belonged to my late Aunt Lily. She was saving it for the time if Uncle Archie and she had a daughter; she said if she didn't have a daughter it was to be passed onto her brother's daughter." "You certainly make the most beautiful bride you have so many of the attributes that Lady Lily once possessed." Mrs. Medlock said. "My lady the bouquet is simply beautiful. They are flowers carefully picked from the garden and made into a bouquet with pink streamers coming down from the bouquet." Martha said. "Yes I had Will and Dickon pick them out carefully for this day." Mary said. "I know Lord Craven had wished to see this day, but I have a feeling that Lady Lily and he is watching both of you from above." Mrs. Medlock said. "How I wish they were alive this day." Mary said, "They know that Lord Collin and you were the perfect match." Mrs. Medlock said. "Yes we are I love Collin with all my heart." Mary says "Lord Collin loves you with all his heart." Mrs. Medlock says. "My lady we better start off to the church. We don't want to be late for your weddings now do us?" Mrs. Medlock said. "No we don't I can hardly wait, but I will not feel truly married until we are married in the garden." Mary said. It was traditional that the bride walks to the church on her wedding day with her female attendants. There at the church her groom waits for to enter the church door and at the sound of the music, the bride starts to walk up the aisle to meet her groom. It is the very first time the groom will see his bride in her wedding apparel. Lord Collin with James is already waiting for Lady Mary and her attendants to arrive at the church. Finally the music starts to play and slowly Mary walks up the aisle to meet Collin at the altar to exchange their wedding vows with each other. Lord Collin has a smile on his face when he sees how beautiful Mary is in her wedding dress. It is the same wedding dress that many years ago Lady Lily, his late mother wore at her wedding to his late father. Mary finally reaches the altar and the music stops to play and the Vicar says, " We come together to join this man, Lord Collin Craven and this woman, Lady Mary Lennox in Holy Matrimony. Marriage is an honorable state and should not be entered into lightly. I say now if anyone among have any just reason or cause that these two should not be married speak now or forever hold your peace." Every one in attendance is quiet so the Vicar continues with the wedding liturgy and says, "Lord Collin and Lady Mary face each other and take each other's left hand." The Vicar starts and says, "Lord Collin do you willingly take this woman, Lady Mary Lennox to be your lawfully wedded wife." Lord Collin says, "I do with all my heart take this woman Lady Mary to be my lawfully wedded wife." The Vicar turns to Mary and says, "Lady Mary do you willingly take this man, Lord Collin to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Lady Mary looks at Collin and says, "I do with my entire heart take this man, Lord Collin, to be my lawfully wedded husband." "By the powers in vested in me by the Church of England I pronounce you Lord Collin and you Lady Mary, husband and wife by the laws of Great Britain under the Crown of King George the V and The Church of England. You may kiss your bride Lord Collin." The Vicar said. Lord Collin lifts the veil from Mary's face and kisses her and she kisses him back and The Vicar said, "I give to you the New Lord and Lady Collin Craven of Misselthwaite Manor." Martha hands Mary her bouquet and the music starts to play and Lord Collin with his new bride and wife, Lady Mary walk down the aisle hand in hand. They exit the church and everyone comes up to extend their congratulations to the newly wed couple. Lord Collin and Lady Mary had decided to exchange wedding rings within the beauty of Lily's Garden. There waiting for them is the assistant vicar to make their day more memorable. Lord Collin helps Lady Mary into the limousine and James drives them back to Misselthwaite Manor, where they will exchange their wedding vows a second time and exchange wedding bands. The wedding celebration within the garden is private. It is only open for the staff of Misselthwaite Manor and Dr. Craven. Mrs. Medlock has set up a lavish reception with a beautiful wedding cake, and many delicacies for the invited guest to enjoy and an orchestra was hired to play for the guests and bride and groom to dance too. Lord Collin comes up and asks his new bride, "Pouvoir Je avoir ceci danser pour le reste de mon vie." Lady Mary makes a deep curtsey and says, "Oui vous pouvoir avoir ceci danser et tout danser pour le reste de votre vie." Lord Collin raises Lady Mary up from her deep curtsey and he says, "You never need to curtsey to me my dear Mary. You are now Grand Mistress of Misselthwaite Manor." "You are my lord and husband; I curtsey out of respect for you." Mary says. "I give you permission never to curtsey to me ever again." Collin said. "It shall be as you wish." Mary says and she allows Collin to lead her to the grand ballroom where they dance the very first dance together as husband and wife. Both Lord Collin and Lady Mary are very happy. They can't take their eyes off of each other. It was the happiest day of their lives on that beautiful June 22, in 1923. The wedding festival went on and Lord Collin and Lady Mary danced every dance together and finally one by one the guest started to leave Misselthwaite Manor after they wished the new bride and groom all the happiness. Lady Mary made a gracious and charming hostess and she thanked each one for coming to their wedding and sharing their special day together. Mary watched each guest climb into the automobiles and drive down the driveway of Misselthwaite Manor and off the property, and when she saw the last guest leave. She walked back into the manor and closed the door behind her. Mary walked into the quiet of the study where Lord Collin was waiting for her and said, "This is a glorious day it is one we will never forget as long as we live." So, Lord Collin and his dulcinée and now mariée Lady Mary were married twice, one at St. Ann's and the other in Lily's Garden. It would be the wedding ceremony in the garden that Lady Mary and Lord Collin would remember for the rest of their lives. Their lives together had just begun. It would last 27 years.
