Chapter 1. The wedding day.
All of Paris was buzzing with gossip about the wedding that was to take place between the Viscount De Chagny and Christine Daae. Everyone was excited and happy for the couple. Everyone except for Christine. She was happy until the maid came in. "Excuse me, Miss. But you're wedding dress came back." Christine looked up confused. "Wedding dress?" The maid nodded. "Yes, the one you came here in. The Seamstress couldn't believe how light the fabric was. Why don't you wear it in your wedding?" "It's just not for my wedding with Raoul." The maid smiled. "Hehe… you sound like you're planning another wedding after this one." "Nope! This is it!" The maid left leaving Christine alone once more. "Hehe…you sound like you're planning another wedding after this one…" That innocent remark kept echoing through Christine's mind, as she got ready for her wedding.
(The wedding is spectacular! It goes off without a hitch. But when it comes to the "I do's"…)
"Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?" The priest asks. Christine hesitates. For the first time—since he forced her to choose—she was unsure if this is what she really wanted. "Mademoiselle, do you take this man as your husband?" The priest asks again. Christine freezes. "I… I do." She answers. "Well then, I now pronounce you man and wife. Monsieur you may kiss your bride." Raoul turns to me and kisses me lovingly. On the inside I was more confused than ever.
Chapter 2. After the wedding
After the wedding I excused myself to go down to the chapel. Then raoul came along. "Lottie what happened?" "Nothing!" I yell. Raoul glares. "Well it has to be something." "It's just that when the priest announced us man and wife it felt…" I trailed off. "It felt…" Raoul prompted. A moment passed and I looked up at him. "Wrong." I said. "Wrong…" He repeated.
