For My Kingdom

A Frozen Fan Fiction

Chapter Two:

Princess Anna Bjorgman of Arendelle

The hall of the chapel was filled with joy and fervor as the many guests waited for the ceremony to begin.

As queen and maid of honor, Elsa stood before the room of foreign dignitaries, advisers, friends, and more than a few trolls, with her head erect in immense pride. Her gown, selected by Anna, was a soft, pastel yellow with wide, bell sleeves of white lace that reached just a few inches above her elbow. It was a summery ensemble selected just for that reason. Over the previous two years, Elsa had garnered the nickname of "The Snow Queen" throughout Arendelle as well as neighboring lands due to her ability to conjure up snow and ice at will (and sometimes unintentionally). However, Anna wanted to convey that her sister wasn't so cold and distant as the name suggested. In fact, since Elsa has learned how to control her powers after the debacle of a snowy summer, she had spent an exorbitant amount of time and energy making up for the thirteen years with her sister she had lost while hiding in fear of her powers. The number of snowmen they built was... astronomical.

The doors at the end of the hall opened. Every head in the audience turned as they stood to greet the bride and groom and the choir began to sing. Anna appeared even more beautiful with her arm linked with Kristoff's than she had earlier that afternoon. Her cheeks were flushed pink as she occasionally glanced sideways at her very-soon-to-be husband, her eyes lit with adoration and glistening with tears that had yet to be shed.

Kristoff certainly never seemed happier in the time that Elsa has known him than he did right at that moment, walking down the aisle with his true love. He cleaned up nicely in a tuxedo. Though his lineage was less than royal, you wouldn't be able tell that at all by looking at him, let alone that he was raised by trolls.

Next to Elsa, standing on a tall table, stood Kristoff's adoptive-father, Cliff the Troll. He was the one who had tried to marry Kristoff and Anna the very first day they met, and he could not look more thrilled even if he had the word stamped across his forehead. The book in his hands that had the words that he was going to say for the ceremony shook ever so slightly and his ear-to-ear grin looked such that Elsa was somewhat concerned that his face would get stuck like that if he didn't start talking soon.

Anna and Kristoff stepped up the two stairs onto the low platform. Sharing a meaningful smile with her sister, Anna handed her the large bouquet of wildflowers and gave her a low curtsy. Elsa inclined her head in return and they both turned to look at Cliff whose face had become earnestly happy rather than ridiculously elated.

"Are you ready?" Cliff whispered.

The couple looked at each other and smiled, nodding.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the bonding before God of Kristoff Bjorgman and Princess Anna of Arendelle in holy matrimony." Though Cliff was small, his voice carried loudly across the entire hall.

He turned to Kristoff first, "Before Almighty God and these witnesses in attendance, I ask Kristoff Bjorgman: Will you take Princess Anna of Arendelle to be your wife and love her in distress and joy?"

Kristoff stood straighter and responded, "Yes."

Cliff's smile broadened and he turned to Anna, "Before Almighty God and these witnesses in attendance, I ask Princess Anna of Arendelle: Will you take Kristoff Bjorgman to be your husband and love him in distress and joy?"

"Yes."

"If any party in the congregation sees reason as to why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Silence enveloped the audience.

"Kristoff Bjorgman and Princess Anna of Arendelle, I now pronounce you husband and wife." Cliff looked sideways at his son, winked, and said, "You may kiss the bride."

The couple looked at each other, and with a moment of tenderness between them, Kristoff wrapped an arm around Anna's waist and laid one on her.

While the dignitaries and Anna's friends clapped politely on the right side of the hall, the trolls on the left whooped and hollered with elation. Sven the reindeer, who was sitting in the front row on the trolls' side, practically howled in pleasure of seeing his best friend married. Elsa grinned and tossed up a ball of white into the air above her brother and sister, causing a small amount of white snowflakes to rain down on the kissing couple.

When the couple finally separated, they turned to face the witnesses, beaming triumphantly as fresh snow began to speckle their hair and coat their shoulders.

Cliff continued, "I now present to you, Prince Kristoff Bjorgman and Princess Anna Bjorgman, of Arendelle." He slammed the book shut unceremoniously and shoved it up into the air above his head, looking toward his fellow trolls. "They did it! They finally did it!"

The hall exploded into a flurry of merriment as the trolls rushed forward to embrace the couple. Elsa released the flurry so it dissipated into the air and was embraced herself by several of her new cousins.

The bells of the church rang out joyously and everyone was happy.
