Johan - Netherlands

Henri - Luxembourg

Maddie/Madeline - Canada

Magnus - Denmark

One minute Maddie had simply been making her way through one of her cities, another she was tackled from behind. A pair of arms wrapping around her waist. Before she could even react, a hand took hers and she heard a familiar voice. "Emma, you should not scare her like that. Hello Madeline."

Eh.. Henri. Maddie could never decide if he got his good manners from his brother or his sister. Usually she came to the conclusion he didn't get it from either of them. Luxembourg's manners were just to refined for blunt, maybe even rude, Netherlands or happy, uncaring, Belgium.

"Salut Henri, Emma. You can let go of me now." Though she mainly meant Emma, as she didn't try to shake of Henri's hand. "What are the two of you doing in my country? Not that I mind," Of course she didn't, they were her in-laws-to-be and Johan adored his younger siblings, still "but I don't think I forgot any kind of important, international meeting."

At that, Henri let go of Maddie's hand and stepped in front of her. Emma moved to stand besides her younger brother. "It's international." She said. Henri elaborated. "Marriage between two nations, on international level or not. Johan told us he proposed to you, Maddie, and that you said yes." He told her smiling.

He had already told his siblings. She should have known. They were so close and Johan wouldn't have been able to hide it even if he wanted to. Europe wasn't all that large and word travelled fast there. The BeNeLux was even smaller, Emma and Henri would noticed anyway.

"You know already, I haven't even told my family yet" Maddie admitted, they were just so busy. She couldn't always reach them and when she was able to, they seemed to forget that she was the one that called them. Telling her about their lives and hanging up on her before she could tell them what had happened in hers. Like being proposed to. Like being engaged. Like to be married.

Emma and Henri shared a look. "What?" She asked. "Well," Emma started "you know that Magnus is Johan's best friend. My brother doesn't share private things like this with many people." Belgium just sighed. "He does share it with Denmark," Henri supplied, "and he shares it with everyone." Maybe that's how some of the old world's rumour wildfires had started, the Canadian thought.

"He already told so many people?" the Canadian asked. "Just us three, and he probably told his government that he was going to do it." Henri responded. "Denmark would have known something was going on anyway." Emma provided.

Maddie simply took out her mobile phone. "I'll send something to Francis, Arthur and Alfred." Maddie muttered, as both Henri and Emma had both taken a hold of her hand and dragged her towards the more exciting parts of the city.

She had tried to call them. If they learned of the wedding just before it happened, it wasn't her fault, she had tried. Maddie just hoped her family would show up in time.
