Alice stood alone in her bedchamber; wearing a snow-colored gown and holding a bouquet of white roses in her trembling hands. All she was able to do was stare in the mirror; hardly able to comprehend that she was about to marry someone that she absolutely despised. Suddenly, she heard tapping at the window and saw the floating head of a grinning cat. She rolled her eyes and opened the window.

"Chessur, what are you doing here?" asked Alice.

"I've come to see the Queen, naturally." said the Cheshire Cat.

"I'm in no mood for your teasing." said Alice, shutting the window.

"Well then," The Cheshire Cat appeared in full form behind Alice. "I suppose that I won't be able to give you this."

The Cheshire Cat opened his paw and revealed a beautiful emerlad necklace. Alice gasped and took the necklace from him.

"Chessur, it's beautiful! What is for?" asked Alice, fastening the necklace around her neck.

"It's a wedding present."

"Oh, I see."

Alice sighed and sat on the bed; the Cheshire Cat appeared next to her and sat beside her.

"A little doubt, I presume?" asked the Cheshire Cat.

"I know that I'm marrying Ilosovic for the right reason, but it feels wrong. Doesn't that seem a bit senseless?"

"You are in Underland, love."

Before Alice could say anything; the White Rabbit came into the room and Alice followed him down to the foyer of the castle.

"Once I blow the trumpet, you'll step outside, all right?" said the White Rabbit.

Alice nodded. "Yes."

"Remember your duties, Alice. In honor of the Queen." said The White Rabbit.

"I will."

The White Rabbit stepped outside and Alice began to pace; wondering if she had time to run off. Suddenly, she heard the trumpet and the doors swung open. At first, Alice was frozen when she saw all of the citizens at Underland staring at her. She swallowed hard and slowly began walking towards Ilosovic, who was clothed completely in red and wearing his long hair in a ponytail. Alice would never admit it, but he looked terribly handsome; and she couldn't believe that he didn't run off and abandon Underland.

Slightly lost in her thoughts, Alice didn't even realize that she had reached Ilosovic and that her arm was linked in his. They both faced the bloodhound Bayard, who would act as the officant. Alice found it a little odd that Bayard was performing the ceremony; considering that he was a dog, and wasn't a priest or a judge.

"Citizens of Underland, we are gathered to unite Alice Kinglsey and Ilosovic Stayne: the future royals of our kingdom. Now, Alice, do you take Ilosovic to be your husband? Do you promise to love no other and to be his Queen until the end of your days?"

"I...I...I do." said Alice, hardly able to say the words that she dreaded.

"Ilosovic, do you take Alice to be your wife? Do you promise to love no other and to be her King until the end of your days?"

"I do." said Ilosovic, with no hesitation whatsoever.

"May we have the rings?" asked Bayard.

Ilosovic and Alice were handed their rings by the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat respectively. They slipped them onto one another's fingers and then briefly looked up at one another.

"Henceforth, you are wed. People of Underland, I am honored to present our rulers: Ilosovic and Alice Stayne. You may kiss your bride, Ilosovic."

Ilosovic placed a hand behind Alice's neck and then slowly began to kiss her. At first, it seemed as the kiss would be short; but the newly married couple did not seem to stop. The White Rabbit tapped his watch to be sure that it was working correctly, and the Cheshire Cat let out a slight yawn. Finally, Bayard straightened his throat and Alice and Ilosovic broke apart; both slightly surprised by how long they had actually kissed. They quickly faced the citizens and then made their way down the altar, as they were showered with white rose petals. They stepped inside of the castle and stood at the foyer; the door then closed and the two realized they had just gotten married.

"We've done it." said Ilosovic.

"Well, I best change my clothes in my chamber." said Alice.

Alice started up the stairs, when she realized that Ilosovic was following her. She turned to him and folded her arms.

"What are you doing?" asked Alice.

"You can't return to your chamber, Alice."

"Why not?"

"We're married now and will soon be crowned as King and Queen: we both must reside in the royal chambers."

"What about the sleeping arrangements?"

Ilosovic raised his eyebrow and Alice realized just exactly where she and he were meant to sleep.

"Oh, of course." said Alice, a hint of reluctance in her voice.

Ilosovic extended his arm and Alice nervously took it; allowing him to lead her to their bedchamber.
