Within the hour following Kristoff and Anna's wedding ceremony, the reception that took place afterwards was held back inside of the castle. Much like for the day when Elsa's coronation took place, the rooms of the castle were covered with decorations, especially the ballroom, which was where the reception was taking place.

Inside the ballroom, many people were dancing while music was being played. Near the back of the room was a long table which was where the bride, groom, Elsa, and castle staff were supposed to sit. Other smaller tables with chairs were scattered all around the room and were reserved for the royal figures or dignitaries to sit together, along with those meant for different families, both of which included visitors and Arendelle's citizens.

Another long table within the room held all of the food and drinks, both meal foods and snack foods. Some of these foods included hors d'oeuvres, roast, and soup, the latter two of which Anna had wanted when she was previously engaged to Hans. As some people danced, others sat at their tables to eat and drink. The only food that had not been touched yet was the wedding cake.

This cake was very big and tall with eight layers. The cake itself was mixed flavors of both chocolate and vanilla, while the icing was entirely vanilla, but it included decorations of pink roses with green leaves and red hearts. And of course, the finishing touch was a statue each of Kristoff and Anna placed on the very top of the cake.

At the one long table, Anna and Kristoff were sitting in the approximate center. Kristoff was sitting on Anna's left side while Elsa was sitting on her other side. Knowing that the music was about to end, Elsa whispered to Anna, "I'll make the speech right now."

Moments after the music finally stopped and the guests applauded, Elsa stood up from her seat and loudly said, "May I have your attention please?" Then everyone went silent and looked in Elsa's direction. "Thank you. Now, as all of you may remember two years ago, on my coronation, the palace gates had not been opened for years until then, and this was because I had been trying to hide my ice and snow magic and learn to control them completely. But even by then, I still had not been able to do so. However, I learned how to control them because of my sister here, since she saved me from Prince Hans, and it was all because she loved me. She never gave up on me, and she wanted to save the relationship we used to share as children. While I once felt that I had given up hope because of my powers, I never stopped loving Anna. Since we were each other's only family after our parents passed, I couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening to her. I did not accept Prince Hans when I first met him, since he and my sister had only just met, and we learned he was not to be trusted after all. When she first started going with Kristoff, I gave him a chance, since he had helped my sister during the time of the Great Freeze. I had hoped that they would take time to get to know each other and not rush into anything. But when the time came for when Kristoff wanted to propose to Anna, he came to me first and asked for my permission. By that point, I could see how happy he made Anna and how much he was dedicated to her. So of course I told him that they had my blessing of their marriage. I also presented Kristoff with the rank of knighthood to show him that I had developed complete trust and confidence in him for all that he has done for me, Anna, and my kingdom. My sister could not have found a better man with whom to share her life." Elsa paused for a moment and looked down at Anna with tears in her eyes. Anna returned the gaze with tears in her own eyes. Looking back towards the crowd, Elsa continued, "And I couldn't happier for my beloved sister on the most important day of her life." Then she lifted up her glass of champagne as she finished, "For this, I want to make a toast to Anna and Kristoff." Everyone stood up from their seats as Elsa acknowledged Anna and Kristoff. "To Anna and Kristoff, may you have a wonderful life together. I love you both."

"To Princess Anna and Sir Kristoff!" the crowd exclaimed as they all lifted up their glasses of champagne and drank. As they all began to clap, Kristoff and Anna, who by now was starting to cry, each gave Elsa a hug, and Elsa was all too happy to return them.

A few minutes later, Anna and Kristoff had made their way to the center of the ballroom, where they were going to have their first dance as husband and wife. Although neither were terrific dancers, they knew it was tradition to share a dance, so they practiced dancing together as much as they could prior to today, especially to avoid stepping on each other's feet.

Once they were where they were supposed to be, everyone looked in Kai's direction as he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for Princess Anna and Sir Kristoff's first dance as husband and wife."

Kristoff took Anna's right hand in his left one while his right hand was placed on her waist, and her left hand was on his shoulder. "You ready for this?" Kristoff asked softly.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Anna answered. She smiled at him, and he could only smile in return.

Once they heard the romantic waltz music starting to play, they started stepping around to dance as best as they could. Kristoff took the lead by walking around in circles as Anna followed suit to his movements. Sometimes Kristoff would spin Anna around before they faced each other again, spin her further out before they were in each other's embrace again, or he would spin her around completely so she would have her back to him while he held her arms in his own. Enjoying their closeness, Anna leaned her head into Kristoff's chest for comfort, and he rested his chin on her head. At a given point, when they wanted to finish their dance, Kristoff and Anna looked deeply into each other's eyes before Kristoff leaned in and tenderly kissed Anna on her lips. He softly caressed her cheeks as she hugged him around his torso.

The dancing between the couple and the guests continued for several hours, along with eating food as they changed from the lunch food to the dinner food. While the people consumed several desserts that included brownies and an assortment of cookies and chocolates, including a fondue that Kristoff and Anna used to cover their strawberries (which they shared), the wedding cake was still reserved for a later time.

By the time it was 7:00 in the evening, Anna went up to Elsa to ask her if this could now be the time that the cake could be cut up and served. "Yes," Elsa answered once Anna asked her. "I'll make the announcement right now." She walked over to Kai and asked him to help her get everyone's attention for her announcement.

"Attention, everyone," Kai announced out loud, silencing the entire ballroom. "Queen Elsa would like to make an announcement."

"Thank you, Kai." Elsa turned towards everyone as she continued, "The bride has just asked me when we could cut the cake, and I decided that now is the perfect time to do so. So everyone gather round while the bride and groom cut their first pieces, and then our chef will cut the rest of it up into individual pieces for everyone else."

So Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff gathered around the cake first as everyone followed. As he could cut ice in a straight line, Kristoff took the liberty of cutting the first piece carefully for himself and Anna. Per tradition, they took small pieces of the cake and put them into each other's mouths. Then for a little bit of humor, they each took a little bit of icing and smeared onto the other person's face, smirking to each other as they did so.

Soon afterwards, everyone got a piece of the cake, and quite a few came back for seconds. Even Olaf and Sven, who were present inside of the ballroom, got their share of cake as they hung out together. Sven continued to playfully take a bite out of Olaf's nose, but in all, he was just kidding around, and Olaf even made sure to have a couple of extra carrots for Sven to eat.

Not long after eating the cake, it was time for the bride to toss her wedding bouquet. Near her table, Anna stood up on a chair to be able to throw the bouquet from a good height. Quite a number of people gathered in front of her to get a chance to catch the bouquet, including Elsa. Although she did not want to join and didn't believe the superstition that the person who catches the bouquet would be the next one to marry, Elsa decided to do it for fun and for the sake of Anna. Ironically enough, when Anna finally tossed the bouquet…it landed perfectly in Elsa's hands! Everyone in the room gazed at the queen, wondering if this was true, while Anna just giggled and winked at Elsa, who smiled back and just shrugged.

The reception continued for several more hours until almost 11:00, when Elsa announced that the reception was finally over. Slowly but surely, all of the guests made their exits from the palace and began to head home, while the royal visitors headed back to their ships and began to set their courses for their home countries.

It was almost midnight by the time everyone had left, and now Kristoff and Anna were outside and almost finished with packing for their honeymoon. They had changed their clothes and were placing a few days' worth of luggage into the sled, to which Sven was already harnessed. As Elsa and Olaf came outside to see them off, she asked, "So where are you two going for the next couple of days?"

"It's a surprise, so Kristoff didn't tell me," Anna answered.

Kristoff walked over to Anna and placed his arm on her shoulder. "You'll find out soon enough."

"Well, have a good time." Elsa looked at Anna, who looked back at her. Suddenly, Anna rushed into her big sister's embrace and gave her a huge hug, and Elsa was only too happy to return it.

"I love you, Elsa."

"I love you, too, Anna. I hope you two will be happy together." She then turned in Kristoff's direction. "Take good care of her, Kristoff."

"I will, Elsa. You have my word." He smiled at Elsa and leaned in to kiss her cheek as a friendly goodbye, and Elsa kissed his cheek in return.

Kristoff helped Anna step into the sled, then he stepped in himself and grabbed the reins. Olaf came up beside Elsa to wave goodbye to the couple and Sven.

"Bye, Sven! Bye, Kristoff! Bye, Anna!" he exclaimed as he waved to all of them.

"Bye, Olaf! Bye, Elsa!" Kristoff and Anna said in unison as they waved goodbye. Then Kristoff shouted, "Hyah!" which told Sven to go. Elsa continued to wave and yell goodbye to the couple, who did the same. The back of the sled held a sign that said "Just Married," and Elsa watched the sled go until it (especially the sign) and the pair were out of her sight completely.

Elsa continued to stand on the castle steps for a few more minutes. She sniffled, trying to hold back her tears that were beginning to form in her eyes. But she smiled at the same time.

"They'll be happy together, Elsa," Olaf assured her.

"I know, Olaf. They're perfect for each other. They really are." She paused momentarily before she finished, "Well, I'm exhausted now. Let's go back inside."

"I'm coming!"

Elsa let Olaf walk in first, then she looked back out in front of her and sighed happily before she finally walked inside and shut the door behind her.


Well, that wraps it all up with the story of Kristoff and Anna's wedding! Yes, there will be a honeymoon story, but that will be a separate, possible two shot story. And don't worry, there are many more future stories that I have planned between Kristoff and Anna…including stories with their children!

Until the next story and reviews are always accepted and appreciated! :D
