Ch. 3: The Wedding and Wedding Night!

Henry and Danielle stood out in the gardens for a few more minutes, and then Henry commented that maybe they should go and get some sleep for the following day. The next day was their wedding day. Henry walked Danielle back to her chambers and then proceeded to his own.

Danielle woke to the sun rays shining through her window onto her bed. Unlike the previous morning, Henry was not there to greet her with a kiss. She knew that he was in his bed, waiting for the time to pass so they could be married, and she crowned his queen. She was likewise waiting for the event to come, and was anxious as well. She still couldn't believe that in a few hours, she would be Henry's wife and Queen of France. She wished her father could see this. He would be proud of her for following her heart. She got out of bed and went to have breakfast with Marie. She wouldn't see Henry all day, because that was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony, the day of. They had a pleasant breakfast, and then Danielle went to get ready. She had her serving-ladies do her hair first. They took her long tresses, and started to pile them on her head. They let a few curls frame her face.

"You truly look like a Queen, now. You look beautiful. Henry will be shocked." said Marie as she hugged her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

It was now 1 hour before the wedding would take place. Danielle couldn't believe it. She would be a married woman in an hour! She had the ladies dress her in her white wedding dress. The dress was sleeveless, with 2" wide straps. The bodice had intricate bead work, with tiny crystals stitched into the materiel. The bodice was fitted and the skirt puffed out at her waist. The skirt was layers and layers of netting and she looked like a queen in it. Maire came over to her and placed a tiara on her head that had a veil attached to it. Part of the veil went over her face and the other part went down to her feet. The train of her dress was at least 3 feet long. She had on beautiful flat shoes that had bead work like her bodice. Her look was complete.

She and Marie hurried to the Royal Church, where Henry was already waiting. He was wearing a scarlet doublet with ivory pants. He had on his good boots for special occasions, and his gold chain with the ruby in the center that attached at his shoulders. Then the wedding march was being played. Henry looked behind him and he held his breath. Danielle looked like an angel in her white dress. Henry couldn't believe what laid before his eyes. He looked at Leonardo, who winked. Henry smiled, and Danielle finally reached the altar. She put her hand in Henry's, and they knelt for the ceremony to begin.

After a two-hour ceremony, Danielle and Henry were husband and wife! They walked out of the church, hand-in-hand talking and kissing every so often. Marie met them back at the palace.

"Danielle! Henry! I am so happy for you two! You are going to be so happy together, I just know it. Nothing can go wrong in this relationship! I think you two should go and have a nice honeymoon in Spain, and not let anyone know that you're there. I can handle the kingdom while you're away. If I need you, I'll call for you. Don't worry. Now, come with me. I have something to show you."

Marie took them to a part of the castle Danielle had never seen before. Marie led them to a pair of wooden doors and opened them. Danielle gasped. The room was their new chambers. The room had a scarlet and gold theme going, which were the royal colors. This was their sitting room, with a scarlet couch and two scarlet armchairs by the fireplace. They moved into the bedroom and there was an enormous king size bed with a scarlet cover on it. Marie quietly left and let the couple be alone.

"Come here, my wife." ordered Henry.

She came closer to him and they kissed softly. Danielle broke it and went into their new dressing room to put on something more comfortable. The servants had transferred all of their clothes from their separate chambers and into their new one. Danielle tried to take off her wedding dress, but got stuck. Five minutes after she departed, Henry heard a scream for help.

"HENRY! Come help me! I'm stuck!"

Henry laughed as he walked into the dressing room and saw the catastrophe in front of him. Danielle had the wedding dress half on, half off. The skirt was up over her head and you couldn't see her face, and the bodice was the part that was stuck.

"Henry, I couldn't undo the back, so I tried to pull it off this way. It didn't work, did it?"

"No, it didn't my love. You look like you just got out of a tornado!"

Henry shook his head and went over to help his trapped wife. He smoothed the skirt back down and undid the back, like you're supposed to. As he went, he kissed her neck, and moved to her shoulders. She leaned back into him and let him do what he would. She pulled away when she felt he had undid the last hook and shooed him out. He went and made his way to the bed. He took off the scarlet doublet he had been wearing and put it on the chair beside his side of the bed. Just then, Danielle came out. She was wearing a scarlet robe with gold trimming.

"Will this do?" she asked in a very lusty voice.

Henry stood there, by the bed his mouth hanging open. 'That will do' he thought. She moved over to her side of the bed, and pulled back the covers. He followed her example. She got on the bed and patted the spot next to her. He slid down and caught her waist and pulled her on top of him. She laid there for a minute and studied his face. Then, she closed her eyes and undid her robed for a night she would never forget.

The next morning, Danielle felt the rays of the sun on her face. She looked beside her and saw her sleeping husband. His hair was untidy and he looked like an angel lying there. 'My guardian angel' she thought. She decided to get out of bed and make him breakfast. Henry woke and saw that Danielle was not there. A few minutes later, she came in with a tray of food for the two of them.

"Good morning, darling. I made you breakfast!" she exclaimed.

"Yummy!"

She sat beside him and ate breakfast with him. They enjoyed their first meal has husband and wife. Later they were going on their honeymoon, to...Italy!
