She looked beautiful. Though she had changed out of that red-dress, she looked just as amazing as she did.
She was wearing a shoulderless white dress. The light cape descending from her shoulders, waved gently in the breeze. Her front of the dress was adorned with the golden coloured Arendelle crest, with the symbol of unison on her back. The designs on her sleeves were similar to looking like ferns placed upside down, but they were ice crystals. The full sleeves of her dress covered her arms, just enough to ventilate, yet look elegant. Her skirt was simple. She had chosen not to go with that oversized gown, which Rapunzel had chosen at her coronation of becoming a princess, but a rather beautiful looking normal sized wedding gown which was quite long, but not wide. Her hair was set loose, with a turquoise crown resting on top of her head. Behind that crown, was a ring of white and pink and red coloured flowers from which a white scarf draped down to meet her cape. She was wearing a white and blue necklace. Her face was completely lit up as her eyes shone with joy while Elsa walked her up the aisle toward Kristoff, who yet for the second time looked dazed at her beauty.
The wedding commenced as Alex and Elsa stood side by side near them as ring bearers.
"She looks beautiful," He complimented Elsa. He already knew that Anna's dress was made by her cause' there was no way Anna was maintaining her body temperature with that thick, multilayered gown of hers in midsummer.
"Thanks. Kristoff looks handsome too."
"Eugene's artwork, I was there to just calm him down. Not sure how that actually worked though."
She giggled, "Honeymaren was there to calm her down too. I tried doing the job, but, you can guess how that might've gone," Her right eye twitched, and she pursed her lips nervously.
He chuckled. It was quite true that she wasn't awesome at calming people down, but she wasn't that bad either.
Alex looked down at the ring Anna was going to give to Kristoff. It was extraordinary. The gold ring was embossed with the words 'TRUE LOVE'. It had a white coloured gem in it. The ring symbolized purity, love and joy; all of which Kristoff was to her. The amber-studded golden ring glinted, while resting on the base held in Elsa's arms. The gem was cut beautifully by the trolls, and the ring itself was made from one of the most skilled ringmakers in the kingdom, rendering the final product to be polished and beautifully carved with the symbol of Arendelle's flag.
The vows ended. It was time to get the rings. Alex and Elsa headed over to the duo. The couple thanked them as they took the rings, and wore them, completing the ceremony.
"You may now kiss the bride!" Declared the priest.
They didn't need another millisecond for their lips to meet.
The courts erupted with joy. The claps and cheers resonating and loud as every single member stood up to express their happiness. The trolls cheering the loudest. Olaf and Sven both burst into tears. Then, something marvellous happened.
The air around them suddenly grew cold, as the wind picked up some speed. A pink fire trailed through one window, and water through the other lifted up by the wind and ice, Elsa's ice. She had planned this.
The elements did scare a few people, but they clapped hard after seeing the words, 'Congratulations and long live the happiness' blazing through the church.
Anna and Kristoff were overjoyed.
The courts calmed down after a while.
It was time for the best man to speak.
"Hello everyone and greetings to all who decided to turn up to this amazing event. First, I would love to congratulate the couple sitting right next to me. Secondly, I would like to introduce the people. The snowman sitting at the corner of the table is Olaf, the most huggable; the reindeer next to him, is Sven who is Kristoff's best childhood friend and, the one who I am pretty sure is the best reindeer today. He might just replace me anytime now." He joked, making the audience laugh. "The beautiful young woman sitting next to him is Queen Anna of Arendelle. For the uninitiated, it's her marriage today." He said grinning. "The blonde clunky chump sitting next to her, is her husband," The audience laughed hard at the names he'd called Kristoff who was shocked beyond saying anything. Alex made his voice deeper and more serious, "who happens to be the most WONDERFUL friend and man that I've ever got the honour to meet and can actually even say that he is the most deserving person on the planet for such a marvellous wife. He's the bravest, most selfless man I know, and also the most devoted lover to Anna who I am sure is just as devoted to him." The people sensed the truth in his words and were moved. They clapped at him and Kristoff looked as if he was gonna cry. Alex continued as they all settled. "Moving on, I've got no idea who I am, but I'm pretty sure that I'm known as handsome," He said sarcastically, winking at an old lady near him. The audience got the joke and laughed thankfully. He smiled, "The one sitting next to me is the most beautiful, innocent, coolest, heartwarming, secretly humorous and the most awesome prankster I've ever met." Like Kristoff, she turned beet red too as the guests who knew her as queen laughed their heads off until they got stitches in their sides. Elsa was embarrassed but not offended and joined in the laughter. Anna and Olaf were the ones who were laughing the loudest. The hall quietened down but Anna was still laughing silently. "Y'know, Anna, if you don't want Elsa to faceplant you in cake this evening, you need to stop laughing now," He whispered to her playfully and watched out of the corner of his eye as Elsa's eye met his and she grinned...Mischievously. Oops, Anna was in big trouble now.
He addressed the audience, "I'm gonna save the best man's speech for last as me and Elsa have worked tirelessly, day and night for a week, and all we ended up with, is this," He showed them a sheet of paper with just one word written on it in a tiny font. A few of the
audience laughed while the others looked confused. "Yeah, that's the whole speech," He said, widening his eyes and nodding his head, which made the people laugh even more.
"Now, let's find out who dared not to come to this event," He emphasized jokingly on the word 'dared' which put some light on the words 'find out' too, making the people laugh harder.
The layer of the cards for the unable to come was small. Twenty cards. Should be over in a jiffy.
"Noah and John, of the kingdom of Iliarmis could not come and send their regards and love to the couple."
"Lisa and Joseph of the kingdom of Marthlands couldn't come due to their child being born just yesterday. They wish Anna a happy birthday and god bless their marriage," He took a small pause, indicating the end of the note before he put in his own thoughts. "I hope all is well for them and best of luck to the kid."
He reached the twelfth card which read...
"Stanford of wease...ahem...Weselton, who could not come and wished them best of luck."
"Had a doctor's appointment I suppose," He added quietly so that only those at the table could hear him. Anna snickered, while Elsa did a face somewhere in between a smirk and amusement. "Thank god," Kristoff whispered smiling, still looking at the audience.
"This one's from Michael and Michelle, of the eastern city of Cintheria, who could not come due to some unmentioned complications arising. Well, I hope that all goes well for them," He added sympathetically.
"Yeah, those idiots don't have any idea of what they're ruling," Said a man from the audience. Alex was sure that he didn't want anyone else to hear it except his wife, but the structure of the halls made his voice resonate a bit and everyone heard it. It was a really awkward moment for them all so Alex laughed lightly and said loudly, "Moving on!" before his thoughts could cause an uproar.
"This next one's from," He looked down at the card for the first time and saw that it was a parchment instead. He looked at the names and he felt his heart stop for a second. For the first time in a decade, he was shocked, as he stared at the names of Agnarr and Iduna with the date of... five years ago.
