Disclaimer, the usual
The throne room, or chambers as it was more commonly known and referred to as, were now set up for the wedding. Terrance was at the head of the room with his father and mother, while Elena and Her mother waited next to them. The ceiling was opened up and angled perfectly so that the light of the slowly becoming, blue moon shone perfectly at the altar. Alex was stood to the side where he was told to stand, by Ozma, who was stood at the head of the room with Glinda and Locasta at opposite sides of her. Jack was standing with the Gales and the Teaks as none of them were really sure what his and Madeline's place would really be. Ellie and the other girls were standing at attention in their uniforms with a few select members of Locasta's army. The chambers were packed with people, many he recognized, and many he didn't. however, his thoughts were broken by the sound of the chamber doors opening and Madeline slipping in. she walked up to the altar and whispered something to Glinda who nodded and whispered to Locasta who in turn nodded. Madeline then smiled and took out a watch, looking up at skylight and smiled.
"it can begin, time is of the essence." Madeline said taking her place with jack.
Suddenly an orchestra began playing the wedding march. The doors to the chamber opened revealing Alyssa, in her beautiful wedding dress. It was, as requested, relatively simple in design. as the blue light hit the dress it looked as if it were just absorbing it and glowing as well. As her father accompanied her down the aisle it became more apparent that the dress was designed with a floral pattern in mind. This was an addition by the seamstress that both Alyssa and dorothy liked. On the subject of dorothy, however, she was walking behind Alyssa, the scepter floating next to her along the way. As they got to the altar dorothy walked over to alex and took his hand. At this moment Ozma cleared her throat.
"Dear friends, Fellow Ozians, we are gathered here today, as you know, to witness these two be joined together in marriage, a bond that shall last forever." Ozma said.
"I understand that you two wrote your own vows for each other?" Glinda asked curiously.
"well, somewhat, but time is of the essence, so no time to explain." Alyssa said pulling a folded-up piece of paper from her sleeve as Terrance pulled one from his shirt pocket.
The two of them smiled at each other and cleared their throats before Terrance turned to address everyone.
"As you know, soldiers, when they become captains as Alyssa and I are, have to take an 'oath of charge' as I think we used to call it, well for those of you who were there for either of ours, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise." Terrance turning back to face Alyssa and taking her free hand with his own.
"as leaders we once marched side by side, now we shall never be separated from each other, if you feel lost, I shall guide you, if you fall I will catch you, if you are hurt I shall care for you, come hot sun or powerful storm we will stick together, we will carry each other's burden as one, for war brought us together but it will never tear us apart, and to that, I pledge my heart to you." They said in unison, their words echoing through the entirety of the room.
For a moment the room stayed silent, the two of them looked up at the moon, nearly completely eclipsed in blue, the two of them shared a glance and then smiled.
"Well, on with the proceeding, do you, Terrance Chambers, take Alyssa Fulton to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Ozma asked as Locasta stepped up
"I do." Terrance said not breaking his position.
"and do you, Alyssa Fulton, take Terrance Chambers to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Ozma asked as Glinda stepped forward.
"I do." Alyssa said smiling.
Looking up at the moon and then at Madeline who nodded, Ozma smiled.
"Then by the power vested in me as ruler of Oz, Daughter of Lurline The Fairy Queen, I now pronounce you man and wife, Terrance, you may now kiss the bride." Ozma said smiling.
The two of them kissed just as the moon completely eclipsed, it glowed brightly for a moment appearing to be surrounded by a corona.
However, dorothy didn't take much time to admire it as her ears were met with an odd, yet familiar sound. Whispers, like a horde of voices, only for a moment, but long enough for her to notice. However as if to snap her out of the distraction the scepter let out several excited sounding pings. Each followed by a quick burst of energy. She staggered as she attempted to reach for it, only to have it quickly jerk out of the way on its own accord.
Both Alyssa and Terrance shared a laugh at this as this was the reason they had asked dorothy to bring the scepter with her, knowing it would cause some manner of trouble that even she could look back at and laugh to later. As the two of them departed the chambers followed by their parents, dorothy finally managed to get ahold of the scepter and followed closely behind.
