"Today a piece of Arendelle was shattered."
I look out into the faces of my people. Many of them look a great deal more distressed than they had earlier, and with good reason.
"I would like to sing to you one of my favorite songs; it is a song about Arendelle and I know that you all are familiar with it. Join me if you will."
The throne room is still as my voice rings out clear and strong.
"In the mountain's arms
Held closely by the hills
A kingdom safe and warm
Is resting very still
It's people strong
Their hearts are well
I hear their song
'We never broke, we never fell
We are the folk of Arendelle'
"Along the water's edge
Ripples dancing near
Loyalty is pledged
To this kingdom standing here
It's people strong
Their hearts are well
I hear their song
'We never broke, we never fell
We are the folk of Arendelle'
"The wind howls from the peaks
Swirling storm inside
Down till it may reach
Where the kingdom still resides
It's people strong
Their hearts are well
I hear their song
'We never broke, we never fell
We are the folk of Arendelle'
"We never broke, we never fell
We are the folk of Arendelle"
Our voices rise up into a harmonious chorus. We are the folk of Arendelle.
The song being finished, a blanket of silence falls over the great room.
My voice tugs this blanket away, "We have all just sang that we will never be a broken nor a fallen people. Arendelle may have had its outer shell pierced into fragments, but we shall not let our core be broken. We will mend our kingdom back to the way it was before.
"We start this mending right this very moment by mending Anna and Kristoff together in marriage."
The villagers are nodding their approval. I can see something in them that I could not a few minutes ago; hope.
The ceremony progresses in a similar fashion as earlier in the day.
The individual members of the procession advance down the aisle and take their appropriate places.
You've already heard the basic concept of this wedding once; I do not wish to bore you.
All you really need to know is that everything is going according to plan... thus far.
It is now Anna's moment to shine. She is as breathtakingly beautiful as before, clad in the same attire. Although, I do believe we are all more focused on praying that she actually completes her walk than we are focused on her herself.
Walk just a little faster, Anna. This is the most nerve-wracking part because this is where everything fell apart last time.
She makes it to Kristoff. We all simultaneously breathe out a sigh of relief.
This is when we enter into that dull time in every wedding where it's all a bunch of boring talking that nobody cares about (in this case, I'm actually the one talking). As I stated earlier, I do not care to bore you, so I shall spare you the details on this particular part.
"I pronounce you husband and wife." I feel as though we have gotten to a more relevant moment. "You may now kiss the bride."
Kristoff takes Anna into his arms. They share a long, beautiful kiss.
My vision gets blurry, and I know that I have become that soppy big sister.
My heart is so happy for Anna.
Yet I do feel something strange as I watch them together.
Anna has Kristoff. Elsa has... Elsa.
A twinge in my hand shoves me back into reality.
