Adrien blushed as he saw his bride all in white. How was it possible she could be beautiful in anything?  He figured there was nothing she could wear that could make her beauty go away. It was her kindness, her laughter, her occasional temper,  her friendship, and her kisses that made him want to love her more every day. He saw her stand before him.

    "Who gives her away to be wed to King Adrien?" The pastor asked.  "I give myself away," Marinette said.

     Adrien held her right hand in his. They faced each other. He found it hard not to kiss her. He sure wanted to. The two placed a single rose on the side of a small wooden frame. Then, they slid something into it that made the roses join together.  This symbolized their becoming one.

      Adrien repeated the words. Marinette did as well. Then, they wore wedding bands that symbolized their love for one another and the promise never to break their bond. May death be the only thing that tore them apart.  Although, Adrien hoped it was not for many years.

     Alix sobbed. She was so happy for her friends. Robbie wrapped an arm around her. He kissed her cheek. She blushed.  Nathalie smiled. She was so proud of Adrien and Marinette. She could think of no more suitable for the kingdom than those two.

  "You may now kiss your bride, King Adrien Alex Andre Emilie Agreste II."  The pastor announced.

    King Adrien did not have to be told twice. He lifted the veil that stood between him and Marinette's lips. He kissed her. She kissed him. The royal sketch artist smiled. He had gotten many sketches through the ceremony but the one of the kiss was one of the best.

      Adrien danced with Marinette at the wedding feast. He kissed her. She kissed him. 

     Marinette's coronation to mark her as Queen of the Agreste family kingdom was scheduled for after the feast ended.  The two could not wait to be alone. As nice as it was having everyone around it seemed it was rare they found time alone.

       The two ate roasted duck, chicken, cheese, green grapes, bread, gravy, and mashed potatoes. They sipped on the traditional drink, sparkling water with lemon. For dessert, they shared a slice of cake.  

          Unlike other weddings, it was proper for a royal to throw the bouquet. She walked over to Alix and placed it in her hand. This symbolizes her passing of the ownership of the flowers to her friend and hints that Alix would be the next one to be wed. Alix blushed as she accepted them because Robbie winked at her.  

             Then, it was time for the coronation of the Queen. To make it more official like.
