Crown Prince Alexander and Alexa were right before the King and Queen. The King was grinning broadly, but the Queen was at a loss for words.
They turned to face the assembly after bowing to the King and the Queen, mother of the realm. Alexander, the Crown Prince, spoke.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are grateful that you could attend our wedding. We are sorry to everyone for taking you by surprise when we decided to use this as a chance to get married.
"We only wanted a small wedding with only our most trusted advisors and families. We expected a lavish wedding, but we would rather have a simple wedding and all the money we would save to give to people in need worldwide.
"Don't think that we will let you all off lightly. We have fundraising going on right now, and you can all make donations as our gifts." Banter's Crown Prince Alexander, looking at everyone seriously. He meant every word he said.
