The wedding party begins with a dinner together. Before dinner began, several families and close relatives gave their congratulations and short speeches to the bride and groom. They also give their best prayers and hopes for them.
The most touching was the message from Richard to his daughter and son-in-law, "Never make me think of taking my daughter back. You must live happily, both of you." he said in a trembling voice, and it made Christabell's tears well up in the corners of her eyes, as did Adrianna's.
Messages from relatives and other family members are no less touching. Some sound silly, but anyway it all ends with happiness as well as warmth as everyone gathers at a large oval table occupied by all the invited guests around him. All even raised a toast for the bride and groom. The party closed with a dance. Aldric, who never seemed to dance, was quite surprised when he invited his wife, Adrianna, to dance for the first time.
