The sound of piano began, and the couple of the day walked to the priest waiting at the front of the pavilion.
Balloons, bright ribbons, flowers, and different ornaments were used to decorate the pavilion. The chairs which the nobles sat on were enveloped with white chair covers. A ribbon was tied around each one.
Tables held drinks, wine, desserts and many delicacies on one side and another set of tables held gifts that nobles brought to congratulate the couple.
It was a simple and perfect wedding. Not too extravagant for the mistress's origin and not demeaning the duke's prestigious status.
Even if the nobles were not satisfied with the union, they were pleased with the wedding.
Once the annalise and Dante reached the front, the music stopped, the nobles sat down and the priest began a small sermon about marriage and then the exchange of vows.
''Are you prepared, as you follow the path of marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live?"
