The Archduke of Lanark's sky-blue eyes glimmered with love as he gazed upon his daughter and her soon-to-be husband. The lantern lights around affected his silver hair, adding a touch of wisdom to his presence.
Clearing his throat, he addressed the select few guests gathered around the table, solemnity and joy intermingling in his voice. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, we have come together on this momentous occasion to witness the union of two souls, bound by love and fate."
Adela's hand delicately intertwined with Egon's beneath the table, both of them kept their attention fixed on the Archduke, awaiting his next words with bated breath.
"Today, we celebrate the marriage of Lady Adelaide, my beloved daughter, and Sir Egon, a man whose strength and devotion have won the hearts of us all."
A murmur of agreement and approval rippled through the small gathering as the Archduke continued, his words imbued with emotion.
