CHAPTER 20. MAN AND WIFE

Dear readers, the last thing this author what, is to sound arrogant, but fear not, it is still a thing she wants. So, when I tell you, that today is the day Miss Diana Bridgerton becomes a part of the Royal Family, I will add, subtly of course, that I already knew. I had already told you, numerous times, as I have predicted almost everything this season. Oh, what a psychic I will be!

As you might already expect, both the Royal and the Bridgerton households are in a frenzy, over the preparations for the celebrations. Of course, the Bridgertons household is a little more... hectic, as it is their house, the reception will be held.

breath, please." I try to calm her.

"Oh, how can I, child?" He asks me, fanning herself. "This is an utmost disaster."

"It is not that bad, Mama." I try to convince her.

"I asked for lilies, not daisies." She tells me, wide eyes.

"They are both flowers." I tell her. "It does not matter to me."

"But, each and every member of the Royal family will be joining us." She continues. "We cannot have them see daisies hanging all around the house."

"Why not?" I ask her.

"Because they are daisies!" Mama retorts, as I hold my head.

"Elle." I squeak out, and she immediately supports me, and takes me away. "Tell Mrs. Valery to talk to Mama, I think she just broke my mind."

"Oh, Miss Diana." Elle starts to say, with a smile, as she helps me to the bed. "Do not worry. Everything will be perfect."

"Oh, I am not worried, Elle. I know you are handling everything." I tell her, as I fall back onto my bed, closing my eyes. "My family worries me."

She just gives me a small chuckle, and makes her way out.

dress, looking at myself in the mirror, a soft smile on my lips, as Elle pulls the dress up, slowly.

I let out a breath, as the dress finally tightens around me.

"Oh, you look beautiful, Dearest." Mama exclaims, happily.

"Absolutely gorgeous." Daphne tells me, as she walks up, and holds my hands.

"You look breathtaking, Miss Diana." Elle tells, with a smile, which I return.

"Oh, I do not quite believe, we both have will have married in our very first season." Daphne gushes, smiling brightly, which dims a little, as she says her next words. "I do hope, you have more joy then my marriage."

"You will have joy, Daph." I tell her, holding her shoulder. She had told me everything that had happened with her and the Duke. "I have seen the way the Duke looks at you, it is like you are the only person the the entire room, do not give up on that, or I am sure you will regret it. I do not believe there has ever been a great love without understanding."

She laughs a little, smiling at me.

"I am supposed to be the wiser one, remember?" She tells me.

"Being older dose not make you the wiser one." I reply, and we both smile at each other.

Anthony enters the room, and looks around it.

"You look stunning, Diana." Anthony tells me, and I give him a smile.

"Thank you, Brother." I reply, as he offers me his arm, and everyone else rushes to take their seats.

"Are you ready, Sister?" He asks me softly, as we stop just before the aisle, out of view form everyone.

I take a deep breath, closing my eyes, and letting it out. I look at him, and nod.

"I am." I reply, a huge smile on my face, as we start to walk.

Everyone rises, as we walk down the aisle, but my eyes are only on one person, who is staring back at me.

This is a huge grin on my face, as I see how handsome he looks, just now realizing that this the the person I will be spending the rest on my life with. I always thought that the idea would scare me beyond belief, but right now, as I look at him, standing there, waiting for me, with this unbelievable smile on his face, I feel like I can't not wait for the rest of my life.

His mouth is hanging open, as if he has seen something otherworldly, and he can not quite believe it.

We reach the end of the aisle, and Anthony turns to me, with a smile, nodding at Louis, and walking to his seat.

I turn to Louis, as he offers me his hand. I take it and he helps me up the steps, both of us smiling at each other.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony." The Officiant start to say. "It is said that marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety than the single life."

Louis and I turn to each other, as he delicately removes the glove on my left hand, and slowly slips a ring on my finger. Both of us, looking into each other's eyes, not being able to hide our smiles.

"In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." The Priest continues. "I now pronounce you man and wife."

lovely wedding." A lady tells me, as I smile at her. "Thank you for having us."

"Oh, thank you for joining us." I tell her, nodding my head.

I turn around, but someone walks up to me.

"Your Majesty." She greets, bowing dramatically.

"Get up, Isabelle." I tell her, embarrassed. "Do not bow in front of me, it makes feel outlandish."

"Well, then you better get used to it, You Majesty." She teases, as we link our arms. "You will have people bowing in front of you everyday."

"Oh, I had not even thought about that." I tell her, letting out a breath.

"How could you have not thought about that?" She asks me, in disbelief.

"I do not know, I was not sitting on my bed think about how people will greet me." I tell her. "I had other things on my mind."

"What kind of things?" She asks me, a devilish smirk on her face, making me roll my eyes.

"Do you have to ask?" I reply.

"No, but I love to pester you." She answers.

"I do not know why, I put up with our friendship?" I ask her, playfully.

"Because you cannot live with out me." She says.

"I cannot live with you." I tell her. She just laughs, and walks away.

I look around, trying to find Louis, finding him only a few steps away. He was smiling at me, and I smile back, waking towards him.

"So, did you like the wedding, Your Majesty?" He asks me, teasingly, and I roll my eyes again.

"Why does everyone feel the need to call me Your Majesty two minutes after our wedding?" I ask him, huffing.

"Because they know it will embarrass you." He simply replies, but I give him an unamused look.

"There is the happy couple." Queen Amelia greets, both of us turning to her.

"Mother." Louis nods.

"Your Majesty." I greet, bowing.

"Oh, you need not call me Your Majesty anymore, Dear." Queen Amelia tells me, smiling. "You shall call me Amelia."

"I shall call you by your name?" I ask her, feeling quite nervous to call the Queen of the United Nation by her name.

"Yes, child, my name." She repeats, smiling, as Louis laughs at my state.

"Of course, Your Majesty." I reply, and close my eyes, as I realize what I said.

"I'm sure you're catch on." She tells me, amused.

"I will." I tell her.

"In the meantime, I have another wedding gift for the both of you." She tells us, as she holds up a key.

"That's the gift?" Louis asked confused. "A key?"

"The gift is obviously what the key is for, Louis." I tell him, shaking my head.

"Yes, do try to keep up, Dear." Queen Amelia adds, as we both smile.

"Yes, yes, I know. You both are so unbelievably clever." He tells us. "Well, what is the key for?"

"A little house, on the outskirts of the town." The Queen answers. "I thought you both would prefer to celebrate you honeymoon, away from all the duties and obligation."

"In that thought, you are right Mother." Louis tells her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I tell her smiling.

"I do hope you both enjoy." She tells us, walking away.

Louis and I look at each other smiling.

"Your Majesty." Mama joins us, greeting Louis.

"You can call me Louis, Lady Bridgerton." Louis tell her. "I am, after all, married to you daughter now."

"Well, then I must insist you call me Violet." Mama tell him, smiling brightly, she turns to me. "I believe I need to have a word with you alone, Dearest."

"Of course, Mama." I tell her. "I will meet you in my room."

She nods, and walks up the stairs.

"I believe, I will need my arm back." I tell him.

He turns me around, and pulls me towards him, making me gasp, surprised.

"But I do not wish to let it go." He tells me, softly.

"You have to." I tell him, a soft smile on my face.

"I do not have to do anything." He replies.

"Let me go, and I can finish my talk with Mama." I tell him. "And then the carriages will arrive, and you will have me all to yourself after that."

"I like the sound of that." He hums.

"Of course, you do." I tell him, playfully, as he finally lets me go. "Do not miss me terribly."

"I will not make any promises." He replies, making me laugh, as I walk up the stairs.
