Chapter Five

She watched as each person of the wedding party left. Each smiling happily. Jessika's bump shown off. That would be her in a few months.

That had to be here. That's why she's doing this. Her family needs her to do this. All the people who depend of her family's money that create jobs for them. The families who depend on the wheat that their lands create, the families who depend on the meats and cheeses that her family owned.

The little kids who would go hungry, who would go without. The mother's who had to split one egg between 5 children because her lands were so poor.

People would be safe again. People wouldn't have fears, and everyone who depended on her family depends on her in this moment.

She has to do it for them, regardless of her own feelings and wants. She took a deep breath and the doors opened, the guests were standing. She began to walk.

Her gown trailed behind her. A soft white color with intricate gold detailing and pearls along the bodice and top of the skirt.

Her long sleeves went to her wrist with the the same detailing of pearls and gold on the ends.

Her veil was longer than her dress, solely for dramatic flair she thought.
And it was attached via her crown.

Her braids held heavy on her loose hair, her crown held even heavier. Her flowers felt too thick in her hands.

She was holding her bouquet so tightly that her knuckles were white. She kept her eyes on the priest. For fear of looking at Ben and seeing his face upset.

Women in the aisle, those unmarried and noble in rank looked at her with disgusted. She knew there had been many young women fighting for him to take their hands. Fathers offering a dowry so large it was enough for 12 noble women's dowry.

Fathers wanted their daughters to marry him, have his heirs, and be the future queen. That way their fathers could be always in favor of lower rank nobles, and they themselves could go up in nobility.

Another reason they wanted their daughters to marry him was due to the fact that it made all her siblings go up in dowry or get more for a dowry a bride could give.

She reached the alter and she could no longer just look at the priest, and had to look at Ben.

His dark eyes with flecks of gold looked in her hazel eyes as if to say "hi".

"Dearly Beloved. We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Prince Benjamin Anakin Skywalker Solo, Duke of Alderaan and Audrey Lillian Morningstar, Viscountess of Antilles in holy matrimony" the priest began. "You May join hands" he said to them.

Ben's impossibly large hands gently held her small hands. She could feel the rough pads on his hands from horse reigns, hunting and more and worried what he though of the small callous from drawing so much.

The priest began mass, as the guests all took their seats and the two kneeled down on the pillows in front of the priests before the alter.

He began mass, everyone reciting the Lord's Prayer, a small hymn was snag by the choir that was to the side. After the couple took holy communion he had them rise.

Hux helped Ben stand up while Rose helped Rey from getting her veil and dress all bunched up and causing her to trip. After gently smoothing out Rey's gown and Rose had gathered the flowers from Jessika the priest began their vows.

"Do you Benjamin Anakin Skywalker Solo, Duke of Alderaan, crowned prince of Naboo take Audrey Lilliana Morningstar, Viscountess of Antilles to be your lawfully wedded wife and take the title of  Viscount of Antilles?" The priest asked, Rey's eyes looked at Ben's forehead, too scared to see his eyes. Worried that perhaps we was faking a smile but glaring at her through his dark orbs.

"I do" Ben said in his deep baritone voice. Rey felt a little relief, now she knew that it was real, she was closer to helping all those who drowned on her lands.

"And do you Audrey Lilliana Morningstar" her eyes went to his eyes. Viscountess of Antilles take Benjamin Anakin Solo-Skywalker, Duke of Alderaan, Crowned prince of Naboo to be your lawfully wedded husband and to take the title of Duchess of Alderaan and Crowned Princess of Naboo" he said.

"I do" she agreed.

"By the power vested in by the Royal Church is the force I know pronounce you Viscount and Viscountess of Antilles, Duke and Duchess of Alderaan,Crowned Prince and Princess of Naboo, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride" he said.

Ben gently grabbed her waist and pulled her in for a soft kiss. His lips brushed against hers every so slightly. It was a shy kiss. The sort of kiss that a child would give their school grade crush.

Maybe it was because they were in front of so many Peoplec one being his mother. Or it could be due to their first kiss being so public.

"May god bless the happy couple !" The priest said as they broke apart, his hand still lingering on her waist.

"May god bless the happy couple !" The crowd said back. They held hands, higher in an upward fashion and smile at the crowd. Rose could see a little relief that it was over on Rey's face. All she had left was the rest of her life. But Rey was one step closer to saving her lands

It was tradition that the newly wed couple would go to the person of highest rank and bow before them. And since his mother was queen, the highest you could beneath god, they walked to where she sat in the front row. They bowed before her and she smiled and nodded at them, giving them her approval. It was official, they were married.
