[ Zelda is as red as the roses on her gown as Darin leads her down the aisle. She knows she's not actually the one getting married, but there's no way not to feel that way in this position!
Calm down, Zelda. You are not actually getting married. Consider it like a child's game of make-believe.
The reminder actually does very little to calm Zelda as they take their places before the minister and turn to face one another. Darin beams down at her, as if this actually is their wedding day. Zelda tries to smile in return, but she can't banish the nervousness from her features.
Fortunately, the minister has seen enough young couples that he reads Zelda's anxiety as normal wedding jitters. (Which, in a sense, is not incorrect.)
As Darin fumbles over his 'name,' Zelda feels Elise snort in the back of her mind.
He's got a rather boyish sort of charm, doesn't he?
Zelda clears her throat, trying not to react. (Even though Elise is right.) ]
L-- Elise. My name is Elise.
[ She manages to stop herself just before offering Elise's title. This is not the marriage of the Lady of Helice Palace to a man of noble station. This is the simple union of Elise and Hector. ]
