(
It's a beautiful night, Gilbert's looking for something dumb to do~ )
As he walked in, she couldn't help but feel something unpleasant flip in her stomach. She chalked it off as it being annoyed (despite what she said) to be his training bride, and even more annoyed that she was feeling very uncomfortable and he was only calling her 'alright'.
And the real bride could have him. She wouldn't mind.
At all.
"Sir? I'm just going to ask this again, but... are you sure this is a good idea?" She looked up through her bangs at him, biting her lip. What the hell was this feeling?

Beaming at her because even at this point she had no idea what was going on, Gilbert tugged her from the room, cane echoing through the hallway as he dragged her towards the ballroom and the awaiting cleric. And hopefully Francis and Antonio if the two men had recovered from the bachelor party last night.
"And besides, it not like anything bad'll happen," he said, stopped in front of the double door, and ROMANTICALLY taking her hands in his. "Come on Liz, it'll be fiiine."

And so the double doors opened to reveal a wonderfully white pathway to the altar where a priest stood, looking all professional. They had really done everything full out, even for just a practice, she noticed. Unintentionally starting to walk as the Wedding March started, she blinked at the rose petals scattered everywhere.
Thank god there was not a chance that she was getting married in a sort of situation like this. Looking at Gilbert, she laughed slightly.
"Hey, shouldn't you be less excited? I'm only the fake-wife, right?" She whispered, teasing.

This was actually happening.
He was getting married. To a servant. Whom he loved- adored- and kinda hated whenever she chased him with a frying pan, but she was his... Going to be his at least.
"I'm just imagining how she's gonna look in that dress." Gilbert said once they were at the alter, reaching over and gently tugging the veil away from her face, whistling. "You clean up good Liz."

And it wasn't even meant for her, anyways. This was all meant for the other woman.
"Yeah, well, thanks." Her mood was steadily taking a dive for the worse as the preacher started to speak. Finally, just as she rehearsed, she looked up into his eyes, tried to stop her cheeks from flushing, and spoke,
"I do." And for a second, she believed she did too.

The preacher told him to kiss the bride and he clumsily pulled the veil from her face, prodding her nose before kissing it, grinning. A few of his servant threw rice into the air as he dragged her out of the smalll hall, insteead finding an abandoned hallway with a small loveseat, sitting her down on it.
"So." He said, as casually as possible, relaxing back into the velvet cushions. "Guess we're married~"

Sighing, she pulled off her veil and in the process, took a glance at her 'ring'. It wasn't that bad, to be exact. The whole ceremony, despite the extravagance, had actually been kind of nice. There was no helping it, any girl would've been happy at this whole shebang.
"I wonder if I'll be able to be this pampered when I actually get married," she laughed. Tilting her head, she looked up at Gilbert. "Your real bride is pretty lucky, sir."

He took her hands, squeezing them tightly. "We're together- for real."
