A maid brought in a warm bowl of restorative broth. Estelle urged Sylvia to have some; even with her stamina, it was going to be an exhausting day.
Magdalen sat beside her, eyes full of awe. "Sylvia, you look incredibly beautiful."
Sylvia took a sip of the broth and let out a soft breath. "Honestly, I'm pretty nervous."
"Nervous about what?" Magdalen beamed. "It's not like the groom is going to run away. Just looking at you made him forget how to walk!"
Sylvia offered a graceful smile. "I'm more worried about forgetting how to walk when I see him."
"Even if you do, we completely understand!" Magdalen laughed.
After all, the man was Gabriel Carnes.
Amidst the laughter, Sylvia began changing her outfit and touching up her makeup, waiting for the designated hour.
The ceremony was set for exactly ten-ten. The grand hall of the Jarvis estate was steeped in rich, vintage elegance. Elaborate woodwork and deep crimson decorations set a majestic tone. A massive, stylized symbol of double happiness adorned the center wall. Old Mr. Jarvis, dressed in a crimson formal dinner jacket, sat at the head of the room alongside Old Mr. Quintin, looking vibrant and sharp.
The ceremonial attire Estelle had designed for Sylvia was a magnificent vintage-inspired bridal gown with an intricate beaded veil.
As the time approached, Gabriel walked in slowly, holding Sylvia's hand. He wore a dark, custom-tailored suit with subtle gold embroidery.
Sylvia looked breathtaking in the elaborate crimson gown, her dark hair pinned up beneath a gorgeous headpiece. Her eyes were as bright as the moon.
The moment they appeared, the bustling hall fell silent. The guests watched with solemn respect, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
An esteemed elder of the Jarvis family served as the officiant. He looked warmly at the couple.
"It is an honor to stand here today. Thank you all for joining us to witness the most important moment in their lives."
"The hour has arrived. Let the ceremony begin."
"First, a bow to honor the union, a destiny written in the stars!"
