The priest was summoned. Duncan stood erect beside him, arrayed in his finest wedding attire. Boyd, Filib, Tamara, and a few other Sinclairs were in attendance.

Arbella took a long time to arrive, causing Duncan to worry she might have changed her mind. Suddenly the lass appeared at the top step, swathed in a deep purple gown that blended with the multitude of bruises.

Jamus took the lass’s arm and walked with her down the stairs to him. The twins and a few Kincade clansmen stood at the back of the room. Tavis dabbed his eyes as Arbella sent him a heart-stopping smile. Jamus handed her over. “Arbella, yer father would be proud of the woman ye have become.”

Arbella choked with emotion and nodded. Duncan grasped her hand quickly lest she disappear. Surely such loveliness could not be real. His eyes took in the beauty of his bride. Skin was pink and fresh-scrubbed. Only the bruises marred her flesh. The gown gracing her body was one befitting a princess. Rich in color and fabric, the material shimmered in the afternoon light. While Duncan stared upon the lass, the priest began the proceedings.

It was a lovely ceremony using the Book of Common Prayer, the same ceremony that Duncan had been a witness to for Cedric and Sarra. This made the service extra-special. Arbella and Duncan repeated after the priest and swore to stay together until death parted them.

Duncan kissed his bride, swooped her into his arms, and bounded up the stairs two at a time. When the top was reached, he faced the wedding spectators and commented in a humorous tone. “Eat, drink, and be merry. This day my wife,” he stopped and looked down at Arbella, smiling, “and I have some business to attend to.”
