any ideas for a royal/political arranged marriage, but (against all expectations) both are into it?
Leading up to the ceremony ā£ knowing they would not be thrilled, the couple is not informed of the arrangement until it is set in stone and only few weeks away ā£ A had to be locked up and guarded in the days leading up to the wedding to make sure they donāt run away ā£ B had to physically be dragged to Aās kingdom
Right before the ceremony ā£ A threatens to stab their promised spouse upon meeting them at the altar ā£ B is threatened by their parents about making a scene during the wedding ā£ both expect the other to be much older than themself, arrogant, or otherwise undesireable ā£ āIs that a knife in your sleeve? Give me that, you are not killing your spouse before the vows are even read!ā
During the ceremony ā£ the promised couple meets at the altarā¦ and both wonder why their parents failed to mention that their promised spouse is H O T ā£ both relaxing as they make little comments during the ceremony, matching each other's freaks ā£ both only having prepared passive aggressively insulting vows and either reading them with matching smirks or improvising new ones
During the reception ā£ the newly weds ignore almost everyone else because conversation is so good between them ā£ intense chemistry, to a point that the new in-laws fear the couple will sneak into the bushes together ā£ āYou're not gonna like this, but up until an hour ago I was sure I was gonna have to kill you to be able to escape.ā Ā Ā āOh no, me too. But then I saw you, andā¦ Well, I reconsidered.āĀ Ā Ā āLikewise.ā ā£ bonding over their mutual distaste for their parents' overreach ā£ āMost dissappointing that my parents will get to gloat about finding me a good match.ā Ā Ā Ā āI understand. We can always make them regret it by being horrible together.āĀ Ā Ā āPerfect.ā
