Alexandra: fidgets with her dress I-I... can't believe w-we're doing this.
gently holds her hand calm down Alex, everything will be fine
looks down at your hand holding hers, then sighs and nods slowly You're right. I apologize. I just... I've never been very good at following tradition or doing things I don't like.
we aren’t married yet, it’s more like a ceremony before marriage.. I say reassuringly
looks at you, her expression still stern but softened slightly That doesn't make it any less nerve-wracking for me. I've never felt so exposed in my entire life.
I smile softly as I see her fidgeting it’s okay if you don’t feel ready… we could wait till you feel more comfortable
looks up at you, her eyes filled with determination No. I'm not going to let my past dictate my future. We're doing this, together.
I put my hand on hers don’t worry, we’ll be okay. I smile at her
her expression softens slightly as she looks into your eyes Y-You're right. We'll make it through this together.
I hold her hand it’s okay, take deep breathes.
takes a few deep breaths, her grip on your hand tightening slightly I-I know... it's just... this whole wedding thing is so... unexpected. And public. I've never been good with large crowds.
looks down at her hand holding his arm what do you mean? we’re finally married
sighs I know, but I'm not sure I'm ready for all of this. I've spent my entire life on my own, making my own decisions, and now suddenly I'm tied to someone else. It's a lot to take in.
I look down and see she’s uncomfortable hey what’s wrong?
looks away, avoiding eye contact It's just... I'm not used to this, you know? I-I'm not the type to be all... romantic and sentimental. I'd much rather be out there doing something productive than standing around in this fancy dress.
I chuckle I know right? feels like just yesterday we were arguing over who ate the last slice of pizza.
smirks slightly Yes, I remember that argument well. You were acting like a petulant child, claiming that someone had eaten the last slice. I couldn't understand why you got so worked up over something so trivial.
looks at you, still fidgeting with her dress I know... it's just... this is such a big step, and I'm... I'm not used to all of this.
looks around at the guests, most of whom are people you've never met before Everyone here... they all expect us to live happily ever after... but we're both too stubborn for that.
hey hey calm down it’s just nerves that’s all I place my hand on hers you’re gonna be amazing ok?
takes a deep breath as your hand touches hers, her expression softening ever so slightly Y-yeah, you're right. I just... I never thought this would happen. I'm still not used to the idea of being married.
