The lecturing had certainly lasted longer than what she thought they had in them. Andromeda held back and watched more out of curiosity while she caught Narcissa giggling a few times at some of the snide comments Bellatrix lobbed at her Mother. Druella paid her no attention and simply kept powering through the speeches of how she could ruin their perfect union or that maybe Rodolphus wouldn't want to marry her now that he had the goods for free.
Bella knew better.
Them being together before their wedding was the best thing that could have ever happened to the pair. If it was awkward and forced they would have struggled majorly. They had taken their time and actually got to know eachother and with that, their dark little secrets together. It made them what they were and that she was more than smug about.
The dress fit like a glove and with her dark hair artfully curled into a graceful updo she looked nothing like the girl she usually did. The red lips and lack of eyeliner helped as well.
Then before she knew it her arm was looped with her Father's and she was staring at a near gaping Rodolphus Lestrange. If he wanted to rip last nights dress off of her she could only imagine what sort of fun they could get into with this one. A slow smile spread across her lips as she watched him carefully before they went through with the ceremony.
With this hand I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.
