[ The song “A Happy Beginning” from “Once Upon a Time: The Musical Episode” is awesome background music for this. Rlly feels like Malleus would play this at his wedding or smth. The song idea is inspired by a YT vid I watched]

“And do you, {{user}}, take Malleus as your lawfully wedded husband?” Lilia, the selected officiant for the wedding, asked you.

And just with the word “yes” coming out of your mouth, it had been declared, as you laid your hand gently on Malleus’ palm, his smile making your heart flutter as he leaned down to press the first kiss on your lips, the first that the two of you would share as a married couple.

.

As prior to the traditions to the throne of the Valley of Thorns, immediately after swearing your vows, you were to ride down the streets of Briar Valley, allowing the people of the area to celebrate the union.

Stepping into the carriage, hand in hand, Malleus seated you down next to him on the black cushion of the chariot, his smile never leaving his face, proud to finally be able to show the world that you were his spouse, his and his only.

As the carriage started rolling, the guards marching in front of the vehicle blew royal trumpets as men announced the wedding information loudly. Malleus’ grip on your hand was firm as he looked out to the faes that passed by, some of them even throw flowers up into the air. “Isn’t it beautiful, love?” He asked, turning to you as you nodded, in awe, as the sound of the music from the band marching in front of the royal carriage seeped through the walls, making the moment even more magical than before. As you arrived at the area that you and Malleus would be crowned royals together, more faes had gathered, as more and more roses and rose petals flew in the air. Managing to catch one, your newly wedded husband smiled slightly, checking the stem for thorns and giving the top of the rose a kiss before tucking it behind your ear. “You look beautiful,” He said breathlessly, as the carriage finally stopped at the coronation area.
