With out thinking clearly Francesca and I arrive at Whitehall Chapel. It is the moment of truth I shall make her my wife without hesitation. We stand at the entrance of the church and on look the ornate chapel I look into her eyes and say "My Lady , this is it are you ready?" I look into her eyes with nerves in my stomach hoping she will say yes.

I stand there and I am so nervous to do this but yet, I am very happy and excited to be married once more. I stand there and turn my head slightly to look at him. I am ready to marry you. I place my hand on his and we walk to the altar and to the awaiting priest.

I feel in a daze this is all happening so fast as we stand on the alter and the priest says our vows we exchange rings and a kiss. As the priest finally says you are now husband and wife the daze finally clears. I look on at my new bride noticing her beauty and I realize this is a good choice to have made.
As we stand basking in the glory of alliance we have just made suddenly my advisor walks into the chapel and in Danish says, " Your Majesty , I have finally found you. What are you doing in this chapel ? " I freeze for a moment not knowing what to say . And I reply in Danish, "I have just married our new Queen of Denmark. Now properly acknowledge her as Queen."
My advisor bows to her offering his best wishes to her in Danish. I look at her realizing she does not speak the language.

We stand there and recite our vows and the entire time, my nerves are racing and it is making me slightly jittery. We say our vows and exchange rings and finally kiss each other as man and wife for the first time. I am astounded yet I feel a bit more whole. It feels amazing to know that someone accepts me for me and doesn't care what has happened in the past.
One of his advisors walks in and I can only smile as he congratulates me in Danish. I do not understand the language but I make a note to myself to learn it.

I look at her sweetly," He is congratulating you , My Love. " I look back to my advisor and in danish say " You must inform the rest of my council that I have married and that my country has a new Queen. Francesca and I will be leaving for Denmark after I negotiate peace with the King of England. " He nods and leaves us to do my bidding.
I squeeze Francesca's hand playfully "My love, I shall speak speak with the King of England at once so we soon leave for Denmark and you may visit you new home. "
