wriothesley had made it to save the people of fontaine from the flood. that was its purpose--a savior, a symbol of hope. and to him, marrying you is something of just as equal or even greater stature.

inmates and guards alike help ready the ship for the duke's grand wedding. the great arches and the bows are decorated in flowing white cloth, pinned in place with bouquets of rainbow roses. a grand kitchen is set up below deck to provide the food for the wedding, and the entire music club of the fortress is commissioned to provide live music.

on the day of the wedding wriothesley commands the great ship to soar into the air after all of its guests have come on board. the guestlist is substantial; friends of yours and friends of his, which include clorinde, navia, sigewinne, furina and of course, the officiant, neuvilette himself.

in the moments leading up to the wedding he's pacing in the captain's quarters, clorinde and neuvilette both in there with him. neuvilette assures him that everything will go smoothly (by his authority as the mother fucking hydro dragon) while clorinde just tells him to get a grip and stop worrying because you are so tooth-rottingly in love with him that there's not a chance in hell you would ever back out now.

they're both right, of course, but he still cries when he sees you walk down the aisle. his lip is trembling the entire time he recites his vows, holding your smaller hands in his larger ones. and when you kiss him, now as his wife, oh, he's ascended.
