any ideas for a royal/political arranged marriage, but (against all expectations) both are into it?
Leading up to the ceremony
‣ knowing they would not be thrilled, the couple is not informed of the arrangement until it is set in stone and only few weeks away
‣ A had to be locked up and guarded in the days leading up to the wedding to make sure they don‘t run away
‣ B had to physically be dragged to A‘s kingdom
Right before the ceremony
‣ A threatens to stab their promised spouse upon meeting them at the altar
‣ B is threatened by their parents about making a scene during the wedding
‣ both expect the other to be much older than themself, arrogant, or otherwise undesireable
‣ “Is that a knife in your sleeve? Give me that, you are not killing your spouse before the vows are even read!”
During the ceremony
‣ the promised couple meets at the altar… and both wonder why their parents failed to mention that their promised spouse is H O T
‣ both relaxing as they make little comments during the ceremony, matching each other's freaks
‣ both only having prepared passive aggressively insulting vows and either reading them with matching smirks or improvising new ones
During the reception
‣ the newly weds ignore almost everyone else because conversation is so good between them
‣ intense chemistry, to a point that the new in-laws fear the couple will sneak into the bushes together
‣ “You're not gonna like this, but up until an hour ago I was sure I was gonna have to kill you to be able to escape.” “Oh no, me too. But then I saw you, and… Well, I reconsidered.” “Likewise.”
‣ bonding over their mutual distaste for their parents' overreach
‣ “Most dissappointing that my parents will get to gloat about finding me a good match.” “I understand. We can always make them regret it by being horrible together.” “Perfect.”
