Seeing the girl say this, Edward knew that she was no longer nervous.

It's a mesmerizing feeling to sit in a carriage and feel yourself surrounded by cheers.

"Edward, can I leave the curtains open?" Mary, who was on the side, was obviously also intoxicated by the cheers, and her little hand touched lightly and asked.

Edward turned his head to look at the girl's pure and curious eyes, shook his head slightly, and explained:

"There are all kinds of people on the road now, and they are all gathered on the side of the road, and if the curtains are lifted, I think it will be a little dangerous!"

"You mean, there are assassins!" Mary is not stupid either, blurting out.

"Yes, after all, the union of England and Scotland is something that many cannot bear!"

Edward said, smiling.

What you can't bear is exactly what I should do.

Outside the carriage, a thin man, with his looking head, stared closely at the slow-moving carriage, his mouth followed the sound of the crowd from time to time, and then he shouted a word, and his eyes never took his eyes off.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had been hit, and for the sake of planning, he suppressed his violent temper, and still stared at the carriage closely, looking for an opportunity.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp grip on his neck, and he knew that as long as he moved casually, a big wound would immediately appear on his neck, and death was just around the corner.

"Shut up, don't try to resist, follow me!" Just as he opened his mouth and was about to speak, a sentence suddenly came from behind him.

In this regard, he could only follow the man's drag, slowly leaving his position at this time, stepping back step by step, and then being tied up, with a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth.

At the same time, many people were suddenly caught and tied up in the crowd around the carriage or in the buildings next to the road.

Soon after, the carriage stopped in front of Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey, which has been the place where royal weddings took place, has been around for hundreds of years and has now become a common practice.

In front of the church, the Scottish and English aristocrats were all dressed in their own costumes, all of them looking radiant and smiling.

And those noble ladies who followed, it was different.

They have long flowing hair and flower crowns, which represent chastity, and each of them dresses himself up beautifully, and welcomes the festive moment in the best condition.

Of course, even the king's wedding has become a place for these ladies and ladies to compete with each other, attracting the attention of the nobles who watch the ceremony.

As His Majesty's carriage stopped, all the nobles saluted.

The male aristocracy bent over and stroked their chests, while the women lifted their skirts and bent over, and everything was so orderly.

"Your Majesty—" the nobles said in unison.

Edward and Mary took one look at it, then paced slowly into the cathedral.

And right next to the altar, the aged Archbishop of Canterbury was watching the arrival of the royal couple with a look of relief on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were huddled together.

His Excellency the Archbishop, wearing a sash and white vestments, presided over the Mass for his marriage. whereas

The vestments worn by the clergy are exquisite, and white represents purity and purity.

Edward and Mary, holding flowers in their hands, walked to the altar step by step.

Stepping on the smooth floor, Yu Guang saw the smiling dignitaries and nobles, and at this moment, Edward's heart suddenly became a little nervous.

If nothing else, it was the only marriage in his life, and the first time always came so suddenly, and his heart suddenly beat faster.

Then, he turned his head to see that the girl next to him was tense and pursed her lips, extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Edward's mood suddenly relaxed, a woman is about to entrust her life to you, at this moment, you can't be nervous.

As for why the bride holds white flowers, it is also an English tradition.

In England, because most people get married in June, because they take their annual bath in May.

By June, the smell was not unpleasant, but because it already smelled, the bride held a bouquet of flowers to cover it.

It has been inherited to this day.

Edward smiled and nodded to His Excellency the Archbishop, who had been waiting for a long time, in thanks.

Then Edward and Mary stood in front of him, bowed their heads, and immediately their heads were covered with a white veil (and if they had children, they would also be clothed with white veils), and in an instant the voice of the archbishop sounded in their ears, which was Mass.

At this moment, hundreds of noble and high-ranking officials stood silently under the stage, listening to the Mass of His Excellency the Archbishop.

Halfway through Mass, it's time for the exchange of rings.

"Your Majesty, would you like to marry this beautiful girl? Whether you are poor or rich, you will never give up! The old voice of the Archbishop of Canterbury rang in Edward's ears.

Without hesitation, Edward immediately replied, "Of course, I do. ”

"Your Majesty, will you marry this young man? Whether you are poor or rich, you will never give up? ”

"Of course, I do!" Her Majesty didn't think about it, and then glanced at Edward shyly.

His Excellency the Archbishop then blesses them both in Latin: "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I confirm that your marriage is established!" Amen! ”

After that, a servant brought the ring that had been prepared a long time ago.

Edward took off the ring from his front and placed it on Mary's ring finger, as did Mary.

The ring is worn on the finger, and there is a theory that it is because the blood vessels in the finger go straight to the heart, which indicates that the hearts of both parties agree to the marriage.

Later, Edward and the others shared the same consecrated sacrament bread and drank the same consecrated glass of wine, indicating that they were one in Christ.

Later, Edward accompanied Mary to the altar of the Virgin Mary, where Mary would pick up a hand-spun rod and spin thread for a while, which was also a symbol of his wife's status.

After that, Edward and the two did not appear in the kissing scene on television, which was not allowed during this ceremony.

After that, when the two walked out of the church, there were noblewomen who had been arranged long ago, carrying baskets of wheat grains dyed in various colors, and blessed them.

It's also a tradition.

In 1491, King Henry VII of England traveled to Bristol with his queen. During the journey, they were seen by a baker's wife, who sprinkled wheat grains at them through the window and shouted, "Welcome, Your Majesty! I wish you all happiness and a long and long life. “

This became a good story, and by the 16th century, the custom was widespread.

In the 21st century, it has become confetti.

These are just the main parts of the royal family's wedding.

All in all, the king's wedding was extremely complicated, there were many procedures, and every ritual had its origins and traditions, and Edward was just a marionette at this time.
