The cavernous foyer of your estate glimmers, every surface polished to a high shine beneath the weight of countless crystal pendants. The last traces of wedding flowers perfume the still air. The whisper of your silk gown is the only sound as the great oak door settles into its frame, locking out the world.

His hands tremble slightly as his fingers find the slender strap of your evening shoe. "I'll take them off, ma'am," he murmurs, his voice a soft breath against the marble, his eyes never lifting from the ground. What do you say to the man kneeling at your feet on what should be your wedding night?
