He had carefully made the arrangements for a quiet wedding.
He wasn’t at all sure how their families would take it. For that reason, he didn’t invite them. None of their friends had received invitations either. It would be a private affair. It would be just the two of them at the registry office, way out in the countryside. Just them, their very own special day. He was finding it more and more difficult to suppress his building excitement.

The occasion’s pomp would be brought to it by their splendid appearance. No expense was spared. She simply deserved the best.

Bringing her back from the dead was definitely the right thing.
