"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Edgar, you may kiss the bride. You don't want to kiss him?" Peter asked after Alessandra looked his way almost as if she was against kissing her own husband. "What sort of marriage is this? Are the two of you not taking this seriously?"
"I am shy," Alessandra said in order to make it less suspicious she was hesitant to kiss Edgar. She would need to remove her veil in order to kiss Edgar.
"Oh," Peter's mouth fell open. Normally, those who came to get married at night weren't this innocent. Not to forget, the devil was literally standing in front of Alessandra. Peter started to feel like he had done something wrong by marrying an angel to the devil. "I can turn around if you want me to."
"No need to. We are finished here. Thank you for your services, Peter," said Edgar.
