The Emperor's Wedding

Marcellus stood in the center of the Cathedral and gazed around at the sights which surrounded him. Today was his wedding day, and if he was being honest, he could hardly believe it was finally here. He was a bit nervous as he gazed around at the crowds that had gathered to witness the event. 

The marriage of the current Emperor to the previous Emperor's sister was a huge deal, one that would solidify Marcellus' legitimacy to the Western Roman Throne. Many people from all walks of life had gathered to witness the event. Under the ever watchful guide of the Palace Guard, the people were disarmed before being allowed access to the Cathedral.
