Despite their initial reservations, the board had come to a decision.
It didn't take long before marriage preparations began. Contracts were drafted and reviewed by the legal department. Nothing was announced or clarified.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a small chapel near the Rochefort Estate was reserved to hold the ceremony. The booking was set as private. No guest list was filed beyond what was required. The wind blew the while lace curtains at the window of the bridal room where Arianne was waiting.
Behind her, Aunt Estella was doing the final touches on Arianne's wedding veil with careful hands. Gio stood near the doorway, checking his watch more often than necessary.
The wedding dress was simple, borrowed from Samantha, while the white lace veil had been purchased the day before, and Franz bought the wedding rings at the last minute after getting Arianne's ring size.
