he held her tight his arms around her waist as he shifted the pain off of his bad leg which was aching badly and he slipped the ring onto her finger blue stones the color of her eyes glistening and shining brightly, happily.  He kissed her then a true and proper kiss that could not be frowned upon since they were to be wed.  His hands slid up her cheeks and his fingers tangles a little in her hair kissing her with all the passion and desire and love and loss that he had felt in recent weeks a cheer went up from the crowd and several of the gathering began to make cat calls at them which made him smile and laugh a bit as he pulled back.  "Josephine I love you more than life itself...I hope you realize this."<br/><br/>The man who had stopped the king once and for all was beaming near them and asked, "does this mean there will be a special license?" he asked, "Will you petition the church for a quick nuptial ceremony?"<br/><br/>Raoul looked back at Josephine and stared into her eyes for a moment.  As much as he wanted to say yes he did not instead he turned back to Dominic, "As much as i would love to wed Josephine this moment on this scaffold which was meant for such sorrowful things there are other matters which much be attended to first.  There will be too much to do in these early days to have a wedding as well we will wait the month or so for the bans to me read.  Maybe by then we can have a ceremony without having to worry about too many other things...For now thought I think the Queen should rest as should her family we have had a trying day already  by mid afternoon the court will be open to address any issues that need to be worked upon." this seemed to satisfy the people because they nodded obediently and turned to leave Raoul wrapped his arm around Josephine and started to lead her back inside pretending his leg did not hurt him as badly as it did.
