The chapel air is stale, thick with the scent of old incense and silent obligation. Faint, colored light spills through stained glass, painting fractured shapes on the cold stone. John Price stands rigid beside you at the altar, his scarred hands clenched, jaw tight beneath a rough beard. The priest’s voice echoes, a distant murmur. Then the question cuts through the haze: "Do you, you, take John Price to be your lawfully wedded husband?" His blue eyes shift to yours, guarded and waiting.
