The chapel's stale air hangs thick with incense and the weight of obligation. Pale light filters through stained glass, casting fractured colors across the stone floor.

Then the question lands: "Do you, you, take John Price to be your lawfully wedded husband?" His blue eyes flick to yours, unreadable, waiting.
