Sorry for the wait you guys. Prepping for the holiday kept me busy.

When the applause ended after the couple shared their first kiss as a married couple the officiant looked up to address the whole church as well as those watching at home.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I now invite Fairy Godmother up to the alter to proceed with the coronation of the next Queen of Auradon." As the officiant stepped aside he led Ben with him, instructing the young King to sit on his throne where he was expected to watch this event until it was time for the two of them to stand together for a blessing. Fairy Godmother stood in front of Mal, wand in hand and even she had to admit that the woman standing before her was not the same girl who came from the Isle, hell bent on ruling everything.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon and the Isle with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?" Mal nodded her head softly, "I do solemnly swear." Fairy Godmother motioned for Belle to come close to her and she gently bowed her head to allow her ceremonial crown to be removed from her own head. Belle caught Mal's gaze and winked at her, causing the young woman to smile as she waited for the crown to be placed on her head. Fairy Godmother held the crown high above her head.

"This crown served as a symbol of power, peace and unification for our land for the last 2 decades. In that time, we as a nation have been changed profoundly and yet the crown remains ever the same. A symbol of unchanging dignity, grace and strength, let whoever shall wear this crown acknowledge that while the weight of this gold is heavy, it is only worn by those strong enough to stand tall when wearing it." Fairy Godmother then instructed Mal to kneel before her and gently placed the crown on her head and they were not kidding…that thing was heavy. As Mal stood she gently turned around to face the crowd of people in the church.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you today for the first time, Her Majesty, Queen Mal, ruler of Auradon and the Isle. Long may she reign." The crowd responded in kind and then applauded and cheered for Mal. Mal felt like she was exposed as she stood there with a huge grin on her face, but she was soon joined by Ben at her side. He too was wearing his crown and her gently took her hand.

Fairy Godmother stood in front of the couple, beaming as she took note that they both looked very grown up as they stood before her.

"Your Majesties, as you go forward together as King and Queen, husband and wife, may you shoulder the responsibility to all your people with humility and grace. May you work tirelessly in bringing a forgotten piece of this kingdom back into the fold and raising those who live there up so that they too might enjoy the blessings of a long and fulfilling life. May your reign be long and peaceful and may your marriage be blessed with the same. May you find strength for the coming years in each other and may all generations that come after you know that true leaders bring nations together with the ultimate goal of peace." Turning briefly to those gathered in the church, Fairy Godmother addressed them, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Lords and Ladies, I present to you for the first time, King Benjamin and Queen Mal. Long may they reign!"

"Long may they reign!" The words echoed throughout the church and was followed by cheers from all those in attendance and the roar could be heard from outside. Ben took Mal's hand and began to process out of the church, knowing they would need to stop for photos at the doors of the church and taking into consideration that they must walk slower with the crowns on their heads. As they made their way to the doors, Ben told the guards to wait.

"You ready for this? Cuz once they open these doors, it all changes for us."

Mal took a breath and looked at Ben, "things have already changed for us in case you haven't noticed this crown on my head." Ben smiled and Mal clinched his hand a little tighter. "You'll be with me right?"

"Till the death." Mal smiled, "easy there buddy, no death today, but I appreciate the sentiment. Then yes, I am ready." Without breaking her eye contact with Ben, Mal shouted behind her, "David?"

"Your Majesty?"

"We're ready, open the doors."

"Yes your majesty." David clicked into his walkie talkie, "fly the dragon, fly the wolf." This signaled the team outside to throw the doors of the church open, revealing the new couple and newly crowned Queen. The roar of the crowd was somehow louder the longer the couple stood there. Photos were taken of the newly formed royal family, a few of the wedding party, knowing that more would be taken at the party. Those in charge of guarding the crown jewels took the crowns from the new King and Queen and escorted to them to the vault they were stored for security reasons. Mal and Ben waved to the crowd as they walked down the steps to the carriage and before they climbed up they turned to every single angle to thank well-wishers. Ben helped Mal up into the carriage before getting in himself. They both knew that while they waved and smiled, they should save their strength because their reception would likely steal the rest of their energy, but they both couldn't help but look forward to celebrating their brand new marriage.

Reception will be next, let me know if you want to see anything in particular.
