Edmund was not expecting for Charles to just let him decide. Yet he was concius this was not the best time to be having this conversation.
He noticed him struggle to answer. He didnt blame him. He was too nervous and unsure of all of this. Yet he followed what was expected and needed of him and slid a gold ring on Charles' finger once he said 'yes'
"By the power invested in me. I pronounce you man and wife. You May kiss the bride nos Lord Radford" said the priest.
Edmund flushed red. He barely knew the man before him and their first kiss ever would be seen by a church full of family and friends. Gently he moved the veil and saw his bride clearly for the first time. "can I?" he asked in a whisper. It felt like the proper thing to do. To at least ask Charles if he was okay with a kiss like that. He might be a stranger but now he had to protect him and for Edmund that also meant to respect him, even in the smallest things.
