Of course it's awkward. For one thing Billy had also been put in robes and he didn't really know how to move around in them. For another, his family wasn't here for this ceremony, save for his twin who was clearly held back from complaining by some other force. And, of course, there was the fact that neither of them had been fully down for this. But...

But the redeeming grace had been that first meeting and the few meetings in between. The saving thing had been that over time he'd grown fond of his betrothed. The simple fact was that the only reason he was fidgeting and looking uncomfortable and all of that was because, well... they were married now.

"You know, no one will know if we, uh... don't?"

Not that he didn't want to. It was just, well, how would anyone know? And Billy? Actually a blushing virgin. His skin was almost crimson right now in the nervousness of this.
