The Second Wife

Rory looked nervous as he stood in front of his neighbors and his friends, his bride was standing near the doors of the town hall, and she was dressed in a brown dress that had white trim that accented her breasts…  It was the same dress that she had had her daughter wear just a little while before the coronation, but was now fitted for her, a much older and changed body than the first time she had worn it on her first wedding day.  Rory's wife of many years, Tabitha, stood near him on the dais, in the role of first wife, and his best non-magi friend stood behind him as best man.  (He had asked Gerald initially, but someone had to officiate the ceremony…) 

Gerald stood, wearing a dark black buckled shirt with a long cape.  (He regretted it wasn't the one Hermina had made him, but that one had been destroyed pretty thoroughly in the battle for the walls)  He liked the feel of the cape, however, and was glad when one of the Druids offered it for the ceremony.
