Setting
Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, Scotland. The grand abbey church is adorned with rich tapestries and floral arrangements for the royal wedding. The high altar is the centerpiece, flanked by rows of wooden pews filled with nobility from both England and Scotland. The stone walls are illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, and the stained glass windows cast colorful patterns on the floor.
