~~Quinn's PoV~~
Though Carter insisted he wanted to have our ceremony 'as soon as possible', it turned out the soonest possible date was nearly three months away. He groaned and grumbled about it, but there were invitations to be sent out and dresses to be designed, seating charts to make and dignitaries to appease. It wasn't simply a matter of the two of us standing up and declaring our intentions; this was something that the whole empire wanted to feel a part of.
I calmed him down by reminding him that it made no real difference to our lives anyway. Rosie and I were moving in with him and I was taking on my new position within the palace as the regent's mate. The ceremony, while it would be wonderful, was merely a formality. For all intents and purposes, we were already fully mated.
