The engagement ceremony was held on the morning of a bright sunny day at the Lindsley estate Ceremonial Hall. Beautiful white wild roses are arranged glamorously amongst the foyer contrasting its dark green wallpaper, the usually bleak atmosphere is now replaced with the chaotic movement of maids and servants scattering about arranging the drinks and appetizers. Baroness Lindsey could be heard finalizing all the preparation for the incoming guest, while the Baron confirmed the amount of the dowry with his aid.
Upstairs in her room, Octavia sits in front of her dressing table surrounded by her maids. Some delicately groom and curl her hair, while others assist their lady with her white dress with pink petals embroidery and makeup. When the preparation was done, Via proceeded to go to the Foyer to accompany her parents to the reception of the guests. In contrast to the usual look of a low neckline empire dress, Baroness Lindsey has prepared a more appropriate attire for this occasion, with a high collar vest covering her decollete and long sleeves that reach her wrist, emphasizing the bride’s attempt to fit into the ‘new’ family.
When the Aldridge family finally arrives, the Baron swiftly greets the Marquis and the Marchioness attentively, “Welcome to Lindsley’s Estate, Marquis and Marchioness Aldridge. I hope your travel here is comfortable.” After greeting the Aldridge family promptly, he gestures towards the Baroness, “This is my wife the Baroness, Harriet Lindsley.” Harriet gave a Cursey before greeting them “It’s a pleasure to meet you finally. Please, let us have a seat at the reception until the ceremony starts”...
