The Zabini-Riley Wedding!
One of the biggest weddings in the New Year seems to be between Calliope Riley and Cosmo Zabini. This is not the first wedding for either newlywed with the newly minted Mrs. Zabini having been a widow. She lost her first husband, Daniel Riley in 1882. Mister Zabini's marriage history is a tad more interesting than that of his newlywed wife. The gentleman has been married twice before with one marriage ending in divorce and the second to death.

Mister Zabini has children from his first marriage, some of whom are close in age to his new bride and others being older. This reporter simply cannot imagine how it must feel to know that your mother was discarded by your father and to watch him marry someone that you likely attended school with. Mrs Zabini only has one child produced from her first marriage who was born after her husband had already perished so there is no way to gauge how fertile she might be in producing more children for her new husband though her own family consists of multiple siblings.

Of her sisters, Mrs. Zabini seems to be the most adept at society life. Mrs Odira Keene is not usually seen among societal events and works as a librarian. Sources have speculated that perhaps her abduction at the hands of a criminal might have made her wary of people and desire to hide herself away. Yet despite being hidden within dusty shelves of books, Mrs Keene has managed to marry twice. Her first husband died in 1886 and she married Baxter Keene in 1889. Miss Loretta Browne, however, has had zero prospects and is purported to be quite awkward when socializing with anyone, let alone the opposite sex. The youngest sister, miss Prudence Browne is still a student so it is still a mystery how she will do in society.

As for the wedding itself, it was quite an elegant and lovely affair. They were married on a Wednesday which is the best day for a marriage to take place. There is some discourse over whether January is a good time to marry but starting the new year with a new start in marital bliss seems like the perfect way to start ones life. Mrs Zabinis gown was a gorgeous Parisian gown in an off-white ivory color. It complimented the brides skin beautifully. There was some elegant pearl beading on the bodice which suited the dress wonderfully. It was said to be a lot more understated than the dress she wore in her first wedding which suits a widow perfectly.

We here at Witch Weekly wish many blessings upon the newlyweds and look forward to seeing how they take on society together.
