Pretend that Eliza and Alex had their wedding designed after the Winter Ball where they met

Meaning it's a masquerade wedding.

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

Ash POV

"You must be quite good friends with the Schuyler sisters. They write letters to you almost every day." The postman, who I had come to know as Matthew, stated.

"Yes. Thank you for the mail. Anything for a George Washington?"

"No, ma'am."

"Alright then. Thank you Matthew."

I looked down at my three letters. One from each of the sisters. I had become good friends with all of them, but was still closest to Eliza. I decided to open hers last.

Dear Ash,

Eliza's getting married! Can you believe it? I couldn't. Ouch. Eliza just slapped me for writing that.

Must be Peggy.

She says she's inviting you. Ouch. She just slapped me again for ruining the surprise.

Sincerely, Peggy

Like I said. Peggy.

Dear Ashley,

I'm writing this in secret. I don't want to get slapped by Eliza. Her slaps hurt. If you haven't read Peggy's letter yet; Eliza is getting married! Isn't it wonderful?

Ouch! Eliza just found me and slapped me. Good luck.

Yours Truly, Angelica

I now have a newfound respect for Eliza.

Dear Ashley,

You probably already know because you always read my sisters letters first. Something about saving the best for last? I don't know.

I'm getting married! What you don't know, because I declined to tell them until after they sent their letters, was, I want you to be my maid of honor. You were the one that dragged him over and forced us to talk. For that I am forever grateful.

The wedding is a masquerade theme, designed after the ball that we met.

I really hope you can make it. Even though you probably have duties to handle being the general's right hand woman and all.

With Love, Eliza

I was going to be the Maid Of Honor.

I needed to prepare a speech.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Dear Eliza,

I would love to come to your wedding, when is it? Where is it? And is there a color scheme I need to match?

With The Most Love, Ash

I ran to Matthew just before he was about to leave and handed it to him.

"Let me guess. The Schuyler household?"

"You are a life saver Matthew."

"You are a woman fighting in the war. You are saving more lives than me."

"You are also too kind. Goodbye Matthew."

"Goodbye."

The next day I got a letter from Eliza.

Dear Ash,

I feel silly for not telling you this in the earlier letter.

It is on the 6th of December, at my father's home. There is no color scheme and I am very glad you could make it.

With All The Love, Eliza

I was not under any circumstances wearing a dress after what happened at the ball. I was going to wear the same mask and my soldier uniform.

The wedding was in two days and I still didn't have anything to say planned. I'll probably just say something like 'To the bride' or something.
