Aleron peels his gaze up from his newest niece to look at Anders. Very few in attendance know who he is, and for the sake of the peace, it's best for his identity to remain unknown. The Seeker is not best known for dissembling and lying of any sort chafes him horrendously. In doing the best he can to not out this particular guest, he looks over to his beautiful bride and just that alone draws a slight smile out of him.
"What most know is that Bethany is a Hawke and a Warden. That she is a celebrity for being featured in a book about her sister, and that their family is from an aristocratic line in Kirkwall. That is all that matters to them, that in their eyes, this is an advantageous match for both sides."
Don't be fooled. He knows what Anders is asking. However, Aleron has already run into their differing opinions about how they view Bethany. The mage obviously feels her magic is her defining trait; the groom feels it is only one feature, much as her hair or eyes or dimples.
"But do we ever truly know another? She is so much more, and that I cannot say anyone knows in full. She is good and kind and loving. Certainly some have learned as much. I hope they all do in time."
