Sansa\\u2019s dress has arrived. It\\u2019s as beautiful as she\\u2019d hoped but there\\u2019s a rather large string attached. It\\u2019s a wedding dress and the groom is Tyrion. Sansa protests. Tyrion commiserates. Joffrey is awful. The whole thing is a fiasco, and their post-wedding bedding goes equally as poorly. Simon and Mackelly keep the receipt for their wedding gift.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark finally gets her long-awaited dress she\\u2019d been measured for a while back. She loves it and can\\u2019t wait for Willas Tyrell to see her in it. She\\u2019s sure it will make him love her for who she is, not her claim to Winterfell. She has Queen Cersei\\u2019s entire retinue of handmaids working on beautifying her. Right when she couldn\\u2019t be any happier about how she looks in the dress, Cersei drops the bomb saying it\\u2019s wasted on \\u201cthat gargoyle.\\u201d Turns out it\\u2019s a wedding dress and her groom will be Tyrion Lannister. She refuses and tries to flee, but ultimately concedes to her fate.
At the sept, Tyrion offers to call it off, if she\\u2019d prefer to marry Lancel Lannister. Sansa figures it doesn\\u2019t matter. A Lannister is a Lannister. Sansa cries throughout the wedding and things only get worse when Tyrion can\\u2019t reach Sansa\\u2019s shoulders to put the Lannister cloak on her. The wedding feast doesn\\u2019t improve on things, ending with Tyrion threatening to geld King Joffrey.
Later in a bedchamber in the Tower of the Hand, the new couple struggle to connect. Sansa is too polite, and too young. Tyrion brings up his previous wife. He makes her undress and get into bed but ultimately can\\u2019t go through with the bedding. He offers not to touch her until she wants him to. She says that might never happen.
