Sansa puts on her new gown as Cersei looks on. When she is dressed, a maiden cloak is brought out for her, and Cersei informs her that she is to marry Tyrion. Sansa is in a state of shock and tries to refuse, but Cersei says that she has no choice. Ser Osmund and Ser Meryn wait outside to escort her to the sept. Joffrey waits for her at the steps of the sept and taunts her until Tyrion comes out and asks for a moment alone with her. Tyrion apoligizes for the situation and says she may marry Lancel if she prefers, but Sansa, resigned to her fate, says they should continue. Inside the sept, the guests include Ser Balon, Ser Boros, Varys, Ser Addam, Dontos, Lord Philip, Ser Bronn, Jalabhar Xho, Lord Gyles, Lady Tanda, and Lollys, but not one Tyrell. Joffrey unfastens Sansa's maiden cloak, and then it is Tyrion's turn to fasten a Lannister cloak around her shoulders. He is too short and there is no stool, so Tyrion tugs on Sansa's skirt for her to kneel. She refuses, causing the assembled to laugh. Joffrey finally has Dontos bend down for Tyrion to stand on.

The Tyrells are at the wedding feast afterwards, including Margaery, Olenna, supported between Erryk and Arryk, Elinor, Alla, and Megga. Other guests include Alyn, Tommen, Lady Taena, Lord Mace, Lady Alerie, Ser Kevan, Lady Janna, Lady Meredyth, Lord Paxter, Lord Mathis, and Lord Tywin. Moon Boy and Dontos entertain. Ser Garlan comes up to Sansa and requests a dance, which Tyrion consents to. Ser Garlan is kind and tells her that Tyrion may be a bigger man than he seems. She dances with Lord Mace, Lord Orton Merryweather, Tommen, Ser Kevan, Jalabhar Xho, and Lord Paxter before ending up partnered with Joffrey. Joffrey tells her that he will have her whenever he wants because he is the king. She continues the dance with Lord Mathis, Ser Tallad, and Alyn before ending up back with Ser Garlan. When the dance ends, Joffrey announces it is time for the bedding. Tyrion says they will dispense with the bedding and threatens to geld Joffrey when he insists. Lord Tywin says they can do without the bedding and that Tyrion must not have meant to threaten the royal person. They walk to the bedchamber, where Tyrion pours some wine and tells Sansa to undress. He tries to talk to her and comfort her, but she does not respond to him. Finally, he has her get on the bed, but then decides that he cannot go through with it and will not touch her unless and until she wants him to.
