Eventually she puts Miles down and wanders to someplace cozy to read the book. It's very interesting, even apart from the part where it contains the available variants of vows for a second wedding ceremony that were her original interest in the subject.
If and when, the words will - if they go with the most common variant - be: "I, [full name], do take thee, [full name], to be my spouse and helpmeet, forsaking all others. I swear to stand with you, united in love; to give aid where needed, and accept it where given; to guard your honour as you guard mine, our lives intertwined, for as long as we both shall live." Charming, much more sentimental than the "genome in a pretty package as a gift for you" language of the one they've already had. She does not think she wants to recite these words this week, but at some point - perhaps.
When she has finished reading the book she takes it back to the library and attempts to figure out where it is supposed to live. Eventually she divines the organizational system, puts it in its spot, and consults the time. It is nearly noon.
She's hungry, but should probably not start lunch without the anticipated imperial guest. She goes and loiters on a couch near the entrance and studies Barryaran Greek. (She knew Ancient Greek already, but this helps surprisingly little.)
