This scene is right before the double wedding of Mariane to Valere, and Damis to Valere’s sister. They are in the church and getting ready for the wedding. Mariane and Damis with Dorine in one room, and Valere and his sister in another room, as they wait for the guests and preparations to be ready. The plan is first for Valere to walk his sister down the aisle and give her away to Damis, then Damis will walk Mariane down the aisle and give Mariane away to Valere.                                                                                                               Valere is nervous and wants to see Mariane to help calm his nerves. Dorine doesn’t allow Valere to see Mariane because it is suppose to be bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. Damis offers his words and Mariane reassures Valere of her love. Valere feeling slightly relieved heads back to his sister. Dorine has the final say as she should.                                                                                                                     This is a sweet scene and the happy ending that they deserve.
