Game Of Thrones: 14 Crazy Bits Of Foreshadowing Hidden Throughout The Series
6. Varys Always Hated Weddings
In the Season 2 episode Blackwater, Varys and Tyrion share an interesting conversation as Tyrion is getting ready to go into battle. The bells are ringing, and Varys says that he always hated that sound.
“I always hated the bells,” he says. “They ring for horror, a dead king, a city under siege...”
“Or a wedding,” Tyrion replies.
“Exactly,” Varys says.
This scene takes on a whole new, hilarious meaning now, with our knowledge of how weddings in Game of Thrones usually go down. But this was a full season before the Red Wedding, and two seasons before the Purple Wedding.
Now, a few years later, we can totally understand having a visceral negative reaction against weddings in Westeros, because it seems they always end poorly.
