Move over, William and Kate! There’s a new royal wedding in town, and this one has loads of behind-the-scenes drama and a hotly contested love triangle…no, make that love rhombus, with very pointy edges.

We have the exclusive first-look video of Gossip Girl’s highly anticipated 100th episode, airing this Monday on the CW, in which Blair (Leighton Meester) is set to marry Prince Louis (Hugo Becker).

So will she go through with it? See for yourself…

In our sneak-peek video, you can see that Blair does indeed walk down the aisle to her prince, even though we all know Louis is about as close to being her soul mate as a bucket of sludge. (Sorry, Prince!)

We also can see that Blair certainly looks all glowy and euphoric as she’s walking arm-in-arm between her father and stepfather. (Also important to point out: Everyone looks ah-maz-ingly gorgeous. Two giant snaps up to Gossip Girl’s wardrobe department!) And what’s this Serena (Blake Lively) is saying about doing something “bad?” Ruh-roh. With Georgina (Michele Trachtenberg) around, that can’t be good.

So what happens next? You’ll have to watch this Monday on the CW to see. But our bet (hope?) is that Blair won’t say “I do.” Maybe she’ll pull a Ross and say the wrong name? Or a Julia Roberts and run for the hills via horseback? Or a Kelly Taylor and choose “me”?

Whatever goes down, and whether Blair ends up with Chuck or Dan or Louis or no one, it’s sure to be an epic episode for fans.

While Gossip Girl fans may be torn between who they want Blair to be with, Leighton Meester is not.

“The one relationship I’d love to play out is Blair and Dan,” she told TVGuide.com at the show’s 100th episode party Saturday night. Penn Badgley (Dan) said: “I like the Blair [story line] because it’s the most exciting for Dan as a person.”

Although it was a surprise to see the Queen Bee and Lonely Boy, who often butted heads, start to like each other, executive producer Josh Safran said the pairing has been likely to happen since the beginning.

“I wrote the first scene with them together in Season 1 … and we knew at that moment there was something there,” he said.

But Blair and Dan getting together has a few major hitches, namely Blair’s impending wedding to Prince Louis — and a baby on the way. On Monday’s episode (8/7c, CW) Blair continues preparing for the big day with her bridal shower. And producers said a wedding will happen (or at least partly) when the 100th episode airs Jan. 30.

“She does walk down the aisle,” said Margaret Colin, who plays Blair’s mom. Added Blake Lively: “We shot a big dance sequence.” So, while it seems there’s a ceremony and a reception, Safran said it could all a dream.

While an enduring story line since the first season has been the Blair-and-Chuck relationship, Meester adds that she’s OK with their current status.

“Her and Chuck have had ups and downs and as much as everyone loves them together, I think them having time apart has actually helped them grow,” she said.

But, “Chair” fans, don’t be alarmed yet. Executive producer Stephanie Savage told us: “We have some amazing Chuck-and-Blair scenes coming up in the next couple of episodes.. The Chuck-and-Blair relationship is really fun and something that wasn’t in the books, but came out of Leighton and Ed [Westwick]‘s chemistry.”

Whether you want Blair to be with Chuck or Dan (does anyone want her with the Prince?), creator Josh Schwartz has a solution. “There’s only one way to satisfy all those people,” he said. “Threesome.”
