Gabrielle's role was short in this episode, in order for Renee O'Connor to prepare for directing Xena: Warrior Princess: A Dangerous Prey (2001).
At 35:30 Xena is once again in her leather warrior's attire. When did she have time to change from her wedding gown?
Xena's second betrothal, if not marriage. She had previously exchanged wedding bracelets with Lycus, not to be confused with Lyceus, her brother. Let's not count all the near-weddings she had while undercover as a princess, et cetera.
