Chapter 897 The wedding is in progress(2/2)
People clapped their hands, and the bridesmaid Lecia led the way. The bride walked onto the red carpet with a smile. The rear skirt of the long and exaggerated dress was led by a total of eight people with the same hair color wearing white robes.
It is held by the golden little girls.
The steam pipes laid out in advance sprayed fine steam mist from the holes in the ground onto the red carpet at this moment. The soft light at noon was projected from the stained glass windows higher up in the auditorium. In the little halo,
In the music of "The Wedding March", in the eyes of envy and blessing, Mona Cavendish walked through the long red carpet, passed everyone who sent her blessings, and finally came to the seat.
The front row of chairs.
She hugged her mother, Queen Diana, and then looked at her father, Larous III, the current king of the Kingdom of Delarion.
Unlike the queen who was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, the king's expression was calm:
"Mona, remember to be happy."
He whispered, just a simple sentence, and the bride shed tears.
The king took the bride's hand and sent her to the high platform behind the pulpit, then turned and left. Lesia stood behind the bride.
"Oh, this is really..."
Dorothy bit her lip slightly, her eyes looking a little crazy. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cat being held by Shade softly "meow~". Little Mia seemed afraid of disturbing this sacred thing.
For a moment, he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Lesia?"
While people were sitting down, Shade asked softly, masking the sound of the chairs moving. "Dorothy" wiped her eyes and ignored Shade.
"God bless this newlywed couple who have been approved and blessed by relatives and friends, and are united under the Holy Emblem!"
The old priest announced loudly. On his right was Mona Cavendish holding a bouquet, and on his left was Randolph Ellsberg in military uniform.
Following the priest's announcement, the sound of the "Wedding March" gradually became lowered, but did not completely disappear:
"In the name of our Lord, the loving father of peace, I wish you blessings. Bless your marriage, and may you become God's servants, and in the teachings and grace of peace, obtain eternal happiness in this world."
The priest took a deep breath and looked at the people who were already seated:
"Excuse me, does anyone object to the marriage of this couple?"
Of course no one can speak at this moment, otherwise the other party will definitely not be able to walk out of the Peace Church alive.
But the old priest still waited for ten seconds, then smiled and said loudly:
"No one objects to this marriage. May God bless everyone. The loving father will witness everything here and all the vows. Praise the loving father of peace! Praise war and peace!"
Delarian's wedding tradition is quite complicated. The normal process requires the choir to appear at this time and sing the hymns of the Peace Church, such as "White Shepherd" or "Song of Peace." However, royal weddings have always simplified the process-in order to prevent accidents
, so the children in the choir did not appear, but the priest read aloud an excerpt from Chapter 5, Section 3 of the "Code of Peace" about the view of marriage in the Peace Church, during which the band played "Song of Peace".
After all this was over, the priest performed the most critical part. People looked at the groom and bride behind the pulpit with bated breath:
"In the name of God, I ask you under the holy symbol——"
"Dorothy" quietly held Shade's hand, and Mia climbed onto Shade's shoulder curiously, staring at the priest across the crowd in front of her with wide eyes.
"Randolph Johnson Ellsberg, will you take this lady to be your wife, even if she grows old and loses her youth?"
the priest asked.
Young Mr. Eisberg's eyes subconsciously looked at the king sitting below, and then quickly said:
"Yes, I am willing. May my loving father witness that I am willing."
His hand was placed on the holy book held by the priest. The priest smiled, turned around and asked:
"Mona Fran Cavendish, are you willing to be this gentleman's wife, whether rich or poor, whether in life, old age, sickness or death?"
"Yes I do."
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on the holy book.
Shade seemed to hear Queen Diana in the front row finally crying, and his hand was squeezed firmly by "Dorothy". "Lecia" behind the bride was looking at her sister with a smile, and the main
Among the bridesmaids behind the bridesmaids, Agelina's face looked normal.
He was very curious about the expressions of the witches at this time, so Shade carefully turned his head slightly and looked at the other side of the aisle with his peripheral vision.
Miss Sylvia raised her head and looked at the bride and groom in front of them who were taking vows, as if they were doing some academic research. Miss Carina happened to be looking at Shade at this moment. The red-haired witch made no sense at all.
glared at him.
"Huh? Did I do something wrong?"
Shade thought in his mind, and then heard the priest loudly announcing at the climax of the "Wedding March":
"Our Lord and Peaceful Father, witness that this marriage is valid. You make a vow to each other, witnessed by the gods. Please exchange rings with each other, and may God bless you. Your marriage has begun. This is a new beginning, a new family, and a new continuation.
!”
The ring boy presented the ring, and the priest stepped aside. Amidst the applause of the people, Mona Asberg and Randolph Asberg looked at each other, and then put the rings on each other's hands.
The sun was shining just right at noon, and the atmosphere in the church auditorium was intense. There were bursts of applause, and everyone was smiling.
So, as the atmosphere reached a climax, Mr. Asberg embraced his bride and then kissed her.
Afterwards, there was a speech by the priest and the gift given to the church, as well as brief speeches by the parents of both parties, but Shade no longer cared about listening to these.
"Dorothy" suddenly turned her head and hugged his neck, and then kissed him. Of course, this was not a deep kiss, just a light touch. Not many people noticed this scene, even Dorothy
On the other side, Akane was so focused on looking at Princess Margaret on the stage that she didn't even notice.
But Shade can be sure that the two witches must have noticed it. At least, Miss Carina definitely saw this scene. Shade felt that the other person's eyes seemed to be "shooting" him in substance.
The priest's blessing still sounded in the front. After "Dorothy" kissed Shade, she immediately turned her head and continued to look at the people on the stage, as if nothing had happened.
Shade didn't dare to look in the direction of the witches at all. He could only lower his head and touch his lips, and then saw the cat lying on his lap twisting its neck and raising its head in an awkward posture, using amber
looked at him with big eyes:
"Meow!"
Shade thought he understood Mia's words, so he reached out and scratched its little head. The cat squinted its eyes with an expression of enjoyment, and then lay down peacefully, with its two furry white front paws resting on its little head.
"Marriage..."
Shade was thinking during the most exciting last section of the wedding march. Hearing the people around him start applauding again, he clapped his hands too.
However, when he looked up at Randolph Ellsberg and Mona Ellsberg, who were holding hands with each other and showing happy expressions, Shade still pursed his lips, thinking about the meaning of love and marriage.
"May God bless them."
He said softly, but his voice was drowned in the sound of applause around him.
Chapter completed!
