Chapter 38 - (Unedited) The Wedding Part 3 (1/2)

The beautiful rings of bells and the chattering of a few people who can't wait for the wedding to start. Zach was already waiting in the alter. Besides the priest is the judge. Their grandfather wanted a priest and a judge for the blessing to make it more legal. Zach wasn't even looking at anyone. He can't wait for his bride.

The bridesmaid are lining up and he doesn't care about anything else and how beautiful they make the church. What he cares about is her. The music was beautiful and someone was singing a love song. He stopped and listen for a while on the love song. The song is sung by one of the Mondragon relative a celebrity singer. He sang 'Perfect' of Ed Sheeran perfectly. He asked for that song and he become emotional as everyone stood from the first of the song and the door opens.

His eyes twinkled as Andromeda walk slowly in the aisle. Her gown is purely white with diamond beads. It was long from behind and the veil has petals of red roses like it was a blood and a perfect art on the veil. Instead of lilac. She's holding a thorny rose. Wrapped around on the black ribbon.

He understands why she would hold roses with full of thorns. It's like he wrapped her heart with thorns from the roses. She was looking straight at him as her father is at her right, holding her hand.

Slowly they reach the altar as the song ended. Aaron hesitated for a while on giving his daughter to him. But she squeezed his hand and Aaron kisses her forehead, covered with a veil.

”I love you. I will be here for you.”

”Thank you, Dad.”

Aaron face Zachary and gave her hand to her. He held their hands for a while.

”Do not hurt her again,” Aaron told him. ”It's not a request. It's a threat.” He kissed her forehead one more time and went back to his seat.

They face the altar and listen to the priest's words and whatever the traditions are and now, for their vows. She said responded with a casual ”I do.” and he said the same with sincerity.

And for the exchange of vows. Zach pulled out an old paper. There is a stain of ink but he opened it and was about to read it to her. But she holds it and stop him from reading it.

”I don't want to hear it.” She said but only her, the priest, the judge and him could only hear. They are stupefied for a while. She looked at the priest. ”The ring.” The priest asked for the ring bearer and Zach put her ring on her and she did the same.

Zach sadly hold her hand.

”Andy, I--”

”End this,” Andy told the priest and the priest pronounced them as husband and wife and Zach slowly lift the veil. Her simple beautiful alway starstruck him. But she looks fierce than sadness. She's strong. He always knew that.

He smiled and reach her chin.

”I am always yours, Andromeda.” He kissed her and Andy search for the Allona. Her face is sour and she smirked and kiss Zach back passionately holding his nape.

Zach hold her waist and kissed her more. Their kiss ended for fifteen seconds and they all face the crowd. They stood and clapped their hands. Andromeda glanced at Allona and a smirked runs on her lips when she noticed the sourness on her face as she clapped her hands.
