A Noble Marriage 水木龙 54120K 2022-07-24

This is the anti-theft chapter. The flower boys scatter flowers in front of her, while the older children hold the skirt for Anna. At the moment, her eyes were full of Karenin, so that after the wedding, she always wondered why she didn't worry about tripping over her skirt or saying the wrong oath.

The melody of the eulogy was graceful and wonderful. Anna felt that the red carpet was a little too long, as if she was suffering from breathing until she finally came to the other party.

Karenin was a head taller than Anna, so Anna had to look up at him.

She looked at each other's outstretched eyebrows and his pale blue eyes. Everything was the way she liked it.

So even though she knew it wasn't allowed, Anna couldn't help but whisper, ”I'm here.”

At this moment, the boundary of time seems to be blurred. In Anna's eyes, the two eras of Karenin overlapped, so that she laughed contentedly.

Karenin was a little surprised when he heard the unexpected words, but then, after seeing the satisfied and happy expression on the other side's face, everything was not important.

His bride is so beautiful.

The headdress made of orange blossom was decorated with her black hair, her slender eyebrows curved in a good-looking curve, and her big eyes with thick eyelashes contained a continuous love. Even if the iron hearted people saw it, they had to voluntarily fall into this love net.

Karenin pursed his lips. He had to restrain himself.

The priest began to read the libretto, and Anna and Karenin stood in their seats until the ring exchange step was taken before turning again to face each other.

Anna reached out her hand, her slender and pale fingers were wrapped in the most fashionable lace gloves, showing only a faint and delicate skin.

Karenin, with his white gloved left hand, took the other's hand. He took out the ring and put it slowly and solemnly over Anna's finger.

Anna looked down at the wedding ring of her own. It was an old ring. With the texture of ruby, she had some years. It seemed that every ray of light was engraved with the lines of the times.

This is a ring belonging to the Karenin family. It was worn by the couple of the previous generation or even the previous generation. Some feelings and blessings have been engraved in the ring for a long time. Now, it is passed on to their descendants.

The strong feeling of the years made Anna feel a little moved, so when she looked up at Karenin, her eyes became bright again.

Karenin could not see the tears of women or children, which was a secret weakness of him. Tears can make him feel uncomfortable and make him unable to think rationally.

Now seeing his bride's tears, he can't run away rigidly, he has to face it bravely.

Karenin didn't know why he felt so sorry for each other. Clearly, she was a healthy woman, and she was not petite. But at the moment of seeing her tears, he felt that if he did not protect her, even the air would hurt her.

Therefore, the official, who had always been strict with the rules, broke his own rules. He took off the gloves of his right hand and wiped the bright tears for his bride with his fingertips.

”Don't cry.”

Said Karenin in a low voice.

At this moment, he didn't pay attention to the voice of the crowd around him. In his pale blue eyes, there was only his bride. His, fragile, beautiful, must be protected and appeased by him.

”Yes.”

Anna answered, smiling, and then shyly, she took out the wedding ring belonging to Karenin so that the ceremony could continue.

Then she found that the ring was so kind.

The best sapphire is inlaid in a silver ring with complicated lines carved around it. The interface is wider than that of a lady's wedding ring. It is grand and noble.

Anna smiles. She takes Karenin's left hand and firmly puts the ring on each other's ring finger.

She did not immediately let go, but a little appreciation, now, Anna's heart is full of satisfaction, because she has determined one thing. That is, whether it is now or in the future, this man belongs to her.

”Take the ring as evidence, so you can't escape.” Anna whispered. Only Karenin could hear it.

He didn't know why she said that, but it didn't matter. The important thing is that she is right in front of him and belongs to him.

The priest had finished the eulogy, and the priest began the last blessing with the Bible in his hand.

The priests announced their blessings from God in a psalmic voice, and at the last moment, when the emotions of all the people were brewing, their beautiful and gentle bride suddenly called out in that emotional, sweet voice, ”wait a minute!”

The rhythm suddenly stops, and everyone looks at the bride. There are noisy voices whispering, and some even wonder whether the bride has turned back.

Karenin's face did not change. He was very calm. His blue eyes looked down at his bride, waiting for her to speak.

Anna smiles. She says in a soft voice, ”before, my fiance gave me a gift, which moved me very much. Now, I want to give him a gift in return.”The priest never encountered this situation, but he was an experienced priest. He observed the bride and groom, especially the groom. Finally, he decided to let the bride fulfill her wish with the most generous heart.

”Please complete it on this solemn occasion, bride.”

The priest's permission made the crowd quiet again.

Anna looked at the priest gratefully, then turned to her bridegroom, with a big smile on her lips and a soft, sweet voice spread through the church.

”Marriage is a solemn thing for me. Two people who love each other as one, no matter when they are born, old or dead, they should never give up. They should tolerate each other and trust each other. They should bear and enjoy life together. If I find this person in front of me, I will seize him at all costs and ”hold the hand of my son and grow old with my son.”

She pauses for a moment, and then continues to speak with emotion.

”The two of us are going to get married. In the future, whether we are healthy or ill, whether we are happy or miserable, we should care about each other. We are not one person, but two people. We will work hard and we will be happy. We will go to the end of the world in this way.”

When the bride's words are over, thunderous applause rings out, and others are cheering regardless of reserve.

No matter how noisy the scene is, Karenin's eyes are only his own bride. He remembered that two weeks ago, she handed herself a piece of paper with ten reasons why they had to get married:

there was a basic material economy as the basis.

Accept each other's family.

Each other can firmly support each other.

Each other can be tolerant.

They have similar interests.

Each other has a spirit of dedication and sacrifice.

It's easy to communicate with each other.

Each other can fully understand trust.

There are common values in life.
