Chapter 554 - Wedding day (S&F) (8) (1/2)

The major finished his introductory speech on marriage and announced that Felix and Sophia have their own vows.

Gustav handed the wedding bands.

Wedding bands are designed by Felix. They are made out of white gold with edges of yellow gold. Felix's band has small diamonds lining the edges between white and yellow gold, and infinity symbols are engraved into the middle section of the ring, through the part made of white gold. Sophia's wedding band has infinity symbols within middle made out of small diamonds. On the inside of the bands, engraved is date of their wedding day, as well as their names. The bands are very sophisticated.

It was first time for Sophia to see them, and her expression showed that she likes them very much.

Of course, Felix added GPS tracking and messaging features to the bands as well. So, they are not only pleasing to the eye, but functional as well. He will explain features to Sophia later.

Sophia wanted to go first. She took the wedding band for Felix and slowly slid it on his left ring finger without breaking eye contact while saying her vows: ”My dearest Felix, I love you because of who you are and because of who I am when we are together. With you by my side I am stronger, bolder, braver than I ever was because I know you have my back. I promise to put you ahead of all others, and that you can always count on me. I promise that we will conquer all obstacles and enjoy the results of our labor, together, as equals. Let us join our hearts and souls for eternity.”

While Sophia said her vows, Leah and Gustav were looking at the happy couple.

Sarah and Aiden were gazing at each other, and so did JoAnna and Jeff. Four of them were smiling and looked so smitten with one another that you could easily think that they are standing there as next in line to get married.

Felix had a big smile on his face while listening to Sophia. When she finished, he could not stop himself and he kissed her. For a moment everything was silent.

Mayor cleared his throat and mumbled: ”That goes later…”

Then everyone burst into laughter. Guests further away didn't hear what mayor said, but they saw that Felix went for the kiss before the famous 'you may kiss the bride' part.

Now it was Felix's turn to clear his throat. He mumbled to the mayor: ”Sorry…”

But Felix was not sorry. He was just being polite. He felt like kissing Sophia and he did it. If he can rewind time and repeat, he would kiss her again.

Felix took the wedding band for Sophia from Gustav. He looked Sophia in the eyes while slowly putting the band on her left ring finger and said his vows: ”My dearest Sophia, I promise you my love and everything I own. I promise to dream with you; both great and small dreams… until the end of our lives. And when we are reborn, I will find you. Our souls will meet and remember. And we will love each other again. I promise to cherish you in this life and in the next one.”

Sophia was very touched. Her chin was quivering while tears pooled in her eyes. Her emotions overflowed, boosted with pregnancy hormones, and she got on her toes and kissed him.

Mayor shook his head in disbelief. 'Young people... You are supposed to wait for me to pronounce you married and then goes the kissing part…'
