45 Wedding (1/2)
Wearing my tie, I was currently at the tavern office. ”Looking handsome Master,” Ele said as she giggled. ”Hmm, Boss where is Johnson” Isoc asked as he laid on the couch.
My smile stiffened ”He has some things to deal with, give him some time”. Isoc looked confused then nodded. ”Master, would you like to look at the three types of VRM's?” Rose asked as she stood next to me near the mirror. ”Later, now we prepare for the wedding haha!” I laughed as I replied back.
Knock Knock, someone knocked on the door before entering, ”Uncle, everything is ready” Rain said as she was followed by her younger brother Viktor. I smiled, they looked cute wearing this type of dress. ”Let us go” I walked outside followed by the others.
Piano and violin playing in the background, the entire group was ready sitting outside, I opened the tavern door and walked on the red carpet followed by the kids and Rose. After reaching the stage, Rain and Viktor stood on the side while Rose took a seat down. I stood in anticipation for Emma to appear, moments passed and finally, Emma appeared followed by Kate and Angela.
”Beautiful…” I muttered as I looked at the scene, each step she took made time slow down, covered in her veil she walked with a smile underneath, Kate and Angela were smiling behind her wearing a black dress.
She finally reached the opposite side of me, I looked at her with a smile, Yama stood up from his chair and went in between us before holding a book in his hand. ”Cough! Dearly beloved, we meet here today to witness a sacred ceremony: the union of Emma and Ace…” I looked at Emma with a smile.
Yama kept speaking ”I will now share a short reading on soulmates from author Richard Bach: ”A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who were pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”
I felt warm, 29 years living a hopeless life, a life without purpose… ”I solemnly bear witness to these matrimonial proceedings. I will now finalize the sacred covenant you shall both enter into on this day.” Yama spoke as he looked at both of us before nodding.
”Emma and Ace, I invite you to express your sacred vows to one another. Please face each other as you declare these vows before the Universe and in the presence of your family and friends.”
Emma looked at me smiling, ”I, Emma, take you, Ace, to be my lawfully wedded husband. I promise to keep you by my side through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to stay true to you, honor you, and love you for the rest of my days until death do us part.”
I froze on the spot, what is this feeling inside? ”Ace now is the time for your promise,” Yama said as he looked at me. I cleared my mind and looked at Emma.
A smile appeared and I said ”I, Ace, take you, Emma, to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to keep you by my side through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to stay true to you, honor you, and love you for the rest of my days until death do us part.”
Emma smiled, Yama coughed once more before continuing ”Ace, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to support her completely and love her unconditionally, so long as you both shall live?”
I looked at Emma ”I do”
Yama looked at Emma ”Emma, do you take Ace to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to support him completely and love him unconditionally, so long as you both shall live?”
Emma looked at me ”I do”
