Chapter 319 - Three Hundred And Nineteen - Does Anyone Object To This Marriage? (1/2)
The third point of view:
”Do you, Niklaus Christian Spencer, take this woman, Reina princess Armani Sakuzi, as your lawfully wedded wife?” The pastor asked Niklaus who had his eyes fixed on his lovely wife, Reina.
At the moment, Niklaus had pushed every negative thought out of his mind and set his sight on Reina. His heart was pounding so loud in his ears that it was a surprise Reina couldn't hear it.
”I do,” He answered, honestly. Niklaus had never been this sure in his entire life. Reina was the woman he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
The pastor then turned to inquire of Eden the same question which he answered with confidence.
”I do,” Eden said, smiling down at his bride. So he was finally getting married and getting another shot at happiness - well, he was tired of the bachelor's life anyway.
”Now, repeat after me grooms,” The pastor began to enunciate the traditional wedding vows which both of them recited accordingly.
”I, Niklaus Christian Spencer, take you, Reina Princess Armani Sakuzi, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow, ”
”I, Eden Benjamin Spencer, take you, Camille Elizabeth Smith, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow.
Then the priest turned to the brides and repeated the same query to both women.
”Do you, Reina Armani Princess Sakuzi take this man, Niklaus Christian Spencer, to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
”I do,” Reina answered, still not believing what was going on. She was finally marrying Niklaus? This seemed like a dream to her.
The priest repeated the same question to Camille. Since it was a double wedding and for both cousins, everything had to be done together.
”I do,” Camille answered with a smile on her face. Her husband looked truly gorgeous today.
Almost immediately, the ring bearer, Pedro, who had the rings tied to a small luxurious pillow walked over to the respective grooms who took the ring according to the direction of the ordained priest.
Niklaus and Eden picked the ring one after the other and this time, the pastor gave them the chance to personalize their ring exchange wordings.
”I give you this ring as a sign of my faithful devotion. I will always love you, cherish you, and honor the vows spoken here today.” Niklaus said and slid the ring into Reina's finger.
”I give you this ring as a symbol of my faith in our united strength. It shines as brightly as my undying love for you.” Eden promised, sliding the ring into Camille's finger as well. A round of applause reverberated across the church auditorium.
Now, it was the bride's turn to exchange the ring and both picked the rings accordingly.
”This ring is a token of my love. I offer you all that I have, all that I am, and all that I will be.” Reina declared and slide the ring into the appropriate fingers.
Today, for the first time in history, Niklaus had gotten rid of all the rings in his fingers, just so he could wear this one alone.
”This ring is almost as beautiful as your smile. Let's embark on this new journey together and live life by each other's side.” Camille said hers, putting the ring in Eden's finger too.
This time a thunderous clap reverberated across the aisle. Though they hadn't been proclaimed husband and wife yet, the guest could not hold back their happiness anymore. The sight was so sweet and heart-stirring.
Since Pedro's duty was done, he had to return to the aisle and one should have seen how Isabella's eyes widened when she saw him coming.
She quickly reorganized herself to make sure nothing was out of place and tapped the space next to her - she kept it free on purpose - suggesting he should sit with her.
However, to Isabella's disappointment, Pedro walked past her with his head held high and choose to sit with the bridesmaids.
Julie who saw how everything transpired between them burst into mocking laughter to Anabelle's irritation.
”Could you stop jinxing another person's relationship?” she was upset.
