He closed his eyes, his lips moving in silent prayer, his chest rising and falling with each labored breath. "May God bless you and your union, may your love for each other grow stronger with each passing day, and may your marriage be filled with joy, laughter, and happiness. May you always find peace and contentment in each other's arms, and may your bond be unbreakable, a testament to the power of true love."

“May fate be kind to you, may your loved ones aid you in the storms of life, may joy be yours and may there be little strife, may peace and happiness be yours all your days, may you find friends and the love of a fated mate on your way.” I could feel the blessing reverberate through me and know that this is no young witch; this woman is powerful. She then picks up a goblet and draws a crescent on each of their foreheads. “Blessings of the Spirits be upon you. Blessings of All Beings be upon you.” Concluding the blessing, she gives each of us a candle to blow out before placing a crescent on our foreheads as well. “That was something else,” I murmur, and Caterina agrees.

"Wait, this isn't the bridal grown I choose." "Of course, Milady. You don't want to accidentally dirty your bridal grown in the temple, right? This dress is the traditional grown for brides when they ask the goddess for her blessings.", one of the maids explained. "Ask for her blessings?", Katherine mumbled and rapidly noticed that the customs in the Icelands might be different from those in Dragsa. "Hazel, explain it to me please. What does an Icelandic bride need to do on her wedding day?"

I turned towards Adelie as the bishop handed me her ring, “With this ring, I thee wed. With my body, I thee honor, and all my worldly goods with thee I share.” Adelie repeated the process, and I was mildly surprised that her hands weren’t even shaking as she put the ring on my finger. We turned back to the bishop and knelt in front of him as he raised his hands over us. “Eternal Father Odin, send thy blessing upon these, thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name, that living together faithfully may surely keep the vow and covenant between them, to take this ring as a token and pledge of their love. Blessed be their union.”

She passed me an envelope, saying, "Dante asked me to give this to you and to wish you a happy marriage." She patted me on the shoulder before leaving. I abruptly remembered that Dante had said he wanted to attend my wedding, but I hadn't seen any sign of him that day. Opening the envelope, I read the letter. "I'm sorry, Nina. I haven't fully gotten over you yet, but I know that there's no hope for us anymore. You're right. Life must go on. It's time for me to move forward and find the path meant for me. The time I spent with you was the happiest period of my life. I will never forget it. Please forgive me for being too much of a cowardly weakling to wish you a happy marriage in person. I ho

"Please, Rainie, we were wrong before. We shouldn’t have believed that monster!" "As long as you can save my wife, I’ll give you everything I own!" I let out a quiet sigh. "Come with me." I brought them back to my place in the mountains and handed out the holy water I had prepared earlier. "Take this back and have your wives drink it. In three days, the children in their wombs will return to normal." I paused, then added coldly, "But remember this, during those three days, they must not be injured or bleed. And they must not look into a mirror. Otherwise, the ghost infants can confuse their minds and consume them completely."

On the wedding day, the banquet hall was exquisitely decorated, alive with the guests' joyful murmurs. I clutched my bouquet, ready to step down the aisle, when the emcee's startled voice cut in. "It's almost time to begin, but the bride's family still isn't here." Gathering the hem of my dress, I gave a reassuring smile. "They just texted me. There's some traffic, so they'll be a few minutes late. It's fine. We can go ahead as planned."

Iris’s POV The priest began to speak, and the words washed over me in waves. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. I had heard these words a hundred times at a hundred weddings, but they felt different now like an accusation disguised as a blessing. "Iris," the priest said, turning to me. "Do you take this man to be your husband? To love and cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

I nod and Kian does the same, earning ourselves a satisfied smile from the Priest. "Velsignet være Hella, velsignet være dette ekteskapet. (Blessed be Hella, blessed be this marriage.)"
