Martha’s gaze then switched to Noah, “now, dear, it’s your turn.” Noah nodded, “Dear Wade, I, Noah Parker-Cheong, from now on, will take you as my husband and serve you as your Luna, for better, for worse, till death do us apart.” “Beautiful!” Then Martha glanced at the audience witnessing her son's wedding, “And by this time, if anyone can see these two should not join in a holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.” Since it was a small private wedding, which was only attended by families, no one objected to the union.

Scar's Childhood Home, October 17th 09:45 I SWEAR, I PROMISE, I DO "To the end of the world it is..." "We are joined here today to witness Mr Christian O'Connor and Miss Kahlani Pierce join in holy matrimony. If you could all take your seats..." the town's priest called out.

I sat very still. Grace was watching me. She'd heard enough from my side of the call to know something had shifted. "Say that again," I said. "A marriage record," Matteo said. "Viktor Dmitri Volkov and Mara Elena Reyes. Registered seven years ago through a private civil office. Completely legal. Completely binding." A pause. "Completely unknown to either of you." The office was quiet except for Grace's computer fan and the faint sound of traffic six floors below.

♥♥♥♥ “What?” Layla’s voice trembled in disbelief. She sat across from her stepmother, Margot, in the quiet private room. Margot didn’t even glance at her, she sipped her tea slowly, like the situation was nothing more than a casual conversation. Margot’s tone was calm, too calm. “You’ll be getting married.” Layla blinked, unable to comprehend her words. “Married?

He’s the illegitimate son of a powerful family, older, wealthy, and… let’s just say, not the kind of man you refuse.”

He ordered the congregation to take their seat, which they did—accordingly. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to witness the joining in holy matrimony of Jade Alejandro and Sapphire Blac. He who finds a wife has found a good thing." He priest preached on, a little. He said the speech and afterward we exchanged vows, tears filling both our eyes. "Anyone can show just course while these two can not lawfully be joined together in holy matrimony. Let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.” the congregation looked at themselves. Some guests turned to themselves with weird faces.

Then kisses her, before running happily over to Zane. I watch her in amazement as she walks towards me. She stands before me and smiles, far brighter than I have ever seen her smile before. "You planned all this?" I ask. "And so much more. But I'll show you that after." She says with a wink, making me curious, and turned on at the same time. She giggles at my response before turning to the man standing between us. I hadn't even noticed he was there until just now. "Welcome, loved ones. We are gathered here today to join Damian Maverick Stone and Haley Sienna Cunningham in holy matrimony."

This was something Rose had never imagined. "Where else? In a church?" Matteo asked coldly. "You think? We should make vows before God," Rose replied firmly. "Marriage is sacred." Matteo's eyes narrowed. Since when did Romilda care about anything holy? She only acted like a saint in front of Matteo's father. But behind? Romilda was nothing but a devil hiding her tail. "Just sign it. You know very well that this marriage is nothing more than a business arrangement," Matteo said flatly.

Candles burn in iron sconces, their glow fighting with the sunlight pouring through rose windows, gilding the scene in fractured brilliance. Even the priest wears the satisfaction of a man well compensated for his sudden flexibility. Voice softened by the sizable donation that made such a last-minute ceremony possible. The sanctity of the place bends as easily as men do, and the irony makes me want to laugh. No expense has been spared. The message is carved into every detail: Dominik Grimaldi only has the very best. The music swells as the organist launches into the wedding march, and the doors swing wide. George Larson appears first, holding out his hand to the daughter he sold into slavery

Everyone kept quite in the church, considering I didn't know half of the people there at the wedding, I was disappointed no one caused a scene that demanded the wedding to be stopped “Alright then, we may continue “, the priest announced and Damon and I groaned in disappointment “Do you Damon Kingsley; Take Layla Jones to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold, from that day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you apart?

I shrugged, sure that James had told her all there was to know. "I'm just glad you finally did it." I sighed, "Can I tell you something Zara?" "Of course!" "Don't tell anyone. Not even your mother." I made her promise. "Okay, what is it?" she whispered. Somehow I found myself whispering too, "Hannah and I are still married." "What?!" She said a little loudly and repeated it in a whisper as I shushed her. "How is this even possible?" I briefly explained what happened.
