Chapter 485: Reiner - His Insecurities
It was a sudden switch, but he was back to his calm and collected self again. I heaved a sigh of relief before I turned to offer him a smile of thanks. Self-restraint was something that we had to practice a lot more when we were together. It was hard to keep his hands off me and vice versa.
The wedding was held in one of the most popular churches on the island and I was decently surprised to find that it resembled the common church weddings that I had been to with the ceremony part happening inside of the church followed by a party held in the church’s courtyard outdoors.
We headed to our seat in the church as we waited for the bride to be led in by her father. The groom was already positioned in front of the altar with the priest while he waited for the arrival of his bride. It was such a romantic scene that I couldn’t help but feel touched. The way the groom looked slightly nervous yet impatient to see his bride melted my heart. It was clear to me that he was very in love with her. It was such a stark contrast to the scene and atmosphere that I witnessed at Lucien’s wedding and many other weddings that I had been to.
Suddenly, the large double doors of the church opened, and the bride was led in by her father. Her minimal white wedding dress suited her very well and her wavy blonde hair made her look like a little fairy princess. Couple that with the beautiful white and light pink that decorated the church all around her and the scene was straight out of a sweet fairytale. The way she smiled and kept her eyes on the groom told me all that I needed to know about how she was feeling. Although I didn’t know them, I prayed so intensely for their happiness and love to last forever.

Reiner stood next to Natalia with her hand in his as he observed her excited reaction to the bride entering the church with her father. Probably because of their busy schedule at work, it was rare for him to see Natalia in such a bright and excited mood. While Natalia focused her attention on the wedding ceremony in the church, Reiner focused his attention on her.
“I think she looks so pretty. Don’t you think?” Natalia turned to asked him with a big smile on her face before she turned back to pay attention to the bride and groom.
“Yeah...” Reiner replied vaguely with his eyes glued to the back of Natalia’s head.
Natalia clapped and cheered along with the other in the crowd when the groom kissed the bride after exchanging their vows. The couple exchanged rings and did all the normal things that they were supposed to do while Reiner watched Natalia laugh and smile at the sight. Personally, he wasn’t a big fan of ceremonies of any sort, weddings included. That was why he didn’t mind that Natalia and himself didn’t go through a proper and standard wedding ceremony in a church like this.
