Chapter 402: Be Greedy In Love
The wedding ceremony commenced as the announcer declared that the bride’s father should bring his daughter into the temple’s hall.
The bridegroom, accompanied by his best man and four other attendants from both families serving as appointed witnesses, stood proudly on the dais, with the officiant presiding at the centre.
Meredith glided down the flower-strewn aisle, her hand held by her father, Lord Grey. A mix of happiness and melancholy was etched on her father’s face as she, his only daughter, was about to become someone else’s wife and no longer solely under his care.
All eyes were fixed on the radiant bride, adorned in a brocaded gown and veil in a soft off-white hue, as she approached the bridegroom, who stood tall and dignified to receive her.
Speech began, vows were solemnly exchanged before the presiding officiant, and wedding rings were placed, sealing their union.
"Kiss the bride!" Eric and the other knights cheered, and the attendees echoed them.
Standing before Alex, Meredith blushed deeply as she awaited the precious moment. The knight, though, seemed a tad nervous to deliver his first kiss as her husband.
"Come on! What are you waiting for? She’s your official wife already!" Jeremiah, Alex’s youngest brother, nudged the bridegroom with his elbow.
Urged on, Alex stepped forward. Gently, he raised his hand and lifted the veil, revealing Meredith’s beauty akin to a summer rose in full bloom. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of her. The cheering voices around them faded, and his focus narrowed solely on her captivating presence.
He tenderly grasped her hands and whispered, "Mer... Thank you for accepting me as your husband. I will forever cherish and love you with all my heart."
"I, too, will forever cherish and love you, my dear husband," Meredith replied radiantly.
