Chapter 457: First Kiss As A Married Couple
With Jerome Brunton standing by Talia’s side and Jordan standing by Arthur’s side, the Archbishop started the wedding ceremony.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to..."
It went on and Talia felt her heart pounding once more. The Archbishop asked the congregation once more for any opposition for them to get married.
After that, the Archbishop asked both Arthur and Talia if they will take the other as their wife/ husband and both said "I will."
Talia couldn’t get her voice out at first and she cleared her throat to speak.
After that, the Archbishop got Talia’s hand from her grandfather’s hand and passed it to Arthur’s. Talia felt the coldness in her grandpa’s hand and looked at him. She could see he got emotional, but he composed himself.
Aww... Grandpa is amazing!
After that, holding her hand Arthur repeated the wedding vows.
" I, Arthur Frederick Boswell Sinclair, take thee, Talia MaryAnn Whiteford Brunton, to be my wedded 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 do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."
It is the vow everyone repeats on their wedding, and something Arthur had heard a handful of times. He never felt anything then. But standing in front of Talia in a white dress, holding her hand, as he said those words, it hit him differently.
His voice trembled and those simple words were hard to pronounce. He almost swallowed wrongly and his heart was racing.
