Chapter 1851: Wedding

4 months later...

The wind blew, carrying the scent of flowers and petals in the air. Faces painted with smiles as everyone’s eyes focused on the altar, witnessing two hearts coming together.

"To my wife,

When I’m writing this letter, I have to stare at a blank page for hours. Why? Because three words could not fill an entire page: I love you. And for a while, I was thinking, wasn’t that enough? After all, those three words were invented and learned to express... love.

But I was silly.

Of course, three words are clear, but not an explanation. Because as I stared at those three words, I understood the meaning of writing our vows. It’s not just about words of promise, but also a moment to express our hearts in the eyes of the Lord, in the eyes of His creations, and in the eyes of everyone here today.

And when I started thinking about you, I couldn’t stop writing everything about you: the resolve in those eyes, the kindness in your words, the beauty of your breath; the warmth of your hand, your smile, your silliness, and everything.

That’s when I realized I’ve always been silly, and that wasn’t the first time.

Before you, my life had always been the same: I was arrogant, overly confident, and lacked ambition. I was living because I had to. Happiness, contentment, or anything like that was never in the picture. But then, you came, and everything changed.

Just like my silliness in writing this vow, my silliness almost cost me you.

Thankfully, you gave me the chance to love you again. To show you that I can do better, and to prove that I am capable of love; I am capable of loving and being loved. With that in mind, I realized that this letter isn’t just to the person I’d swear to live with for all eternity.

It’s a vow to my world.
