“I love you, Lily,” Ethan whispered softly, his voice filled with emotion. Without waiting for her response, he leaned in and captured her lips in a deep, fervent kiss. The love and joy swelling within him were impossible to contain. As the happiness bubbled over, he laughed softly, only to pull her close again for another kiss, his lips lingering with tenderness.

Resting his forehead against hers, Ethan gazed into her eyes, his grin widening with each passing second. But suddenly, a thought struck him, and his expression shifted as he remembered something.

“The ring!” he exclaimed, pulling back slightly. “We need to exchange rings now. But…” His brows furrowed, and a hint of panic crossed his face. “I don’t have one with me. What should we do?”

Lily chuckled, reaching into her pocket. “Don’t worry. I’ve got us covered,” she said with a playful smile, pulling out two rings.

The rings were simple yet stunningly beautiful. Ethan’s ring was a plain gold band adorned with half of a heart design, while hers mirrored his, featuring the other half of the heart. When the two rings were placed together, they formed a complete heart. Upon closer inspection, he noticed something even more special- within the hearts, their names were delicately engraved, his name on her ring and hers on his.

“They’re perfect,” Ethan murmured, awe and admiration evident in his voice as he held the rings in his hands. Gently taking Lily’s hand, he slipped the ring onto her finger, his wide grin unable to be contained. Holding out his hand eagerly, he watched as she slid the matching ring onto his finger with equal joy.

For a moment, the two of them stood there, tears of happiness brimming in their eyes as they gazed at one another. Their hands remained clasped as they looked down at the rings, the complete heart a symbol of their unity and love.

“Thank you,” Ethan said softly, his voice breaking with emotion as he leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. His eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

Lily reached up to wipe them away, shaking her head with a warm smile. “No, thank you for becoming such an important part of my life,” she replied, her voice tender and full of love.

Ethan smiled back, but his expression quickly shifted to one of mischief. He leaned in closer, clearly intending to steal another kiss when, suddenly, the deep male voice from earlier echoed through the speakers once again.

“And now, I declare you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,” the voice proclaimed.
