Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

A kind-looking priest about 50 years old with a Bible in his hand, Sergio Holmes, went on the stage in front of Carlos and Mikayla. "Are you two ready?" Carlos and Mikayla looked at each other and nodded.

"Ms. Mikayla Salvatore, do you take this man next to you for your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love him, care for him, honor him, accept him, and remain faithful to him until death do you part?" asked Sergio.

'Will I remain faithful until death do us part?' Mikayla mused. She pursed her lips and enunciated, "I do."

"Mr. Carlos Ludwig, do you take this ma'am next to you for your lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love her, care for her, honor her, accept her, and remain faithful to her until death do you part?" asked Sergio.

Carlos replied firmly in a deep voice, "I do."

"You may exchange your wedding rings," said Sergio. Kashton and Juliet walked onto the stage and handed Carlos and Mikayla the rings. The two put the rings on each other's fingers.

'Fortunately, it is the design Carlos showed me last time. Otherwise, given his style today, he might prepare a huge diamond ring or something like that,' Mikayla thought.

"Great! In the sight of God and these witnesses, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss!" Sergio announced. As soon as his words fell, the hall was in an uproar. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to the next scene.

Carlos watched Mikayla as she lowered her head and blushed under the wedding veil. He slowly lifted the veil, revealing the shy smile on her exquisite face. Carlos lowered his head and kissed Mikayla's lips. Despite the noisy scene, it seemed that they could only see each other and hear each other's heartbeats.

Amid everyone's exclamations, colorful flower petals suddenly rained down and were blown in the wind, enveloping the happy people. After the ceremony was completed, the guests proceeded to a grand hotel downtown and were seated at the prepared banquet.

Mikayla anxiously changed her gown again. This was a champagne-colored evening gown, simpler than the previous two but still elegant.

Carlos, Mikayla, and their families toasted the guests at each table. Mikayla glanced around the banquet hall and thought, 'We will not need to eat after all this drinking. How many people exactly were invited?' After one round of toasts, Mikayla and the others were exhausted. Only Carlos was still strong.
