"Isabella January, I take thee to be my wife, to possess one another and to take care of one another, from now on forever; in times of trouble and gladness, in times of abundance and lack, and in times of abundance, in good health and in sickness, to love and cherish one another, until death do us part."
"Alfred H, I take thee to be my husband, to have one another and to keep one another from now on forever; in times of trouble and gladness, in times of abundance and lack, in good health and in sickness, to love and cherish one another, until death do us part."
After that the two brides pin the ring to their respective ring fingers.
"You are legal to be a married couple. Please the groom kiss the bride,"
°°°°°°
Wedding day is the day we start to surrender ourselves completely to the person we choose. On that day, we are no longer alone, starting to be a package with our partner. We will hope forever with our partner.
Marriage is like a chain of gold rings, beginning with a ray of light and ending with eternity. What is greater for two human souls, than to feel that they are united for life, to strengthen one another in all work, to lean upon one another in all sorrow, he said, to serve one another in unspeakable silent memories of the last farewell.
But the above does not apply to the marriage I have been in. In the witness by the Pastor and both parents and extended family, I made the sacred promise of marriage so that it was declared valid.
At a glance, the tip of my eyes caught the smiles that were accompanied by tears from both my parents after I finished saying the sacred promise of marriage.
I know they are not sad but the joy of watching their beloved daughter give up the single moment that now stands at the altar of marriage with my chosen future husband, who certainly keeps something.
The Mansion
"Darling you are so beautiful" Mama amazed me while researching my appearance from toe to head. Mama's treatment is like the police who are interrogating. I smiled at what Mama said.
Papa slowly pulled my hand to sit on the bed, I complied. "Princess Papa is very pretty wearing this white dress," My father also praised the beauty I have.
I can only widen the smile of how a bride in general feels. If only they knew my heart at this moment, maybe this marriage would not let them. This was my choice and I had already convinced both my parents and my two handsome sisters to choose the man who was currently standing opposite me.
"Hmm so all this time your daughter wasn't pretty?" I'm a little bit pouting.
Haha
Papa same Mama chuckles. The laughter of my parents made my heart warm for a moment. Suddenly the knock on the door stopped Papa's laughter as Mama turned out it was Mischa's youngest sister.
"Pa, Ma it's time for us to leave" Mischa said, telling him that the church service was only 30 minutes away. "What a beautiful sister, hmm if I wasn't Big Brother I'd date" Mischa joked to me, yes she also admired the beauty I had.
"Hmm but if so Brother also does not want to tuh, still a snot child has thought of dating," I said to Mischa while pinching the face of her slap.
"Where's your brother?" ask Mama who certainly asked the whereabouts of Sister number three named Moses, the successor of the January Group.
"Sister is waiting in the car" said Mischa.
We also immediately came out of the magnificent mansion that belonged to both my parents. From a distance we saw the figure of a handsome man, dashing and a little cold leaning his body in a car that had been decorated with ribbons, which would lead us to the Church.
My brother Moses just looked without saying a word to me, yes My brother is very irritable to speak. It was a long way off when we were kids because we were twins.
We entered the car driven by Moses. The car drove by standard, yes the church where the blessing is not far from the Mansion. The car stopped in front of the church building. I got out of the car with Mama's help.
I can see that in the Church building it has been filled by family, friends and congregations. I took a deep breath, trying to calm you down. This nervousness haunts my confidence.
Papa gave me his arm to embrace. Yes Papa who accompanies me to the altar of marriage to be handed over to the bridegroom who first stood there.
"Dear reflexes" Papa whispered to me. I'm sure Papa can feel my nervousness.
For a moment I glanced at Papa. That happy smile made my nervousness fade a little but not completely disappear. However, this procession is so sacred and will be once in a lifetime, that was my promise in the past.
I returned a smile no less happy, it was all I did for the happiness of the man who was accompanying me with affection.
We go according to the rules. Sharing that smile is what shows everyone that we are so happy. I can catch the praises of the congregation, they say I am very beautiful, and no less Papa also gets praise from them. Even though it is old but Papa's good looks do not fade.
It was time for Papa to hand me over to the bridegroom, only to respond with a smile. I dare not look at my future husband. I hope this attitude is not suspicious.
At the time of the procession of the sacred vows of marriage, inevitably I looked at the face of my future husband. I admit the handsome charm of my husband, his good looks are different thin with my brother Moses. So our gazes met in silence, and this heart was unceasingly beating.
After the Reverend said it was legitimate and the groom had to kiss the bride, there my heart wanted to be removed. How could that have happened. My nervousness I can't stand it so it makes my legs tremble, almost want to overlap if I'm not in the current state. My husband stepped closer and closer, I gulped in disbelief. Without saying he landed the civman in my bwbir with savage, it made me want to scream but could not because entangled in the silence.
"What to civm in bwbir?" my hiss was deep in heart, eager to slap that mouth. He took my first civman that I had been taking care of as best I could but in an instant it all just happened and was witnessed by hundreds of people, including my parents. Did he forget about the deal? I really wanted to disappear from this sacred place but it was impossible.
The applause stopped the wolf so that my face might already be like a boiled crab, I could only bow with my heart unceasingly beating fast.
°°°°°°
Papa same Mama hugged us both and provided advice that makes this chest like a stone chunk thrown.
"Today, it finally came. The moment we had to see her wrapped up in a beautiful dress, that was her wedding dress. Our little girl has grown up. And having made this sacred promise of marriage, you are now his guardian. Anticipate us. Let's tie your hands to him. Please do not tell her heart, for it is hard for her to leave us and serve you. Don't hurt his heart because it means it will hurt us. He we raise with all our bodies, to be the passenger of our hope in the future, to lift our honor and our dignity. His devotion to the husband will be a reward for us. But now we have to leave it to you. We don't mind because it means wake up our daughter's honor. If you are not pleased with his shortcomings, remind him in a good way, please do not hurt him, again do not hurt him."
The advice that Papa gave to my husband was heartbreaking when I heard it, but I did not know what my cold husband was responding to. I just got a soft nod from him. Without feeling this clear circle rolling down my face, my heart could not bear to hear that fine baritone voice. What makes this heart throb even more, hurts when I see the clear rounders in Papa's eyes.
"happy. That's what my mom feels right now. Mama can't say much because this happiness trumps everything. Happy new life to you both. My daughter bow down and serve your husband as she should because it is the duty of a wife. And my son-in-law look after and protect your wife, if she has any fault, rebuke her with understanding." Mama told us with a smile and a cry. Really I was increasingly made unable to breathe fresh air, so stifling.
"Yes Ma. I'll take care of my wife like Mama and Papa said because I love her so much,"
My eyes were round hearing the statement from my husband. This man dares to speak nonsense in a sacred place. Was he toying with this sacred place with his lying words? I grimaced to hear his lie. He instantly whizzed through me, with a glance maybe I threw away my face.
Papa the same Mama smiled relieved to hear that sweet mouth. Even Mama rubbed my husband's face lovingly. Even I myself never did that to him because it couldn't have happened.
