The crowd was silent.

After a while the wedding officiant cotinued reading the wedding ceremony script.

He turned to face Kresha before he speak,

"Kresha, thank you for your long patience, fifteen years is too long yet you did not give up on me.You're even willing to catch the bricks just to save me." Lindon paused and smiled to Kresha.

"Kresha, from this day onward, I vow to love you, to make you happy, to pamper you, to respect and to protect you.

And everytime when you feel down, I'll be the one to pull you up.

When you feel tired, I'll be your strength.

You can lean on me whenever you need someone to support you.

I will love you as long as I live, I will take away you fears, I will love you even if our hair turned gray, and I vow to stay by your side until the day I die." Lindon said.

Kresha wiped her tears, she looked at Lindon straight to his eyes before she speak.

" Lindon, I guess my fifteen years was not wasted." Kresha smiled before she continued.

"You're the man who is willing to be beaten up just for a kiss.

You're the kind of man with a bad temperament, you become angry easily, you become jealous and childish sometimes, but i find it cute tho.

Lindon, you're also the man who is full of surprises!

The man who is willing to block the bullet just to save me and the man who is willing to risk his life just to ensure my safety." Kresha pause for a moment before she continue to speak.

"And I have love you more for those negative and possitive sides of yours.

Lindon, from now on, I Kresha Tang vow to love you, to honor you, and cherish you as my husband.

I will be a good wife and a good mother to our future children.

I am willing to practice my cooking just to serve meals for you."

Lindon let out a short laugh as he wiped the tears that started to form in the corners of his eyes.

Krehsa continued her vow. "I will go with you through ups and downs.

I will be faithful to you, I won't leave you alone, and I will be on your side until the day I die."

Elder Tang wiped his tears. "Oh! She's not my little princess anymore. She is Lindon's queen from now on." He mumbled.

Elder Mo patted his bestfriend's shoulder. Both of them looked at the couple in the stage.

The wedding officiant face Lindon and speak again, " Lindon, do you take Kresha to be your wife, to live together, in the covenant of marriage?

Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor her, and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Lindon quickly replied.

The wedding officiant looked at Kresha and speak.

"I do." Kresha replied.

The ring bearer brought the ring to Kresha and Lindon's side.

Lindon took the ring and slowly put in on Kresha's finger.

" Kresha, I give this ring as a symbol of my love as it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are sorrounded by my enduring love."

Lindon slowly lifted the white veil that Kresha wear.

He smiled and stared at Kresha. "You look so beautiful!"" Lindon whispered to Kresha.

And then he slowly lowered his head with his eyes closed and kissed Kresha.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" The guests claped their hands as they watch the newly wed kissed each other.

At the reception.

All of the guests approached the newlywed one after the other.

But Kresha froze when she saw a familiar figure approaching her.

"Hi! Congratulations!" Jiron said to Kresha.

Kresha smiled. "T-thank you! I... I thought you would not come... I haven't seen you during the ceremony." Kresha replied.

Jiron smile. "I've been there but I was late." Jiron pause for a moment before he speak again. "Kresha, I wish you all the best. I am happy to see you happy." Jiron smiled.

And then he speak again as if he was reminded of something." By the way, I think this would be our last time to see each other." Jiron said with his sad voice.

Kresha knitted her brows. "Why?"

Jiron forced a smile. "I got an offer abroad as a singer, and I have accepted it. I will be there for two years and if I my career would be succeessful, I might stay there for good."

"Oh!" Kresha nodded her head and then she smiled. "Good luck to your new journey." She said.

Lindon noticed Jiron talking to Kresha.

He excused his self from the other guest and approached Kresha and Jiron.

"Hey!" Lindon greeted Jiron.

"Hey!" Jiron replied. "I've just dropped by to say my best wishes to the both of you." Jiron said.

Lindon patted Jiron's shoulder." Thanks!" He said.

Kresha excused her self to talk to the other guests.

It's only Jiron and Lindon that is left now.

"How are you?" Lindon asked Jiron when there is only the two of them.

"I'm good!" Jiron took a glass if wine from the waiter.

" And...I'm leaving the country!" Jiron said..

Lindon frooze. "Why?"

"I have an offer as a singer abroad, and I have gave it a shot." Jiron said.

"Oh! Congrats! That's a great news!"

Jiron tilted his head and looked at Lindon.

"Hey! Are you not annoyed at me now?" Jiron asked.

"Haha!" Lindon laughed. "What for?" He asked.

"You never like me before, and you always want me to go away from Kresha." Jiron replied.

"Well, Kresha is all mine now. " Lindon lifted his hand and show his wedding ring to Jiron. "So I think there's no reason to be annoyed and jealous to you anymore!" Lindon added.

"Hey! Don't be too confident! Remember this! Don't ever try to hurt Kresha, or else I will comeback and snatch her away from you!" Jiron warned Lindon.

Lindon smiled confidently, "Well, sorry , I won't give you a chance to do that! Because I will never hurt her anymore!" Lindon said.

Jiron revealed a smile on his face. "All right! I know! That is why I gave way to you." Jiron said.

Lindon did not response , he just smiled and patted Jiron's shoulder again.
