Goodbye, Nicholas

"Do you take thou to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part, and thereto pledge thee your faith?" The marriage officiant asked.

"I do," Sophia answered, smiling. 

"And do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part, and thereto pledge thee your faith?" The marriage officiant asked as all eyes were on the groom.

He only got silence as an answer. 

Sophia looked his way to see his wide eyes. 

"Darling?" She asked. 

Nicholas didn't say a word.

"What's wrong?" She asked worriedly, wondering if he had any doubts.
