"Congratulations; you may now exchange the rings," said the bishop. Even though it was just an engagement, they had made sure to vow in the presence of the god.

A box was provided to both of them by the little children on their side. Firstly, Orion got closer to Helle and reached for her delicate hands. The choir hummed the melody as he placed the gold rose ring on her ring finger.

Helle could feel her shaky breath and the butterflies in her stomach. To mask her, she held on to her subtle smile.

Next, Helle held Orion's palm and rested her hand underneath his. Taking the ring, she slowly pushed it onto his ring finger. His hands were warm and larger compared to hers.

'Clap clap!' A round of applause reverberated throughout the hall as the couple exchanged their rings. It was unheard of for the men to have an engagement ring as well, but not for Orion Lennox, as his hand was bejeweled with a ring of promise.
