Wearing my tie, I was currently at the tavern office. "Looking handsome Master," Ele said as she giggled. "Hmm, Boss where is Johnson" Isoc asked as he laid on the couch.
My smile stiffened "He has some things to deal with, give him some time". Isoc looked confused then nodded. "Master, would you like to look at the three types of VRM's?" Rose asked as she stood next to me near the mirror. "Later, now we prepare for the wedding haha!" I laughed as I replied back.
Knock Knock, someone knocked on the door before entering, "Uncle, everything is ready" Rain said as she was followed by her younger brother Viktor. I smiled, they looked cute wearing this type of dress. "Let us go" I walked outside followed by the others.
Piano and violin playing in the background, the entire group was ready sitting outside, I opened the tavern door and walked on the red carpet followed by the kids and Rose. After reaching the stage, Rain and Viktor stood on the side while Rose took a seat down. I stood in anticipation for Emma to appear, moments passed and finally, Emma appeared followed by Kate and Angela.
"Beautiful…" I muttered as I looked at the scene, each step she took made time slow down, covered in her veil she walked with a smile underneath, Kate and Angela were smiling behind her wearing a black dress.
She finally reached the opposite side of me, I looked at her with a smile, Yama stood up from his chair and went in between us before holding a book in his hand. "Cough! Dearly beloved, we meet here today to witness a sacred ceremony: the union of Emma and Ace…" I looked at Emma with a smile.
Yama kept speaking "I will now share a short reading on soulmates from author Richard Bach: "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who were pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life."
I felt warm, 29 years living a hopeless life, a life without purpose… "I solemnly bear witness to these matrimonial proceedings. I will now finalize the sacred covenant you shall both enter into on this day." Yama spoke as he looked at both of us before nodding.
"Emma and Ace, I invite you to express your sacred vows to one another. Please face each other as you declare these vows before the Universe and in the presence of your family and friends."
Emma looked at me smiling, "I, Emma, take you, Ace, to be my lawfully wedded husband. I promise to keep you by my side through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to stay true to you, honor you, and love you for the rest of my days until death do us part."
I froze on the spot, what is this feeling inside? "Ace now is the time for your promise," Yama said as he looked at me. I cleared my mind and looked at Emma.
A smile appeared and I said "I, Ace, take you, Emma, to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to keep you by my side through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to stay true to you, honor you, and love you for the rest of my days until death do us part."
Emma smiled, Yama coughed once more before continuing "Ace, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to support her completely and love her unconditionally, so long as you both shall live?"
I looked at Emma "I do"
Yama looked at Emma "Emma, do you take Ace to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to support him completely and love him unconditionally, so long as you both shall live?"
Emma looked at me "I do"
Everyone sitting down looked excited, some were giggling including Hope and Rose. "Hmph, It is now time to exchange the rings. The circle formed by each ring is a symbol of your love and eternal commitment to each other. May these rings remind you always of these sacred promises you've made to each other today in the company of your family and friends."
Yama looked at me "Ace, you will go first. Please repeat after me as you place the ring on the hand of your loved one."
I repeated Yama words "I, Ace, give you, Emma this ring as a symbol of my love, commitment, and the eternal vows we have made today to each other. With this ring, I thee wed."
Emma nodded and repeated the same process "I, Emma, give you, Ace this ring as a symbol of my love, commitment, and the eternal vows we have made today to each other. With this ring, I thee wed."
Yama continued as he was reading from the book "I pronounce you, Ace and Emma as husband and wife", he looked at both of us who were waiting for him, "Hmph, What do you want?" Yama looked confused.
Everyone laughed, Yu stood up and shouted "You may now kiss the bride"
I laughed and took off the veil before kissing Emma on the lips.
Clap! Clap! Everyone clapped, I took Emma hand and walked down the stage before going towards a car prepared to drive me to the house. "Congratulations!" Angela shouted as both Sophie and Henry clapped hard. I nodded and smiled, everyone began gathering around us and congratulating us but I avoided them and ran to the car with Emma who was laughing.
Reaching the car, I opened the door for Emma before entering the driver's seat and driving back home.I carried Emma from the car to my room and placed her on the bed. This was a first for me and a first for Emma but I felt happy, "Come here" Emma gestured me to come to her…
The day went by and after an intense day with my wife, I never slept, I watched Emma sleep on my arm until the morning. "This is life…" I murmured as I looked at the sunrise outside.
After three hours Emma woke up and looked at me with a smile as she laid on the bed. "Morning," I said to her as I kissed her on the head before getting off the bed.
Knock Knock! "Master, we can leave now," Rose said from behind the door. "We will be getting ready now, tell the kids, Kate, Johnson, Isoc, Yu, and Angela to get ready.
"Master, they are all ready" Rose replied, I smiled and dressed up, Emma also dressed up and held my hands before we left the house. Rose was sitting in the driver seat, "Get on Master and Mistress".
Emma smile became awkward, I laughed and took her to the car before sitting beside her. "Master, this is the information on all of the VRM's" Rose handed me a paper before driving the car to the runway.
I looked at it and smiled, I will use this to introduce the VRM's to the public. "Good work Rose," I said to her as I held Emma's hand and looked out of the car window.
