The 'wedding' took place at a beautiful, ornate building. Song Luli gazed at the tall ceilings of the halls, fascinated.
Long Jie picked her up from work, where she took a half-day off for this occasion.
It took three hours for approval of registration after applying and providing all of their information.
Afterward, Song Luli and Long Jie stood next to each other to take three photos.
Long Jie wore a black suit; his Auburn hair sleeked to the side. Song Luli wore a white dress that ended at her kneecaps, hugging her waist tightly. When the photo snapped, both of their expressions were neutral, soft. It didn't reveal happiness or dread. It simply meant business.
There was no celebration after. But it was solely two people registering for marriage in his household registry office and echoing standard vows.
Her brother was present.
