The church resounded with loud claps as everyone cheered and clapped in excitement.
The officiant nodded. Then he spoke, "Two people in love do not live in isolation. Their love is a source of strength with which they may nourish not only each other but also the world around them. And in turn, we, their community of friends and family, have a responsibility to this couple. By our steadfast care, respect, and love, we can support their marriage and the new family they are creating today. Will everyone please rise?"
Everybody rose from their seats.
"Will you who are present here today, surround Liu Jinhai and Liang Nana in love, offering them the joys of your friendship and familial love and support them in their marriage?"
Everybody loudly said, "We will!"
Jing giggled. "I had always supported my beautiful sister-in-law."
Grandma Liu cleared her throat. "Of course, my blessings are always with them."
