This voice! Anna can feel a breath on her ear. Without even turning around, she knew who it was.
"Alex...."
"Hmm? See, I'm here with you," he said in a whisper which was also in a mischievous tone.
Anna turned around saw him wearing the white coat with blue stripes. If one takes notice of them, they can easily find out that they were matching, not only colors but the design also.
"Like what you see?" Anna was staring at him with her shocked and surprised eyes when she listened to what he said.
Hearing this, she blushed and chuckled. But it was Zara's turn to tell her vows, so Anna turned her attention back on the bride and groom.
"Zara, please tell us your vows." the priest said.
Zara first took Addie's hands in hers. "Addie... I have loved you since High School. You used to wear a black color hat to hide your face and I used to wait for you to remove it. Sneakily, I tagged along with you and whenever you used to remove your cap in an empty classroom, I always come to see your face."
Everyone was shocked hearing this confession! Zara loved Addie since High School!!
Even Addie himself was stunned by this sudden confession. He wasn't ready for it!
"But I never had that much strength to confess to you. Later you went away and I thought that you will remain my first crush only. But destiny had other plans for us. We met again! Maybe if your love is true and pure, you will get what you want. I love you, Addie. I promise to be with you in all your ups and downs, give birth to your children, and cherish you and our relationship in this lifetime."
A huge round of applause can be heard. Most of the time, it is the man who has beautiful vows but in case, Zara outshined!
Addie and Zara were going to exchange the ring but they heard a voice. "Wait!" Everyone turned around and saw Grandpa Jo, walking with a stick in his hands.
No one, not even Marrie and Addie reacted. Grandpa Jo went to Addie and Zara and opened up a box.
Marrie was shocked. "This..." She had seen this ring on her mother's fingers.
"This is your mother's ring. Even if we didn't marry, this was the promise ring which I gave to her. Raechal wore this till the day she lived. Now, it is your wife who needs to wear this. Take it." Grandpa Jo handed the ring box to Addie.
Addie but was confused about wheater to take it or not? But Marrie signaled him through her eyes to take it. The ring was a symbol of their precious mother.
Addie took the ring and exchanged the diamond ring which he bought with his mother's ring.
"I hope you don't mind wearing this old fashioned ring, Zara"
"Addie, I Love You and Your family. This ring belongs to my late mother in law. Giving this to me, I now fully belong to you, your family, and your world."
"Addie, Do you take Zara as your wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Zara, Do you take Addie Su as your wedded husband?"
"I do."
"In the presence of God, I pronounce you both husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Addie slowly lifted her veil and kissed softly on her lips. "I Love You...." they both whispered.
...
Anna was in tears. She never expected such a confession from Zara. Her grandmother's ring was on her fingers and it was such a happy moment.
But Alex also took an oath. 'In the future, I will make you my wife, Si. There will be ups and downs. But you will be my wife.' he smiled towards her.
Soon, everyone started going towards the yard where another celebration was going to be held. Anna and Alex walked hand in hand.
It was their hand that wasn't visible much because they walked closer to each other.
In the yard, first, the cake was cut. The smile wasn't even leaving Addie and Zara's face.
Some couples were dancing, drinking but Anna was just admiring the view.
"You love it?" Alex came with a glass of champagne.
"Yeah, it is lovely."
"Anna...." She turned towards him.
"Would you like to dance with me?"
