Cosmic being like us who have lived for billions of years usually hold a grandiose event and invite everyone they know for the ceremony. They take a oath before the cosmos as witness to connect two names and vow to spend their lives together as eternity.
In our case we are going to swear upon this same vow but the witness will be our souls or more specifically a part of our souls which will be merged together and live inside us. I agreed upon this as this sounded more romantic than taking the stupid cosmos as our witness.
The wedding will be held on the full moon night of this millennium's most auspicious date, which is actually tonight since Milky way is exactly in a straight line with Anatatos galaxy on this day. Though these date didn't mean much to me but Mei was very serious about this, which actually made me kinda happy hehe.
The venue will be on my spaceship's observatory which is the most beautiful place which I could remember since it was made to be so.
Decorations and clothes were done by Mei because she said that my choices were 'bland'. Ahem.
Soon the night came and the moon was hanging high over the night sky. Mei and I walked towards my spaceship which was in it's miniaturized form parked near the valley where Mei's cottage was located.
We entered the ship and walked through the door which teleported us to top floor of the ship. I was surprised by the decoration. Event though I built this place with my own two hand I couldn't recognise it myself. Different shaped line were drawn on the glass defining all the constellations of the eastern starry sky. These lines together glowed and emanated a mystic and otherworldly feeling.
As a child of stars there is nothing more beautiful for me than the natural stars. And....of course my wife.
I thought as I glanced at Mei who was looking at me with her beautiful smile and shiny stars.
She was wearing royal blue qipao with phoenix engravings which highlighted her mature figure and her signature phoenix hairpin was glowing with a mystical blue color. Her eyes were heterochromatic today as one were the usual purple color and the other was aqua blue. Her every movement were like nature's rhythm lively yet elegant. Her look were flawless as if cast of jade. Her beauty made all the light in the room come towards her. This was real beauty.
"How is it? Is it beautiful?" she asked a bit embarrassed by my intense gaze.
"It's beautiful Mei...but you are still more pleasant to look at." I was a bit embarrassed too being caught staring so I honestly told her my thoughts.
Mei was a bit surprised but soon recovered and said shyly "Thank you."
I looked at the stars to determine the time and said while squinting "Let's do it quickly or the auspicious time will end."
My words made Mei control her emotions as we both walked towards the elevated platform at the center of observatory.
We bit our finger together and poured a drop of our blood in the glass of wine placed in the center of stage. My blood was rose-gold and with a hint of black while her was bright aqua blue like purest oceanic water. We formed similar seals at the same time before chanting some complex chants which caused a bright light to emerge from our hearts, mine being pinkish-puple and hers aqua blue with hints of scarlet red. These were our souls. Or specifically a very small part of our soul.
Our souls started to merge under our guidance and flew into the glass after fusion. The glass shakes for a few second before glowing with white light.
Then we came forward and poured the wine into two separate cups and handed them to each other.
The cups in our hands vibrated as if to say 'continue'.
I looked at her and nodded with a serious expression.
We lifted the cups in our and said ceremoniously :-
"I - Xue Jiu Yuan , the child of stars takes"
"I - Celestial Gu Mei "
"As my eternal companion and wife with our souls and space-time as the witness"
"Through better or worse Through sickness or health"
"Until death do us apart"
"Take you- Xue Jiu Yuan as my husand"
Then we drank the cup of wine together at the same time. Void vibrated as many stars exploded, galaxies shook and constellations changed. It was festive enough to let everyone know that two cosmic beings got married, the impact reached to every corner of cosmos.
Many were curious to know who those two were as cosmic beings always hold very grand weddings to let everyone know and show off but this time there was no prior information. Only some who had knowledge of astrology were able to decipher that it was Celestial Maiden Gu Mei.
Many were surprised, some were devastated and some were even angry.
But we didn't had the time to think about those things.I stared into her eyes and felt my connection with her grow stronger. Most of the time the process of soul merging don't always succeed but when it does it always causes backlash which we were ready to deal with. "It seems that our souls really were fated to be together, wife." I said as I smiled before leaning forward to kiss her.
Mei was so happy that she didn't even care about those trivial things and we kissed passionately.
