"Welcome everyone. Seungwan and Joohyun have chosen you, those special and important to them, to witness and celebrate the beginning of their life together. Today, as they join in marriage, they also create a new bond and new sense of family - one that will undoubtedly include all who are present here today." The officiant greeted as the opening for the ceremony.  Everyone were already gathered in their seats,eyes focus infront. 

He cleared his throat before proceeding to the reading. As he do so,silence filled up the hall. 

"True marriage is more than simply joining two persons together through the bonds of matrimony. It is also the union of two hearts and the blending of two families. It lives on the love you give each other and never grows old, but also thrives on the joy of each new day.

Marriage is, and should be, an expression of love. May you always be able to talk things over, to confide in each other, to laugh with each other, to enjoy life together, and to also share those moments of quiet and peace, when the day is done.

May you be blessed with a lifetime of happiness and a home ofwarmth and understanding."

 

Joohyun tilted her head at the woman next to her as the officiant continue his reading.

She never felt this same feelings before. This warmth radiated from their interlocked hands that makes her felt cozy inside is something new to her. The way Wendy smile at her whenever their eyes met. The way she gives her hands a gentle squeeze whenever she felt her hands tremble a bit because of nervousness. The way she looks at her.

She suddenly felt important. 

Felt loved. 

Her stomach,unexpectedly doing summersault. Her heart pounding erratically that she's afraid it will eventually jump off her body. Her face-though it's not really obvious because of her make-up she knows it's already spreading red. 

Wendy looks innocent in everyone's eyes yet Joohyun knows she's something more than an innocent woman. She's beyond that. She's the type of person that every guys and girls could've ever dream of. She's kind,beautiful and perfect human beings. Too precious that Joohyun sometimes wonder if she's really the best choice to be Wendy's partner in life,she's nothing compare to the blonde.

She's just Bae Joohyun,nothing special,nothing interesting,just her.

 

"Do you Seungwan "the officiant begins "....accept Joohyun as your lifemate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for her in times of plenty, as well as times of need, to soothe her in times of pain, and to support her in all endeavors, big and small, for as long as you both shall live?" 

"I do"Wendy answered without hesitation as she bored her eyes infront. 

Joohyun was a little taken aback by the latter's action,directly giving her response without such hesitation. She didn't expect Wendy to be this confident especially towards this topic, if she's going to use their previous talked as her basis,it's undoubtedly a huge changes of her.

"Do you Joohyun,accept Seungwan as your lifemate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for her in times of plenty, as well as times of need, to soothe her in times of pain, and to support her in all endeavors, big and small, for as long as you both shall live?"

The officiant voice snap Joohyun out of her reverie. She shifted her eyes back and forth as if panicking about something. Maybe,due of her nervousness that she started to feel a little bit lightheaded and couldn't think straight. 

Deafening silence engulf the wedding hall. Everyone were stiff,their heart racing faster and faster in every second as they hold their breath while nervously waiting for Joohyun's answer.

Joohyun paused. She open but immediately shut it close. 

Wendy felt worried as she notice Joohyun's bothered condition. She thought everything was perfectly handled and Joohyun was already fine with this set-up. She's the placid one between them talking about this marriage things but now Wendy was already doubting about it. 

Joohyun isn't totally ready to do it.

First,she's acting nervous earlier. Second,Wendy isn't oblivious that she's lost in her deep thoughts as the ceremony proceeding. And now,she's bothered about something. 

Might be about the wedding. 

With a deep sigh,Wendy reached to hold Joohyun's hand again and gently squeeze it-the action was enough to catch the brunette's attention. 

Joohyun's forehead creases. Her eyes couldn't stay still to look at her as if she's trying to avoid her gaze and her lips jolted up a bit forming a small pout. 

And she thought,Joohyun is the brave and serene one between them but now she figure out that Joohyun is still human. She could be weak and vulnerable sometimes. 

"If you can't do it,we can cancel this wedding"Wendy uttered in a gentle voice. She look at her with a calm and steady gaze. As if telling her that it's okay if you don't want to do it,I'll understand.

Joohyun stared back at her. She's now looking directly into her eyes but Wendy still notice the bothered and contemplation plastered on her face. 

Their eyes never leaving each other. Wendy wanted Joohyun to feel at ease instead of worrying much about this wedding. Joohyun help her out when she's the one experiencing this state and Wendy wanted to returned the favor. She wanted to comfort her not to stress her out. 

"Ms. Bae?"the officiant carefully called out. Both Joohyun and Wendy snap their head back at him"Is there a problem? Do you want me to repeat it?"he asked. 

Wendy tilted her head back at Joohyun and Joohyun did the same afterward. 

The blonde give her a nod as if telling her to do what her heart says. Before flashing her a small smile,reassuring her. 

As soon as they both faces back the altar, Wendy suddenly fellt Joohyun's hand slowly intertwining with her own. Her grip tighten a bit but not too tight to hurt Wendy. It feels as if,she's asking for some strength and confidence from her. She tried to close her eyes feeling the familiar soft touch of Joohyun's hand on her.

 

If I'm not the right person for you,then you deserve someone better. 

 

 "Do you Joohyun,accept Seungwan as your lifemate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for her in times of plenty, as well as times of need, to soothe her in times of pain, and to support her in all endeavors, big and small, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant uttered for the second time.

 

I'll understand if you say'no'. I'll not pressure you. 

 

There's a paused and Wendy eventually felt deaf of the dead silence. 

She open her eyes and glance back at the woman next to her. And to her surprise,Joohyun was also looking at her. But this time,her look seems different from earlier. Though the look of contemplation is still present it's not enough to wash away the fond look now glistening in her eyes. 

Joohyun smile at her. Not the usual simple smile but the genuine one. 

 

"Your worrying that much. Thinking about nonsense things will just put you in much trouble,unnie.

Think about the bright side. Think about Wendy being the person your going to be with for the rest of your life. Think about marrying her was the best choice you could've ever done in your life and think about her being the person who will always be there by your side and never leave you"

 

"I do"

Wendy never been this so happy in her life. Hearing Joohyun's voice saying the words I do left her in the state of astonishment. Her heart jump in too much happiness and excitement. It feels like she just won the grand prize in some prestigious competition and that she couldn't contain herself but smile.

She don't know why she's reacting like this. It just felt something different. Something worth appreciating. Something that is worth to celebrate about. 

The bright smile never leave her lips as she stared at Joohyun. They're both smiling like an idiot with teary eyes. 

 

If you're not the right person for me,then I'll make you the only one. 

 

"May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other

Seungwan,please repeat after me..."

 

"I Seungwan ,give you Joohyun this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day." Wendy takes Joohyun's hand,repeat the vows as she slip the ring on Joohyun's finger.

 

"Joohyun repeat after me..."

 

"I Joohyun,give you Seungwan this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness.
