Chapter 1118 Wedding Vows
Wedding scene at the ranch.
Shao Yun rode the apocalypse horse "Famine" and galloped towards the pasture.
When they were almost at the pasture, Shao Yun dismounted and first raised his hand to gesture towards the hidden corners around the pasture.
The next second, three apocalypse horses with different shapes, "Plague", "War" and "Death", emerged from the shadows. They neighed at Shao Yun as if reporting their work.
Shao Yun waved his hand, indicating that the mission was over. The three horses, including the very thick "Famine", nodded humanely and disappeared into the woods outside the ranch.
After dismissing the Apocalypse Horse, Shao Yun changed out of the "Apocalypse Legend" suit and put on the suit that Qianzhi had customized for him, turning himself back into the groom who was about to welcome his wedding.
When Shao Yun walked into the wedding scene again, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He raised his hand apologetically and apologized to the guests who had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry, everyone, I just had to deal with a small matter temporarily, so I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time."
"Mr. Shao Yun is back!" Marani was the first to come forward with a smile. She pointed at Ying who was not far away and said:
"You're finally back! Lord Vulcan has been back for quite some time now. Look over there, the bride is waiting impatiently!"
Shao Yun looked in the direction that Malani pointed, and saw Ying wearing a white wedding dress, standing in front of Yuan Shang. When she saw him return, a gentle smile instantly bloomed on her face.
Then, under the gazes and kind laughter of everyone, Shao Yun quickly walked to Ying's side and gently held her hand.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Shao Yun said in a low voice, his tone full of guilt.
Ying shook her head and responded with a smile: "It's okay, I'm glad you're back."
The two smiled at each other, with only each other in their eyes.
Then, Shao Yun turned to look at the host Yuan Shang, who was already ready, and said in a firm tone, "Come on, Mr. Host, it's time to start the wedding oath."
Seeing the newlyweds finally gathered, Yuanshang cleared his throat, picked up the process sheet in his hand (written by Shao Yunnian and Paimeng), and announced loudly to all the guests present in a full, enthusiastic and powerful tone.
"Dear guests, dear friends! Now, we will officially proceed to the next step of Mr. Shao Yun and Miss Ying's wedding - the oath ceremony!"
"Let us witness this couple's commitment to each other!"
Afterwards, Yuan Shang put away his previous enthusiasm, his expression became particularly sacred, and he slowly turned to Shao Yun in a solemn and earnest tone, and began to ask the most core questions in the wedding.
"Mr. Shao Yun, please look at your bride, Miss Ying, and answer my questions carefully."
"Are you willing to marry Ying? No matter whether the future brings us wealth or poverty, sickness or health, prosperity or adversity, you will always love her, comfort her, respect her, and protect her, for the rest of your life, and never leave her, until the end of time (the original word is 'life')?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun's gaze fell on Ying's bright golden eyes.
Those eyes were full of anticipation for the future, reflecting his own figure, and also hiding every bit of their journey together.
From the seaside of Mond to the ranch of Nata, from strangers to now standing at the wedding scene, although it has not been smooth sailing, this is what life is all about.
He nodded vigorously and swore, "I do!"
When Ying heard the answer, a faint light flashed in her golden eyes and the smile on her lips became brighter.
Yuan Shang nodded with satisfaction, then turned sideways to Ying, his tone still sacred and solemn, and gently reminded:
“Do you take Shao Yun as your lawful husband?”
"For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or health, in joy or sorrow, you will love him without reservation and be faithful to him until the end of time."
Ying looked into Shao Yun's crystal blue eyes and responded as expected: "I do."
Then, Yuan Shang followed the marriage process on the list, slowly turned around, faced all the guests present, and asked in a loud voice:
"Excuse me, guests, is there anyone here who objects to the marriage between Mr. Shao Yun and Miss Ying, and thinks they should not be married?"
"If so, please bring it up now. Otherwise, from now on, you need to respect their marriage and their choices."
As soon as these words came out, Malani, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but laugh secretly.
This question is simply a waste of time.
The guests present were all good friends of Shao Yun and Ying, and they all sincerely wished the newlyweds well. Who would be so bored as to stop this highly anticipated wedding?
(Mavika: I... No, Mavika, you have to hold it in!!!)
Yuan Shang saw that the scene was completely silent and no one raised any objections to the marriage, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He looked down at the process sheet in his hand, cleared his throat, and continued according to the process:
"Since no one here objects, then please have the bride and groom exchange rings, turning this promise into a token of their lifelong companionship."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yun suddenly coughed twice, raised his left hand with a ring on it, and pointed at Ying's hand which also had a ring on it.
"Ahem, Yuanshang, the rings have already been worn on Ying and mine."
Yuanshang looked at the shining rings on the two people's hands, scratched his head in embarrassment, and quickly looked down at the process sheet in his hand, ready to skip this process and move on to the next one.
"Oh, then I will (original words: in the name of God, but, Yuan Shang doesn't believe in gods)... Never mind, let's skip this and move on to the next one!"
He gathered himself, raised his head again, and announced loudly: "Mr. Shao Yun, you can kiss the bride now! Let us use applause to witness the sweetest moment of this newlyweds!"
When Shao Yun heard this, he stretched out a hand and gently put his arm around Ying's waist.
He looked down at Ying's flushed cheeks and asked softly, "What do you think of this wedding? Even though there were some minor setbacks and it was a bit messy."
Ying pursed her lips, raised her head, shook it slightly, and expressed her truest feelings with great sincerity.
"How should I put it? I feel so happy... Even if there were some minor setbacks, even if the process wasn't perfect, as long as I'm with you and everyone's blessings, it's already the best wedding ever."
Shao Yun looked at the sincerity and dependence in her eyes, and said nothing more. He just slowly lowered his head, and under the gaze of all the guests present, his lips gently touched Ying's lips.
The kiss was gentle and tentative at the beginning, but soon, Shao Yun's hand slowly stroked the back of Ying's head, and gently applied force to pull her closer to him.
Ying's cheeks were burning hot. She stood on tiptoe slightly, and gently grasped the lapel of Shao Yun's suit with her fingers. She did not shy away at all, but instead tried hard to respond to his kiss.
After all, the two of them have been through so many ups and downs together, and she is no longer the ignorant and shy girl she used to be.
……
At the same time, at the second-floor window of the ranch house, Kong was holding his niece Xi, leaning over slightly, overlooking the lively scene of the wedding downstairs through the window glass.
The baby's chubby little hands were grabbing the empty collar, blinking his big eyes curiously, looking at Shao Yun and Ying hugging and kissing each other in the crowd downstairs, and making small babbling sounds from his mouth.
Kong patted Xi's back gently, but his eyes were fixed on his sister Ying.
Looking at Ying wearing a white wedding dress, her face filled with an unprecedented happy smile, she hugged Shao Yun tightly and accepted everyone's blessings.
His eyes unconsciously turned slightly red, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
There is relief, there is touching feeling, and there is also an indescribable reluctance.
"Wow, my sister is getting married... As her brother, I'm so touched..."
Having said that, a somewhat "improper" thought quietly emerged in his mind.
From now on, my sister Ying's first choice for beating people up will no longer be me, right?
……
After the kiss, Ying slowly lowered her tiptoes, her cheeks still slightly flushed.
She looked into Shao Yunjing's blue eyes, and a different kind of throbbing arose in her heart.
That kiss under everyone's gaze felt more like an indescribable feeling than usual, and more than when he proposed to me on the sea.
"I always feel that there is an indescribable feeling here compared to usual kissing." Ying raised her hand and gently touched her lips.
Shao Yun looked at her and couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.
"Maybe it's because today we've officially become a family. Even though I don't believe in the law, but...haha..."
The two were whispering to each other when Yuan Shang, who had already sorted out the process list, walked up with a smile and announced the next step.
"Okay, the kissing part is over! Next, let's move on to another climax of the wedding... Please have the bride turn her back to the guests and throw the bouquet behind her!"
He turned to the girls present and explained enthusiastically, "The 'girl' who receives the bouquet will receive the bride's most sincere blessing, and it also means that she will be the next to find happiness!"
As soon as the words fell, the girls at the scene became excited instantly. It was a different custom!
Upon hearing this, Ying followed Yuanshang's request, turned around with her back to the guests, and gently held up the bouquet carefully made by Shenhe with both hands.
"Look who's the lucky winner today!" Then, she took a deep breath, raised the bouquet to her chest, and asked in a louder voice, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready!" Without waiting for anyone else to respond, Malani's voice rang out first.
She stood in the crowd, standing on tiptoe, her hands unconsciously raised to her chest, her eyes fixed on the bouquet in Ying's hands, her face full of anticipation.
Although she is still young and it is not the time for her to think about her own happiness, it is always a lively and auspicious thing to receive the bride's bouquet.
