Lethal Bride - Season 1 - Episode 36

☆☆☆☆

WEDDING
He wondered why she looked
at him like that; he shrugged
“wedding tension I guess”. He
got behind the wheel of the
limo and drove to church.

Arriving at the church she saw Easton’s father standing and making a call, she
frowned “you are going
down” she thought. They got
out of the limo getting ready
for the bride entrance, Crystal sighted Ella who was already running towards her with her flower basket and screaming,
Ella was indeed happy to see
her. She hugged Crystal with
so much happiness, “I miss you”, Crystal didn’t know how to respond to her
gestures and just forced a
smile through her veil and
patted her hair. Easton’s
father smiled as he walked towards them.
“My beautiful daughter in
law, you look amazing, come
let me lead you to my son”.
She glared at him through the
veil but he didn’t see her face properly so he assumed she smiled. He took her hand as
the ring bearer, the flower girl
and bridesmaids took their
positions in front of them,
with Francesca standing behind all smiling and ready to follow Crystal to the altar to
meet Easton.

They all took steps one at a time into the
church. As they got in the
pianist played “here comes the bride” rhythm, everyone stood up and faces lit in smiles at the sight of the beautifully
dressed bride. Ella judiciously
threw her white roses to the
floor as she walked. Easton watched her with fulfillment in his heart, the joy he felt
seeing her wear the white
gown and walking towards
him could not be quantified.

“She is going to be my wife today. See how beautiful she looks” Easton thought.

Crystal finally reached the altar and
stood in front of him; Francesca took her cascading flower from Crystal and stood behind her.

Everyone in the church became really quiet as
the Baritone voice of the middle aged priest rung out.

“Today we are gathered
together on this beautiful morning to share with Crystal and Easton as they exchange
vows of their everlasting
love. Who gives this woman
to be married to this man?”.

Easton’s father stood up, the priest looks at him and tells him to seat down.

“As Crystal and Easton take
their vows today, we are happy and honored to witness the love of a new family that would be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing
together through the bonds
of love. May their marriage bring them peace, joy, comfort and contentment
that is known in the heart of
all God’s children. May Crystal
and Easton both forward to
each new season of their marriage, just as the world look forward to each new
season of the year, for all
seasons bring with them their
own special memories and
moments. An essential requirement of a good
marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Your love for each other should
grow deeper with every passing day, but it is important to know that your love stands genuine, mutual affection and respect for one
another. To love another person is to be willing to accept their strong points and their weak points with equal measures of understanding and respect.

The vows you are about to take are the verbal
representation of the non-
verbal emotions. For it is not the words that would bond you together as one but the
strength of the love and commitment found deep in your souls”. The priest opened
the book and looked at Easton and Crystal “now, face each other and take your hands, they obeyed.

“Easton, will you take Crystal
to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship
and love her today, tomorrow and forever?, will you trust and honor her,
laugh with her and cry with
her?, will you be faithful through good times and bad times, in sickness and in health
as long as you both shall live?”

“I will”, Easton smiled and
replied. The priest looks at
Crystal, “Crystal, will you take Easton
to be your husband, your
partner in life and your one
true love? will you cherish his
friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever?, will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him?, will you
be faithful through good
times and bad times, in
sickness and health as long as you both shall live?”. Crystal hesitated a bit, she was
looking at Easton and
thinking of the best way to
avenge the death of her
parents, her eyes were already misty with tears, and “how could they do this to
me” she thought. Easton gave
her little sq££ze in her hand;
she turned to priest and
forced a smile “I will” she said.

Easton looked at the priest,
“please I have something to
say” “what is it?”

“I want to say my personal vows to her”, the priest smiles, “go ahead”.

Easton inhales and exhales deeply, he
held her hand tightly,

“I will cherish our union and
love you more each day; I give you my heart, my hand, my love. I have never felt
love this genuine except with you.

You taught me how to
love; you brought out a side
of me I didn’t know I had. You are mine and I am yours.

I stand in front of this people
and in front of you that my
love for you will never wax
cold. You are everything I
desired and I promise never to take you for granted. Who knew years back that we
were going to stand together
at the altar and get married,
but here we are. I will love
you with every fiber of my body, in sickness and health. I will be your friend, brother
and father. You are my life and I will always take care of you”. Many faces lit up, it was
evident he really loved the woman he was getting married to.

The priest smiled and beckoned on the ring
bearer to come forward with the rings.

The little boy walked smartly with the ring that rested on the little peach pillow he was holding towards the altar and handed
it over to the priest and walked back.

Easton picked one the rings and held Crystal hand, “I Easton give you Crystal this
ring as a symbol of my love
and commitment to you”. He
slides it on her finger Crystal picked the ring that was left and held Easton’s
hand, “I Crystal give you
Easton this ring as a symbol of
my love and commitment to
you” she slides it on his finger
The priest asked them to kneel down, then he placed both hands on their head and
prayed for them, after he
finished they got up.

“By the power vested in me
being the priest of this holy sanctuary, I now pronounce you husband and wife”, he
smiled at Easton “you may
kiss the bride”. Easton with so
much joy raised her veil over
her head and planted a long kiss on her lips. People applauded and smiled so
much.

The priest raised his voice in
excitement “people of God I
now present you the newly wedded couple Easton and Crystal”.

The guests stood up and applauded loudly as the couple and recessional went
out.
