Today is the day. Outside, a large celebration was about to begin, and I would soon be married. Reina's family had done the planning, and they had invited everyone they knew.

With my marriage announced, this took the world by storm, and many influential people wanted to join this occasion. Reina's family took this job to invite anyone they were close with, and so did I.

I had never been to a wedding, nor was I interested in it, so I had no idea what a wedding needed. Being by Reina's side, I had to be in the rehearsal, ensuring everything was perfect.

The color white was never a color that matched me. Since Reina had worn a white dress, matching was a must.

I sat down on a chair, waiting for it to be my turn. The wedding was about to start, and sooner or later, I had to make my way and become the center of attention at this event.

"Boss, it's almost time." Prince said as he left for the wedding spot. He was the best man I have chosen for this ceremony.

With my turn coming, I took deep breaths and prepared for what was next. Displaying my most noble presence, I began to make my way to the venue. Walking straight to the altar, I could see everyone's eyes on me. Everyone was dazzled by my presence alone.

The officiant was already here, and with how reputable he is with his job, I could testify that he would do well.

Soon more people arrived, such as people from Reina's side and people from mine. Nene was the flower girl; she thought becoming one would be fun.

I remembered Reina blowing up that Nene treated this role like a joke. After scolding her for hours, Nene went to me and was traumatized.

Nene wouldn't dare mess this up when Reina would do her best to end her existence if that were the last thing she could do.

As for the ring bearer, Rose was chosen to become one. Not only was she someone we trusted very much, but she was also reliable.

Soon, Reina had made her way. Reina had gracefully walked to the altar and made her way to me.

Looking at her, Reina's beauty mesmerized me. With her role as the bride and the beautiful white dress she wore, she had become the center of attention.

Reina's beauty didn't diminish even with the veil covering her, but it added a mystery factor to the guest.

"Guest far and wide. Today, we are gathered to join Reina Burgess and Charles Anderson in their matrimony." With everything in place, the officiant began to speak.

"We are all here to support this commitment of love and to share the joy of the bride and groom as they choose to spend their lives together."

"Thank you all for witnessing today's event." The officiant had just thanked everyone for joining us.

Once he had finished, he continued to talk about some thoughts about marriage, what marriage meant, and what it represented. That said and done, it was almost time for me to say my wedding vows.

The wedding vow took me a while to think about. With enough effort, I thought mine would turn out great.

"Before we start the main event, do you two have any words of exchange you would love to share?" The officiant stated this, giving us a chance to speak.

"Reina. Your love gives me hope. Your smile gives me joy, and you have made me a better man. Being with you had changed my life for the better."

I wasn't good with long speeches. Sweet and straightforward was the preferred approach. And with how confident and passionate I was with my words, I nailed it.

Reina's expression was hidden behind the veil, but the feeling I could sense from her was overwhelmingly positive. With what I said, it was Reina's turn.

"Charles, did you know that without you? My life would be stale. Ever since we met, I have always thought of you. Without you, I would be nothing. I hope to spend my time with you for as long as possible."

"..."

What made it disheartening was that I had a time limit. To the spectators, what Reina said was sweet to the heart. But to me, the meaning was different. Rose then brought our rings after we said our vows.

"You may now exchange your rings."

With the rings in our hands, we began to exchange them. I gently inserted the ring into her finger as I held her hand. Once I finished, she did the same for me.

"Before I announce their marriage, does anyone else have anything to say?" I looked at the officiant strangely. No one would dare stop this marriage. They will have to face the consequences if they do.

"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The crowd cheered now that we were officially married.

Reina and I stared at each other. Before I kissed her, I lifted Reina's veil and saw her clear face.

With how her hair was done, she had it all tied up, giving her a different taste. Her hair was well done, and her eyes attracted me the most.

The glow coming from it was the excitement that she had felt. I couldn't help but mutter the word beautiful, which shocked Reina.

Without wasting more time, I held and forced my lips onto her. Unlike our usual kiss, Reina had put in a more tender feeling.

The crowd cheered wildly, seeing us kiss. This public display of affection made my heart want to explode. Even so, I didn't seem to mind it. How strange.

With our kiss, the wedding ended nicely. What was next was a banquette hosted by the Burgess family.

Since I didn't do much for the wedding, I lent my power to this banquet. I can't see what our guests would think about what was next to see.
