"Hey, Chairman." Alfred, the son of Gustav, who was Lyon's main best man, saw Leon's strangeness, he patted Leon's shoulder, and comforted, "Don't be nervous, I don't think marriage is more dangerous than confronting the Frenchman, right?" "
"Huh." Leon was amused by the words, "Thanks, Alfred." "
"It's as it should be." Alfred also smiled, "Here we are, get out of the car, I'll be with you." "
Leon took two deep breaths, pushed the open door and took Alfred out of the car, and the best men in several cars sitting behind him also got out of the car and followed Leon.
The woman's bridesmaids had already arrived at the door first, and after seeing that Leon and the best men had arrived, they greeted them, and then formed a one-on-one pair with the best man.
When Leon saw that the best men and bridesmaids were ready, he walked into the church side by side with the main best man, and the best men and bridesmaids behind him also walked in pairs behind them.
Seeing the groom arriving, the originally slightly noisy church became quiet, and the black-pressed guests saluted Lyon, which made Leon's newly calmed mood tense again.
Walking through the wedding aisle made of white carpets, Leon arrived at the main wedding table, this time the main wedding bride Pius XIV stood behind the main wedding table and smiled and nodded to Leon, and Leon also smiled and returned the salute.
The best men and bridesmaids behind them, centered on Leon and the main wedding table, spread out to both sides.
Then the main bridesmaids walked in alone and stood beside Leon.
After the groom, groomsman and bridesmaid arrived at their places, the flower girl and the ring boy, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in with small pillows carrying flower baskets full of flower petals.
The flower girl scattered flowers along the way until she reached the main wedding table, and then the flower girl stood behind the main best man, and the ring boy stood behind the main bridesmaid.
Once everyone is in place, the wedding is at its climax.
The band began to play the "Wedding March", and Sophia, dressed in a white wedding dress, held flowers in both hands and was carried into the church by her father, Strauss.
All the guests stood up and faced Sophia to show their respect for the bride.
Leon looked at the beautiful Sophia and froze, forgetting what he was going to do next.
Alfred on the side saw Leon's dumbfounded look, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly patted Leon and signaled him to greet him.
Leon came to his senses and hurried to greet him.
Straws, seeing the groom greeting him, lifted Sophia's veil and kissed her on the cheek, and then Sophia stepped forward, moved the bouquet to her left hand, and put her right hand into Leon's arm and took Leon's arm, while Strauss on the side walked to the front row and sat down.
Leon took Sophia in his arms, and after Strauss sat down, he walked up to the wedding stage and stood facing the main bride.
The live choir began singing songs such as "Ode to Joy" and "Hallelujah", and all the guests began to bow their heads and pray for Jesus to bless the couple.
After the prayer, the officiant began to witness the marriage.
"The groom, Mr. Leon Andrés, and the bride, Mademoiselle Sophia von Strauss, come today to St. Peter's Basilica, the temple of the Lord, to conclude a marriage contract before God and the Church, parents on both sides, relatives and friends."
"The Lord has given you the grace of baptism, blessed your love, and now sanctifies and strengthens your union through the sacrament of marriage, enriching your life and gladly assuming Christian responsibilities in marriage. You know that if it is a match made in heaven, it must be kept for life. I now ask both of you to solemnly express your wishes before you. "
"Mr. Andrés, would you like to voluntarily marry Miss Strauss?"
"Yes, I volunteer." Leon nodded heavily.
"Miss Strauss, have you voluntarily married Monsieur Andrés?"
"Yes, I volunteer." Sophia said with a red face.
"Are you willing to accept God's reward for your children and to raise them according to the Gospel of Christ and the teaching of the Church?"
"Yes, we do."
"Since you two wish to be married, ask you to shake each other's hands, face to face, and make your marriage covenant with one another before God and the Church.
"Sophia, I now solemnly acknowledge you as my wife, and promise that from now on, regardless of good circumstances and sickness and health, I will always love and respect you for the rest of my life. May the Lord judge my will. Leon looked at the beautiful Sophia, his tone full of determination.
"Leon, I now solemnly acknowledge you as my husband, and promise that from now on, regardless of good circumstances and sickness and health, I will always love and respect you for the rest of my life. May the Lord judge my will. Sophia said softly in happiness.
Then the two took the rings from the main best man and the main bridesmaid respectively and held them in their hands.
"God blessed these wedding rings and asked you to exchange them as a token of your love and loyalty." Pius XI blessed the ring.
"Leon/Sophia, I put this ring on you to show my faithful love for you and may the Lord help us. In the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The two exchanged rings.
Pius XI stretched out his hand to bless the marriage covenant: "May the Lord strengthen and bless the marriage covenant you have concluded before the Church and your relatives and friends." May Christ's love for the Church be realized in your lives and grant you eternal happiness. May it be a match made in heaven and grow old. "
"Amen." The couple said softly.
Once here, the wedding was completed, and the two walked off the wedding stage to the cheers and applause of the guests, left the church, and headed to the location to take some location photos.
In the evening, the couple sat down with Strauss for dinner.
"Leon, from now on, my daughter will be entrusted to you." Strauss looked a little lonely, "I hope you treat your wife well." "
"I will." Leon nodded.
"Dad, it's not like I can't see you when I'm married." Sophia hugged Strauss's hand and coquettishly.
"Alas, you don't understand." Strauss touched Sophia's head and said kindly. At this moment, Strauss no longer has a trace of iron blood that belongs to the soldier, and some are only some kind of holiness that belongs to his father.
"That's right, Leon." Strauss seemed to have thought of something, "This time your wedding Italy has made a lot of efforts, but you have never asked for any payment, which is a little wrong." "
"I kind of know what they think." After the wedding and returning to a calm state, Lyon combined history and quickly figured out the relationship, "Mussolini just wants us to choose to stand with them in some things that may happen in the future." "
"What's your plan?"
"It's not a hurry to plan for the future." Leon smiled and said, "After tonight, Mussolini is almost coming to 'visit' me."
