Jared’s Wedding

[Several Months Later]

Today… is my birthday.

However, more than that, it's something else.

It is my wedding.

"Do you, Jared Leonard Alphonse Sereth, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Till death do you part and all that?"

I currently stand in front of the woman of my dreams. Her silvery white hair perfectly matches her wedding dress, and I can't help but smile as her blue eyes look at me with such amazing wonder.

As Neron asks me this question, serving as the priest that'll join us together, I feel elated.

Right here and now, I get to say the two words I've wanted to utter for what has felt like an eternity.

"I do."

The moment I say this, I hear stifled cheers from the crowd.

Everyone sitting in the pews are staring at me—at us—with excitement. They all appear to be impatient, but they have to hold all of it in for now.

It isn't time for the big celebration—not until the bride says the same.
