197 Wedding Day 3 (1/2)
Vince is wearing a white tuxedo and accented with royal blue. The edges of the suit, pockets and buttons were tailored with blue color. His tie is based on the European vintage suit. To contradict the usual similar colored suit, vest and pants, Maddie had a accented color as the main one for the pants. His shoes were also of plain white.
As Vince walks down the aisle, the entire scenery became dreamy not only for the bride and groom but also for the guests. This atmosphere further convinced the investors who were invited in the wedding, that the feelings between the two leaders weren't just for a show nor for the merger. They are now 100% sure that their feelings are legit.
Both the bride's and groom's hearts are beating crazily from this feeling. Vince never thought that he would get married in the most unexpected way with the most unpredictable situation. Instead of him waiting at the altar, here he is, walking the aisle with his mother to meet the love of his love.
Yve, who's waiting at the altar, failed to notice that there are tears falling down from her eyes. It was only when Vince reached out his hand to touch her face that she discovered the tears.
”You know I will never be happy with you crying that like that.” Vince commented on her tears.
”Don't be like that. These tears are not due to sadness.” Yve said and smiled back at her King.
”That's more I like it.” Vince smiled and offered his arm to which his Queen happily circled hers as they face the priest together.
”We are now here to witness the wedding of Yvory Smith and Vincent Gray.” The priest's words signaled the beginning of the ceremony.
The people attentively listened to the priest's words and then came another important moment in the wedding - exchange of rings and vows.
A young boy, which was the son of one of Maddie's staff handed walks to the center carrying the wedding rings. Everyone saw how beautiful they were. The rings were designed by Emika and were approved by Vince. Yve hasn't seen the rings until today.
The ring is a 24-K gold filled with diamonds of different sizes. The bride's wedding ring is designed like a crown fit for a queen. The biggest diamond was placed at the center of the tiara-looking ring. Aside from the most noticeable stone, there were about 50 in her ring alone including the small ones. The groom's wedding ring is not to belittled as well. His ring has the same features except for the design and the number of diamonds. The tiara design fit for a King with lesser and smaller diamonds for a manly approach.
The priest starts one of the awaited sections of the ceremony.
”Do you, Vincent Gray, do you take Yvory Smith to be your wife?”
”Yes, I do.” Vince firmly answered and took the ring from the boy and wears it to Yve.
”I have written a lot of wedding vows in preparation for this day. However, I wasn't able to memorize any one of them. The next words I will tell you come straight from my heart.” Vince began sending chills to the people listening.
They have heard Vince in a serious tone as the CEO but never have they seen him this focused in a relationship.
”I know that you have been regretting your decision when you left me. I also know that you have been blaming yourself for all the pain I experienced in the past. Let me tell you in front of the priest, my family which is also now yours and to all the people here, that pain allowed me to grow into who I am today. The past made me realize how incompetent and unreliable I was. Ever since that time, I swear to myself that I will work really hard to become someone you can rely on...”
Vince wiped the tears falling from Yve's eyes. Yve thought how amazing it was that Vince always knows how she feels even without spoken words.
”Stop crying or else you'll ruin your make-up.” Vince cracked a joke earned a series of laughter from the crowd as his wife pushed him a little.
”On a serious note, I want to make a different promise. This time not to myself but to the only woman who became the exception in my every rule.”
