A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1607

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1607

Holding glasses in their hands, Larry and Joan both toasted their parents. Finnick and Vivian, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Watts, clinked glasses with them while beaming from ear to ear.

Then, they all tossed back the champagne in their glasses, giving their blessings upon the marriage.

“And now, we shall invite the newlywed’s parents to say a few words!”

Finnick was the first to go on stage. He first congratulated Larry and Joan before promising to treat Joan well in the future.

Subsequently, it was Mr. Watts. His speech was more emotional since Joan was his only daughter, and she would no longer be a member of the Watts family after joining the Norton family. While he was happy, he was also a touch reluctant at the same time.

When he came to a poignant part, tears shimmered in his eyes.

Of course, they were tears of joy.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s put our hands together once more for the touching speech from both the newlyweds’ parents.” The wedding emcee then continued to declare in a voice filled with passion and delight, “May the newlyweds have an everlasting flow of love and joy in their abiding marriage! And with the blessings of us all, may they have a fruitful union!”

Subsequently, Larry and Joan gazed at each other lovingly as strains of music started playing in the background.

“Having received the blessings of both parents, let’s proceed to the first dance by the newlyweds.”

As Joan and Larry faced the person they loved, a feeling of bliss enveloped them at the thought that they would be the most intimate person to the other, never to be separated again henceforth.

With their gazes fixed on each other, they then started swaying slowly.

When the dance had finally ended, the emcee proclaimed, “With that, let’s all wish this newly wedded couple all the best in their married life!”

The biggest difference between a traditional wedding and a modern one was the elaborate conventions observed in the former.
