Amid the howls of laughter from the guests before the stage, the couple successfully exchanged their rings and proceeded to kiss each other.
Rounds of applause were heard as the pastor announced that the ceremony had been completed. The two people had officially become man and wife.
At last, Zachary was able to heave a sigh of relief. Smiling radiantly, he gave Charlotte a tight embrace.
Charlotte was so excited that she shed tears while being in his arms.
They held three weddings in total. The first two ceremonies were interrupted by accidents, whereby her life was in danger, followed by his. Finally, they managed to complete the ceremony without a hitch on the third attempt.
At long last, they had become lawfully wedded husband and wife.
Even though it was a normal ceremony, they had to go through a great ordeal just to get it done perfectly. However, it was also the reason that they appreciated the hard-earned happiness.
Sitting downstage, Danrique and Francesca looked at the couple before the altar and could not help exchanging glances with each other. At that moment, they were overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
The fact that another couple was determined to be together despite the hardships seemed to have made them learn to cherish their loved ones more, as well as understand the meaning of happiness better.
He held her hand tightly and whispered into her ear, “Let's get married as soon as we go back.”
“We can do that, but let's not invite so many people.” Francesca looked around, and a pucker gradually formed between her brows. “I think that marriage is a personal matter. We can just invite our family to the wedding.”
“No problem. It's up to you.”
As Danrique kissed the top of her head, he caught Zachary's gaze. The latter seemed gratified to see their exchange.
In response, he expressed his gratitude with a gesture. It's all thanks to Zachary that my wife is back by my side again!
After the ceremony, Ben and the others invited the guests to dine on the lawn. As for Zachary and Charlotte, they greeted the other guests before they stayed with Danrique and his family.
Since it was rare for them to gather together, the six children went to play among themselves happily.
Zachary and Danrique watched the children, quirking their lips into alluring smiles. Then, they tilted their heads to see their wives chatting with each other merrily. It was impossible not to chuckle at the joyous atmosphere.
“Let's take a seat over there!”
“Okay.”
With a glass of red wine in their hands, the two men looked for a quiet corner to sit on. Then, they continued to gaze lovingly at their wives and children, who were not far from them.
Zachary took a sip of his wine and asked, “How's it going? When will you be holding the wedding?”
“We will do it as soon as we head back. You must bring Charlotte and the children to attend our wedding.”
It was rare to see Danrique behave so amicably.
