That day, Penny and Nathan held their wedding in the presence of countless family members and friends.
Guests from all over the country started streaming into the venue.
Many soldiers from The North, South, East, West and Capital Garrisons had turned up as well.
After the wedding ceremony commenced, Penny and Nathan put on the costumes they had prepared for this segment and went around toasting every table.
As Penny couldn't really hold her liquor that well, Nathan helped with her share.
In the end, even Nathan, who seldom got drunk, had so much to drink that he was completely intoxicated.
After Penny helped Nathan back into the bridal chamber, she closed the door behind them and a deafening silence immediately fell over the room. She was alone with Nathan.
She then cautiously helped him to some tea before wiping away his sweat with a piece of cloth.
"Why did you drink so much?" she chided gently, "Just look at how drunk you are."
Nathan, however, opened his eyes and grinned, "It's our wedding day. I was in the mood."
"What's more, the guests today are either friends and family or the higher-ups in the military. We have to show them respect."
Looking as dainty as a fairy, Penny said coquettishly, "That's still no reason to get so drunk!"
Gazing at his beautiful wife, Nathan suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'm fine," he insisted, "That amount of alcohol isn't going to stop me on our wedding night."
Penny's face immediately flushed a crimson red. "Darling..." she protested embarrassedly.
But before she could even finish, Nathan lowered his head and planted his lips on hers.
She hastily tried to smack him to his senses but to no avail. In the end, she gave in and slowly circled her hands around his neck as she reciprocated the kiss.
Soon, Nathan's hands began reaching for the zip on her wedding dress...
A jolt went through her body as Penny came back to her senses. "Darling," she said in a trembling voice, "You've been drinking. Doing it after that increases the chances of conceiving a deformed baby...”
"It's fine,” Nathan smiled, "I saw them slip a few condoms in the drawer."
Upon hearing this, Penny became so embarrassed that she hastily switched off the lights.
Not long after the room had been plunged into darkness, a sensuous moaning broke the silence...
It was quite a while before the frenzy came to an end!
