A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Soon, the wedding ceremony began. Jacob led Emily to the seats arranged for the guests and sat beside her.

The small lawn had been specially decorated with white tables and chairs as well as colorful balloons. The faint fragrance of flowers filled the air, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.

There was a wide pathway in the middle of the tables and chairs. A long red carpet extended from the entrance all the way to the platform at the front. Flower baskets, balloons, and small, colorful ribbons adorned both sides of the pathway.

Soon, the exclusive music for the wedding filled the air.

Wearing her beautiful white wedding dress, Cherish held her father's hand and walked slowly on the red carpet from the flower arch to the platform.

Looking dashing in a white suit, Carlos looked at her coming toward him with a gentle smile on his face. Out of all the people in the room, only Emily knew that Carlos, who had always been calm and self-aware, was very nervous at the moment. This wedding was obviously very important to him.

“I give you my blessing and my only daughter's hand in marriage. She's the treasure of our family. Please look after her,“ Cherish's father said in a low voice when he put Cherish's hand in Carlos'.

“I promise I will take good care of her.“ Carlos nodded seriously.

Holding back her tears, Cherish took Carlos's arm and carefully walked toward the officiant. They were finally getting married. It was no longer just a dream.

When the two of them stepped in front of the officiant, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Cherish and Carlos looked at each other. And then, both of them looked at the officiant.

Seeing that the two of them were ready, the officiant said slowly, “We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's greatest moments. We are here to give recognition to the beauty of love that is shared between Carlos and Cherish as they complete their family in holy matrimony. Grant them happiness and contentment, as their two lives become one, as they create a new family and explore the depths of their love for one another. Bless their families and friends and the relationships, which have supported, strengthened and sustained them throughout their lives. Bless their home as a place of love and of peace.“

After a long series of wedding vows, the priest asked, “Before this marriage is to be legislated, if there is anyone who can show just cause why this couple cannot lawfully be joined together in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.“

There was dead silence in the room.

Then, the priest looked at Cherish with a smile and asked, “Cherish, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love him, look after him, respect him, and accept him in sickness and in health? Will you be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?“
