Chapter 107 - Wedding
"No-No" Lysa waved her hand hurriedly and said "You are breathtaking. I guess the groom will fall in love with you instantly."
"Ivy, my dear. You are looking gorgeous." Allora also commented and dapped the corner of her eyes.
Ivy blushed after listening to their compliments. Ivy is wearing a long white lace wedding gown, the gown is made of high neck tulle long sleeves, and it is studded with small diamonds on its design to make it sparkle when the light shone on it. It fitted perfectly to her figure and highlighted her curves.
Ivy suggested this model to Laura who is a fashion designer and owner of Fairy. Laura was impressed with her idea and designed it according to her wishes.
Ivy wants to enjoy her wedding to the fullest, this is her first marriage in both lives and she has a feeling that this marriage is going to last forever. She paired her ears with diamond hangings, her hair is done in an updo with several braids and embellished with flowers in between, her feet are adorned by glass heels.
The glass heels idea came from Cinderella, of course, she wants to experience the feeling of being the most beautiful on her special day.
"You are stunning." a small and cello voice praised Ivy.
The trio looked at the voice and saw Elric coming inside, Ivy smiled and thanked him. "Thanks, Elric."
Simon also came inside to take Ivy to the podium where the marriage was held. He was stunned by her beauty, he felt emotional and happy for her new beginning.
Ivy heard about the marriage procedure here, it is quite similar to the one in the modern era but the slight differences are there is no bridesmaid and braids man, there are marriage vows and rings exchange but it will be done by the temple high priest.
In the Krayton Kingdom, people worship dragons and they believe in Dragon God. Hence there is a temple on the mountain for the Dragon God and the priest will commence the marriage. After the vows, the couple will be rewarded with a small dragon sculpture wishing them the dragon god will be born to them.
It is a myth to all the people and they believe that Dragon God will bear to them. Ivy felt this is quite amusing and felt that what if Dragon Goddess will bear to her.
"Shall we go, Ivy?" Simon said while giving his hand to her.
Ivy smiled and nodded in approval while taking his hand, and Allora adorned the veil on Ivy as it is one of the traditions, it means the bride's mother's affection will protect her from all evil. Everyone left the room leaving the father and daughter.
"Ivy, I don't have any words to tell you right now. But remember we will be there for you always. Come to us whenever you want, our house doors are open to you anytime." Simon patted her head gently when a tear escaped from his eyes.
"Dad.." Ivy felt emotional, she still felt like she was in a dream. All this love, affection towards her made her realize how important it has to be a family.
"Come On. I don't want to make the groom wait. Or else he will come to take you.`` Simon chuckled.
Ivy also smiled and left with her father. They reached the door and suddenly she felt nervous. When she read the novels about marriage, she felt quite amused and excited to feel this feeling one day. When she was experiencing that she felt really nervous, she felt some butterflies flipping in her stomach.
"Ready?" Simon asked gently.
Ivy took a deep breath and nodded her head with determination. Simon squeezed her hand sending his strength to her and signalled the guard to start the ceremony.
A trumpet was blown and the door opened with the priest announcing "The bride of the day Aivyn Dalton is arriving with her father Simon Dalton."
Everyone turned around to look at Ivy and all took a deep breath seeing her in the wedding dress. All of them have only one thought that is 'She is Angel.'
Henirich saw Ivy who is walking alongside her father and felt emotional, but he controlled his emotions well and looked at Ivy dotingly. Gavon, who was standing near the priest turned slowly and looked at Ivy, the moment he met her eyes everything faded away. In his eyes, there is only Ivy and she is breathtakingly beautiful.
He saw Aivyn in her wedding dress. His heart skipped a bit and it started beating loudly and he heard the loud beating of his heart in his ear clearly. With every step she took, he felt nervous and unknown emotions surged into his heart.
When Ivy took her step her veil swept across the floor, her hair strands fluttered with the air and the sunlight from the windows fell on her dress, making it glitters under sunlight causing holy light behind her, everyone covers their eyes from the light. She is really looking dazzling.
Ivy saw the Gavon and he is clad in a Blue Coat adorned with golden buttons, and a chain is hanging from his second button to his left side pocket button paired with black leather shoes. His hair is neatly combed back which gave him a charming and majestic vibe. The moment she met his eyes her heart stopped beating for a second.
This is the first time she is seeing Gavon apart from black and he is looking like a prince charming. All her nervousness faded away and the only thing she registered in her mind is his eyes. They are truly marvellous.
It felt like an eternity for Ivy to reach Gavon, she stood in front of him and Simon handed her hand to him and said "Please take care of Ivy."
Gavon looked at Simon and said with his charming smile "I will."
Simon was pleased with his sincerity, he saw the affection and love for his daughter in Gavon eyes. He felt happy inside and left the podium before giving a slight bow to the priest.
"You are the most beautiful woman I saw in my life Aivyn," Gavon whispered, causing Ivy to blush.
Gavon was immensely satisfied by seeing her reaction and he felt really happy to have her in his life.
"You are looking Handsome, My Lord." Ivy complemented sweetly. Gavon was caught off guard by her compliment and his ears turned red.
They both stood side by side and bowed to the priest and His Majesty who was sitting in his designated place to their right side.
The priest started the ceremony and the melodious music was started by the musicians. In front of him were the two beautiful couple diamond rings. The rings are simple and elegant, a diamond is studded in the middle of both rings, the bride diamond is a bit bigger than the groom.
Gavon took Ivy suggestion while selecting the rings and they both customs made these rings. The priest addressed the King and the people present in the hall before proceeding to the marriage vows.
"Gavon Lee, do you take Aivyn Dalton as your wife from this day forward, for better and worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish."
Gavon faced Ivy and looked into her eyes directly and took the ring from the priest first before taking Ivy hand, he slides the ring on her finger while spelling the two magical words "I do."
Ivy's blushed and her heart skipped when she saw the love, care, sincerity, affection in Gavon eyes. The cool sensation of the ring made her look at her fingers and it felt emotional to Ivy.
"Aivyn Dalton, do you take Gavon Lee as your husband from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish."
She smiled and took the ring from the priest and looked at Gavon, she took his hand and slide the ring slowly while maintaining her eye contact with him and said the magical words which imprint in Gavon's life forever "I do."
Gavon felt his breath hitched when he heard those two words and made a vow to protect Ivy with his life.
