    Chapter 616 The Ceremony


    Matthew turned his head slightly and shot a look from the side of his eyes at Skyler before averting his


    attention to Veronica as he gulped anxiously.


    “Roni, I’ve been so blessed to have encountered you and… your existence has brought colors into my


    life, which used to be dull and boring.”


    He paused for a moment and stepped forward to hold Veronica’s hands. At the same time, he gently


    stroked the back of her hand, as if this gesture of holding her hand made him feel significantly at ease for


    some reason.


    “For the rest of our lives, no matter how tough things get, I hope that we will continue to walk through life


    hand-in-hand, for better or worse.” As he said this, he held her hand tightly with a sincere and loving look


    in his eyes. Although it was just a few simple sentences of confession, Veronica was content with that.


    She reached out and took the microphone from his hand. “All of the heartfelt words I have for you are


    written on that post on Twitter the other day, but listen here, Matthew Kings. After our marriage, that


    means you’re solely mine. So, if you dare to abandon me, then I vow to chase after you to the ends of


    the earth.”


    As Veronica said that, she revealed a faint smile on her red lips and her dark eyes sparkled brightly; her


    happiness clearly shone through at that moment. “Wow! How blissful!”


    “I like this confession of love.” “Oooh… I hope that they will remain happy forever.”


    “I can tell that she really loves Matthew.” “Kiss her! Kiss her!”


    …


    The guests below the stage were all family and friends of the couple since the couple did not invite


    anyone else other than their close ones.


    Veronica and Matthew realized that their wedding was potentially full of danger, so the more guests they


    invited, the rowdier the scene would be. As such, if something bad urred, it would result in worse


    consequences.


    Onstage, Matthew kept his eyes on the woman before him. Today was their wedding day and she was


    dressed in a billowing white gown with minimal makeup. Herplexion was wless with just a slight


    rosy tinge to her porcin skin. Her bright-red lips entuated her pearly-white teeth and her thick, dark


    yet slightly upturned eyshes covered her dark eyes that sparkled. Her features were perfect and she


    was such a natural beauty that he could not quite keep his eyes off her.


    As soon as Veronica finished saying her vow, he strode forward and ced a hand behind her neck


    before domineeringly nting a kiss on her lips right in full view of the crowd.


    His kiss came about suddenly and Veronica was taken aback by that. At that moment, she heard shrill


    screams, whistling noises, and supportive yellsing in all directions.


    Matthew was dressed in a white tuxedo today and this was a different style from his usual cold and


    elegant attire. However, his white tuxedo entuated his features much better. His well-groomed brows


    and prominent features were perfectly wless. It was apt to describe him as dashingly handsome to the


    point that heads would turn at the sight of him.


    Although this was their wedding ceremony after all, Matthew’s sudden action of kissing Veronica resulted


    in excited screams throughout the room. She was not used to being the center of attention, so she gently


    pushed him aside shyly with a bright-red face.


    Instantly, the host took the microphone from her and started his long speech again.


    Their wedding was based on Matthew’s family traditions, so there were some specific customs to follow.

    The next step was the exchange of wedding rings before they finally expressed their gratitude.


    “I now pronounce you husband and wife. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together.”


    Veronica and Matthew faced the direction of the guests and took a bow.


    “Express your thanks to your elders and parents. After all, they raised you and showered you with love.


    Here’s to wishing the elders a life of longevity and blissfulness.”


    The two of them then turned around and bowed to Elizabeth and Crayson on the stage.


    Elizabeth repeatedly nodded with approval and she could not contain her happiness. Her face was


    flushed red out of excitement while Crayson remained unperturbed and calm sitting next to her. No one


    could read his emotions.


    “Finally, express thanks to each other. You’ve finally entered into a union with each other. From now on,


    you’ll face life together.”


    The couple turned to each other and kept their eyes on their significant partner affectionately. Each of


    them had content smiles on their faces.


    Following that, they lowered their heads and bowed to each other in unison. At that moment, Veronica


    was immersed in the scene as she took in the happiness and excitement of the wedding ceremony.


    Originally, she was keen to go through with an ordinary wedding, but she assumed that since the


    wedding had been organized in a haste, Matthew would have gone for a simple exchange of wedding


    vows.


    However, she did not expect that he would put in so much effort to carry out such a grand and elegant


    traditional wedding within such a short timeframe. Everything was ording to the wedding of her


    dreams and she felt that her dreams had finallye true.
