Zain stands in the middle of the aisle...
Staring at the front of the canopy...
All rise and look in the same direction
Kids with pretty emerald dresses and white rose petals in baskets adorning the runway
A little boy with a box another follows with another dresses in cream suits with accents of emerald
Women with men to accompany walk gracefully side by side smiling with joy
And finally Mr.Park walks towards to meet Sarang by his side. She takes a deep breath kisses her dad on the cheek. He extends his arm,she accepts happily. Mr.Park he comforts her by patting her arm as they walk up to meet Zain. The crowd in awe of her dress, on theme of course, a cream white color with embroided Z on the strap of the one strap dress. Accentuated by the emerald beading on the top of the dress. A simple but big puff lower half and a train veil with emerald beading along the crown descending to the end of the 12ft wonder. A long traditionally not typical attire. One for royalty but simply elegant.
She smile with tears welling as she looks at Zain without breaking contact. His eyes focused on Sarang with a smile bright as the moon. Mr.Park hugs Sarang and bows reapecfully to both Sarang and Zain. Sarang and Zain hold hands sharing glances and smiles. Laughs and eagerness to seal their fate. Because it is. They say to each other in whispers. Mouthing words "I love you" back and forth as the Ordinant speaks to the crowd. And to the couple he tells them to exchange vows...
Zain and Sarang say they can't choose so they bring in a game
By popular opinion, paper rock scissor
"Three times?" Zain says "who wins? Says first?" Sarang asks "Yes" with a laugh Zain says.
( Rock, paper,scissor)...
Zain wins
(Rock,paper, scissor)...
Sarang wins
(Rock, paper,scissor)...
Laughs and cheers but ultimately it is too close to call. Sarang laughs and says "oh no" "I guess it all you. Go first babe." Zain smiles and says "Not that simple. You see I cannot speak my heart without hearing from it first" "please tell me how you feel. My mind will feel content if you go first. Please." Sarang smiles and nods.
She takes a deep breath. And says:
"Zain, my heart feels nothing but abundance. how my love for you has been testiment that love exists how I did not know how to give without cynical thought of not recieving the same in return. My past is not glorious in love. You show me through your love for me that you are different. That love is kindness in actions but your words reassure me that your every action motivates my heart to keep beating. To beat nonstop without fail. You show me in this action alone. To be here with you in this moment I am free to love. I love you so much and I will eternity even when afterlife become our reality in old age, I will love unconditionally. I love you Zain." She says in tears.
The crowd is moved
Zain smile and says with reassurance
"Sarang, life has been all I have expected it to be until I found you. You blindsided me with all you are. Your personality, your beauty, the way you love me with no effort I am elated by being yours. And yours alone I will be even in afterlife after old age has welcomed it. With no condition, My live for you has been inspiration to change the ways of the life I have lived. The cards that have been dealt are not mine anymore. I have a new deck a new hand that I extend to you. With my efforts and heart clear as day I will show you every day for the rest of my days that this love and you I will cherish. I will honor us in every which way. You make love possible for me for the first time I feel content in love. I have never been more sure of anyone before. I want to be your first every way. Every memory and milestone. Holding your hand and heart as you do for me. I love you. So,so much." He sheds endless tears in his confession. "I love you too" she replies in tears. The ordinant asks to exchange rings
The two boys play 'guess which box' with the two. they are amused. Finally, they get it right and they laugh it off after switching boxes.
Zain puts Sarang's ring on her finger and says: "with this ring, I choose to love in sickness ,health, rich,poor in all my days and after." Sarang says "I do." She puts Zain's ring on his finger and says "with this ring I choose to love in sickness,health,rich,poor in all my days in this life and in the next" Zain says "I do." The ordinant says "with the power of your words and our eyes as witnesses to this matrimony, I pronounce you man and woman, husband and wife,officially. You may kiss" the two smile wide and embrace like no time was wasted. They kiss a deep passionate kiss. As the time stand still in this moment this long kiss defies time itself as with this moment,nothing else matters. At reception, the couple says "We have an anouncement." The couple says everyone look at the firework show. Hues of rainbows blast in the sky until in the sky an ultrasound lights the sky followed by a sparkle of lights blasting in surroundings and then it dissipates as those emerald hues. The crowd goes wild. Tears and smiles fill the room. Hugs of excitement from every guest. Gratitude from the couple. They end the night like a party to celebrate their love. Zain sneaks her away as the party goes on to consummate and their night has become a fairytale beginning for the start of love in a new perspective. No doubts or regrets just happiness.
