If Sazan was to have one regret it would be not being able to have her father there to give her away. Him just being there would have been enough but sadly that was not possible, and her mother wouldn’t bother coming even if she did want her there. Strangely enough while thinking about her parents she caught somebody from the corner of her eye who looked exactly like Maricul as her hands went into Michael’s but when she turned her head over in that direction, Maricul was no where to be found.
Was that? No it couldn’t be. Why would she?
Sazan turned her glance back to Michael, giving him a smile from behind the veil surrounding her face as she held onto his hands tightly. Her heart racing from all the excitement Sazan finally turned to face Miracle alongside Michael, hardly able to wait for that moment where their lips would meet as man and wife. |

Miracle smiled towards the two, waiting for the music to finally die down before beginning to speak.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man, and this woman, in the bonds of holy matrimony. First Corinthians chapter thirteen, verses four through eight states, "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." therefore, is not to be taken lightly. If anyone here today can show just cause why these two may not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace."
The High Priestess paused to allow any to speak if they wish but only silence took over the temple at this moment, those who opposed them being there for what they are were too afraid to speak out against them. With that out of the way Miracle continued, her eyes directed towards the groom.
"Do you, Michael, standing here in the presence of God and all these witnesses, solemnly pledge your faith to Sazan. To love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, to promise to be to her a faithful and devoted husband as long as you both shall live?"

While Miracle stated those words, he looked to his veiled bride, smiled, and briefly squeezed her hand. For months he dreamed of saying those two words that will forever bind them together. Was he dreaming? He always woke up before he could say them but it was a risk he'll have to take. "I do." With all his heart. This was happening for sure and he couldn't have been happier. Michael sighed in relief, silently. The Crow couldn't help but daydream of their future: children, a house occupied by only them, and a long, happy life freed from all theses troubles. The latter may never happen but...
His thumb gently brushed over her hand; the rest of his dream may happen in the near future or later.

It may not be over for quite some time. Amoura shifted here and there where she stood, still not accustomed to holding still while wearing a dress. The words "Barbie Doll" kept going through her head and it took far too much will power to not twitch her left eye. Barbie Doll?! Why did she think about that? Great, now she was taunting herself. |

Miracle couldn't help but smile at hearing Michael say "I do" before turning her sights onto the bride behind the veil.
"And do you, Sazan, solemnly pledge your faith to Michael. To love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, to promise to be to him a faithful and devoted wife as long as you both shall live?"

Sazan directed a cold glare towards some of those at attendance, mainly Solomon and anyone else who were entertaining the idea of standing up to interrupt her perfect day. Nobody did so and with damn good reason. Sazan told Miracle she couldn’t promise not to hurt anyone if somebody stood up during that part. The smile quickly returned to her face as The Hybrid turned in time for Miracle to address her, feeling Michael’s hand squeeze her own.
“I do.”
In her mind it wasn’t even a question. |

With the final I dos from the bride and groom out of the way it was now time to move onto to the vows of the rings. The second part of wedding that always got Miracle excited. Turning her gaze from Sazan back to Michael the young High Priestess asked, "Michael, what token do you give of the vows you have made?"

"With this ring." Michael took the ring but didn't place it on Sazan's finger yet since there was more to be said from Miracle. The wedding was rehearsed days prior and just yesterday to make sure both understood how the process went.
--
Food. Check. Table decorations. Check. Music. Check. It was easier to pass the time by going through a list of things that were accomplished. Amoura stared down at the bouquet that Sazan had to hand over before the vows were to be taken, and decided to temporarily distract herself by counting the pedals of the flowers. It's not that she wasn't happy for Sazan and Michael! She hated to wear a dress in front of so many people and there had to be a way to keep her mind off this. |

Miracle took the ring and said, "Bless this ring, O Lord, that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in Thy peace, and continue in Thy favor, unto their life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen." and gave the ring back to Michael to give to his bride to be.

Michael slid the ring onto Sazan's left finger and gently held her hand between his. Sazan would be going next.

It was almost over, right? Amoura had counted the pedals twice now and there was no point in repeating the same thing if she knew of the outcome. These heels were killing her. How did women manage standing still in these for hours? |

Miracle smiled at the couple while Michael slip the ring onto Sazan's finger, spotting Amoura out the corner of her eye the young High Priestess suppressed a giggle. Before anyone could notice where Miracle's eyes has wandered she was back looking towards the bride.
"Sazan, what token do you give of the vows you have made?"

“This ring.”
Sazan held up her ring and then turned to face Michael. They had agreed to forgo the blessing of Michael’s ring for very obvious reasons. The Hybrid was not affected by the holy blessings and the blessing of her ring was to show the people that she was indeed, more human than monster. Prolonged exposure in Michael’s case could come back to bite him if they weren’t careful.
“Michael, I give you this ring as a pledge of the sincerity of my vows.”
With that said Sazan slid the ring onto Michael’s finger and smiled up at him from behind the veil before turning back to Miracle. They were soon reaching the end of the wedding ceremony and the moment where Michael would lift up the veil and kiss his new wife before family and friends. Her heart was racing at the very thought of it. |

"The Soul of marriage can be a trusting place where two people can come together from the struggles of the world and feel safe, accepted, and loved.... or it can be a battleground where two egos are locked in a lifelong struggle for supremacy, a battle which is for the most part invisible to the rest of the world. If you are to have the first in your marriage you must work toward it by cultivating your mutual interests and aspirations. You, Michael and Sazan have pledged your devotion to each other. It is not these words that have made your marriage real, but the God of love, who has welded your hearts together as one. He has said, "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
The repeated mention of God may have made some uncomfortable but Miracle insisted on his name being present here today. While many did not share her belief, she did believe that God would keep even the devils and the vampires, should their hearts aspire to be his children.
"Ministering in the name of the Lord Jesus, I now pronounce you husband and wife. May Christ be the Head of your home. May He be the unseen Guest at every meal, the Listener to every conversation. May Christ's love rule your hearts and lives. You may kiss the bride."

[Ayen wanted me to conclude the thread ;D we'll be having another thread with the wedding party  ] "You may kiss the bride."
Michael turned to face Sazan, smiling brightly as ever and raised her veil to reveal her face. Nothing will interrupt this perfect moment. There were no explosions, no gunfire, no demons or other adversaries standing in the way that he was more than willing to take on earlier to ease the nervous state.
Michael pressed his lips against Sazan's.
---
Was it over? Finally. Not only was her brother married but she now had another sister to look after. More family. The Night Angel's mind wouldn't be plagued by misery or worry during this happy occasion; for once she saw a bright future ahead for those she loved.
As Michael and Sazan, no, Mr. and Mrs. Gatekeeper walked down the aisle, everyone followed in suit out the door. It was time for celebration.
"Shinyyyyyy!"
First Amoura will have to get that Flower Girl of a shapeshifter under control. |
