Chapter 127 The Holy Wedding
At noon on the last day of March, the sun was shining brightly.
Miss Lottie, wearing a gold embroidered one-piece dress, a beaded belt, and a veil on her head, slowly walked out of the lord's mansion on the arm of Baron Galvin. Ron's sister Camille and Lynn's son
As the flower girl, holding flowers in hand, she followed closely behind the bride Lottie.
?At the door of the church, the guests, mainly Baron Antayas and several representatives of noble knights, surrounded the groom Art and entered the chapel first. The groom Art and the best man Ron came down accompanied by the priest Hamish.
Go to the front of the temple altar.
??With the singing of the choir singing, the bride Lottie was led into the church by the usher holding a candle at the door of the church and accompanied by Baron Galvin. When she walked to the altar, Art stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Her left hand gently took Lottie's delicate hand from Baron Galvin, and they both walked slowly to the altar.
??In the chapel, the nobles, squires and their families as spectators and witnesses, as well as representatives of the military and civilian officials of the castle, took their seats one after another.
Seeing that everything was ready, Father Hamish raised his hand to signal the choir to stop singing, then cleared his throat and said: "Brothers and sisters dear to the Lord, we are gathered here today in front of God and all the witnesses.
, witness that the bridegroom, Sir Art Wood Wells, and the bride, Miss Lottie Huguet, enter into a holy marriage covenant before God, a marriage covenant blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ, governed by the commandments of God, and the most sacred covenant in the world.
A sacred marriage contract. Therefore, this marriage contract cannot be performed hastily or easily. It should be performed with sacredness, prudence and the fear of God."
Hamish raised his head again and faced the guests watching the ceremony and asked: "Fellow relatives, friends and believers, today we are gathered here in front of God and His angels and saints to witness the fusion of two souls. I honor the Father, the Son and the
I ask you, in the name of the Holy Spirit, if any of you know of any reason why these two souls cannot be lawfully united, please state it now."
???Everyone in the church remained silent, indicating that they had no objections.
Hamish turned to Art and Lottie who were under the altar and asked: "Sir Art and Miss Lottie, you have expressed your wish and are willing to enter into this sacred marriage contract together, and no one has proved it."
You are not worthy to enter into this sacred marriage covenant. If you know that there are factors between you that prevent you from entering into the marriage covenant, I hope you will speak out boldly before God and everyone."
"In the name of God, our marriage contract is as pure as the holy water in the Garden of Eden." Art and Lottie replied in unison.
"Since all the witnesses and the two newlyweds have no objections to this engagement, let's start the wedding ceremony."
???"Sir Art, are you willing to marry Lottie, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with her before God, love her, comfort her, respect her, and protect her, whether she is sick or not?
In health, rich or poor, stay true to her until she leaves this world."
"In the name of God, I am willing!" Att said with a hint of excitement.
"Miss Lottie, are you willing to marry Sir Art, live with him according to the teachings of the Bible, become one with him before God, love him, comfort him, respect him as you love yourself. Regardless.
He remained true to him in sickness and in health, rich or poor, until he departed this world.”
"In the name of God and the Virgin Mary, I do!"
Hamish nodded and continued: "Please the two newlyweds hand over their rings to receive God's blessing."
Art and Lottie turned around and took the two gold rings from Ron and Camille respectively and placed them on the Bible held in Father Hamish's hand.
Hamish held up two gold rings and said in his mouth: "Let us pray together, the founder of the world, the giver of spirit, the giver of eternal salvation, our Lord God will bless these two rings and let them be worn.
The new couple is blessed by the Lord, Amen!”
After blessing the rings, Hamish said to the two newlyweds: "Now exchange rings as a token of marriage. The rings are gold, which means that you want to give each other your most precious love, like the most precious gift. Gold will never
Being rusty and never fading means that your love will last forever. The ring is round, which means that it has no reservations, has a beginning and an end, and will never break."
??Then Father Hamish picked up a small ring and handed it to Art. Art held the ring in his right hand and took the bride Lottie's right hand with his left hand and said: "With this ring, I will marry you.
I will give you my gold and silver, and I will love you and protect you with my whole life." Then he gently put the ring on Lottie's ring finger.
??Lottie was moved to tears at this moment. She also took the ring handed over by Father Hamish and repeated what she just said with choked sobs.
??After completing the ring exchange ceremony, Father Hamish gestured to the two newlyweds to place their hands on the Bible in his hand and said: "Let us bow our heads and pray, Almighty and everlasting God, please give us a clean heart and an upright heart."
Spirit, do not let selfish desires prevent us from knowing your will, nor let weakness prevent us from obeying your will. In this way, we can see the light in your light through Jesus Christ and gain true freedom in your presence. Please.
Be with us, now and forever. Amen."?
After praying, Father Hamish loudly announced to everyone in the church: "According to the authority given to us by God, I declare that Sir Art Wood Wells and Miss Lottie Huguet are officially married. God has cooperated.
Yes, no one can separate."
Art gently lifted Lottie's veil, revealing her beautiful face that was already filled with emotions...
There was a burst of joyful congratulations in the church. The two newlyweds shared the same communion bread consecrated by God and drank the same cup of consecrated wine in the church.
Next comes the banquet and carnival.
At the banquet, relatives and friends attending the wedding scattered handfuls of flowers, petals and grains on the young couple, and at the same time said: "Be fruitful, be fruitful."
Of course, the wine and feast outside the church had been prepared long ago. The barons, knights, and noble squires who attended the wedding banquet raised their glasses to celebrate Art, the groom. Of course, Galvin and Antayas, the barons, were also at the banquet.
The focus is on Baron Galvin. Although he has a poor reputation, as a member of the Hugues family, his status is higher than those present. Moreover, he is so rich.
After drinking, the whole wooden castle was full of joy and laughter, and people were singing and dancing in a lively manner...

As night fell, the slightly drunk Father Hamish and his servants used holy water and frankincense to bless Art and Lottie's wedding bed on the second floor of the lord's mansion.
After everyone who came to bless the wedding bed left, Art, who had been busy all day, was finally able to spend an unforgettable wedding night with his bride Lottie with his drunken energy.
