"Hey, i am not that easy!" Orm defend herself as she wipe her tears after hearing the vow Ling had. It might be the longest sentence that the Attorney ever uttered in her life but each words were seeping deeply through her soul.
Ling throw her head back in laughter and face the guest, "My bad, she is not that easy guys!" The guest roared in laughter with that half hearted attempt of Ling to save herself before the Judge motion for Orm, indicating its her turn to say her vows.
"Hi," Orm laughs to start her vow. She felt tears streaming down her face already and she hasn't even started what she wanted to say yet. She looked up for a moment to hold back the tears that threatened to fall uncontrollably "I honestly don't know what draws me in to you. " She laughed and then cleared her throat to resume again. Ling was looking at her teary and tenderly. "I just simply knew that if there's one person I want to spend my life with, then it will be, without question, only You. I've been a witness of how resilient you are, how dedicated and how privileged I am to know that you had only ever love me in this life. I am thankful that you came home to me. I will always be. Despite the hardship of it all, despite everything that happened. I still want you to come home. After everything, it's still you." Orm swallowed her tears again and smiled through her tears.
"Despite the years, the distance, the time, despite all the reasons. My rational mind already wanted to let you go before. I tried but it's still you. It's still you that I come back to in my quietest thoughts, in the corner of my heart. It's with deep happiness to know that you are the love of my life. It's always been you and I know it always will be. I promise to be your home. Your solace. Your comfort. Thank you for loving me and I promise to love you more even in our darkest days."
Ling, overwhelmed by a wave of deep tenderness and affection in her heart, leaned in to softly press her lips against the smooth skin of her beloved wife.
There's no eyes left unshed on the venue after that vow. Everyone was teary. Mae Koy along with Charlotte was sobbing. Even King was heard saying his eyes were just sweating.
"Hey, I didn't even say that you can kiss the bride yet!" The presiding judge jokingly scolded them and laughter filled the room. "But if you insist, go on. I now pronounce you partner and married for life, you may now kiss each other."
Ling chuckled and softly turned to her wife. Like warmth of the morning sun, so do thoughts of Orm always embrace her, reliving it of its shadows and marking the start of their new beginning as both leaned in to kiss each other softly in the lips along with the applause of their closest family and friends.
The wedding went smoothly and all of them proceeded to the nearby garden where the wedding reception is. The flowers that Ling planted months prior were all growing well, some already started blossoming. The team that they hired to decorate the venue did a great job transforming it to something intimate and cozy and thus, the reception program begins with the married couple taking their first dance.
She didn't mean. She swore her life and in the name of her ancestors that its not what she intend to but Ling's mind was going a thousand kilometre per hour thinking of what comes next. It's just a sudden thought but Ling felt herself heating up with the thought of Orm, her heart racing with the anticipation of finally getting to call her partner her wife and share their first night together as a married couple. The idea of waking up beside the person she loves, feeling their warmth next to her, and basking in the glow of their newlywed love filled her with an overwhelming sense of contentment and joy. She imagined the tender moments they would share, from whispered conversations in the darkness to stolen kisses and gentle caresses. Ling could hardly contain her excitement as she pictured the room adorned with flowers, the soft glow of candles illuminating their faces, and the feeling of being completely enveloped in love and happiness. Every detail of their upcoming night together played out in her mind like a beautiful dream, making her pulse quicken and her cheeks flush with a mixture of passion and love.
