Summer turned to Leonardo.
Leonardo pursed his lips, as he was nervous and expectant.
Carl and Warren yelled. "Summer, in front of God, think carefully before giving him the answer."
Leonardo turned and gave them a cold glance.
"Yes, I do." Summer held Leonardo's hand.
Leonardo was confident in everything except matters about her. He didn't have to be nervous because Summer loved him, just as he loved her.
Finally, they vowed together,
"I take thee to be my wedded partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, till death do us part."
After finishing the vows, they looked at each other with their eyes wet.
To them, this was not just about vows. It was something that had deeply engraved in their hearts after experiencing highs and lows together.
Summer closed her eyes when Leonardo kissed her, with tears running down her cheeks.
They had brushed past death many times. After so many ups and downs, they were finally together. From now on, they would live a happy and peaceful life. Only death could separate them.
As their friends, all the guests were moved with red eyes because they knew what they had been through.
Summer couldn't stop crying. Leonardo kissed away her tears and said in a soft and low voice, "What's wrong?"
Summer didn't say anything but shook her head.
She was delighted.
She didn't take it seriously, but now, looking back, she realized they had a hard journey.
