The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 2184

Each bride glided down the aisle in a wedding dress of a different hue, none bearing the weight or garishness often expected, but rather carrying the lightness of a morning mist, each gown softly radiant in its beauty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are the grooms handsome?" the emcee, Swift, bellowed with infectious enthusiasm to the guests below.

"Handsome!"

"And are the brides gorgeous?"

"Gorgeous!"

"Do they look like a match made in heaven?"

"Perfect match!"

Applause surged once more, buoying the already spirited atmosphere.

Swift's voice swelled with fervor, "It's a true honor to share this joyful and grand occasion with you all. Let me spill a little secret: each wedding dress you see was specially crafted by the groom for his bride, a unique treasure in all the world."

The audience erupted in another wave of enthusiastic applause, and those tuning in via live stream were green with envy.

"Now, I've got a few questions for our newlyweds," Swift continued, playfully stoking the crowd's excitement, "and I bet everyone here is dying to know, who was the first to say 'I love you' in this love story?" The question not only sent the gathered guests into a frenzy but even those watching live online couldn't contain their excitement.

All six grooms raised their hands in unison, proudly admitting they were the ones to chase their brides.

"Who planned the first date?"

Again, the six grooms raised their hands.

"Who's the romantic one?"

All brides pointed to their grooms without hesitation.

"When you argue, who's the first to wave the white flag?"

The grooms lifted their hands once more, prompting peals of laughter across the hall.

Swift, grinning from ear to ear, chimed in, "I can tell our grooms are chomping at the bit to slip those wedding rings onto our brides' fingers. But to snatch up those diamond bands, they'll have to get past one more challenge—our bridesmaids and groomsmen! Let's give a warm welcome to the bridal party!"

A resounding wave of applause filled the room, lingering in the air.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen appeared atop the same heart-shaped steps where Romeo had made his entrance, standing across a metaphorical Milky Way from the newlyweds.

"Let's have our bridesmaids, representing the bride's family, throw a couple of questions at our grooms," the host announced as the applause roared like an incoming tide.

"We’ve got a few burning questions for groom Romeo," Joyce said into the microphone, her eyes fixed on Romeo across the silvery path, "Will you continue to be as understanding and accommodating to Bella after marriage as you were during your courtship?"

Romeo faced her and replied with earnest sincerity, "Yes, I will."

Mya took the microphone, her gaze locking onto Romeo, "After you're married, Bella will be the boss of the house. Do you agree with that?"

Romeo's smile was both charming and captivating as he responded, "I couldn't agree more."

"Alright, now it's the groomsmen's turn. Let's see if they can secure some extra perks for our groom post-wedding." Swift said with a wink, gesturing for the groomsmen to take their shot.

Derrick held the mic, looking at Arabella on the stage, "Arabella, after you're married, will you let Romeo hang out with us buddies every now and then?"

Before Arabella could answer, Romeo grabbed the mic and declared, "No way."

His only wish was to be home with Bella, no time for anything else.

The room filled with laughter.

Arabella's smile was enchanting as she finally said, "Of course."

"And after a long day, would you be willing to give him a shoulder rub, maybe even a back massage?" Derrick didn't even get to finish before he caught Romeo's warning glare—the kind that silently asked, 'Are you looking for trouble?'

The photographer captured that look, and the guests—along with those watching live—couldn't stop laughing.

It was clear to everyone: Romeo didn't want any perks; he just wanted to be home with his wife, doting on her every chance he got.
