Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 845 The Big Wedding (Part Two)

"All right," said Wing softly. She pulled the hemline up of her dress on one side, went over to Molly and reminded her gently, "Molly, you still have to finish the ceremony here..." She then glanced in the direction of Brian. "I'm afraid someone would be very nervous..." Molly nodded and gave her a small smile as she glanced at Brian as well.

Just at that moment Daniel approached Eric and gave him a salute and said, "I think the person walking my sister down the aisle today should be me."

"Yes, of course," Eric said with a light smile. After giving Molly a glance he stepped aside and gestured for Daniel to step in.

The orchestra once again began to play the romantic melody of 'the wedding march', and the guests settled back into their seats. All of their eyes were on Daniel, who looked majestic in his uniform. He stood tall and proud and offered his right arm to Molly. She gazed across at her brother and gave him a warm smile while she encircled the crook of his arm with hers.

The two then walked slowly down the aisle towards Brian. Edgar and Eric stood back and watched from behind as Daniel and Molly walked further and further down the red carpet.

"She'll be happy," Edgar suddenly said. He didn't know if he felt jealous of Brian or was comforting himself at this moment. But, under the brim of his cap there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Eric regarded Edgar and wondered, 'I know exactly how you became a Major General in the army and Cousin Brian must have used that fact to his advantage and successfully organized for Daniel to attend his wedding.'

"Arrange a seat for General Gu," Eric ordered in a light tone.

"Yes, young master," Lenny answered obediently as he gestured to Edgar. "General Gu, please follow me."

Edgar nodded to Eric and then followed Lenny to his seat.

Daniel had walked Molly to the end of the aisle and while he looked at Brian many memories suddenly came flooding back that tugged at his heartstrings. Even so, Daniel didn't falter, instead, he straightened his back and showed his military pride and said, "Brother-in-law, I am now delivering my sister's hand to you. I know that you will treat my sister well and so I have nothing to tell you on behalf of my parents." He then placed Molly's hand in Brian's and said sincerely, "Brother-in-law, thank you for not giving up on my sister, and for your sincere love for her."

Brian took Molly's hand in his and handed her the bridal bouquet. He then nodded slightly to Daniel and led Molly to the altar to stand before the priest.

Daniel then left them and sat next to Mark joining the rest of the guests. He had a big smile on his face and his eyes were filled with nothing but happiness and blessings for the couple.

"Brian Long, do you take Molly Xia as your lawfully wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, keeping only unto to her for as long as you both shall live?" asked the priest in a dignified voice.

As Brian held Molly's hand he looked at the priest solemnly and said in a decisive tone, "I do! I am willing to be by her side for the rest of my life and no matter what challenges we may face in the future, I will always be there for her," he added as he looked at Molly. Molly gave him a sideways glance and beamed at him.

"Molly Xia..." said the priest as he looked at her and asked in the same dignified voice. "Do you take Brian Long as your lawfully wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort and cherish him from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, keeping only unto to him for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do!" Molly replied, with tears of joy in her eyes. Then she continued, "If he doesn't forsake me, I will still love, honor, comfort and cherish him from this day forward! Yet, even if he does forsake me, I will still love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward!" She then turned her head to Brian and said earnestly, "Bri, once I had many reasons to leave you, but..." The tears welled up and ran down her cheeks. "I still stayed by your side for only one reason and that's because I love you so much!"

Brian looked at her with misty eyes and a lump in his throat. He then leaned over and gently kissed Molly on the lips. The guests watched and each of them had a pleased smile on their faces when Brian kissed her.

Suddenly the sound of applause rang out loudly and echoed throughout the whole church. All of the guests, even the elders or senior politicians, stood up and applaud for the newly married couple. Every one of the guests had a sparkle in their eyes and were delighted for the happy couple.

Cathy gazed at the newly weds and her eyes were also red with tears. She couldn't help but applaud as hard as she could. 'For the longest time, I have deeply appreciated you, Molly. If it wasn't for you, my mom wouldn't have received the timely treatment and my little sister may have stopped receiving an education. Also, I couldn't be more thankful to Brian, because he gave my entire family a new lease on life.

These two people standing before me have such a special meaning in my life. They managed to get through all of the obstacles that were thrown their way and now they are finally married. I am sincerely happy for them from the bottom of my heart.' she thought touched by the moment.

Then all of the unmarried girls quickly gathered together forming a small crowd. Molly stood with her back turned to them and then she glanced back with a cheeky grin. She then turned back to face Brian, who was standing in front of her and smiled broadly at him as she threw the bridal bouquet over her shoulder into the crowd of girls.

Squeals of delight could be heard as the girls dived for the bouquet. Once Molly threw the flowers she quickly turned just in time to see Cathy holding the fresh bouquet of flowers in her hands. Her cheeks were flushed red and she unwittingly glanced at a someone who was standing on the side of the Long family.

While everyone was laughing in joy, Lenny whispered a few words to Eric and then nodded and walked out.

However, a few moments later he returned holding a bouquet of Lilium Casa Blanca in his arms and he then strode over to Molly. "Little Molly, these are from Spark," he said in a pleasant tone. ☐☐☐☐☐☐
