The guests stared mesmerized at the pair. Though tall and handsome, it wasn't the man that attracted their attention. Instead, it was the woman, the emerald haired and green-eyed beauty whose entire body dazzled in that enchanted, long white gown.

　　If in ordinary days, Iliana was already hard to resist, then with that enchanted robe turning her into a heavenly light beacon, she became irresistible. A G.o.ddess straight out of a wonderland.

　　At her side, under the guise of Anselm, Konrad paled. But that didn't matter, the jealous and greedy eyes furtively daggering him only to reaffirm his pride. Because she was his, and no one, nothing, could ever change that.

　　In tandem, they stepped forward, taking one steady step after the other as they walked down the aisle, awing guests and relatives.

　　Soon, they reached the aisle end where officiant and elders awaited them.

　　"Friends and relatives, welcome. We stand here today to bear witness to the union of these two souls and support them on the road of holy matrimony. However, with just the few of us, how could it ever be enough? Anselm, Iliana step forward."

　　Synchronous, the two stepped forward.

　　"The heaven above, the earth below, the deceased ancestors, the living elders, friends, and peers across all generations. Those are your witnesses. All will remember this day, remember your pledges. And should you break them, all shall scorn you for eternity!"

　　The officiant proclaimed as per custom.

　　"If you have any misgiving, and wish to turn back, now is the time. This is your last opportunity."

　　"We stand here united in embarking on the road of holy matrimony without an ounce of regret!"

　　The two replied in unison.

　　The officiant then proceeded with the traditional wedding vows and after receiving their solemn pledges, motioned for Iliana to present her love token.

　　In the Holy Continent, it was customary for the bride to tear off and tie a hair lock around her future husbands' wrist to symbolize bidding herself to him. Then the husband would sweep her off her feet and lead her to the nuptial chambers to consummate their wedding.

　　Without hesitation, Iliana yanked a few strands of hairs for all to see and tied them around Konrad's right wrist.
