"I, Raymond Darlene. Take you, Stephanie Lorraine Monica, to be my wife, to own and care for each other from now on forever. When It's hard or happy, rich or poor ... And when It's healthy or sick. always love and respect each other until death does us part, according to God's holy law, and this is my very sincere promise." Raymond said following what the priest taught. During that time his gaze never left Monica's eyes, who wore colored contact lenses blue. the gaze was so sincere with a warm smile on his handsome face.

Monica was silent looking at Raymond who was so sincere in saying the sacred promise to her. Her body trembled because her heart was beating fast, her body seemed weak and her lips felt dry, slowly her eyes filled with tears because the emotion of the love she had been waiting for all this time finally came true even so sincerely felt.

the priest asked Monica to follow what he said slowly,

"I, Stephanie Lorraine Monica, take you Raymond Darlene to be my husband ... To own and for care each other from now on forever. When It's hard or happy ... Rich or poor ..., And when it's healthy or sick. always love and respect each other until death does us part. According to God's holy law, and this is my very sincere promise." Trembling and staring at Raymond who smiled warmly at her, Monica said the vows in a hoarse voice that even made her almost cry, not done yet, don't cry!

"Now, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," exclaimed the priest who was a middle-aged man.

Raymond looked down and looked at Monica who looked up at him, then kissed her lips gently with his eyes closed and slowly the bride hugged and sobbed in her arms.

"Hey don't cry, isn't this the wedding we've been waiting for?" Raymond let go of Monica's arms and wiped her tears with his thumb.

"I, I was too scared. You faced a dangerous situation when you were going to marry me ... And all that you went through, I was too happy and felt fought for," Monica said while sobbing and bending her face.

"Because I will always fight for you because this love is sincere for you. Don't cry anymore, this is our happy day. Forget the bad shadows that exist, because I am fine and will always be by your side." Raymond tried to calm Monica, then kissed her forehead, then hugged her tightly.

Bryana who saw the sacred moment between Raymond and Monica was moved to tears because she remembered her parents who could not accompany her brother to get married, even before marriage he had to fight an unexpected enemy.

"Don't cry, he's happy now, he won't be lonely anymore and he'll be like us," Dean shouted, wiping Bryan's tears with his handkerchief.

"I'm just too happy and relieved. He finally found happiness after experiencing the sadness of being abandoned by his mother, betrayed by Elsa and Kareen, always busy taking care of family security, he got the love that will always accompany and encourage him," said Bryana while wiping her tears with a Dean's handkerchief.

Dean sighed. "We just pray that they will always last, like us."

Bryana nodded and stood up to applaud like the other witnesses who also stood to greet Raymond and Monica who walked down from the Altar across the white carpet and were sprinkled with red and white roses by the Bridesmaids.

all the witnesses smiled congratulating Monica and Raymond from a distance until they stopped in front of Dean and Bryana.

"Congratulations Monica, you are finally my sister-in-law," said Bryana with a smile so happy looking at Monica's beautiful face with reddened eyes because of crying. She immediately hugged the secretary who became her sister-in-law.

"Welcome to our family and you must be a strong woman, always optimistic that everything will be okay. Our husbands are strong men and will always stand up in all circumstances for us. You know that, right?" Bryana rubbed Monica's back, Monica goes of her hug.

Monica nodded and wiped her tears that were again falling just like that. She couldn't say anything other than smiling happily because he could be a sister-in-law to Bryana who had always been her boss and best friend.

"This is the first time I've seen a battered-faced bride," Dean muttered with an amused smile at Raymond.

Monica and Bryana also chuckled.

"Besides, it's safer in the car, but instead joins the fight. So he's battered," said Bryana with a happy smile.

"That's for the sake of not being late to meet my bride. I know she must have been waiting for me," said Raymond, embracing Monica from the side. He turned his head and kissed the forehead of the woman he had just married passionately.

Monica fell silent with a shy smile and a blush on her very pretty face.

"Congratulations, Monica. After this, I lost the most trusted employee. I'm sure, Raymond will take you to London sooner or later," Dean said with a mocking smile.

"Oh, yes. I will find a new employee who is better than me," Monica said with a pitying look at Dean.

"Oh no!" Raymond exclaimed, glancing at Dean. "You have to find your employees because I'm going to take her on a honeymoon soon."

"Honeymoon?" Monica was silent with a somewhat awkward expression imagining what kind of honeymoon Raymond wanted with her later. They haven't had their first night yet, and there's even a bit of awkwardness because they haven't confessed their love for each other for a long time.

"That's not a problem, because I will help my husband to select a confidant. It's an easy thing for me while I haven't given birth yet," Bryana said while embracing Dean's left arm.

"Ah, yes. You're just having fun. Forget about work, and I'm sure your new husband will make you forget about work anymore," Dean exclaimed, smiling at Monica, then turning to look at Bryana. "Isn't that right, honey?"

"Ah yes, that's right. Love can make you forget about work. better focus on making babies, Hahaha ..." Bryana said ending with a laugh, glancing at Monica who was shy. She couldn't imagine being happy that the girl would become a mandatory dish for her brother in bed.

"Don't say like that!" Monica exclaimed with a rosy hue on her face that was already like a boiled crab ready to eat.

Dean and Raymond just chuckled in a happy mood glancing at their respective partners.

"Oh, yes. I want to take a picture of this beautiful moment," said Bryana as she took her small cream-colored bag on the chair, then took her smartphone.

Bryana also took a picture of Raymond and Monica, then asked Dean to take a picture of himself with the newlyweds, then asked Dean to take a photo with the bride and groom, even Calvin and Sofia and the other Bridesmaids started taking pictures.

After finishing the photo together, Monica and Raymond also received congratulations from Monica's close relatives, the family of Dean and Bryana, and other guests.
