Zitao walked out and the music started.
She collocated herself in one of the seats, remaining quiet
Rem sits himself down in a chair as well.
Hana and Aiden prance out through the aisle, a basket between them filled with beautiful pink petals. Small hands scoop up handfuls as they walk down toward the arch of flowers were their sister would be married. The petals fall to the earth, kissing the ground to cushion the bride's steps as they would make her way to the altar. Behind them, Jaj follows, two rings resting upon a pillow. The small crowd of three made their way to the front, and then they all came to a stop near the dark haired priest. The music transitioned, a soft piano drifting out over the grounds.
A deep breath filled his lungs, the male perhaps nervous as his feet slid quietly across the platform. A dark suit adorned his body, a white shirt and shoes contrasting his appearance. With a smile, he would glance down toward the entrance where Taozi would come into view.
Taekwoon followed the gentle peals of music, his eyes drifting down to the beautiful bride on his arm. A hand rose to give her arm a comforting squeeze before he looked ahead to see the seemingly nervous groom. Even though he tried to keep his smile dimmed to befit the occasion, it soon brightened into a full-fledged grin as he led Taozi down the aisle.
The first step taken was the hardest for Taozi, hoping to see her loved one waiting for her just on the other side. Feeling the gentle hand on her arm, She looked up with a subtle laugh upon noting the slight worry across Wufan's features. He was just as nervous and somehow it comforted the kitten. Once arrived at the altar, Taozi turned to give Taekeoon a kiss to the cheek.
-Quietly sits himself in the back with a pocketful of popcorn-
Taekwoon accepted the kiss with a silent chuckle and stepped off to the side, folding his hands to watch to scene take place.
Jinri gasped softly at the sight of the gorgeous bride as she walked down the aisle, a happy grin on her face.
Seungyeon shifted in her spot as she watched the scene, licking her lips
Zitao smiled at the groom and bride before him and opened the bible in his grasp, the words flowing from his lips as he prepared to wed the two. "We gather here to unite these two people in marriage. Their decision to marry has not been entered into lightly and today they publicly declare their private, or not so private, devotion to each other. The essence of this commitment is the acceptance of each other in entirety, as lover,
companion, and friend. A good and balanced relationship is one in
which neither person is overpowered nor absorbed by the other, one
in which neither person is possessive of the other, one in which
both give their love freely and without jealousy.
Marriage, ideally, is a sharing of responsibilities, hopes, and dreams.
It takes a special effort to grow together, survive hard times, and be loving and unselfish." Zitao looked at the two in turn, his gaze soft yet serious. “Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?"
Taozi took Wufan's hand in her own to give a reassuring squeeze, her gaze focused on the brilliant color or his eyes. Her smile was the brightest it’s ever been, nothing could take this moment from her.
"I do. Of course."
Cerulean eyes fell upon the woman soon to be at his side. All worry melted away, and the softest of smiles stretched across crimson lips. She was gorgeous. He had never seen her so, and she was here to stay. The male turned slightly to face Zitao, and he listened quietly, excitement welling.
"I do, always."

"Do you pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you, so that they may learn from your love and be encouraged to grow in their own lives?"
His lips curled sweetly, and his head dipped ever-so as the male glanced toward the glowing bride. "We do."
"We definitely do." She chuckled softly, glancing away shyly with the largest of grins.
"May the rings you have be blessed as a symbol of your union. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other. You may now say your vows, Yifan." A smile curved Zitao's lips as he looked at his blood brother and the happiness emanating off of him in waves. The sigh of Yifan this happy would no doubt stay with him forever.
Jaj removs Taozi's ring from his pocket, along with a small piece of paper, and he hands them over to the angel with a smile.
Wufan drew a soft breath, his hand reaching for her own. So small, her hands were within his larger grasp. So delicate, she was. A gentle nudge and his attentions were torn away. He took the ring, and his vows, and he held them out.
"You've been my best friend for nearly four years now. When I needed a friend, you were always there for me. Never did I know that you would still be here three years later. I had no way of knowing my wish to make you my wife would come true. You are an amazing woman, and I don't know how I got so lucky. Now, it's my turn to be here for you. Taozi, through thick and thin, we've been together. And now, with these vows, I promise to always love you. My love for you will never fade, even when we are old and feeble. I'll carry you up those stairs and hold you close as we fall asleep together. I promise to care for you no matter what. You'll never need to worry for anything. My credit card can always be yours to acquire and my love will always be there when you need it most. I promise that I’ll hold you when you're sad, and I’ll kiss away every tear. And when you're happy, I'll be there to sweep you off your feet. You'll always be my star in the dark of night, and my heart when mine ceases to beat. I'll never be lost when at your side, you've saved me from the worst already. Huang Taozi, I promise to be yours, and only yours. I promise to love and to cherish you as long as we both are alive and even after death."
The ring was gently slipped upon her finger, carefully as if it might be made of glass.
"With this ring, I thee do wed."
His smile widened as he turned to the bride. "You may now say your vows, Taozi."

The young fae offers over the last ring with a soft hum, his head dipping softly to her. Fingers slip over her vows, and then he retreats away from the two to give them their space.
Taozi drew in a deep breath to keep her eyes from misting, though the subtle mention of Wufan's credit card made her laugh. A constant joke between the two, though it showed their humor well. She took her own vows and the ring with a delicate grasp, caressing her lover's hand. "Your poor bank account.." She grinned, clearing her throat.
"From the moment we first met, I knew that you would take a special place in my heart. I was in a bad place at the time but you knew just how to make things better, how to make me smile when I thought I couldn't. I cannot recall any other person who has taken care of me better than you have these past couple years, and when I think back to all the times you've wiped my tears away, it makes me feel very blessed to love someone so genuine and so kind despite that hard shell you keep around your soft side. You've given me everything I could possibly ask for and much more, given me a place to call home although anywhere is considered home when I'm with you. I know your heart's been broken many times before me, and the same goes for myself, and I think because the both of us have experienced many hard times we will be together for a long time. You are my rock, the roots keeping me down on earth to forbid Mr from slipping away. I thank you for ridding my life of the many dark places I was trapped in. I don't know where I would be without you, and I would never want to know what it's like. You're absolutely wonderful and I love you with every piece of this shattered and mended heart that I have inside of me. It's yours to keep, and only yours. With that, I promise myself to you during our journey together. And to our friends and family, may we all live peacefully."
She slipped the ring securely around his finger, releasing a sigh of content. "With this ring, I thee do wed."
The male's lips parted in a smile, one filled with all the joy he could muster. This day, both demon and Angel were one. Both were happy, the like of which they never thought possible. The ring felt cool against his finger, but it was comforting reminder that they were now one. Her promises had washed all worries away.
Zitao looked between the two, no longer just bride and groom, but now husband and wife. Or, almost. Closing the Bible silently, he said the last lines. "Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have the gifts of your lives united. And may your days be long on this earth. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." With this, he stepped back to allow them their room.
His fingers curled beneath the sheer material of her veil, even though it covered little of her slight features. He lifted it back, reveal sharp ocean blue eyes. Fingers slipped around her neck, and his palm pressed gently against her hip. He tipped forward, hand pushing her back in a tradition dip that brought a soft laugh from the Angel. For a second, eyes swirled in an odd mixture of scarlet and sapphire as lips pressed chastely to his wife's tiers. For an instant, both brothers were there, and in another instant, Wufan gazed at her alone.
"I love you."
The younger nearly wanted to pounce Wufan down, but the thought soon faded as her veil was slipped away. A delicate hand slipped over to rest upon his shoulder, the other on his cheek. She too, laughed as she was tipped back, returning the kiss appropriately before smiling.
"I love you too."

Eyeing the happy couple knowingly, Zitao clapped his hands together and stepped around the two to face the guests. "Everyone is invited to adjourn to the tents for food and dancing." Smiling mischievously, he came to stand next to his lover and offered an arm with a sly wink. "Why don't we give them a few moments."
