Chapter 705 Formally Married
Under the admiring gaze of the guests, Eliana slowly walked towards Maurice, holding Rosamond's arm.
Eliana was extremely nervous and her nervousness only grew with each step.
The grass under her feet was very soft.
Eliana lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Rosamond reacted quickly and held Eliana's arm tightly so that Eliana wouldn't be embarrassed in public.
But even so, Eliana’s body still inevitably leaned to the side, which Maurice did not fail to notice, as he kept his eyes on her the whole time.
Seeing that she almost fell to the ground, Maurice touched his forehead helplessly.
How could Eliana still be so careless? By this time, Eliana had regained her balance and breathed a sigh of relief.She didn't notice the helpless look in Maurice's eyes.
Luckily for Eliana, at this time, everyone's attention was on the three adorable kids behind her, so no one noticed her small mistake.
As they continued to walk forward, Rosamond whispered to Eliana, "Don't look at the ground.Just focus on the handsome groom and think about the happy life you'll have after wedding ceremony."
Rosamond was once married, so her words gave Eliana courage.
Eliana looked up and looked straight ahead.
The transparent white veil couldn't cover her sight.She decided to focus on Maurice, who was at the end of the flowery path.
Maurice seemed to have received a signal from his woman, and he stretched out his hand to her.
A happy smile appeared on Eliana’s face.
Rosamond was right.She just needed to focus on Maurice.
Putting aside all the thoughts that distracted her, Eliana walked firmly towards Maurice.It was only a few minutes' walk, but it felt like she was going through her whole life.
Finally, Eliana came to Maurice and she took his hand.
The warmth of his palm instantly calmed her down.
Maurice gently held her hand, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
"You are finally here," he whispered.
"Yes, I'm here."
Eliana stared at Maurice with the same tenderness in her eyes.
The two of them looked at each other affectionately.
They were such a perfect couple.
Rosamond was so moved by the scene that her eyes turned red.
"Maurice, I'll leave Eliana to you as from today.You must make her happy, understand?"
"Miss Deleon, I give you my word I will make her happy and protect her my whole life," Maurice replied seriously.
Rosamond nodded with satisfaction.
She gently stroked Eliana’s arm and said emotionally, "Eliana, be happy, okay? I'm leaving now."
Tears welled up in Eliana's eyes.
After her mother's death, Rosamond was the first person to make her feel that maternal warmth that she so desired.
"Thank you for everything, Miss Deleon..."
Rosamond smiled with relief, then turned around and left.When she turned around, she looked up at the sky.
"Ingrid, your daughter has finally found her happiness.You must be happy in the heaven now," she mumbled.
The groom and the bride finally stood on the stage.
The guests were very excited.
Dressed in his black robe, the amiable priest gazed at the couple in front of him for a while.
Then he opened his mouth and addressed the groom.
"Maurice, do you want to marry Eliana, live with her according to the Bible, become one with her in the presence of God, love her as you love yourself, comfort her, respect her and protect her? Do you agree
to stay with her in health and in sickness, in riches and in poverty? Do you agree to always be loyal to her and never leave her, until you leave this world?"
Maurice looked Eliana straight in the eye with a firm resolve.
"Yes, I do.No matter in the past or in the future, she will always be my first and only choice."
The priest nodded with satisfaction.He then looked at the bride and repeated the same words.
"Eliana, do you want to marry Maurice, live with him according to the Bible, become one with him in the presence of God, love him like you love yourself, comfort him, respect him, and protect him? Do you agree to stay with him in health and in sickness, in riches and in poverty? Do you agree to always be loyal to him and never leave him, until you leave this world?"
Eliana's eyes were slightly red and a whirlwind of emotions surged through her heart.
What happened in the past flitted through her mind.It was Maurice's firmness that gave her the courage to start over.
Tears eventually fell down from the corners of her eyes.
In a voice choked with sobs, she replied firmly, "I do." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The priest stretched out his hands and announced aloud, "Taking God to witness, I now pronounce you husband and wife."
