911 Married: Finally Husband And Wife
Carmelo looked at his baby girl and felt emotional.
He had never seen her in anything that remotely looked like a dress since she was 4.
So seeing her walk towards him gave him so much shock that he just stood there in a daze.
His daughter was indeed breathtaking.
He didn't know why, but he felt like that smelly boy would kidnap his baby girl.
Of course, he had been preparing himself emotionally for this day for a long time.
But no matter how he prepared, he had to admit that he was still unwilling.
Even though he loved all his children, as a parent, there would always be one that will be your favourite.
And Penelope, in a nutshell, was daddy's girl.
So how emotions were almost gushing out as tears tried to escape his eyes.
Dammit.
The last time he cried was when he was an infant, and now, his eyes were getting moist.
At this moment, all the scenes of her from childhood till now flashed through his mind with every step that she took.
He felt very proud of her and was even happier that he got this rare opportunity to walk his baby down the aisle.
Penelope looked at him, smiled and held his hands.
It was time for the father of the bride to escort her in.
"Father, you look good."
"Hahahhaha.
You this child, aren't I the one who is supposed to say that."
"Hmm. You're right. Praise me then."
"_"
Carmelo's tears went right back in.
Sigh...
His daughter really knew how to break a magical moment.
With that, just as rehearsed, they slowly stepped into the Dome-shaped building while following the beat of the music.
Everyone turned within the massive dome turned their heads and were in awe.
As expected of their Queen, even when choosing a rogue wedding attire, she still managed to make it look effortless and dashing.
Santa's heart speeded up when he saw her dazzling appearance.
How could one person be so beautiful?
Gosh!
Hopefully, he got his lines right because when he looked at her, his mind went blank.
Soon, Penelope had reached the forefront alongside Carmelo.
With that, the ceremony officially began.
The chief Keeper of the Sanpodia dome, A.K.A, the chief Sapo/lead priests, stepped forward with a smile on his face.
And wouldn't you know it, rather than having someone place a megaphone close to his mouth as usual... this time, one of the Baymardians was by his side with a microphone instead.
The head Sapo opened the printed wedding booklets and began reading from them.
[Dearly beloved. We are gathered here in the sight of the Goddess of Fertility and in the face of the congregation, to join together this man and woman in sacred matrimony.]
.
The ceremony went by very well.
The Baymardian choir, coupled with some of the Caronians, sang very touching hymns.
And if anyone wanted to follow along, they could open the booklets and sing too.
Again, when it came to trading the scriptures, they were read by the Sapos.
But when it came to giving a brief sermon, one of the most famous Baymardian priests stepped forth and did so.
During his sermon, there were times that people laughed and other times that people cried.
He had a unique gift of fully drawing people into his stories, explanations and words.
Some people were just like that.
They could draw you in and make you feel whatever pain, happiness or emotion that they wanted you to feel.
The children and others wept and sniffed a bit in sadness before later laughing in joy.
There was a solid moral lesson that was pulled from it all, making people somewhat enlightened.
For those who had ever experienced such enlightenment through the sermons, they couldn't help but look at the Baymardian priests in appreciation.
No wonder that the Baymardian Church is so famous.
Some had heard of it but had never seen it.
So it was all very mind-opening to them.
The feeling was good.
The ceremony continued, and before everyone knew it, the bangles were melted, the vows were expressed, and the rings were exchanged.
The ceremony was a hit since it wasn't too long and very fascinating to them.
But what made them laugh was Penelope.
From the moment the Sapo said: [You may now], she didn't even wait for him to finish his sentence and kissed Santa.
"We're married now, wedding over."
"Hahahhahahabhahahhaha!"
Everyone laughed hard because, throughout the ceremony, they had seen her impatience.
Aiyo... Their queen must really want to get married to her beloved fast.
.
Lucy and the rest facepalmed themselves while Santa, on the other hand, coughed to hide his embarrassment.
He was sure that if possible, the woman would pick him up princess-style ans storm out of here without a care in the world.
That was how lawless she was when it came to things like this.
Landon, William and the rest were also speechless as well.
They looked at Santa and smiled playfully.
With a wild cat for a wife, there was no doubt that their buddy here will be 'the bottom' while she will be 'the top.'
Not that they were combining, after all... Penelope was the only one who complimented him well.
This playful bastard needed a stern wife rather than a cute, soft one.
Why?
Because even they had to admit that Santa was too much.
Duke Walter Hamilton, Santa's father, also thought the same as well.
His last son was truly something else.
But with Penelope here, he believed that the boy will always be on the right track.
Just look at how she forced him to eat healthily, hence sliming him down?
It wasn't so much as Santa's body size that worried him, his father.
No, it was just that last year, Santa had a medical examination and was advised to lose weight and avoid certain foods or eat them at minimum ratios.
But Santa was very reluctant.
He claimed that it was his right to die unhealthy if he chose to.
He even heard that the fool threatened to run away like a little child.
And he almost did, if not for the fact that Penelope caught him and dragged him right back in the middle of the night.
Of course, he knew that the fool didn't honestly want to run away.
Instead, he was planning to sneak out and eat to his heart's content.
After that incident, Penelope grounded to remain in the place without stepping out for 2 months, undergoing more military training since he seemed so free.
Duke Walter felt that the fool needed a tough wife.
And Penelope was just that.
Everyone else agreed on this matter too.
.
The wedding had officially ended, leaving everyone very pleased.
But for Landon, he knew that the moment had come.
The enemy was here!
