Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies
And it's cool, baby, with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh

A week before they got married Lucian and Lucille went to registry office and give their documentation to allow them for the wedding.

The wedding march started.

Officiant: We are gathered here today to witness the sacred union of  Lucian and Lucille.

We stand here to honor and celebrate the love shared between these two people, as they come together to start their new life with a solemn vow, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Lucian and Lucille are overjoyed that you are able to join us here today.

Lucian: I truly can’t think of a better venue than Lake Lucern,
From our birthdates to our jobs,
From our similarities to our differences,
To photographing ourselves
And painting the details,
Learning each others language,
To understanding each other with no words needed,
To all the new things we learned from each other.
I will love you even with language barrier.

Lucille: As if an invisible string ties you to me,
We are always next to each other,
Translating words and travelling around the world,
No matter what, No matter when,
Our Love will make us meet in the end.
The watches reminds us that whenever you are missing the other half, just remember that every minute and every second the other person is waiting for you.

Officiant:

And so now by the power vested in me by The Lord almighty, it is my honor and delight to declare
you husband and wife. You may seal this declaration with a kiss.

Officiant:

I am pleased to present the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Lucian and Lucille Schmidt.

After planting a pine tree that signify the luck and fertility. Guests organise games, write poems and songs, perform skits, play musical instruments, and create elaborate gifts, all honouring-or poking fun at-the bride and groom.

The job of coordinating these productions traditionally falls to the best man and maid-of-honour, who often set up a detailed program of fun-and-games to fill the time between the afternoon's apéritif and the dinner several hours later.

"Ha! Its been a long fun day. Especially that I already have you." Lucian told Lucille.

Lucille faced him and he kissed her fully on the lips. "You know, all I wanted was to become a famous painter. But a masterpiece that I made took several years to be ready, because the person took so long to be back in my arms and I wanted her portrait to be exactly the same as her."

"I cannot take pictures of any painting because it is not the same as yours. I appreciate your art more than anyone elses, Lucian." A kiss on her hair was planted.

Lucian tries to remember more things. "After learning about the wishes I can get in every new church that I enter, from the moment and in every chance that I get. I will always ask for you."

And we kept everything professional
But something's changed, it's somethin' I, I like
They keep watchful eyes on us
So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet
You won't believe half the things I see inside my head
Wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet

"Its is funny how other people's wedding would lead me to my future. It was a blessing in disguise.  All from Andrea's wedding"

"They were there. Have you seen them?"

Lucian brings Lucille to where Lorenzo and Julie are sitting with their 3 year old child. "Hallo, es ist schon eine Weile her."(Hello, its been a while) Lucain started.

"Je suis tellement désolée de ne pas être arrivée à ta photo maternelle avant." Lucille followed with her french. (I'm so sorry for not making it to your maternal shot before. )

They just laugh about it. More guests tries to talk to both Lucian and Lucille with wishing them a happy married life.

"Lucille, look at the time." Lucian excited told her. Lucille then, look at her watch. "What about it?" Confused she ask.

"I wanted to remind you that I love you a little bit more everyday. Each time passes by it grows deeply."

"I love you a little bit more, huh?"Lucille teased him.

"Yes. During the difficult times, I'll love you a little bit more than usual. Also at high times, I love you a little bit more. Its like everyday was not enough for our love to grow deeper." Lucian completely blew her mind.

Lucille was shocked to know why Lucian always tells her he love her a little bit more. All this time she thought that his love for her was not as strong until she heard his reasons.

Tears started to fall. "Thank you for loving me." Lucille acknowledge his feelings even more now that he explains it to her.

"Did you know I studied english just for you. Before I never even go to my english class and I am regretting it the time I met you."

Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do, baby, if you only knew? Oh, oh, oh

With furrowed brows Lucille asked why. "I never thought of travelling outside Switzerland, I kind of lose hope in painting cause a lot of painters doesnt get the recognition they deserve." She felt sad after knowing his reasons.

Lucian takes a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Cheers to more travelling and work with you." He said for a toast and wipes the tears in her eyes. "Cheers!"

They dance slow to the music. Lucian whispers, "I love you a little bit more." Which made lucille smile broadly. "And I love a little bit more."

They observed the atmosphere and rested after a few minutes of a private first dance together as a married couple.

They cut a log that symbolize the fact that couples must work together to get through the challenges they will encounter in the future.

After the wedding ceremony they head out to plant a tree. It was a swiss wedding day tradition. Lucille brought out the pot where a pine tree is planted.

Lucian took a water bottle to wet the soil in their backyard to put the pine tree. "To growing old with you." He said. And they shared a long kiss.
