Shortly, a huge hall is where a lot of people are sitting. The officiant walks down the aisle and stands in the middle of the altar. He glances around with a persistent smile on his lips.

Yoongi walks down the aisle and stands at the right side of the altar. Jungkook follows him as the best man and stands on his right.

Taehyung walks down the aisle and stands a little away from Yoongi with the ring box.

A little girl—the flower girl—walks down the aisle followed by Jimin whose hand is held by Kathleen.

Jimin stands in front of Yoongi and flashes a shy smile. Kathleen walks off and sits next to a young man.

The officiant says, 'Today is a day to celebrate. We are celebrating the love, commitment, and friendship of two people who love each other and wish to spend the rest of their lives together. The marriage ceremony is a significant part of nearly every culture, religion, generation, and society. Despite all of our differences, we all share the love. Love is the great unifier, regardless of who we are, where we’ve come from or what we believe in.'

Yoongi inhales shakily upon noticing Jimin's breathtaking looks—tears roll down his eyes.

The officiant continues, 'We can all describe love in many ways and love can look different from one person to the other, but we all know love when we see it. And we can see love right here. Welcome, everyone!'
