Yongsun was looking at herself in a full-body mirror.

The 30-year-old architect checked the details of her wedding dress.

Tearing up, Mrs. Kim praised her daughter:

__ I'm so proud of you, darling! It makes my heart warm that you two are building such a healthy relationship.

Smiling, the bride-to-be shook her head and complained:

__ You're gonna make me ruin my makeup, omma! Stop with the sentimental conversation.

__ Give me a break! You are my baby. I can't believe you are about to get married.__ The older lady crossed her arms.

The brunette laughed when her mother spoke like that. Then she took a deep breath and confessed:

__ Mom, I'm nervous. What if my Byul Byul gives up marrying me?

Mrs. Kim made a funny face and exclaimed:

__ Byul-YI??? Please. That kid fell in love with you when she was 8. Of course, she won't give up! And even if she had met you recently, I know how much she loves you. In Byul-YI we can trust.

Grinning, the architect walked toward her mother and caressed her face.

__ I love that our family embraced our relationship with so much tenderness. Thank you for being open-minded, omma.

Tearing up again, the older lady kissed her daughter's hand and responded:

__ Love is the most amazing thing in life. It's not about being open-minded, sweetie. You two make each other happy. It's what matters to us all.

Mr.Kim knocked on the door and entered the room.

Smiling, Yongsun's father informed:

__ All the guests arrived. And Byul-YI's grandma is ready to officiate your wedding.

__ What about her? Is she ready? Is she ok?__ The brunette sounded anxious.

Patting his younger kid's back, the man reassured her:

__ Your future wife is cool. You should hurry up instead of making her wait. 18 years was more than enough.

The dark-haired female face palmed and mumbled:

__ That's what I get for dating a girl crush. My whole family is part of her fan club.

__ You're not really complaining, are you? You know most same-sex couple in this country have no family support, right?

The architect glanced at her father with gratitude and touched his shoulder.

__ I know, Dad. I was just kidding. Now...would you take me to my future wife, please?

__ With pleasure.__ The older man held his daughter's arm, and they left the room, followed by Mrs.Kim.

Yongsun looked at the house She and Byul-YI had built and felt proud and fulfilled.

They decided to have their wedding in the yard and invited all their friends and some people from work, apart from their relatives.

The massage therapist was waiting down the aisle and Yongsun forgot to breathe when she saw her lover wearing a very well-cut and modern white suit.

Smiling at her bride with her entire face and eyes, the 24-year-old female placed a hand on top of her heart to calm down, which melted the architect even more.

Mr. and Mrs. Moon were near their youngest daughter, while Grandpa Moon was in a higher position.

Mrs. Kim intertwined her right arm on her daughter's left and her husband did the same on the right.

The trio walked together and Yongsun felt some tears escaping, despite her effort to keep her emotions under control.

Her father hugged Byul-YI while Mr. Moon stepped ahead to hug her.

Then, the mothers did the same, and they stepped aside to let the couple get together.

Shaking, the massage therapist held her future wife's hand, and they exchanged a look of adoration.

Grandpa Moon welcomed the brides and made a heartwarming speech about family, partnership, and love.

The guests cried while grinning with happiness for witnessing such a lovely ceremony.

After finishing what he had to say, the old man asked the couple to express themselves.

Despite being extremely overwhelmed, Byul-YI took a deep breath and looked into her lover's eyes.

__ The first time we met, it was like being hit directly by the sun. Your spontaneous smile warmed my heart and soul and I knew I would love you for the rest of my life. Yong, even though we barely started our journey, believe me when I say that I will never let go of your hand. You are my person, my light, my compass. All I want is to make your days happier.

Wiping a tear that rolled down her cheek, Yongsun gulped before saying:

__ Byul-ah, you may have fallen first. But I fell harder.

Minhyuk and Hyejin shouted "True" from the back and the couple glared at them to make them shut up

__ Anyway... I still remember your cute chubby face and your adorable Indian dimples from the first time I saw you. For someone so rational like me, it was impossible to believe the words of a kid. But thank you for being so sure, self-confident, warm, and passionate. Thank you for choosing me and never giving up. You were right. I am your woman. Not because of conventions. This is what I choose to be. This is who I desire in my heart. I'm so proud and blessed. I'll never let go of your hand, either.

Now they were all crying and Mrs. Moon handed the couple some tissues.

Grandpa exhaled, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and spoke with a trembling voice:

__ Even though we all witnessed the precious words shared by the two of you, I'd like to officially ask you THE question that seals the last deal. So hear me out, everyone. Kim Yongsun, do you take Moon Byul-YI as your wife, as your partner, and as your family?

The brunette responded and was surprised because all her relatives and friends spoke in unison:

__ I do!

Grandpa Moon winked at the couple and asked :

__ Moon Byul-YI, Do you take Kim Yongsun as your wife, as your partner, and as your family?

The massage therapist nodded with enthusiasm before her deep voice cracked when she said;

__ I do!

They both giggled because Byul-YI's family and friends also replied in unison. Including Grandpa Moon.

Patting the couple's arms, the old man spoke with emotion:

__ By the authority vested in me under the laws of love, respect, and acceptance and the website where I got a certificate, I pronounce you wife and wife. Please, seal this moment with a kiss.

Taken by a mix of emotions, the architect and her lover stepped ahead and wiped each other's wet cheeks.

Byul-YI cupped Yongsun's face in her hands and placed a soft peck on her lips.

The brunette's friends and relatives whistled and one of the elders who was treated by Byul-YI shouted:

__ French kiss! Don't be shy now, girls! I'm your neighbor. I know things.

Everybody laughed and the handsome one looked around before holding her woman by the waist and kissing her passionately.
