"I, Levi Ackerman, pledge to take Hanji Zoe as my wife. I pledge to always be by her side, through the tough times. When she cries, I will wipe her tears. I pledge to remain faithful and loyal to her. My heart will only beat for her, and her only. I love you, Hanji Zoe, but words cannot express how much I do. I pledge to be your husband and will perform any duties you want me to do. With this hand, I will take yours and walk through the sands of eternity."

"I, Hanji Zoe, pledge to take Levi Ackerman as my husband. I pledge to always stay by your side from the best to the worst times in our lives. I pledge to be with you, from losses to gains. I pledge to remain faithful and loyal to you, and only you. I will never look at another person the same way I look at you. Levi Ackerman, I love you past my dying breath. Beyond death, I want to continue being your wife. I pledge to be your wife, performing any duties necessary for a life full of joy and happiness. With this hand, I take yours and walk with you through the sands of eternity."

"When death approaches, we will not part." We say in unison. 

"I now pronounce you... husband and wife."

Our kiss sealed our fates together. From this day forth, we are husband and wife. Hanji and I discussed this before and we said that the day we divorce will be the worst day of our lives. If we find ourselves unhappy and children are present, we will take measures to ensure the happiness of our children and part. However, we were confident that that day would never come. As we pledged to each other, we will remain faithful and loyal. No matter how tough things get, we'll get through the issues together.

Friends and family gathered at our small wedding, cheering and celebrating our marriage. We didn't want them to be here. Eloping would've been fine. But they insisted and offered to pay for everything. Even the honeymoon. I couldn't turn their offer down.

The day was long, but it was never uneventful. As dinner approached, everyone feasted on everything. When it was time to cut the cake, it was a little messy. Hanji decided to shove a small piece of cake onto my cheek, but I kissed her back. Today, I convinced myself that being a little messy was okay. There were more speeches, but it wasn't much. Just boring. And the dancing. It was something I didn't think much of, but dancing with my wife? I forgot everyone was around me and danced with her. The way we moved together was a precious moment I don't want to forget.
