Octavian and Veronica broke the news to everyone they knew. Then they introduced each other to their parents. Each partner observed the roots they came from. They both came to the realization of why they've been together for as long as they have so far. The two spent three months planning their wedding. September 15th. The best man for Octavian was his cousin, Marik. Veronica's maid of honor was Denise. Octavian's nephew, Demetrius and Veronica's younger cousin, Amber tossed flower petals for the aisle for Veronica to walk down. As Octavian witnessed Veronica walk down the aisle, he heard his inner voice say to him: "Mission accomplished. Now cherish this victory." "I will" Octavian said quietly to himself answering the voice. When Veronica was walked down by her father, he took a deep breath. Then the minister began. "We are gathered here today to witness two people, merge as one." As he continued, he then asked: "Mr. Octavian, do you take Veronica to be your lawful wedded wife? For better or for worse? For sickness and in health? Till death still you part?" Octavian answered with a strong and firm: "Yes". He then interrupted the minister. "And Veron-", "And death may do us part, but life will bring us back together. For that I got that much faith in us" Octavian said trying to hold back his tears. The minister then smiled and proceeded. "And Veronica, do you take Octavian to be your lawful wedded husband? For sickness and in health? For better or for worse? Till death do you part?" Veronica answered trying to fight back her tears too: I do. And I know that our love is meant to last forever." The minister then finished with these words: And on that note, there's nothing more to say." Everyone else wss either smiling heavily, or crying tears of joy. "You may now kiss the bride" the minister said to Octavian. "Gladly" Octavian said with a smile, and then kissed Veronica. Everyone In the crowd raised in applaud and uproar. Octavian then scooped Veronica off her feet and took her to her car which she let Doug drive. The car was only a few feet away from the celebration which was relieving for Octavian because he didn't feel as though he had enough strength to carry her further. It wasn't because of Veronica or how she was built. That's just how he was. He let Veronica in, then himself, and Doug drove them home. When the two got inside, they went to sleep. They got up and posted their official marriage on social. Veronica posting on Instagram: "When your man comes through and put a ring on it. Amen." Octavian posted on Facebook: King and Queen together. Ready to run shit." They had a party the next day, bringing everyone who came to the marriage and anyone else who wished to come. It was Ty who held a toast for their happiness and well-being. They danced. They were nourished greatly. Everyone just simply let go. For some reason, Octavian and Veronica held their honeymoon for the 25th for some strange reason. That reason being no one would try to convince them to come back, or bring them along for the ride. They booked a trip to Florida for two weeks. For great privacy. Great talks. No arguments. Great sex. Chilled without a conscience. This was the sweetest life down the aisle they've ever known. So far, this marriage was sweet in its greatest form.
