Officiant: "Roman will you take Mocha to be your lawful wife, will you love her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto her so long as you both shall live?"

Groom: "I will. I, Roman Stroganoff Jr. take you, Mocha Sarang Ivory Park to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live."

Officiant: "Mocha, will you take Roman to be your lawful husband, will you love him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto him so long as you both shall live."

Bride: "I will. I, Mocha Sarang Ivory Park take you, Roman Stroganoff Jr. to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live."

Everyone watched as they pledged their love and faithfulness to each other while exchanging rings. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that these two were meant for one another. The bride's parents Joon Young and Monique cried in happiness. The groom's parents Roman Sr. and Macy Stroganoff were also crying in joy.

Officiant: "Mocha Sarang Ivory Park and Roman Stroganoff Jr., through their words today, have joined together in holy wedlock. Because they have exchanged their vows before God and these witnesses, have pledged their commitment each to the other, and have declared the same by joining hands and by exchanging rings, I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. Those whom God hath joined together, let no one put asunder. You may now kiss the bride!"

Everyone erupted in cheers as Mocha and Roman Jr. shared their first kiss as husband and wife. They walked back down the aisle in pure celebration. The wedding party followed suit, and then the guest poured out onto the courtyard. The ceremony and reception were held at Villa Monte Nero in Tuscany, Italy. Piero owned this villa, so no one had to pay a thing.

The wedded couple just wanted things simple. All they cared about was sharing their beautiful union with their families and friends. And what a beautiful union it turned out to be. Monique, Joon Young and their 2 kids joined in the family pictures. Junior and Joon-Ki wouldn't stop fooling around, so their mother gave them a look.

The celebration continued on until a little after midnight. By then Mocha and Roman Jr. had left to their own villa. Everyone else called it a night and had gone to their own rooms. The adults let the older kids have their own villa, trusting that they wouldn't burn the place down. Ji-soo would keep them in check.

Monique lay on Joon Young's chest, soaking up the day's events. "I can't believe our little girl is married."

"I knew this day would come, but who knew it come so fast? I'm not ready to let her go..." Joon Young sniffled. The Father-Daughter dance between Mocha and him nearly brought everyone to tears. The love between the two was so powerful, and Monique was trying to capture the moment on her camera in spite of her tears.

After having an emergency C-section with Joon-Ki, Monique was told that she couldn't have kids anymore. It broke her heart, but she was thankful for the 3 gifts that the Lord had given her. Mocha, Junior and Joon-Ki were her biggest blessings. All of their births were high risk. She almost died with two of them, but the Lord granted them all grace.

Joon Young and Monique have been going strong ever since they remarried. Her heart-attack knocked some sense into the both of them. Though Joon Young was in his 50's, he still looked handsome to Monique, even more so with his hair turning gray in some spots. Taemin was still her son; she would always be there for him, like she was when he married.
