Chapter 57 The Grand Wedding 15 My Surname And Your Name
Seraphina finally finished the expensive dessert that would make anyone's heart ache with just one bite.
I have to say.
She had been busy since morning. She didn't have lunch, and now in the evening, this dessert was a lifesaver.
Cecilia and Seraphina, not having eaten anything all day, even though she didn't particularly like sweets, ate everything up.
After finishing eating, the staff touched up their lipstick.
Then, they left the dressing room and headed to the banquet venue.
The banquet venue was magnificent.
In stark contrast to the hall Dominic had arranged, Alaric had clearly provided her with an imperial palace, adorned with nobility and elegance, radiating grandeur. Pink carpets, ribbons, chandeliers, and exquisite sculptures all contributed to a magnificent and grand atmosphere.
Compared to Dominic's prepared wedding banquet, it was much stronger.
At this moment, Cecilia was led to a relatively secluded spot, where there were no lights, and the guests coming and going didn't even notice her. Alaric probably prepared this to save the surprise for the last moment.
"It's time for the wedding to begin!" A strong male voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
For unknown reason, Cecilia’s heart raced.
The wedding with Dominic at noon was truly calm, without any ripples. Now, at this moment, it should be the same, but she just wouldn't calm down.
Especially when she saw at the end of the red carpet, Alaric suddenly lit up with a spotlight and appeared in everyone's view.
He was wearing a pink suit, obviously matching Cecilia's outfit, creating a perfect pair.
His figure was straight, his appearance flawlessly sculpted. As the light shone on his face, she not only heard her own heartbeat but also the gasps from the audience, amazed by the man standing before them, as they tried to maintain their elegance and composure suitable for high society.
However, the focus didn't seem to be on Alaric.
Because the next moment, accompanied by a soft classical music, a figure in pink stepped onto the long pink carpet.
Under the lights, dragging a long golden-threaded train, emanating the nobility unique to an upper-class lady, step by step, walking on the carpet.
The entire room fell silent. Just as Alaric's handsomeness left everyone breathless, Cecilia's beauty at that moment made everyone forget to breathe.
She had dazzling golden hair and wheat-colored skin.
Her features were stunning, with every smile and frown seeming to enchant to the core.
The crown on her head emphasized a feeling of pride and grandeur, as if she were gazing down on all beings, commanding respect with her presence and grace.
The bride in front of them, once shy and obedient, solely following Dominic's lead, now resembled a regal queen, breaking free from her timid demeanor, unbound by anyone, revealing her bold and confident nature to the fullest.
This appeared to be the true Cecilia, exuding unmatched allure! Cecilia paused in front of Alaric.
They were such a perfect couple!
Neither overshadowed the other's brilliance and neither affected the other's radiance.
They were simply the most perfect two people in the world, walking together, becoming such a well-matched pair.
Cecilia looked at Alaric, while Alaric looked at her too.
Alaric said word by word, "Cecilia, you came here on your own."
Wasn't this a ceremony you arranged? Cecilia thought helplessly.
Even though she was moved by it.
However, at this moment, she felt more like she was announcing to the world that she, Cecilia, had been reborn!
"So." Alaric suddenly reached out his clean and slender hand placed in front of Cecilia.
Cecilia's heart fluttered.
"You have no chances to regret," Alaric said.
Cecilia frowned.
The next moment, she felt a warm large hand actively pulling her small hand tightly into his palm.
Their fingers intertwined.
Cecilia even felt a hint of moisture in Alaric's palm.
Was he nervous too?
Just like her, could he also feel nervous?
In the darkness.
Someone suddenly said loudly, "Mr. Whitaker's fingers are shaking."
Cecilia pursed her lips, because she could feel it too.
She couldn't help but turn to look at Alaric.
Alaric didn't deny it, and even said confidently, "I've never been in this kind of situation, of course, I would be nervous too."
'Did you forget attending the Forbes Celebrity Selection?'
'That event, broadcast nationwide live, was even more grand and magnificent than a wedding.' Cecilia thought.
"Now," Alaric suddenly added a sentence, leaving Cecilia truly puzzled.
"I said now, it's live nationwide, too," Alaric added.
As if he saw through what she was thinking just now.
That's why he could immediately and succinctly say it.
"Why?" Cecilia was also visibly surprised at that moment.
"Because," Alaric said, "I've finally been married once, spent half of my fortune, so if I don't show off a bit, I'll regret it.”
His mind was indeed not normal.
Was nationwide live just for showing off?
"Wouldn’t it awkward if we break up one day?" Cecilia asked somewhat indignantly.
"There won't be that day," Alaric said, word by word.
"Why..." Cecilia's words were not finished.
At that moment, the same strong male voice at the venue spoke again, "Please exchange vows!"
Cecilia lightly bit her lip.
The interrupted conversation suddenly made her unsure whether Alaric had just said there wouldn't be a day when they part ways, or there wouldn't be a day when they couldn't step down?
She assumed the latter.
After the entire wedding ceremony ended.
The elders smiled with relief.
Genevieve's eyes were noticeably red.
She was genuinely touched by Cecilia's transformation.
She had always believed that being modest and reserved was the friendliest way to interact with people, the most respectful attitude towards oneself.
Witnessing Cecilia's radiant and stunning appearance, she realized that her upbringing had caused her harm.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You should never be separate!"
They faced each other.
Once again, they deeply looked at each other.
Alaric said, "Mrs. Whitaker, from this moment, for the rest of your life, my surname will be added behind your name forever."
