Chapter 925 Big Wedding
As he spoke, he moved his head closer to her.
Somehow, they ended up kissing each other.
That afternoon, as the sun shone on their faces, it seemed to shine on their hearts as well, making them warm.
In the end, they decided that the wedding would be held on the third day next month.
They heard from Uncle Poick that it would be a good day to get married.
As for the location, Emmeline had always liked the sea, but other seasides were suitable for security reasons, and Jara was worried that someone would take advantage to sabotage the wedding, so he decided to set up the location on a private island.
This island had been bought a long time ago. When Emmeline asked him the name of the island, he looked at her deeply and replied with a smile.
Suddenly, her face turned red.
Because he answered, "This island is called Emme Island."
Emme Island... Of course, she knew what he meant.
Only then did she know that he had bought her an island a long time ago. Perhaps, since the beginning, he had already decided to be with her for the rest of his life.
All this while, she had no idea about it.
When Emmeline realized that, she felt the warmth at heart. Because of this, the last bit of her uneasiness disappeared completely.
Time passed very quickly, and the day had come.
Because Emmeline had no parents and Grandpa Farrington had passed away a long time ago, Uncle Poick became the person who walked her down the aisle.
Uncle Poick had been by Jara's side for a long time, and he could be considered to have watched the both of them grow up since they were still kids. To her, he was not only her mentor, he was her friend and her father too.
Although he had always stuck to his identity and had never done anything inappropriate, Emmeline always felt the warmth of a father's love from him.
On this day, the island was decorated with a plethora of flowers, and the white silk backdrop was blowing in the wind. Cheers and laughter could be heard everywhere, as the atmosphere was lively and peaceful.
As friends, Clarissa, Anderson, Jameson, Lauren, Isaac, and even Marty were all present.
As the wedding march sounded, Emmeline held on to Uncle Poick's arm and came over one step after another. Seeing that, they were all deeply touched.
It wasn't easy for them to be together. Today, they were finally together.
At this moment, on the stage, Jara felt the same.
After today, Emmeline would finally become his wife.
After all these years, it was a good thing that he hadn't lost her. Fortunately, they still had a long way to go together.
Meanwhile, Uncle Poick had already brought her to Jara.
Uncle Poick had always been kind and gentle, but at this moment, he was very moved as he looked at Jara emotionally.
"Mr. Holland, I'm willing to hand Miss Illington to you. Will you always love her, protect her, and take care of her? Will you make sure she is safe from danger?"
With that, Jara replied in a deep voice, "Yes, I will."
Only now did Uncle Poick happily hand Emmeline over to him.
Reaching out, Jara took her hand, and led her to the stage.
At this moment, the priest had arrived. Since Uncle Poick was not Emmeline's biological father, and he was only substituting the role, the conventional speech from the bride's father was exempted.
Following that, the priest looked at the beautiful couple with a smile and began. "Mr. Jara, from this day forward, are you willing to love Emmeline for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death does you part.?"
Jara said firmly, "Yes, I will."
The priest asked Emmeline the same question again.
Emmeline also answered with a smile, "I will too."
With a smile, the priest declared. "With that, I will announce that from now on, Mr. Holland and Miss Illington are officially husband and wife!"
When the words came out, everyone present seethed with excitement.
Amidst everyone's cheer, the priest smiled and said, "Groom, you may kiss your bride."
As Emmeline shyly curled up the corners of her mouth, Jara looked at her deeply and bent over.
Just as he was about to kiss her—
"Aye, looks like I'm too late!"
A voice broke the harmonious and sweet atmosphere.
Everyone was stunned. They looked up abruptly and saw that Luca was leading a group of people, walking toward the stage with a sly smile.
When Jara saw Luca, his face immediately turned cold.
His relationship with Luca had been completely torn apart ever since that incident. It could be said that they were more like enemies than friends now.
Jara assumed Luca wouldn't show up on such a day, but he did.
The rest of the guests looked surprised as well. After all, Emmeline's missing, and the fallout between Jara the Marsh Family weren't much of a secret.
Although everyone didn't say anything, they knew what happened.
Hence, with Luca's arrival, nobody believed that he was here to send blessings. It was likely that he was here to make trouble.
Therefore, Quan and the rest who were guarding nearby had secretly made their preparations.
Meanwhile, Jara straightened up and faced Luca, who was walking toward him with a smile. "Jara, why didn't you tell me you are getting married? That's very unkind of you. After all, we've been friends for more than ten years. You should've let me know."
As Luca spoke, he had walked to Jara's face.
Stretching out his hand, Jara shook hands with him. Unexpectedly, with a tug, Luca pulled him over, as the two of them gave each other a casual hug.
Luca, who was still talking and laughing a moment ago, suddenly darkened his face and said in a low voice, "Jara, is it because of a guilty conscience that you didn't invite me to your wedding?"
Hearing that, Jara remained impassive, but he seemed to be gnashing his teeth.
"For what you've done to Emmeline, I have unfinish business with you!"
"Ha! Isn't she with you now? What's left to be settled?"
The two exchanged a few sentences, then let go of each other.
Looking up again, Luca was already smiling.
He looked at Emmeline and said with a smile, "Jara and I have known each other for more than ten years, and I'm a few years older than him. By right, I should be his brother. That being said, you should be my sister-in-law."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to his back and a subordinate immediately handed over the gifts.
"It's a small wedding gift and a gesture of my blessing to you. Please take it."
Upon seeing that, Emmeline raised her head and glanced at Jara.
When she noticed he didn't object to it, it was only then that she received the gift.
At the moment, Kayla, who had been standing behind Luca all this while, came forward.
As she looked at Emmeline with her delicate face, she did not look like she was here to congratulate her at all as her expression was indifferent and hostile.
"Mrs. Holland, congratulations. I wish you happily ever after."
Emmeline responded with a smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Marsh."
Both of them looked at each other without saying anything. At this time, the emcee interrupted and invited them to take a seat in the audience, only then they left.
The ceremony had to continue.
Subsequently, Emmeline handed the gift box to someone else, and she looked at Jara in the eyes.
