Chapter 457 Wedding Ceremony
The main wedding car's back seat naturally had Mitchell and Willow, with Liam driving and Ophelia in the passenger seat.
Willow was worried that the over a hundred wedding cars ahead might cause a traffic jam.
Ophelia turned around and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Willow. We're taking the outer route, avoiding the city center, so there won't be any traffic congestion.
She added, "And the wedding car procession only takes about an hour, so it's not too long."
This kind of grand event hadn't happened in Horizon City for decades. It could be considered a wedding of the century. From the wedding convoy to the bridesmaids and groomsmen, everything was a hot topic for the latest news, which caused quite a sensation.
Willow never expected her wedding to be so high-profile, as everything was prepared by Mitchell and Jessica.
Such a perfect wedding naturally made Lloyd and Patricia very satisfied.
The main wedding car took a detour from the suburbs to the hotel, with a large theme park arranged for outdoor photoshoots along the way. When they reached the park entrance, everyone started cheering for the groom to carry the bride inside.
The park was large, and carrying her inside meant walking several hundred meters. Everyone wanted to make it a bit challenging, especially since the groomsmen were all Willow's brothers, so they weren't entirely on Mitchell's side.
So when Patrick suggested it, all the groomsmen started cheering. Naturally, the bridesmaids joined in as well.
Mitchell looked at Willow with a smile, and without a word, decisively picked up the bride and walked into the park.
Flowers were everywhere, and laughter filled the air. The atmosphere was genuinely joyful, with smiles on everyone's faces, and everyone was extremely happy.
Willow reached out and wrapped her arms around Mitchell's neck, her face slightly blushing. After walking for a while, she whispered to Mitchell, "Mitchell, I must be heavy. You can put me down, and I can walk by myself."
Mitchell didn't stop at all and whispered back, "You're not heavy at all, but holding the whole world in my arms is."
He looked down at Willow, the person in his arms with a delicate makeup like a porcelain doll. Her beautiful wedding dress didn't take away any of her beauty, with a natural blush on her cheeks, making her stunningly beautiful.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes, one with a bold smile and the other with a shy, slightly blushing face.
Mitchell's smile grew even more joyful. He carried her all the way to the central square of the park before putting her down.
The photography team followed them, taking photos and videos. After reaching the small park, they started the outdoor photoshoot again, with the groomsmen and bridesmaids also joining in, taking many photos.
Ophelia and Joseph became popular choices for group photos.
Quentin and Hannah followed behind with baskets, scattering flowers and clapping their hands, full of joy.
Madison, being heavily pregnant, was carefully led by Matthew, afraid she might trip or bump into something, so they walked very slowly, being the last pair to reach the park square. Since they weren't part of the groomsmen or bridesmaids, they didn't join the outdoor photoshoot but strolled around the small park, enjoying the fresh air.
Such a meticulously planned wedding brought Willow immense emotion and happiness, something that can only be achieved with heartfelt preparation.
The outdoor photoshoot took about an hour, and then everyone moved to the hotel. The ceremony was scheduled to start in the afternoon. After arriving at the hotel, everyone had a bite to eat, and the bride went directly to the hotel suite to rest.
Mitchell was responsible for entertaining everyone for lunch, with the bride's lunch delivered directly to her room.
Originally, they didn't plan to book the entire venue, but Cheryl, with a grand gesture, decided not to accept other guests, giving the entire venue to Mitchell and Willow's wedding, effectively turning it into a private event.
Ophelia accompanied Willow in the room. She had a movie coming up, and the director had asked her to lose weight, so she didn't dare eat too much, just nibbling on an apple.
Willow lifted her skirt and sat on the bed, eating her lunch, savoring the steak delivered by the hotel. Looking up at Ophelia, who was nibbling on an apple, she asked, "Ophelia, do you want a small piece of steak?"
Ophelia looked at the steak and swallowed, but ultimately resisted, shaking her head vigorously. She quickly explained, "I can't eat it. If I don't lose weight before the shoot, the director will kill me."
Willow suddenly felt that being an actress was really tough, often not being able to eat or sleep well. She looked at the carefree Ophelia and casually asked, "Ophelia, when are you and Liam going to get married?"
Ophelia took a bite of the apple and softly said, "Not anytime soon, nothing has even started yet."
Actually, after being a bridesmaid twice and seeing Madison and Willow in their wedding dresses, she had felt a bit moved, but it seemed that a certain someone didn't have that intention. She was now focused on her career, and marriage didn't seem to be something that would happen to her anytime soon.
Seeing that Ophelia didn't want to talk about it, Willow didn't continue the topic.
After eating half a steak, she didn't dare eat more, as the wedding dress had a particularly tight waist, and eating more would make her belly bulge. Shortly after Willow finished eating, others started coming back one after another.
The makeup artist touched up her makeup, and the large skirt that she hadn't worn before was put on, with the long wedding dress trailing on the ground, looking magnificent under the lights.
The wedding ceremony started promptly at 6:08 p.m. Jessica had specifically found someone to choose the time. The officiant was the same as the one for Matthew and Madison's wedding, a top host from JK Entertainment.
Tonight's wedding ceremony was a bit different from the usual ones, as the bride and groom entered together from the banquet hall's main door, walking down a long red carpet. Both sets of parents had decided not to go on stage, leaving the spotlight to them.
Mitchell held Willow's hand and slowly walked towards the center stage. After taking a couple of steps, the music suddenly changed.
Mitchell raised the microphone to his mouth and started singing along with the music, causing Willow to turn her head in surprise to look at him.
As soon as he started singing, it caused a small commotion, with enthusiastic applause breaking out.
Mitchell sang 'Make You Feel My Love,' and with his deep, magnetic voice, everyone was captivated by his singing, sitting quietly and listening.
When the two of them reached the stage, the song ended perfectly. Next was the familiar vow exchange. Under everyone's blessings, they made their vows and exchanged rings. When they kissed, the applause from the audience was continuous.
Willow stood on stage, listening to Mitchell's vows, and couldn't help but tear up.
She felt very happy.
The ladies in the audience probably thought this was the happiest moment for a woman.
