The Runaway Groom Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031Chapter 1031
"Come on, it's just a suit," Zachary said, putting his elbow on James's shoulder. ’ And what's more
important, me or the suit?"
James replied, "The suit, of course."
Speechless, Zachary started to turn and leave.
James promptly caught him. "I'm just kidding. Why so serious?"
Zachary snorted. "It's understandable if you told me that your bride's more important, but your clothes
too?! It's over. We're done."
James chuckled. "Why are you being so petty?"
"You're petty." Zachary shot James a look.
The pair continued their banter, but they were self-aware enough to quickly stop talking once they
arrived at the crowded hall and even flashed a genial smile.
Their ability to change their expressions was certainly instantaneous.
And being the protagonist of the day, James did draw considerable attention.
Mick had made plenty of friends at Minerva over the years. Many of them were attending James and
Erin's wedding, and Mick was eagerly introducing James to everyone.
Though the ceremony was planned by a professional wedding planner, it has not started yet since they
intended to maintain a schedule that stuck strictly to the time, per Zidonian tradition. Weddings in
Minerva were naturally simpler and did not involve complex rituals.The priest soon spoke in Zidonian, specially requested since James and Erin were Zidonian—being
wed here did not mean they were Minervan.
"Thank you everyone for taking time from your busy schedules to attend Mr. Cross and Ms. Gooding's
wedding."
The priest's voice was rich and booming as he announced," You may come forward, Mr. Cross."
After James went up to the altar, the priest continued, "And now, please rise to welcome the bride."
Everyone turned toward the main doors at that, and Tommy excitedly tugged at Irene's hand while
pointing at it." Mommy, is Aunt Erin coming in from there?"
"Yes," Irene replied, and the doors swung open as the music blared.
A fair lady akin to Snow White appeared before everyone. With her delicate appearance, slim figure,
and elaborate makeup, she was even more attractive.
"Wow, Aunt Erin is so beautiful!" Tommy exclaimed.
Irene nodded in agreement. "Yeah!"
Erin had one arm around Mick's as she entered, the train of
bridal gown swaying as she walked slowly and steadily toward James, her eyes determined.
Mick personally handed her hand to James, not forgetting to say, "I'm entrusting Erin to you. You must
treat her well."
James nodded. "I will. Don’t worry."Mick smiled-he would not have entrusted Erin to James if he was worried. "I'm relieved."
After that, the priest announced it was the time for speech." Do you have a speech prepared, Mr.
Cross?"
Jame turned toward Erin.
It was a moment to convey his love, and though their relationship started with a one-night stand, many
unpleasant matters followed.
That was why he had a serious look and an earnest tone." It's my great fortune to be the one whom
you'll spend the rest of your life with. From now on, I'll love you more. I'll shelter you, share all your
burdens, and spend the rest of my life with you. Be it in the past or the future, I'll never give you up. I
love you."
Once he was finished, Zachary led the crowd in applause!
The priest then turned to Erin. "What about you, Ms. Gooding?"
Erin's eyes were welling with tears.
The many moments of their past seemed to echo in his mind, and it was certainly difficult for them to
get to where they were today.
"Thanks for coming into my life and making me the happiest person in the world. I entrust all my life to
you, and I'll be with you no matter rain, sleet, or snow!"
