At this moment, Elena stepped onto the exquisite red carpet and slowly walked towards Lucas. This was her husband and she could not take her eyes off him.
Elena stared at the man of her life with her watery eyes, overwhelmed with emotions. At this moment, she suddenly understood the difference between getting a marriage certificate and holding a wedding.
Elena walked closer.
When she reached him, Reginald stopped. There was a brief silence. Then, slowly, he placed Elena's hand into Lucas's. It was a simple gesture, but it carried years of trust, love, and responsibility.
Lucas held her hand firmly. "I will take care of her," he said quietly.
Reginald looked at him. "I know," he replied.
He then stepped back, leaving the two of them standing together.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. They simply looked at each other.
Then the officiant stepped forward. He glanced at both of them and then at the gathered guests before beginning to speak.
