Finally arrived at the seaside wedding venue.
Mark Reed walked hand in hand with Madison Barton on the white carpet they had traversed the night before, countless petals falling down.
He wore a gentle smile, while Madison's smile lacked true joy.
As the wedding reached its crucial moment, the priest prayed: "Oh Lord, we stand before you, witnessing the blessing of this couple entering the sacred bonds of marriage. As per Your will, may they become one, honoring their vows, growing old together, enduring as long as the earth and sky; together they walk the heavenly path, loving, helping, teaching, trusting each other; may the Heavenly Father bless their home, showering grace upon the couple; the Holy Spirit guiding them; cherishing the Savior; praising before the Lord for life everlasting."
