Xiao Wei presented a pair of diamond rings. Jian Shichu took the woman's ring, knelt on one knee, and slid it onto Ye Qingci's finger.
Then he picked up the man's ring and placed it in Ye Qingci's hand.
Ye Qingci carefully took the man's ring and slid it onto Jian Shichu's finger.
Holding Ye Qingci's hand that bore the ring, Jian Shichu gently kissed the spot where the wedding band rested on her finger.
Ye Qingci gave him a light tug, and he followed her pull to stand up.
The priest announced, "Now, the groom may kiss his bride!"
In that instant, the crowd erupted into uproarious cheers.
Jian Shichu lifted the veil covering Ye Qingci's cheeks and gazed deeply at his radiant and beautiful bride for a long moment before leaning in and sealing their love with a kiss.
The chapel was filled with whistles, applause, and hoots, rising and falling like waves, as if the roof might fly off from the noise.
