10 Yuri and Suzy exchanged I do’s

The wedding banquet of Yuri and Suzy was an intimate celebration among family and close friends because it was a pandemic wedding.

The guests were shortlisted, which included, Mister and Missus See, Evan, who was the bestman; the couple James and Sophia, and their daughter Charlotte, now fifteen. Amalia, Isabella's best friend was there. She was with Alfred. Talia, with her husband, was also there. Natasha was there. Jan couldn't be not around. He was seated beside Josh, also best man, and Michael, the ring bearer, along with Charlotte, the bridesmaid.

"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love her, to cherish her, to comfort her, in sickness or in health for as long as you live?" Fr. Robert asked Yuri.

"I do," Yuri replied.

"And do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love him, to cherish him, to comfort him, in sickness or in health for as long as you live?"

"I do," Suzy replied.

"I now declare you husband and wife in this holy matrimony."

As the two kissed, two lovely white doves flew around the church, catching the attention of the mass participants.

Aaron didn't know how he felt that day as a father. He had trusted Yuri. He was maybe trying to assuage himself not to feel afraid for his daughter's future.

Isabella was in tears. She'd miss her only baby girl.

The school fair featured many rides for kids. There were ferris wheel, merry-go-round, a long train and which Michael enjoyed most. He also liked indoor amusement rides as cars bumping and caterpillar. Parents made sure that their school-children would be safe.

At night, Aaron, Isabella, and Michael watched the fireworks.

The ghosts of the past were gone.
