Chapter 1604

“Mommy!”

The voices of my children could be heard approaching, and Ashton held me steady as I watched them come running over with baskets of roses in hand.

They’re obviously playing the part of page boys and flower girls. Ashton sure has found a way to combine traditional and modern wedding rituals perfectly!

“Don’t forget me!” Emery walked up to the stage from my left and teased me by asking, “You don’t mind having a divorcée like me as your bridesmaid, do you?”

“Of course not!” My heart was filled with so much happiness that I couldn’t care less about anything else.

The emcee’s voice was then heard over the microphone, “Now then, please put your hands together for the bride and the groom!”

Just like that, Ashton and I made our way down the red carpet once again while the crowd cheered loudly around us.

“Congratulations on getting married, Mommy and Daddy!” The kids chanted repeatedly as they scattered the flower petals around us. I turned to glance at Ashton and saw him staring passionately at me, the look in his eyes expressing his regrets for not being able to love me even more than this.

Meanwhile, John helped Louis onto the stage and sat him down on the chairs prepared for the newlyweds’ parents.

As we stood before him, the emcee continued with his speech, “You have declared your consent before God. May God in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide.”

The entire ceremony took about fifteen minutes to complete, and I found my cheeks starting to ache from smiling too much.

The event was followed by a donation from Fuller Corporation to all the guests present at the event.

Ashton had mobilized a huge amount of people to organize this grand wedding ceremony and prove his love for me, so it was inevitable that he would have to reward them in some way to please the crowd. This resulted in the wedding being a little showy, but I was still very satisfied with it due to the amount of effort put into the whole thing.

At some point, the crowd grew wilder and began chanting repeatedly in unison, “Enter the bridal chamber!”

My eyes went wide upon hearing that, and I quickly gave Ashton a look that said, “We’re not seriously going to broadcast the consummation too, are we?”

However, Ashton pretended not to understand my concerns and simply held his hand out as he said helplessly, “Come on, let’s not disappoint them now.”

I shifted my gaze in the direction he was pointing at, and saw a fancy carriage parked beneath the stairs.

“This is…” I was so overwhelmed by happiness that I couldn’t even complete my sentence.

“I made sure to pay the craftsmen an additional sum of money when I bought this carriage three years ago, so they’ve been keeping it in good condition ever since. Who would’ve known it’d end up becoming a part of our dreams today, eh?”

He said “our dreams”… Ashton has subconsciously made my dreams a part of his!

The thought of that prompted my tears to start falling yet again as I got into the carriage.

Ashton then climbed onto a white horse in front and pulled the carriage with it while his ‘servants’ escorted us along the way.

Countless drones hovered around the carriage to film the process, and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as I saw the journalists taking pictures of me with my ruined makeup.

Of course, I knew it was all part of Ashton’s idea to capture every single moment on camera, so I didn’t mind it one bit.
