Traditional weddings in this family was… lively, to put things mildly.

The twilight deepened and Aditi stood at the altar, looking incredibly beautiful. She was embellished and radiant in her red dress and shimmering accessories. Her brothers stood beside her, pride and reluctance shining in their eyes.

Outside, the groom’s procession began and many people came to watch. The procession started from his house, which wasn’t very far. However, the path there was also lively with audiences curious to watch the excitement, music, and the moving band.

“Here comes the groom!” someone in the entourage yelled, making sure the streets knew Chris was getting married.

Chris looked dashing and sleek in his cream-colored traditional suit. Even if he lacked a leg, it did not discount his handsomeness.

They had no horses here, so he was riding the biggest broat they could find. It was just about the same height as a horse. Of course, to add to its aesthetic, they may have added a few accessories like a cool headgear and a nice horse blanket with dark colors.

He led a vibrant procession with his side of the ‘family’, which happened to comprise mostly of the soldiers who transferred with him.

His friends, specifically Mao and Luis, danced around him, with the band doing the same. They were dancing and singing, very much enjoying this type of wedding ceremony very much.

Even the audience couldn’t help but move their bodies as they walked past, celebrating along with them. There were also a lot of aborigines watching the show, surprised because they had never seen such a wedding before.

When the procession entered the gates, the people outside stopped, but they clapped happily before finally dispersing, definitely discussing the latest wedding in the territory with gusto in restaurants, bars, and marketplaces.

Chris took a deep breath as he looked at the door.

It had begun!

…

When he arrived at the venue, the first thing he did was look for his future wife.

It seemed like time slowed as he did so, and he couldn’t help but gasp at the beautiful sight that she made.

He stepped closer, eyes not leaving his future wife. Even with his staggered steps using his new wooden leg hidden under his pants, he looked very dashing and proud.

The officiate was Mathilda, as always, and she studied their traditions very well. She guided the ceremony accordingly, watching Raj place Aditi’s hand on Chris’.

Her two older brothers sobbed, not forgetting to say a lot of dire warnings to Chris (not that they could do anything to him), and then proceeded to give a mountain of gifts to help in their starting a new family.

Seeing the gifts, the other soldiers couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Is Chris eating soft rice?” Mao said, very amused. “HAHAHA”

“Well, he’s handsome so he could.”

“…”

Anyway, the couple took their vows, walking around a ‘sacred fire’, with each of their steps representing a promise.

The promises were to provide for each other, to nourish their bodies and their minds, and to walk together in prosperity. They promised to support each other in health, illness, and through all challenges. And so on.

With each step, the guests cheered and the atmosphere was electric with joy.

By the end, as per tradition, Chris placed a special headdress in her hair and a necklace around her neck.

The two’s eyes met, bright and sparkling with the other’s reflections.
