"Harley, you're going to marry me." Anno was a little excited.

"Mmm," Harley replied softly, burying her head in her hands.

Anno placed her hand on Harley's shoulder, their bodies seemingly intertwined.

……

These days, Anno is not only busy making wedding dresses, but also busy sending out invitations to invite people to her and Harley's wedding at the Florence Cathedral.

Even Anno's own birthday party wasn't arranged yet. It was only thanks to his skillful Aunt Anna who prepared a feast for Anno and invited Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci from next door that Anno was able to have a peaceful birthday in the evening.

Time seemed to move slowly. Even though it was the same day, and they were both sewing clothes, Anno and Harley felt that time was passing very slowly.

These two people looked quiet and peaceful.

But in reality, ever since they accepted each other and fell in love...

The two of them were intensely attracted to each other's bodies, but out of self-control before the wedding, neither of them made any rash moves.

It was the first and only time they had ever fallen completely in love with someone.

Anno and Harley were both thinking, why didn't the wedding come sooner?

The torment of love has finally worn off, as expected.

1471 1 Month 15 Day.

The weather is mostly cloudy.

Anno, dressed in a white dress, stood at the entrance of her mansion.

He looked up at the sky, his long hair tied in a braid behind his back.

Luslan also changed into an old-fashioned formal suit and bowed slightly to Anno: "Master, it's time for us to set off."

Anno nodded blankly and touched his chest.

Although the past few days had been agonizing, Anno still felt a bit incredulous.

I'm...getting married?

Marrying his beloved Harley, the woman he's been dreaming of...?

“Master?” Luslan’s voice rose a little.

"Huh? Luslan, is it time to go?" Anno finally realized.

“Yes, sir, we should be on our way.” Ruslan repeated politely.

Luslan had been working as Anno's butler for a long time. He was about forty years old, with a beard, and looked capable and energetic.

"Let's go." Anuo hesitated but couldn't wait, and boarded the carriage.

The two men got into the carriage, and the coachman, who was also dressed in formal attire, drove the carriage toward the cathedral.

……

Harley sat in a side room of the church, while a group of nuns helped her tidy herself up.

Today, Harley wore a pure white wedding dress, and her wine-red wavy hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adorned with twinkling stars, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

A sheer white veil covered Harley's head, and a wreath of flowers, symbolizing the blessings of nature, was worn on her head.

The wedding dress was still Anno and Harley's favorite and most skillful design with many pleats. Paired with gold jewelry and gemstones, Harley's previous lively and innocent image was completely different, replaced by a sweet and luxurious look.

She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, seeing a completely different version of herself.

I'm... getting married.

Marry Lawrence!

Mrs. Dorigina looked at her smiling daughter, sighed, and shook her head.

Baron Orvis stood to the side, rolling his eyes seriously: "Weren't you the same way back then?"

Mrs. Dorigina's eyes sharpened.

"Ah! Gina! Don't pinch me!"

……

Anno's carriage arrived at the church. She stepped out with her long legs and walked into the church with a hint of trepidation.

A few guests were already sparsely seated inside the church.

After the wedding ceremony in the church, the couple would travel to Anno's house for a second celebration, with banquets held in the yard and indoors.

Anno went to the side room on the other side of the church, where Aunt Anna had arrived early.

She patted Anno's shoulder excitedly, tears welling in her eyes: "If Fedino could see this, he would be so happy!"

Anno choked up a little and hugged Aunt Anna.

“Sir, this is your ring.” Ruslan handed over a small box.

Inside the box were two diamond rings, a pair that Anno had made herself.

Anno opened the box to check the diamond ring, then placed it back in Ruslan's hand: "Give it to Father Anasaro."

"Yes, sir."

…………

It was approaching noon.

Anno stood quietly in the open space in the middle of the church, a smile on her face.

The seats were already full, and many people were standing on the side.

Anno is a well-known artist with a high social standing and extensive network of connections, attracting a large number of guests.

As the white doves flew by, everyone involuntarily fell silent.

Anno stood on the red carpet, and at the end of the red carpet appeared his other half.

I have imagined countless times what you would look like when you appear before me, my love, but now I realize that imagination is no longer enough to describe your beauty and your sanctity.

Like the first ray of sunshine in spring, like the sparkling pebbles in a stream, like the first clap of thunder before the rain.

You are magnificent, you are beautiful, you are holy.

You are like the embodiment of beauty itself, appearing in my life.

Make it complete, make it perfect.

Harley linked arms with Baron Orvis and they walked slowly forward.

The band played soft, gentle music, which, together with the clear chirping of birds outside the window, created a symphony of happiness.

Everyone's eyes followed the goddess-like bride as she resolutely walked toward her groom.

Aunt Anna covered her mouth and nose, sobbing uncontrollably.

Verrocchio was also wiping away tears.

Da Vinci and Manlio stood quietly to one side, watching Anno and Harley with eyes full of blessings.

Harley and Baron Orvis finally stood before Anno.

Tears welled up in Orvis's eyes as well.

Although he was materialistic, he was still a father to some extent.

"My daughter is in your hands now." He patted Anno on the shoulder, said this, turned and left, wiping away his tears with his sleeve.

Harley placed her hand on Anno's hand, and the two faced each other.

Father Anasaro came over.

A priest is God's spokesperson.

He asked, "State your vow."

Anno nodded, holding Harley's hand in one hand and placing the other hand to her ear, solemnly swearing: "Harley Bahargul Orvis, I love you, and I know you love me too."

"I have complete faith in God's choice of you to be my wife."

"This is my prayer and my desire. You will find that I am God’s special person who has come to help you. Because of my trust in you, I am willing to obey you as I obey the Lord."

"Therefore, Harley."

"I promise to be a husband who is obedient to you, faithful to you, and loves you."

"Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people will be my people, and your God my God."

Chapter 204 Newlywed Life~

After Anno's solemn oath, Harley took the same solemn and earnest oath.

Father Anasaro handed over a box.

Upon opening the box, two gemstone rings lay quietly inside.

Anno took one out, grabbed Harley's right hand, and said with a warm smile, "This ring alone will tell you—my friend, my love that will last until death."

The sapphire ring was placed on Harley's ring finger. Anno kissed the ring lightly and smiled at Harley.

Harley nodded, her expression a mixture of excitement and shyness.

She picked up another ring and held Anno's right hand: "This ring alone will tell you—my friend, my love that will last until death."

The priest looked at the newlyweds, filled with emotion and blessings.

He patted the newlyweds on the head: "The Lord will bless you."

Anno and Halle offered a solemn prayer.

The two stood hand in hand, facing each other.

Anno cupped Harley's face in his hands, gazing at the woman who was slowly entering his heart and his world.

Amidst the blessings and envious glances of all the guests, they shared a deep kiss.

Aunt Anna excitedly led the applause. This plump old woman valued Anno very much, treating him as her own son and caring for him deeply.
