Zier and Lyricie's Residence

"Friends and Family of the BRIDE and GROOM, welcome and thank you for being here on this important day.

We are gathered together to celebrate the very special love between BRIDE and GROOM, by joining them in marriage.

All of us need and d.e.s.i.r.e to love and to be loved.

And the highest form of love between two people is within a monogamous, committed relationship.

BRIDE and GROOM, your marriage today is the public and legal joining of your souls that have already been united as one in your hearts.

Marriage will allow you a new environment to share your lives together, standing together to face life and the world, hand-in-hand.

Marriage is going to expand you as individuals, define you as a couple, and deepen your love for one another.

To be successful, you will need strength, courage, patience and a really good sense of humor.

So, let your marriage be a time of waking each morning and falling in love with each other all over again."Mother Neona proudly said to the newlywed couple. Lyricie smiled and nodded same goes with Zier.

"Today is a celebration.

A celebration of love, of commitment, of friendship, of family, and of two people who are in it for forever.

You don't have to have a ceremony to have a marriage.

And when you think about it, the whole thing is kind of weird, right?

You're standing on in front of a lot of people, looking fancy, holding flowers, and being stared at by pretty much everyone who has meant anything to you.

So why do we do it?

The marriage ceremony has been an important feature across nearly every culture, religion, generation, and society.

We have thousands of important moments that happen throughout our lives, but this one is regarded as one so critical, we acknowledge its special status by sharing it with others.

Why this moment?

Because despite all of our differences, love is what we all share.

It's the great unifier — our one universal truth.

That no matter who we are, where we've come from, what we believe, we know this one thing: love is what we're doing right.

That's why you are both standing here.

And that's why you all are here to watch them stand up here.

We have all loved in our lifetimes, and in this moment, we're reminded that the ability to love is the very best part of our humanity.

All of us here today have our own love stories.

Some are short, others long.

Some are yet unwritten, while others are just getting to the good part.

There are chapters in all of our stories that are sad or disappointing — and others that are exciting and full of adventure.

And that brings them here, a time to pause, look back, and smile at all the moments that brought them here.

And a time to look ahead to all the moments that are still to come.

I'm here — we're all here — because we want those moments for you.

We're here to hope with you, to support you, to be proud of you, and to remind you that love isn't happily ever after, love is the experience of writing your story.

It's not one moment — not even this moment. It's every moment.

Big ones like saying "I love you," moving in together, getting engaged — but mostly a million little ones that come in between the big moments.

Falling asleep next to one another, making dinner together, spending holidays with your families, getting a big hug when you get home from work...

These everyday moments fuse together into one big experience.

And even though this experience is so incredible, words fail us when we try and explain it.

That's just the way it is with love — it's meant to be felt, not described.

But trying to describe love is one of our favorite pastimes.

We use the words we have to write stories, and poems, and songs about love.

And even though we describe love in different ways — and even though love can look different from one person to the next — we all know it when we see it.

And we see it here." Auntie cheerfully said.

"Thank you Mom, Auntie for the wonderful words you said. I am also happy that i met Zier, i also met people like you. I'm blessed. I never thought that i will have people that i can call someday a 'family'." Lyricie emotionally said. Everyone smile and they hug her one by one.

...

The stars are blinking at night and everyone is enjoying drinking alcohol and enjoying the party. Dancing on the dance floor, singing, and telling stories of what they have encountered.

"Sis, now that your married can we transfer Jiaxyn to our house? If you would mind?" Katrina sincerely said. Jiaxyn chocked and look at Karina.

"Sure, anytime if she would like accept it wholeheartedly." Lyricie calmly said.

"Then it's a 'yes'!!!" Katrina suddenly hug Jiaxyn tightly.

"I... Are you sure? If something ha-" Jiaxyn said but it was interrupted by her sister.

"Of course. Look at them, especially Angela. She is the same age as yours. You should enjoy your teenage years left together with her." Lyricie said. Lyricie didn't do what teenagers do so she didn't experience it because her being a gangster... An assassin.

While Jiaxyn also spend her years with her sister, so she didn't enjoy much of things that teenagers do much like having vacation to every places and meeting friends do chitchat and stuffs.

Jiaxyn sigh. "Fine." Lyricie's phone ring and she grab it to look who call her.

It's an unknown number. She excuses them and went to her favorite spot to hid, the walk-in wardrobe. Then she answered the phone call.

She didn't speak and listen carefully to the phone.

[Is this Lyricie?] An old woman voice can be heard and it is very familiar.

"Grandma! Yes, it's me." She was surprised and she misses them so much.

[ How are you my grandchild?] Lyricie eyes get wet.

"I'm fine Grandma. Where is Grandpa? Can i also speak to him?" Lyricie happily said.

[He can't.] Lyricie's world stops for a minute in worry.

"What do you mean grandma?" She finally speaks.

[He died from the battle from protecting me dear. He... was shot from the heart.] Grandma's voice is raspy and trying to stop from sober.

"Grandpa... Come home Grandma. Live with me Grandma.."Lyricie suddenly request.

[Let's meet in your birthday. Early in the morning, is that okay with you?]
