A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1230

While Zoe wondered if she had raised an ingrate, the emcee teased, "Let's give our flower girl another round of applause, to thank her for bringing us such joy."

The hall was certainly resounding with laughter, and it seemed to have been the case since the start.

"And now, let's move on to the exchanging of rings," the emcee announced.

Naturally, the wedding rings were matching and made in accordance to specific details.

Jay took off the engagement ring on Zoe's middle finger and carefully slipped on the wedding ring on her ring finger. It was not entirely elegant, but Zoe found it beautiful anyway, since Jay had flown abroad just to have it designed according to his intention.

She was so obviously engrossed staring at it and could not draw herself out that the emcee prompted her, "And now, the bride may help the groom put his on."

Zoe realized with a start, and the hall rang with laughter again as it was a rather funny reaction.

She picked up Jay's ring and put it on his ring finger, feeling that the gesture was too emotional just then.

In fact, just looking at the matching rings on their fingers made her want to cry a little.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife!" the priest announced, and the wedding reached a climax with the soaring riffs of the music.

"Now…" The emcee deliberately trailed off, "You may kiss the bride!"

The hall rang with deafening applause, while Zoe and Jay looked at each other.

Jay was on a wheelchair, and he shifted, clearly intending to stand up.

A staff member quickly brought his cane, but just as he took it, Zoe was already in his arms, wrapping her arms around his and planting a huge kiss on his lips.

Everyone applauded right then, to tell him that his hospitality was not lacking and they did not take exception.

"Right now, I don't know what I should say to express how I feel toward Zoe… but I can swear before everyone, that I, Jay Parker, will only love Zoe York in this life, and I'll break my right leg myself should I ever be found guilty of duplicity!"

His left leg was lame, and the crowd applauded thunderously again.

"Thank you for your speech," the emcee said, moving things on. "And now, for the bride's speech. Let's give her a round of applause!"

Zoe took the microphone and looked at the many guests beneath the stage who were attending her wedding.

"I was not supposed to give a speech since our time is limited, and we might delay John's wedding. However, I'm also worried that I won't have the courage to say this after today."
