Chapter 344: Wedding Mishap
Chapter 344: Wedding Mishap
At the forefront of the bridal procession was a sedan chair entirely crimson.
This time, the scale was completely set according to a traditional Chinese wedding.
Nowadays, Nora Northwood has become a person accustomed to grand occasions.
However, in the face of such a formation, she still felt extremely nervous.
The hand she hid in her sleeve was already clenched tightly.
Breathe deeply, breathe deeply... she silently recited in her heart.
"Nora, don’t be nervous." Megan Underwood, acting as Nora Northwood’s "family", escorted her to the sedan chair.
This was the only formal wedding in her life, and it was such a grand affair, how could she not be nervous!
"Nora, look above you." Megan reminded her.
At the moment she boarded the sedan, a stretch of red lanterns lit up, bathing the daylight in crimson.
Moreover, each lantern had blessings inscribed by a calligraphy master.
The scene was once spellbinding and magnificent.
The sky-high red lanterns drew the guests to take photos, and passersby couldn’t help but be amazed by the spectacle.
Afterward, Nora entered the sedan chair, completely isolated from the outside clamor. Although she couldn’t see the scene outside, she could feel that such a luxurious wedding hadn’t been seen in Stanton City for nearly a century.
Approaching the manor, a dozen ceremonial ladies in qipaos, gracefully emerged from the back garden to distribute wedding candies to the surrounding people.
This area belonged to Stanton City’s top-class villa district, and those who lived here were either wealthy or noble.
A red carpet extended hundreds of meters long, reaching to the entrance of the manor, with large golden characters marking the names of Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair.
Raina Sinclair came out to welcome the bridal sedan, "Nora, Jasper is waiting impatiently inside."
Nora was helped down from the bridal sedan, and her splendid wedding attire again drew exclamations from the guests.
"It seems the Sinclair Family values this daughter-in-law quite a lot."
"I wonder what this young girl’s background is..."
While amazed, the onlookers didn’t forget to gossip about Nora Northwood’s identity.
Inside the manor, it was already unbelievably beautiful.
Servants held golden trays, moving gracefully among the guests, and everywhere was filled with joyous laughter.
Finally, at the end of the red carpet, Nora saw her beloved.
Facing that straight figure like a pine, she inexplicably felt at ease. As she walked towards him, a faint smile graced her lips.
The black suit and trousers, meticulously textured, differentiated layers under the glass lamps, the nearly perfect tailoring accentuating Jasper Sinclair’s figure.
He stood there quietly, looking both profound and mysterious.
As they locked eyes, the man’s heart skipped a beat.
"Nora."
Then, he took Nora’s hand, still able to feel the damp warmth of her sweat.
The high-priced master of ceremonies began the speech: "Dear guests, friends, respected elders, good morning!
Welcome everyone to this beautiful day, as promised, to the hall to witness a feast of emotions..."
Amidst the music of pipes and drums, the bride and groom entered side by side.
Jasper Sinclair held one end of the red silk, with the other end in Nora Northwood’s hand.
They stepped over the fire basin and reached the center of the venue.
First bow, thanking heaven for the blessed union.
Second bow, thanking the earth for creating this beautiful pair.
Third bow, husband and wife bow to each other, uniting in marriage, thanking heaven and earth for their blessing.
The matron of honor handed a golden rod to Jasper Sinclair, "Groom, unveil the bride."
Jasper Sinclair calmed his anxious heart, his well-articulated hand grasping one end of the golden rod, slowly extending it inch by inch until it reached the edge of the red cover.
"Jasper Sinclair, I found you!"
A light, clear voice rang out.
