The Perfect Beginning

"-With this uhh… candle, I will light your way into…umm-" started a young man as he lifted his candle rather uncertainly in his grip. Pastor Galswells glared at the young man as he tripped on his words. He hated it when people were unprepared to do their task, such as this young gentleman named Vincent Crosfolt. It seemed the clumsiness of the Van Dorts will still live through generations.

He continued to glare with his staff as he saw Vincent glance quickly towards his bride-to-be, Valeska Van Dort. Valeska looked back at her groom-to-be and smiled at him reassuringly thought it faltered a bit as she looked up at Pastor Galswells. Clearly those eyes showed disapproval and Valeska didn't like it.

Holding her bit of the candle, she twirled it in her fingers, feeling slippery wax smearing on her fingers. She grimaced as she regretted playing with the candle as annoying strands of black hair fell in her face. She got the black hair from her father, Victor Van Dort, who looked up from his chair thinking about his familiar experience with marriage. She also got her dark eyes from her mother, who also had the same look as her husband.

Vincent concentrated his attention towards his candle. It kept blowing out whenever he tried to light it and it annoyed him tremendously. He knew Pastor Galswells was glaring at him and he felt like he was bringing something ugly to Valeska's family. He pushed the thought aside and continued to light the candle until finally the tip caught fire. He gave out a sigh of relief as he raised the candle near his face. He looked back at Valeska again and saw her look up with tips of candle wax on her fingers. But she smiled towards him and it made him feel better then ever.

"-ahh yes. With this ring-" Vincent continued to speak as he fumbled with his golden ring nervously as his eyes went elsewhere to his bride-to-be, her parents and his parents. His parents, the Crosfolts, looked up with smiles at their son. Vincent smiled weakly and then finally getting a grip on the ring, stretched it out towards Valeska's hand, who delightfully raised hers.

Valeska's eyes twinkled in excitement as she saw the golden ring. She could see the engravings 'I love thee' on the ring and it made her smile wider. From childhood she had wanted to be married to a charming and funny person who will love her till the ends. And she had finally found him. Or rather, he had finally found her. Vincent had asked for her hand while she had been in the woods reading a book and she had immediately said 'yes'.

"-I ask you to be mine," Vincent finally finished as he softly slipped the ring in Valeska's finger. Valeska gave out a romantic sigh as Vincent gave out a sigh of relief. All eyes went to Valeska's ring as Pastor Galswells raised his eyebrows, unimpressed.

"Good. Master Crosfolt remembers his lines. We will have the marriage ceremony tomorrow!" he shouted and then started to clean his equipment away by blowing the candle out and wiping the candle wax with a swift motion of his hand.

"Good job, Vincent! I knew you could do it!" Valeska shouted and hugged Vincent, who gave a heartfelt laugh and hugged her back. Valeska gave a soft peck on his cheek and raised the finger with the ring still on it. "Do you want me to take it off?"

Vincent, raising an eyebrow, shook his head as he softly gripped Valeska's hand. "No, you keep it until our big day tomorrow."

Valeska's eyes brightened and she grinned at Vincent as gave a small twirl and ran towards her mother.
