Chapter 37: Carnival [10]
In the "bustling" modern metropolis of New York, there is a Fifth Avenue, which is home to many famous attractions such as Imperial Summer, the New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and ...... St. Patrick's Cathedral. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The century-old St. Patrick's Cathedral is not prominent in this city-lined city, but it has its own attractive charm, and even the young men of the Rockefeller family chose to hold their weddings here.
Even the recession of the real economy has not made this avenue much inferior, but it is rare to see such a grand ceremony as it is today, with heavily armed policemen, professional bodyguards with guns hidden in black sunglasses, dazzling luxury cars, and helicopters constantly circling back and forth in the air......
The characters who enter the cathedral are not so bad that everyone can change the color of America, but even the mayor of New York today is just an ordinary role as a foil, because of the turmoil some time ago, so many important people gather in such a place, even if the mayor does not order, the police chief has to send someone to ensure safety.
There is no Miss Bikini show that swinger buddies love, there is no indulgent pop music stage, only calm and elegant conversation, moderate orchestral music, and the simple Puritan setting is even the opposite of the pomp and grandeur outside.
Women talk about the latest cosmetics, the most fashionable jewelry, and then about their men, children, and brothers, while men and men talk about politics, politicians, stock fluctuations, and business conditions.
Soon, the scheduled time arrived, and the hosts and guests sat down on the row of chairs in the cathedral, apparently not as comfortable as their daychairs. Then the formal wedding music sounded, the half-gray hair priest stepped onto the pulpit, and the bride and groom slowly walked in the music and met the eyes of the crowd.
The next process should be that the priest says something that can be recited by an experienced person, and then the couple takes oaths and exchanges rings with each other......
"We are gathered here today to witness the two who are about to be united...... "The priest pressed his Bible in his hand and looked not only at the two in front of him, but also at everyone in the cathedral, his voice loud and ...... Bordering on fanaticism?
Old Rockefeller looked at the priest on the stage, they were old acquaintances, but he had never seen the priest in such an "excited" state, he drank?
As if deliberately catering to the vague intuition of old Rockefeller, the priest exaggerated his hands as if he were standing in front of a cliff with his wings outstretched: "But before that, as God's servants in the world and shepherds of the sheep of all beings, do you really want God to bear witness?"
Even if he didn't know as much as his parents knew about the priest, Steven knew that the priest's lines were definitely not in line with the template, but, as a devout Puritan, he still replied in the face of the priest's question: "Yes, we are married here, naturally under the witness of God." ”
The priest withdrew his hands, as if the frenzy had never existed, and withdrew his falcon-like posture under the rigid body, but his standard toothy smile gave the illusion of blood: "Let you bear witness to God, then." ”
The black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose were removed, and the toes under the pulpit quietly stepped on an inconspicuous button.
