According to tradition – although the Commonwealth is not very old and has little tradition – after the wedding rehearsal dinner, the couple prepares small gifts for the attending family and friends.

During the meal, Albert had already directed the hands to place the prepared gift bags at the door. After dinner, Brooklyn and Anne bid farewell to their friends and guests at the door and presented gifts.

Frank joked

"It can't be a federal constitution, is it?"

"That's not for sure, both of them are lawyers." Winston chimed in. He had an arm around him, and the owner of the arm, a well-dressed girl, was holding Winston affectionately and smiling.

She is Taylor, the illegitimate daughter of Winston. Brooklyn smiled, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw that Taylor also opened his mouth, as if to say something.

So Brooklyn shut up, smiled and let Taylor speak first. Taylor, who seemed to realize his faux pas, also did not speak, and even twitched the hand that was holding Winston's arm in embarrassment.

Winston let go of Taylor, then patted her on the shoulder. Taylor approached Anne and whispered to her.

"Lady Anne, you are so beautiful! The outfits you picked out for the bridesmaids were so beautiful, and oh my, I want to join your bridesmaids too! Brooklyn glanced at Winston and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in the gourd.

Winston smiled wryly and whispered to Brooklyn's side

"Do you know Jerry has a partner?" Brooklyn is full of gossip. He and Jerry can't find out how old they are, but due to experience and other reasons, Brooklyn is actually the same generation as Winston, and when he looks at Jerry, he is looking at his friend's children, and he is looking at the younger generation.

Not only was Brooklyn interested in Jerry's gossip, but Frank on the side had naturally let go of his wife's hand and came over directly.

Jerry is about the same age as his youngest son...... He is looking at Jerry, and he is looking at the juniors. Winston hesitated, glanced back at the guests who were about to come out, shook his head and didn't continue.

Frank smacked his lips with some regret and was pulled back by his wife.

"Let's go." Brooklyn stuffed the gift bag into Frank's arms and said angrily. They have a good relationship and don't mind each other.

The three of them laughed, and Brooklyn restrained her colors and solemnly handed the gift bag to Frank's wife, and offered sincere thanks.

He didn't have much contact with Frank's wife, who was very protective of her, and this was the first time Brooklyn had seen his wife.

Seeing off Frank and Winston, Brooklyn continued to thank the guests at the door. Until the last one left, Brooklyn hugged David and the other groomsmen, and sat down directly next to Anne to rest.

He wanted to get up and say goodbye, but he was a little tired. And the thought of being even more tired tomorrow made him feel the urge not to have a wedding...... Anne leaned against Brooklyn, leaning on his shoulder and biting her ear.

"You say, is Winston unhappy with Jerry's other half?"

"Why?" Brooklyn asked lazily.

Otherwise, why would he hesitate? Hey, Jerry is right in front of your eyes every day, do you know who his other half is? Brooklyn thought for a moment and shook his head

"I don't know, it's probably not the court. The only woman he had contact with in the court was Nelly. After a pause, Brooklyn shook his head, as if thinking of something terrible.

Anne nudged Brooklyn, apparently seeing through his thoughts.

"Nelly takes care of Jerry as a child, how can she be with him!" Anne whispered a warning to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn nodded his head and muttered in his heart: Isn't that more exciting? Consider the contents of that Winston Daddy tape...... When playing cards, he likes ethical stalks, is this the origin of Winston's family education?

Anne didn't know that Brooklyn's thoughts not only didn't stop, but became more overflowing, she said to herself

"Did you hear what Winston said?" Brooklyn was still putting Nelly and Jerry together to see if the two were 'husband and wife', shaking her head absentmindedly and perfunctorily

"How?"

"He's talking about partner. It's not GF. Anne suppressed her excitement as if she had discovered Columbus in the New World, and whispered in Brooklyn's ear.

"Oh, that's what I said." Brooklyn agreed, but she was thinking in her heart that Nelly and Jerry should not last long, not to mention Winston's opposition, Nelly's character is not a long-term person.

And the two of them don't match, they don't have husband and wife. Standing together is like a mother and son...... Well, Winston really has a family history.

After thinking about it, Brooklyn felt that she was almost rested, and got up to say goodbye to Anne. Anne and Brooklyn can't go home today.

According to tradition, before the wedding, the couple should not see each other, otherwise they will find bad luck. Brooklyn didn't believe it, but chose to comply.

This is a custom, and it is not a terrible custom, even if you don't believe it, what's the harm in obeying it? ………… Following.

On the day of the wedding. Although it was rehearsed yesterday, there are still some chickens and dogs jumping today. Anne was pulled out of bed early by the bridesmaids, and several girls locked up in the room, first in the shower, then wrapped in bathrobes, and began to help each other dry their hair and put on makeup.

Brooklyn on the other side was no better, and was also called up early in the morning. But the atmosphere on his side was not as tense as Anne's.

Take a shower, change into dresses, check on each other, and then pull and pull and play, the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Perhaps because he was really going to enter the palace of marriage, and for the last time he appeared in front of his friends as a single person, Brooklyn lost his usual stability and became a little more lively.

By the time Anne had dressed up, Brooklyn was huddled on the lawn outside the courtyard, with her back to the villa, ready for the first meeting of the bride and groom.

In order to prevent Brooklyn from 'cheating', David hugged Brooklyn from behind and asked Jerry to bring a napkcloth and put it in front of Brooklyn's eyes.

The darkness in front of him made Brooklyn's sense of hearing even more acute. He could hear the wind blowing, he could hear the conversation of the people around him, and he could even tell Frank was not far in front of him...... David loosened his grip slightly.

I don't know how long I waited, but the conversation of the people around me faded and then disappeared. Then, there was a gasping sound all around.

Brooklyn was itching and wanted to take off the cloth to see it, but was stopped by David. After another while, finally, the power that was restraining him was gone, and Brooklyn couldn't wait to take off the cloth and look back.

Behind him, Anne was standing with two bridesmaids. She was wearing a white wedding dress with a bulging belly due to her pregnancy.

To be honest, it's not stunning, or uniquely beautiful, but for some reason, Brooklyn looks like a fool.

That's probably the power of ritual. Brooklyn and Anne have feelings for each other or not, and how much they have, they can't say well, but at this moment, they are inexplicably moved.

In their eyes, the person in front of them seemed to have become the most beautiful / handsome person in the world, so that they couldn't take their eyes off it at all.

The photographer next to him who was in the early position carried a 'long gun' and shot wildly at various angles of the two, and the shutter of Kacha Kacha kept ringing.

The two finally came to their senses. There was a round of applause. Amidst the applause, the two took a few steps forward, and finally clasped hands together.

The applause was even more intense. Amid the applause, Brooklyn took Anne by the arm and took a photo with her family and friends.

It took them quite a bit of time. Because Brooklyn and Anne only invited friends to this wedding, their relatives together have only one Mark Mee, one David and one Ray.

One of the three was unable to show up at all and could not participate. There are not many relatives, and there are not many friends invited by the two, but those who are invited are all friends.

A few days before the wedding, Walter O'Brien made a surprise phone call to ask about the Brooklyn wedding and accused Brooklyn of not sending them an invitation.

Brooklyn hurriedly said that there might be a problem with FedEx and it was not delivered...... After inviting the Scorpio team, he added Neil and Pete, as well as FbI's bAU to the guest list, and used 'FedEx' as an excuse, saying that he had originally sent an invitation, but it was lost by FedEx, and now he has not enough time, so he can only invite verbally...... Strictly speaking, they have to take a picture with every guest who comes to the wedding.

After the photo shoot, Albert had already set up the ceremony scene and invited the guests to take their seats. Clemmont, dressed in a bishop's priest's robe, holding a Bible in his hand, stood in front of the wedding booth looking solemn.

It's just that the smile that always appears unconsciously when facing Brooklyn destroys his majesty as a bishop.

Once all the guests are seated, the wedding ceremony officially begins. By this time Anne had been taken away. In the sound of music, the groomsmen and bridesmaids alternately entered, lined up on both sides of the wedding pavilion.

Then it's Brooklyn to enter and come to the wedding pavilion. This was already rehearsed yesterday. Then Mark Millaine took Anne's hand and walked step by step until he reached the wedding booth.

Although Mark Millay has married a wife, his wife seems to be a 'housemaid' and rarely shows up, and Mark Millai hardly brings his wife to any event banquets.

When needed, he will find a temporary female companion. Today is his daughter's wedding, and he naturally can't find a temporary female companion, and he doesn't want to bring his wife to attend, so Mark Milai came alone today.

At this time, with a serious face, Mark Milley asked the Bishop of Cremont:

"Who allowed this lady to marry this gentleman?

, even subconsciously grabbed Anne's arm. His silence was not abrupt, and the guests at the scene were very understanding. This is marrying a daughter, and any father will be reluctant. Even if the wedding takes two months to prepare, two months is still not enough time for a father to get used to leaving his daughter in the care of another man. - Unfortunately, none of these fathers included Mark Millay. Mark Milley may have had a father's love, but it wasn't for Anne, it was for his youngest son. The dense crowd of guests sitting behind him patiently gave the old father the last time for psychological construction, and the scene fell silent, and the music stopped at some point. Bishop Clemmont stood in front of the wedding pavilion made of sticks and flowers, with a Bible in his arms, his face gentle and kind, his eyes moving back and forth between the bride and groom. He didn't look at Annie, but Mark Millai. As a bishop, Cremont has also witnessed many weddings, and he subconsciously feels that this father is not reluctant. Brooklyn calmly stared at Mark Meelet. He knew what Mark Millaine was thinking. This is his last chance. All the entanglements between the two can be said to have originated from their 'feelings' with Anne. Mark Meelai is ready to sell his daughter for a good price, and he sees the potential of Brooklyn. Despite several repentances, he eventually persevered. The basis of their cooperation is this marriage. And the various agreements between Brooklyn and Mark Milley before, the assumptions of the future, planning, planning, drawing...... It all started with this wedding. When the wedding is completed, all agreements will be fulfilled and all plans will be implemented. Brooklyn and Mark Meaille have met and discussed many times in private, and have made a lot of agreements and plans, but most of them have remained only in words, and few have been implemented. It's because of this marriage that it's only in words. Now, as long as he nods, this marriage has really become a reality. Mark Milai had been silent for a long time. Just as the guests behind him began to stir, Mark Milai made a new move. He turned his back a little embarrassed, but his hand held Anne tightly, he directly took out his pocket towel and wiped the corners of his eyes, randomly stuffed the pocket towel into his trouser pocket, and then turned around, looking at Brooklyn with complicated eyes. He spoke slowly

"Brooklyn, I want to tell you a story."

"I still remember one day my wife telling me that she was pregnant." Mark Millay is not referring to his later remarried wife, and from the beginning to the end, Mark Millai only recognizes Anne's mother as a wife.

I don't know if he felt guilty about Anne's mother, or if the two were in love, or something else...... At the mention of his wife, Mark Millay paused, a hint of strangeness flashed in his complicated expression, and then he continued

"I began to pray to God, O God, if it is your will, please give me a daughter."

"God did so."

"I looked at her and said, 'God, let her look like her mother.'"

"God did so."

"She's lively and cute, she's gentle and considerate, she's ......" Brooklyn subconsciously glanced at Anne. Is this talking about Annie?

？？ Anne glared back at him. Once again, she seemed to guess what was going on in Brooklyn's mind.

“…… But I still felt that something was missing, so I said to God, let him be happy. ”

"And then she met you." Mark Mi choked up when he said this, and the whole sentence was very low.

With that, he stopped, turned his head and quickly wiped two handfuls from the corners of his eyes, followed by a long silence.

He seems to be adjusting his emotions. The guests were touched by Mark Millai's speech, and many of them wiped away tears.

This is an old father with a deep love for his daughter......
