wife. You may now kiss the bride,” Ezekiel said.
Demona’s attention was now solely focused on the beaming bride and groom as Ezekiel prepared to introduce the married couple.
Kaleb stepped forward and grabbed Hannah in a firm embrace. He placed his hand on the back of her neck and their lips met. The kiss lasted quite a while, which caused several of the attendants to blush while they watched.
“Ow ow ow!” one of the guests yelled.
“Get a room,” someone else suggested.
The audience giggled. Hannah and Kaleb broke apart, faces flushed, and big grins on their faces. They turned towards the crowd glowing with pride.
Ezekiel stretched his arms out to the attendants. “I present to you as husband and wife, Mister and Misses Gallagher.”
The tiny sanctuary packed with guests erupted into a roaring cheer. Hannah and Kaleb exited the sanctuary, followed by Demona who was locked arm in arm with Felix. The guests funneled out of the church doors behind the two couples. The after ceremony festivities were held outdoors in the grove. Metal barrels with fires burning brightly inside illuminated the surroundings and provided warmth on the chilly late autumn evening. You would not think that metal burning barrels could set a mood, but they did. It was rustic and simple, yet it perfectly fit Kaleb and Hannah’s styles.
Small bouquets of Baby’s Breath hung upside down from the trees. Strands of white lights had been wound through the trees providing just the right amount of light, along with the barrels, to cast the romantic mood on their surroundings. The picnic tables had been arranged into a circle with a large bonfire in the center. Its flames threatened to lick the branches above.
Several of the refugees began to set up their string instruments to provide music for the reception. A soft melody began to fill the air as the harpist began to delicately strum a tune and the guitarist joined in. The violinists began to play last and provided just the right amount of edge to pick up the rhythm.
Kaleb walked into the center of the grove and extended his hand out to his new bride. Hannah took his hand in hers and he pulled her to him. They wrapped their arms around each other and swayed to the music gazing into one another’s eyes. Onlookers gathered around to watch the newlyweds perform their first dance.
Felix found Demona as she stood hugging herself to fight off of the evening chill. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders in an effort to provide some extra warmth. Felix leaned his face against the side of her head and watched the happily married couple.
The song ended and the band took up a jig. The other attendants found partners and made their way to the inside of the picnic table circle, where they swirled and twirled around the bonfire. Skirts fluttered as the men swung their partners around in unison.
Demona felt Felix’s warm breath on her ear. “Come with me,” he whispered.
Felix’s soft, deep voice sent an excited chill through Demona’s body and she turned towards him with curiosity in her eyes. Felix grabbed hold of her hand and led her out into the dark field.
“Where are we going?” Demona asked.
“You’ll see.”
The only lights that shone in the darkening sky were from the sparkling stars that peeked from behind the scattered clouds. A bitter breeze swept through the air and Demona swore she could smell ice. Heavy snow is coming. Demona felt Felix halt in the darkness and came to a standstill beside him.
Felix released her hand and let it fall to her side. “Close your eyes and stay right there.”
“Okay?” Demona did as Felix asked.
After a few moments Demona felt Felix’s fingers wrap around her hand once again. He tugged her forward. “Keep your eyes closed and sit down.”
“What are we doing?” Demona did not argue, though her mind raced with a million thoughts as
