Reborn as an Extra Chapter 708: A Dream Come True, Jin weds Anna.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
The sheer number of guests, hailing from every corner of the nation, necessitated an exceptionally grand and opulent banquet hall for this wedding ceremony.
A multitude of S-rankers from across the country graced this grand occasion, accompanied by the esteemed presence of major families and prestigious CEOs of prominent companies, their arrival marked by impressive convoys.
Firecrackers, ingeniously crafted from mana and thus entirely pollution-free, were set off to amplify the festive atmosphere!
A palpable energy surged through the venue as hundreds of diligent waiters and maids bustled about, attending to the needs of guests with drinks and delectable cuisine!
Photographers and various media outlets meticulously documented the entire event, capturing the continuous stream of celebrities arriving in their luxurious vehicles.
The sheer scale of this massive celebration was a clear testament to the extraordinary nature of this wedding ceremony!
By the time Link and his companions descended via helicopter, the venue was already thronging with hundreds, even thousands, of attendees!
"It seems I underestimated the Jin’s popularity; finding a venue grand enough truly poses a challenge," Ashtel mused, a hint of regret coloring his tone as he felt his arrangements fell short.
Jin, a national hero, had a wedding that captivated the nation, with the entire country tuning into the live broadcast of the event!
Consequently, every detail demanded perfection, and Ashtel Rex, having personally overseen all arrangements, felt his own planning was insufficient.
"Well, this is my first time arranging a wedding for anyone... I certainly won't make the same oversight when I plan for the two of you next time..."
"I shall ensure the celebration is even grander than this one!"
Disregarding Ashtel's self-recrimination, Link procured some juice for himself and offered a plate laden with sweets to Riya as their group advanced towards the main stage.
"Ah, it appears we've arrived precisely on time; the lovebirds are moments away from gracing the stage," Ashtel observed.
As these words escaped Ashtel's lips, Jin Walt, resplendent in the groom's silvery-white attire, emerged from a grand corridor on the right, his friends following closely behind.
Adorned in exquisite attire and possessing a well-sculpted physique, Jin exuded extraordinary handsomeness on this auspicious day.
"Yo, you're running late, Link... A few more minutes, and you would have missed the grand entrance," Rio quipped.
Rio, Liam, Lia, and Ellie approached Link and Riya, each person holding either a beverage or a snack.
Every face was illuminated by a smile, and the ambiance was suffused with an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness.
"I was aiming for an early arrival; the truth is, Riya took an eternity to get ready," Link stated.
Hearing Link shift the blame, Riya playfully punched his waist and retorted with a pout, "It wasn't me who was dawdling; it was clearly you, constantly clinging to me, making it so difficult for me to get ready~"
At Riya's words, Rio and Liam exchanged knowing glances, a silent understanding passing between them, prompting Link to avert his gaze to mask his embarrassment.
"Ahem, you youngsters enjoy yourselves; I think I'll mingle with some old acquaintances over there," Ashtel said.
Observing the carefree enjoyment of the younger group, Ashtel felt out of place and opted to join Lia’s father and the other S-rankers who were engrossed in a discussion with Raji regarding the escalating challenges of recent dungeons.
Rio, sporting a handsome blackish-gold ensemble chosen by Lia, appeared quite dashing with his contemporary hairstyle meticulously done by Liam that day.
Ellie’s hair was styled in a ponytail, its raven black strands cascading beautifully, captivating all who beheld it.
Everyone was dressed in their finest attire for the occasion; even Raji, who typically favored her professional workwear, looked strikingly different in a one-piece white dress, a stark contrast to her usual reserved demeanor.
As the collective anticipation of the crowd reached its zenith, the bride made her entrance onto the stage, eliciting an collective gasp from the onlookers!
Anna Datt, radiant in her wedding dress, beamed with a wide, joyous smile; her parents, overcome with emotion, occasionally wiped away tears of happiness while gazing fondly at their daughter.
Jin and Anna proceeded to the stage, meeting at its center.
Their eyes locked in a profound gaze, as if in that moment, the world around them ceased to exist, leaving only the two of them!
With the decline of most religions in this magical realm, wedding ceremonies have become considerably more streamlined.
The mutual consent of the bride and groom now holds greater significance than any perfunctory ritual.
As Jin lacked parents, Anna's parents assumed the role of matchmakers, guiding Jin’s and Anna’s hands together before posing the crucial questions to the couple.
"Jin Walt, do you take Anna Datt to be your wife? Do you pledge to remain faithful to her through all of life’s circumstances, in joy and sorrow, in health and in illness, to cherish her, and to hold her in reverence for the entirety of your days?"
With a smile and a nod, Jin answered the question posed to him.
"I do."
Upon hearing his affirmative, the same inquiry was directed towards Anna.
"Anna Datt, do you take Jin Walt to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him, and to honor him all the days of your life?"
Anna inclined her head, a smile gracing her lips as she joyfully responded,
"I do."
With both parties in agreement, Jin and Anna were now officially united in matrimony!
"You may now kiss the bride."
Anna didn't even pause for Jin; she moved forward, seized his collar, and planted a kiss directly upon his lips without a moment's hesitation!
Jin, though taken aback, didn't pull away, embracing Anna in return.
Witnessing this moment, all the guests raised their glasses—whether filled with wine, juice, or tea—to toast the newly married couple.
"It’s finally happened! They’re married at last! We used to long for this very day!"
Link and the others joined in, applauding and cheering for the couple with wide smiles.
After decades of tribulations, Jin and Anna had finally succeeded in marrying each other!
It was a celebration filled with immense joy, and the entire nation showered the couple with their heartfelt blessings on this momentous occasion.
