十点的钟声响彻完毕,林海程终于在神坛边牵到爱人的手,虽然一如既往的冰凉,却带着以往没有的轻轻颤抖。林海程紧紧握住何易的手,将自己掌心的温度传递给他。 “I require and charge you both that if either of you know any impediment whyyou may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony,you confess it now. Be assured that if any persons are joined together otherwise than as God’s word allows, their marriage is not lawful。”神坛上站着的神父捧着经书,开始念誓词。 “Haicheng Lin。Do you take Yi He for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?” “是的,我愿意。”林海程转眼看着何易,用中文轻轻说道。 “Yi He。Do you take Haicheng Lin for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?” “愿意。”虽然被泪水模糊的视线中,已经看不清面前的人的脸,何易还是直直望向他所在的方向,声音有些颤抖地回答道。 “Father, we pray for all married persons, that they may continue to give, be able to forgive, and experience more and more of the joy of the Lord with each passing day. And especially for Haicheng Lin and Yi He, now beginning their married life together, that they may have pineassistance, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health. Mayyour fullest blessing come upon (Bride’s Name) and her husband (Groom’s Name), from this day forward, for ever and ever, Amen。”
