(This one is for my girl @Riemc, I don’t have words to thank you for all the love and support. My heart is humbled.)

The cool breeze swept in from the tranquil sea, the aroma of fresh spring flowers impregnated the air, butterflies danced, and kids giggled as the vast ground was prepared for Xiran and Aselia to renew their matrimony amidst their loved ones.

They hadn’t gotten the chance to do it with the sudden arrival of their kids but now they had decided on doing it so their kids could be part of the ceremony as well.

Esma and Razian had already flown in the previous night and were staying in the room specifically built for them in the house.

Silver and Amoris had returned from their respective missions as well.

Rivan and Irlana had prepared the couple’s attires for the evening function. But they had been kept secret, only to be revealed when they would be adorning them.

"Hey!" His melodious voice hit her like warm tendrils, wrapping her in cocoons of tranquillity. Just like the first time they had met. Her gorgeous eyes flew open and she fell into those treacherous greyish pits that never failed to swallow her whole.

"Hey!" Aselia wrapped her arms around his tapered waist as he effortlessly climbed over and buried himself deep into her velvety folds. His ardent lips found her soft ones and engulfed the sultry moan that was elicited due to his swift movement.

"Mrs. Xiran, are you ready to bind yourself to me again?" he seductively whispered, his lips grazing the edges of her cherry lips. Their bodies syncing with each other’s rhythm, creating a melody of their own.

"I did that a long time ago, Mr. Xiran. It’s just the reminder that you are never getting rid of me," a self-assuring smile covered her face and he couldn’t help but bask in the satisfaction it brought him.

"Rid of you? You are mine for an eternity to come, there are many worlds we yet need to explore. So buckle up, we have a wild ride ahead," he thrust inside her with full force and she yelped in ecstasy his actions brought her.

"Only if we will stop making babies. The rate we are going, in the next ten years we will have a couple more and we will never be able to travel like we had dreamt," Aselia chuckled and Xiran joined in, seeing her words held truth.

"No more babies for now, I promise," he slowly slid out of her, leaving her tethering for more.

"No, finish what you started here," Aselia held his arm and he lopsidedly smirked at her.

"Don’t yell at me when we get late for our ceremony. Your ladies are soon going to be banging at our door," he warned and Aselia visibly sighed. Knowing they needed to leave this bed and get ready for the day.

"You are finishing this in the bathroom. Tonight, I want you all to myself, since mom and dad are here and will take care of the kids," getting out of bed she planted a small kiss on his ever-wanting lips and made her way to their enormous bathroom to shower, gesturing him to follow her and he did like a lovesick puppy, his long silverish hit swaying behind him.

"It’s going to be a long shower," he declared, closing the bathroom door.

"Tell me again why I am wearing blue instead of my signature white?" Xiran huffed at his best friend, who was adjusting the collar of his royal blue three-piece.

"Because you have already worn white at your first ceremony. And blue suits you, it’s my colour and I want my best friend to wear it," Rivan brushed off his lapels and patted his chest while giving him a knowing smile.

"What are you making her wear? I hope it’s not black, she hates that colour," Xiran was apprehensive about Aselia’s attire.

"You will see soon, let’s head out now. Everyone is waiting," Rivan wanted to keep it a mystery until he would see it for himself.

Xiran threw one final glance at himself and adjusted the last strands of his hair before heading out with his friend. He was getting ready at Rivan’s place so the ladies could have their villa all to themselves.

"You look dapper," Silver remarked while adjusting his grey coat. He stood broad and tall right next to the outside door. His white hair was neatly tied in a bun.

"Thank you," Xiran appreciatively nodded as they were joined by Rumail, Zirius and Yurian. All the men were draped in elegant three-pieces. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A heated discussion was entailed between them on whose partner would take the longest to get ready.

Kids were running in and out of the two villas.

Girls were wearing frilled long-tailed frocks, while boys were in matching tuxedos. Twins had adorned similar colours to their father and rushed up to him to show off their suits.

"Both of you look so very handsome," Xiran bent down so he could kiss both their cheeks and they did the same. Smooching him with small kisses, making him laugh. He held their tiny hands and led them outside where the ceremony was to be held near the beach.

The food, the drinks, the DJ, velvet-adorned chairs and the platform everything had been arranged. The soft music filled the air, romanticising the ambience all around them.

The men and the boys made their way to the ground, settling in their respective positions. Their hands clasped in front, holding wreaths made out of fresh leaves, shoulders broad and satisfied smiles highlighting their features.

Twins stood with their father while Rivan stood behind him, holding two wreaths. One for Aselia and the other for Irlana. Others stood along the way so that when their respective partners arrived they would lead them along and adorn them with wreaths as per the custom of elven weddings.

Esma emerged first with Xolani. The little girl was wearing an emerald-shaded frock with rainbow-coloured frills and a tail. She had a small tiara adorning her curled-up silver-ish golden hair. Esma was wearing a simple yet elegant mint-shaded gown and a wreath made out of fresh flowers.

"She is coming out," Esma informed everyone with a polite smile and Xiran stood even straighter than he already was.

"Daddy!" she clapped and ran up to her father. He gathered her in his arms and kissed her head. His heart brimming with love for his little girl.

"My Princess," he chimed, warmly smiling at her as the cool wind shuffled their hair. "Did you see your mommy? How did she look?" he asked his little girl.

"Butiful," she answered in her childish way and he chuckled.

Soon the ladies began to file out and the music shifted. Men became alert, their eyes longed to see their girls as they approached them with hearty smiles and lavish attires. All in the different shades of green. Ranging from mint to sea green. The sea seemed to have come ashore today.
