The crowd of the progression, the noise level, was nothing unusual for a traditional Bulgarian wedding but it resonated differently here. He once again thought of his parents, but only briefly. The sun was shining in Alicia's smile, and that was all that mattered, his wife and their future together. Her radiant smile warmed his heart and he grinned when she replied, noticing that her inflection was getting better.
Although the pace of the procession was quick, Viktor was mindful not to overstep his stride since Alicia was wearing heels. Dancers occasionally branched off to invite bystanders into the group all the way to the church. Viktor's smile broadened when they turned the corner and the converted building came into view. He could see Shacklebolt standing by the door, there to give his 'official' seal on the union.
Viktor slowed his step, drawing Alicia close in as he turned, spinning her in a small circle with a deep chuckle to the cheers and clapping of his friends. "Only few step more," he said, grinning, as the singing began to die down, though the dancers showed no signs of slowing. Viktor made sure her step was solid again before restarting their walk toward the church as his teammates broke away from the crowd to race ahead, taking their places on either side of the stairs leading up to the church.
