The ceremony continues

Damn that viper of a woman! How on earth was he supposed to get out of this?

"And in sickness and in health..." the priest continued.

Jasper ignored him, taking a quick sideways glance at the side doors in hope of finding an exit.

"I do."

There were four scattered throughout the chapel. Two on either side.

"And do you, Jasmine, take..."

No such luck though as men like the one behind him were guarding each one. He looked above and past the suitor at the window past him, looking to see if there was anywhere he could climb out to escape either above or below, but no luck.

Sudden clapping distracted Jasper, as the crowd had suddenly began to politely celebrate. Wait a second...

His left hand was gently lifted away from the bouquet in that distracted instant. He gasped quietly in surprise as the smart dressed man slid a stunning diamond studded ring past his delicate red nails onto his ring finger.

Wait, WHAT? Wasn't the priest supposed to wait for the bride to say I do?

He froze up slightly. When he looked up and down at the window...did he look like a timid bride nodding shyly to accept her wedding vows?!

"You may now kiss the bride." the priest closed his book with a smile.

Jasper felt his blood run cold as the man, (his HUSBAND??) lifted back his veil. The fear that crept into his eyes probably merely looked like nervous anticipation to all those involved.

"You... are my babe now." the man said with a pleased smirk.

Jasper was stunned, his long dark eyelashes blinking in a way far more seductive than he wanted. He was someone's WIFE? His...babe?

In this moment of stunned vulnerability, the husband grabbed the bride tenderly by her chin and pulled her crimson lips into his.
