《有花堪折全集》第70/78页
“好啊。”苏浅从前的奥迪处理掉了，此刻倒是有几分怀念。
美洲豹停在了法院门口。下车的时候沈辉越发疑惑。
三人过了安检，却见到一个中等身材的白人女孩儿手捧花球站在大厅里不时向入口处张望。
苏浅连忙向她挥手，两个女孩互相拥抱了下才松开。苏浅用英文将双方都介绍了一番。
Amanda打量几眼沈辉，然后悄声对苏浅道：“他很帅，只比Shirota Yuu差一点点。”
苏浅噗嗤一笑，心知这位好友看《网球王子》入疯魔了，工作了几年都念念不忘。
步入法庭的时候，穿着黑袍的女法官刚从里面出来，看到他们立刻拍了拍胸口，笑道：“幸亏我今天没有迟到。”又连忙上前分别跟Amanda和苏浅拥抱了一番，竟然也是认识的。
苏浅向沈奇和沈辉介绍道：“这位是我的师姐Lily，现在已经是法官了，厉害吧？”
沈辉笑言：“你交的朋友都是厉害的。”
Lily跟沈辉握手，又将他的名字念了好几遍才罢休，弄得沈辉越发不明所以。
Amanda将粉色玫瑰和香水百合扎成的花球递给苏浅。Lily笑道：“看来大家都已经准备好了。”
苏浅笑着对沈辉道：“先把戒指取下来，等会再重新戴上。”
沈辉此时才有如梦初醒的感觉。他拉着苏浅的手，一时心潮澎湃地说不出话来，良久才道：“我却不知道美国的法院是能举行结婚仪式的。坏猫怎么又不告诉我？”
“给你个惊喜啊。”无论如何，要赶在他动手术之前才好。
苏浅笑眯眯地看着他补充：“新郎可是不能哭的哦。”
沈辉只能强行忍下眼眶涌起的酸涩，笑看她。
Lily看到众人都各就各位，便拿出了法官的沉静威严，开始朗读：“THE HEART OF MARRIAGE is the taking of another person in that person's entirety, with the good times and the bad times, the sad moments, the happy ones and the taking of that person as a friend and companion for life. It is not something that just happens, a good marriage is created. In a good marriage, the little things are the big things. Do not take one another for granted. Do things for one another, not with the attitude that it is a duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy and giving. Develop the capacity to forgive and forget. Do not look for perfection in your partner. Create an atmosphere in which each of you can grow.
THE ESSENCE OF MARRIAGE is love and love is one of the highest experiences that we as human beings can share. Love adds meaning to our lives. One of the greatest things we can do is to love another human being as a husband and wife love each other.
MARRIAGE SYMBOLIZES the sharing of two lives. Yet this closeness will not diminish the character or being of either individual partner. As your marriage continues to grow,your understanding of each other will continue to expand.
TIME AND TOGETHERNESS will gain for each of you a deep knowledge of each other. Today's marriage ceremony signifies the beginning of a lifetime of wonderful human experiences to be shared as a husband and wife. ”
一顿，她越发郑重了神色，沉声道：“PLEASE FACE EACH OTHER AND HOLD HANDS.”
苏浅跟沈辉面对面，交握着手凝视对方的眼睛，都在彼此眼中看到了自己。
“NOW WE CELEBRATE the love that 沈辉and 苏浅 have for each other and as family and friends you give social recognition to their intention to permanently accept the other by reciting the marriage vows:
HUSBAND Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife”
“I DO.”
“Will you love her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live”
“I WILL.”沈辉缓缓说出这句誓词。
当苏浅重复誓词，说出“I will”的时候，沈辉情不自禁还是红了眼眶，却强忍着没有让眼泪落下来。许多人在说这句誓词的时候，疾病只是将来的一种可能性，可是对苏浅来说，他的疾病却已经是眼前必须面对的残酷事实，她却还是义无返顾地说出了这一句。
短短两个字的承诺却重逾千斤。
站在二人身后的沈奇和Amanda作为见证人，看着眼前这一幕也已经泪盈于睫。
接着两人同时跟着法官念誓词：“……to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.”沈辉跟苏浅都不知道，他们彼此念到这里，都在心里用中文重复了一遍：直到死亡才能让我们分离。
接下来新郎、新娘交换戒指。
“I THEREFORE, by the powers vested in me as a Judge of the XX Judicial District, State of California, pronounce you HUSBAND AND WIFE.
YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE.”
沈辉倾身在苏浅柔软的唇上轻触而过，却越发握紧了她的手。
