Part 3: Thieved hearts, shared vows
(Psst! Have you read Part 1 and Part 2?)
Little candles scattered haphazardly, like stars on earth. A circlet of gold, twined with flowers atop her head. The biggest smile, the brightest eyes, the warmest of cheeks adorn the bride, who whispers her vows under moonlight on her wedding night.

It is hard not to cry when she is standing there, her eyes shyly downcast, her face aglow. But it is easy to say the words, not only because he has been practising them several times during the last few days but because nature is not forced, it just happens.
Ah, Bahar. You have my whole heart. Sweetness of my soul, the gilded lining of my being, promised is my love to you, ever true.
Oh, Aydin, you showed me true love. I did not believe that it still existed. I thought it was from times passed and gone but then you proved me all wrong and it feels so right.
And I did not think I would find my wife to be the sun at night. For her to be the impossible.
And my husband is the moon that sun craves.
Crave no more.
