"... This is it." Nadia said and Tyson slowly brought the car to a stop. He switched off the car's engine and got out, so did Nadia.

"It's magnificent!" Tyson imposingly said, feeling a humble pride and admiring the design of the large Cathedral in front of him.

"Yes, this is my church." Nadia proudly smiled. Every time she introduced a new person in the building, she felt delightful about it, "Let's go in."

They strode together in the church, and continued to the pulpit, walking past hundreds of empty rows of padded pews. Tyson was all along admiring the church as they walked inside it. Even in the eleven o'clock late-night hour, the church had the brightness of daytime, with sparkling marble floors and brilliant florescent light installations. It had a view of fascination and attraction to any eye that set upon it.

When they got to the pulpit, Nadia knelt before the cross of her Savior. Tyson did the same, just beside her.

"I always find a sense of peace when I come here at night." Nadia said, "When nobody is around and I am all alone, and especially if I have a disturbance on mind. The Holy Spirit works miraculously. I believe you will also have peace of mind and understanding with what is troubling you."

Tyson marveled at her with the information, "I believe so, too. Thank you."

Nadia nodded with a smile then got back to the cross and closed her eyes, "Let us pray... Lord, we come upon you with difficulties in our lives. We kneel before You and ask for your guidance, protection and knowledge of our daily lives, dear Lord. We know You have the power of our guidance, O' Lord. Guide us, O' Almighty. Show us the right path and lead us onto Thee, O' Lord. Forgive our sins and make us understand our surroundings and lead us away from temptations, O' Lord. Show us the light, the way, and lead us into it, O' Lord. Give us ease in our lives and realization of our ways. We trust and believe in You, in Jesus' name, Amen." She said and opened her eyes, turning to Tyson.

Tyson was admiring her with fascination, "Great prayer!"

"Thank you." Nadia said with appreciatory expression.

"So," Tyson looked around the church, "You are the youth representative here?"

"Yes." Nadia livelily nodded, "God bestowed on me this responsibility and I honor it completely. Bringing youths to His ways is a challenge, one that needs patience, and I can handle it- through His grace, of course."

"Definitely. I am proud of you." Tyson said with a chivalrous spirit, "If all youths can follow your example and grasp your knowledge, they can live fulfilling and satisfying lives."

"I believe so, too." Nadia kindly approved, "Being close to the Almighty is the best thing one can ever have in life. I only wish, and it is part of my dream and daily prayers, that all youths realize this." She spiritedly got up, moved to the chancel, spread her arms and slowly started spinning around, "I feel so happy with my life, with God's knowledge! It is an amazing life to live the way God would want us to live."

Tyson also got up, feeling an exciting pleasure in seeing the lady's happiness. He got to her and stopped her from spinning by holding both of her hands, "You are a special person on this planet, Nadia." He stared into her eyes, "You make everyone around you happy. This makes me really adore and admire you. You have no idea how you make me feel, and everyone around your life. May the Almighty continue strengthening you and bless you."

"Amen, and you, too, Tyson." Nadia said honorably, "You are also a special person who deserves His blessings."

"Amen."

At the particular moment, a young middle-aged couple walked into the church while happily chatting and laughing. As they walked inside, they noticed Tyson and Nadia at the chancel. They proceeded to them.

"Hello, guys." The man in the couple happily started. When Tyson and Nadia greeted them, he continued, "Is the reverend still awake?"

"I am sorry. At this hour he is already asleep." Nadia responded, "Do you have an urgent matter with him?"

"Oh, no, not urgent." The lady in the couple said, "And I know you, Nadia, right?"

Nadia happily nodded, "Yes, I am. You must be a member of the church?"

"Yes." The lady said, then turned to the partner with a disappointed look, "Honey, too bad the reverend is asleep."

"We shouldn't give up just yet." The partner said, "We can go and try all the other churches in the city."

"But it is almost midnight." The lady said, her eyes showing vague hope, "These men need rest by such an hour."

"True, but maybe there are those who stay up until late at night praying for the world. You never know. We live in a messed-up world that needs continuous prayers."

"I am sorry to indulge in your business." Tyson chimed in interestedly, "You seem happy and eager to do this. Is there a way we can be able to help?"

The man looked at Tyson in thoughtful consideration, then turned to the partner, "Maybe he can help." He went back to Tyson, "There might be a possible chance that you can help." He felt excitedly motivated, "You see, a few hours ago, I just proposed to this lovely woman and she said YES. When we were returning back home, passing by the church, she had this urge to be familiar with what will take place in the aisle. So, here we are, even before we plan anything on the big day."

Both Tyson and Nadia laughed.

"Women, huh?" Tyson said, "They are never patient, aren't they?"

"Not in the matters of spending the rest of our lives with our greatest men as our husbands." Nadia joined in.

"Very true." The woman said, "We are never patient in that area."

"Okay." Tyson nodded, "Lucky for you, you don't have to worry. I happen to be familiar with all that takes place at the aisle." He moved to the pulpit, "Come this way."

The couple got to him, happy and full of energy.

"Miss... Nadia." Tyson looked at Nadia with a smile, "Please, take a seat at the nearest front pew."

Nadia amusedly did what she was told. She sat and looked at them.

"Okay..." Tyson rubbed his hands facing the couple, who happily faced each other in front of him, "Let us practice this with your engagement ring." He looked at the woman.

"Alright." The woman happily obliged by getting her engagement ring from her finger and giving it to the now reverend.

"Beautiful!" Tyson admired the ring for a moment, "Now..." He looked at the man, holding both the couple's hands, "Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife; for richer and poor, sickness and in health, and for better for worse, till death do you part?" He mentioned the Betrothal Vow in the best way he could remember.

The man grinned hugely, "Of course, with all my life, and I promise to always_"

"My friend," Tyson lightly pressed the man's hand in his, "It will just be okay if you say Yes I Do. There is no need to add anything after that."

"Okay, reverend, Yes I Do."

Tyson smiled, now turning to the woman, "Do you take this man to be your wedded husband_"

"Reverend, I will not only take him my wedded husband," The woman chimed in livelily, "But my greatest friend, companion and life partner."

Tyson sighed looking at her, "You are way out of line, but I will excuse you since you are new to this." He came back looking at them both, "Let me inform you of the ground rules in the process. Number one, the reverend is the only one to speak. Number two, under no circumstance should you interrupt the reverend. Number three, your job and task is simply saying Yes I Do. Don't say anything else. Not before or after the three words. Got it?"

The couple amusedly nodded as Nadia bubbled with laughter from where she sat.

"Now, let us try it again." Tyson said, looking at the woman, "Do you take this man to be your wedded husband; for better for worse, for richer for poor, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

"Yes, I Do!" The woman happily nodded.

Tyson smiled, "Now, you may kiss the bride."

The woman leaned in for the kiss but the partner paused, turning to Tyson humbly, "Sorry to break your rules, reverend, but where does the ring come in?"

"Oh!" Tyson was taken aback. He forgot he had put the ring in his pocket. He turned to the laughing Nadia at the pew and whispered to her, "Where does it come in?"

"I believe it comes before the part of kissing the bride." Nadia amusedly whispered back, then her eyes immediately noticed a figure standing close to the chancel door, "Or maybe we should let the man with full knowledge about it take over."

Tyson and the couple turned to where Nadia was and also noticed the figure. The figure slowly walked to them.

"You can be one crazy reverend in my opinion." The Church reverend said as he walked to them. He then stopped before them, "But nevertheless, I liked your rules, though they were a little bit harsh."

All the people in the church amusedly and happily laughed.

"Thank you, Father." Tyson said, "I believe the rules will be okay since at times they get disrespectful."

"That will be your work, then. Go write it down and come pin it around a wall here." The reverend jokingly remarked then stretched his hand to him, "The ring? I believe I can be a little better than you."

Tyson gave him the ring and joined Nadia, leaving the couple happier and gladder in the night hour.
