I was the Founding Father of the United States

Chapter 95 Wedding

1 month 8 day.

Three days after Chen Wenbin became a baron.

St. George's Chapel in Hanover Square, Mayfair, Westminster, London, is where Sir Charles Chan and Diana will be married today.

As for the engagement ceremony, it was held yesterday at the Keats Baptist Church near the Tower of London. The officiant was Reverend John Davis, an old friend of Chen Wenbin, and the attendees were all Chen Wenbin's subordinates and old friends.

The St. George's Chapel, where the formal wedding is being held today, is an Anglican church. The invited guests are mostly friends of the Spencer family and high-society figures whom Chen Wenbin has made acquaintances in London. Without exception, they all have titles and ranks, and at the very least, they are members of the Royal Society.

Therefore, outside the church entrance today, there are ornately decorated four-wheeled carriages everywhere, as well as formally dressed noblemen and ladies.

"...They're here! They're here!" someone exclaimed, pointing to the wedding carriage procession that had appeared on the street.

"It's finally here... Huh?"

An elderly nobleman, noticing the red dragon emblem on the carriage, asked in bewilderment, "Is that a dragon emblem? Could the baron possibly have Welsh or Tudor blood?"

"Ha ha!"

A middle-aged man nearby couldn't help but laugh, "Dear old John! Don't you know that Dr. Robin comes from the East? Eastern nobles also use dragons as their family crests!"

"No, Uncle Alexander, you're not entirely right."

Behind the two, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a white gown, explained, "Ordinary Eastern nobles are not entitled to use the dragon as their family crest. Only families with royal blood can use the dragon emblem, and Sir Robin has Eastern royal blood!"

The middle-aged man turned and glanced at her, then exclaimed in sudden realization, "So Dr. Robin has Eastern royal blood! No wonder he achieved so much!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and quickly smiled warmly at the young woman, "Beautiful Georgiana, you're the bride's cousin, so you must be very familiar with Dr. Robin. Could you please talk to him and move my father's appointment time forward by two months? He has very severe gout, and Dr. Robin's appointments are already booked for the next three months. I really don't want to see him continue to suffer!"

Upon hearing this, Georgiana immediately regretted her earlier explanation... Although she was Baron Spencer's eldest daughter and Diana's cousin, she had only met Dr. Robin a few days ago with her father, and her relationship with Diana was very ordinary; they barely spoke to each other!

But refusing now would be too embarrassing, so he could only nod vaguely and say, "Yes, I'll talk to him, but I can't guarantee it..."

Before she could finish speaking, the middle-aged man exclaimed with delight, "It's alright! I'm sure Dr. Robin wouldn't refuse the beautiful Georgiana!"

Damn it!

Georgiana cursed inwardly in annoyance, then rolled her eyes and said calmly, "Uncle Alexander, if you're worried about the Baron's health, you can buy some painkillers from Robin's Pharmacy. They're very effective for treating all kinds of pain!"

Who doesn't know that Ma Fei is a good guy!

The middle-aged nobleman rolled his eyes inwardly, but that stuff now costs five pounds a pill in the pharmacy, and it's also very limited. You have to pay at least double the price to buy it, so even nobles can't afford it!

Of course, he couldn't say that outwardly, so he shook his head and said, "I did consider buying Mafia, but didn't Dr. Robin say that Mafia might be addictive? I still hope my father can receive better treatment..."

What a stingy fellow!

Georgiana thought disdainfully, and was just about to make a sarcastic remark when the wedding carriage procession stopped at the church entrance.

Chen Wenbin, dressed in a tailcoat, was the first to get off the carriage, and then reached out to help Diana, who was wearing a white wedding dress and a white veil, down.

Diana didn't wear much jewelry on her dress, only pearl earrings and a ruby ​​necklace, but she looked radiant and full of energy, which made Georgiana feel a pang of envy and jealousy.

She never imagined that her younger sister, who was not valued by her family, would find a prince in distress in North America!

And they actually... they're shameless!

She glanced at the lower abdomen of Diana's wedding dress and Chen Wenbin's handsome face, which resembled that of Apollo, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily.

If it were him, it wouldn't be a problem...

At this moment, Chen Wenbin, the groom, was of course unaware that he had already been targeted by Diana's cousin, but he could still feel the intense passion in the eyes of the women around him... Damn it!

Fortunately, he now has status and position, otherwise he might have been captured and humiliated by these noblewomen!

Following the wedding ceremony, the couple walked arm in arm toward the altar in the church, with relatives and friends standing on both sides of the aisle.

Following behind the couple were the best man to keep the rings and the bridesmaids to prevent the dresses from dragging on the ground.

Chen Wenbin's best men were John Adams, Francis Russell, and Chris, who returned to his side.

Diana's bridesmaids were her cousin Georgiana Spencer, Francis Russell's fiancée Elizabeth Keppel, and Edward Scott's daughter Louisa Scott.

Soon, the two walked up to the altar of the church. Richard Tricker, the Archdeacon of the Diocese of London, smiled and nodded at them, then waved for everyone to sit down and loudly read out the canon law.

After the announcement was read, he asked the people present if anyone had a legitimate reason to oppose the marriage, and naturally no one did.

He then asked Chen Wenbin and Diana in turn if they were willing to marry each other, and both answered "yes" and took their marriage vows in turn.

The specific content of the vows was almost identical to the later marriage vows, the only difference being that they first swore in Latin and then in English... Judging from the expressions of the audience, most of them understood Latin!

The final step was the exchange of rings. After the couple placed rings on each other's left ring fingers, Bishop Richard Tricker smiled and announced that their marriage was blessed by God and that they were now legally married.

Everyone stood up and applauded, but no one urged Chen Wenbin to kiss Diana, because aristocratic church weddings at this time were generally solemn, as could be seen from the fact that there were no flowers or petals on site.

Furthermore, throughout the entire wedding ceremony, Bishop Richard Tricker did not invite Diana's father, Robert, to the stage to hand over his daughter to Chen Wenbin.

The reason is simple: the two families had already reached an agreement during the previous marriage negotiations, and all the terms and conditions were clearly listed, so there was no need to go through this unnecessary process.
