Adam tried to smile bravely, he felt his heart churned. In front there, stood a man who would accompany his little girl until the end of time. And beside him, stood his little girl who is going to pick her happiness soon.

The bell was sounded, Adam assured her little girl once again and they walked down the aisle. There came the strains of Canon in D that echoing throughout the church corner. The atmosphere is so emotive and beautiful. Before they reached the altar, Eden said to his father, “Dad, no matter how much I love my husband in the future, I'll always be your little girl. I always love you, Dad!”
