I GOT A bit of a surprise when a row of resort employees greeted me. I reciprocated with a smile during my step.
When my white heels stepped on the sand, I couldn’t help but smile. Maybe there is nothing wrong with undressing it? It doesn’t matter if I wore anything. The important thing is that I get to the end where I know someone is waiting for me.
I can see the aisle from here. I can’t still believe this is happening.
Tears started to form in my eyes when I saw my friends and relatives waiting for me.
They are complete—Dad and Mom with Clarence, Cindy, Carrick, Jocko, and others with their complete attire.
That’s when I can’t hold back my tears. It continued to run down my cheek. I paused for a moment as if unable to step on my feet due to too much emotion.
Mom and Dad immediately approached me to hug me tightly. Mommy wiped away my tears and handed me the bouquet of roses.
“I thought you couldn’t come?” I said with full of amazement.
“Lawrence planned this smoothly. At first, I didn’t want to agree, but your man was very consistent,” Dad told me.
“We’re so happy for you, hija. Finally, you’ve found the right man for you,” Mom said in between her sobs. She also did not suppress the emotion.
“Mom . . .” I whimpered with joy.
“That’s right, and the best thing is to come!” Dad cut us off.
The band began to play to the accompaniment of beautiful music. Again my tears threatened to spill in my eyes when we started walking on the long carpet.
I saw Cindy, Julia, Sam, and Ally. They were so beautiful wearing colored champagne gowns. Cindy wiped away her tears before smiling broadly at me.
On the other hand, Carrick, Jocko, Santino, Jeremy, and William were handsome, wearing an Americana. And to my surprised, Peter was also there. His smile was warmer than the gentle sun while wearing his gray tuxedo.
I took a deep breath before turning my attention to the front, where Lawrence was waiting for me.
I believed that fairytales do come true if you put some trust, effort, and patience into it. I did not want too much. I just need someone who could love me the way I deserve to be loved.
My heart moved as I took a moment to stare at his features carefully. I openly gaped as I observed his sharp jaw, chin, and cheekbones. His dark brows were actually graceful, and dark eyes make me weak at the knees. His soft, sharp lips were perfectly ripe for the kissing.
I held my breath as he stared deep into my eyes. I couldn’t help but blush.
It is undeniable that he stands out from everyone. He was wearing a black tuxedo while Franco was next to him. Lawrence bent down as he shook and tapped Franco on the shoulder.
As I approached, the throbbing of my chest grew more vigorous. Until I stopped in front of him, he immediately faced Dad and Mom.
Dad happily gave my hand to him as he patted Lawrence’s shoulder. “Take care of my daughter,” Dad told him.
Lawrence answered well before formally presenting his hand in front of me.
I didn’t even think twice when I grabbed his hand tightly.
His hand slowly but surely caress my back to help me walk.
“You’re the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen,” he whispered to me. I could not answer immediately. My mind was still floating at the moment. Even the start of the wedding ceremony did not enter my mind.
“I now pronounce you, husband and wife,” the priest announced and turned to Lawrence. “You may now kiss your bride.” At the same time, the witnesses to the wedding were strongly tempted.
My breath was ripped from my lungs as I turned my gaze to Lawrence. His eyes were gleaming with amusement. He then slowly licked his lips, and he gently stroked my cheek. Finally, he whispered, “I love you.”
That kiss came slowly. It’s not just an ordinary kiss. Because the kiss we shared was long and sweet, we would not have separated if everyone had not applauded.
The celebration was held at the Pavilion de Saavedra. The reception was crowded. Almost all of Lawrence’s friends, acquaintances, and business partners came.
I greeted them warmly next to Lawrence while carrying our son Clarence.
“Can we just leave now?” he whispered to me and also played the malicious smile on his lips.
My eyes widened after I pinched him on his side, which made him wince in pain.
“Can you still do that when you’re in my bed, huh?” he whispered huskily. He also quickly pulled my hip closer to him.
I swallowed hard. I couldn’t help but blush because of what he said. Fortunately, Cindy and I were immediately approached by the whole troop.
“Congrats, guys! I still can’t believe the speed of your marriage!” said Cindy, who hugged me tightly.
