True Love Waits novel Chapter 522

"Okay, the wedding gown is decided." Carlos smiled broadly. The CEO had been smiling a lot these days, probably because he was the groom-to-be and the happy father of two kids.

After that, Debbie picked out a few more dresses for their wedding photo shoot. Carlos proposed to go on a trip to take the wedding pictures, but Debbie decided against it. She was worried about her little baby, Terilynn. She suggested, "The sets in the studio look real and grand. Let's just take our wedding photos here."

Carlos didn't expect that she would turn down his idea. She liked traveling a lot. But anyway, he followed her idea and nodded, "Okay."

The preparations for their wedding were going on in an orderly and smooth manner. Before the car accident, Carlos had selected a six-star hotel as the venue to hold their wedding ceremony. But he changed the venue this time.

Their wedding was to be held on the desert island where they had stayed for a day after surviving from the shipwreck. Carlos had been developing that island since a year ago. The construction was almost done. It was a completely different place now, not the earlier deserted island anymore. They built a grand wedding hall there and a village with numerous houses for people to live in.

The day Debbie posted their wedding pictures, the Internet fell into utter chaos once again. It was such a hot topic that the Weibo app, along with some other social networking sites, crashed because too many netizens were clicking and commenting on the post at the same time. Unfortunately for the programmers of those apps, their National Day holiday was cut short because of that.

The couple received a ton of blessings from all kinds of people. Celebrities from different fields reposted their wedding photos and blessed them. Their wedding was the topic of conversation in every corner of the world.

The betrothal gifts that Carlos had given to Debbie's family included the Shining International Plaza, 900 million dollars and a few other real estates.

Ramona was greatly taken aback when she came to know about Carlos' gifts, so was Debbie. He did very much love her. It wasn't auspicious to turn down betrothal gifts, so Ramona opted to accept them for the moment. She decided to find a better time to talk about it and try to return some of them to him.

They had a rehearsal ceremony on the day before the wedding ceremony. It was only then that Debbie finally found out that the wedding venue was the desert island.

She felt moved when she set foot on the island again. Everywhere she went, green trees and varieties of flowers greeted her eyes. It looked like a bustling resort now.

Carlos had invited a myriad of guests to their wedding. On the wedding day, helicopters, cruise ships and yachts busily traveled back and forth, carrying their guests to the island. It was the biggest event of the city.

Debbie spent the night before the wedding in the East City Villa. Carlos had specifically arranged for the old housemaid—Julie, their old driver—Matan, and the retired steward—Philip, to come back and accompany Debbie at the villa.

The three of them were the ones who had taken care of Debbie when she was first married to Carlos. Seeing them by her side again, Debbie felt like she was back in those school years. Tears sprang to her eyes.

Julie hugged Debbie as she said between tears and laughter, "I'm so glad. Mr. Huo and you finally have a happy ending..."

Philip's eyes were red from tears as well. He sighed with emotions welling inside him, "Debbie, you silly kid. You're so lucky that you didn't divorce Mr. Huo at the very beginning!"

Debbie looked at the three elders who had always treated her like a granddaughter. She said with gratitude, "Thank you. I feel so blessed to have you all here to witness our wedding ceremony."

Ivan, Kasie, Dixon, Niles, Yates, Jared, Sasha, Xavier, Kinsley and his girlfriend, as well as some other friends all swarmed to East City Villa to spend the night with Debbie, instead of checking into the hotel rooms which Carlos had arranged beforehand.

There were only seven guest rooms in the villa, not enough to hold the large group of people. But they didn't mind making do with it and crowded together to have a happy night.

Kasie and Sasha decided to squeeze into the same bed with the bride-to-be. The three girls chatted chirpily until the wee hours and finally fell asleep. But Debbie had only gotten very little sleep as she was woken up to get dressed and do the makeup.

Eyes red with tears, Ramona helped her daughter put on the wedding gown. As she combed her long hair, she said in a sentimental voice, "Deb, you look so beautiful today. How time flies. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up and have become a wife and a mother. I'm glad to see you marry the man you love the most."

Debbie felt a pang of sadness in her heart. They had missed a lot of precious time. "Mom, you'll also see Decker marry someone and have kids too."
