The wedding venue was decorated in dominant colors of pink and white. It was like a fairy tale wedding; there was a pumpkin carriage and different sizes of shining crystal high heels, pink roses, pianos and other ornaments scattered around the hall. In the center of the stage was a ten-tiered wedding cake. Romantic music played in the background. The overall decoration looked absolutely luxurious and high-end.
A well-known MC walked onto the stage to announce the start of the ceremony. Soon, the two black doors that were three-meter high slowly opened up.
The spotlight was shone onto the doorway. Under the soft romantic melody, the bride, dressed in her magnificent wedding gown, slowly walked into the hall, holding a bouquet of pink and white roses in her hands; a long wedding train trailed behind her as she walked along the red carpet.
Everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Debbie, the day's heroine, wore a graceful smile and elegantly walked towards the dashing man on the other end of the red carpet.
Behind her were the two flower children—Sean and Evelyn.
Evelyn looked at the setting around her, wide-eyed. This was all really amazing and special because she was attending her own parents' wedding.
Sebastian walked Debbie down the aisle and gave her away to Carlos.
The wedding ring Debbie wore that day was the diamond ring which Carlos had given her a few years ago. The one that was almost the size of a pigeon egg! Carlos wanted to buy her a new ring, but Debbie refused. She insisted that she already had enough rings. On top of it all, this diamond ring carried a lot of good memories and reminded her of Carlos' love for her.
In the end, Carlos gave in and didn't insist further.
The wedding ceremony went smoothly. As a traditional rule, the couple bowed respectfully to the elders of the two families and served them tea. The family members gave them their blessings.
The grand ceremony went on for an hour, and it finally came to an end when the couple kissed affectionately, accompanied by a huge round of applause from the guests.
After the ceremony, the guests moved out of the hall. Carlos had arranged a few other programs to entertain their distinguished guests.
They marched over to the seashore to watch the marine life show.
There were dolphins, whales, and other marine life in the show, but they were not trained like those in an aquarium. They were attracted towards the island and they did what they usually did in the sea freely. It was the most natural show, with no harm caused to the animals. Everyone enjoyed it with bright smiles on their faces.
Meanwhile, the heroine was still busy. In the lounge, with the help of the bridesmaids, Debbie changed into a red Chinese cheongsam, getting ready to toast to the guests at the dinner party.
At the party, led by Wade and Miranda ahead of them, Debbie and Carlos walked arm in arm around the tables and toasted to each of the guests.
Although Carlos didn't publicly announce his true parentage, most of the guests already knew the truth. So, they all naturally considered Wade and Miranda as Carlos' real parents.
Hayden was invited to the wedding as well. He didn't come alone. Along with him, were his wife and little child. When Carlos clinked glasses with Hayden, Hayden's wife whispered to Debbie, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Huo."
Debbie was caught by surprise. If her memory served her right, this woman was the daughter of the Qin family, who had collaborated with Olga to bully her four years ago. But why was she thanking her now?
Seeing the confusion in Debbie's eyes, she explained in a low voice, "Thank you for turning down Hayden so cruelly. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have had the chance to win him over." It was as clear as crystal to everyone in Y City that Hayden had been crazily in love with Debbie. Hayden's wife was well aware of it too.
At the beginning, she hated Debbie to the bone. But later, she had seen with her eyes and had also heard how coldly Debbie had turned Hayden down. At that time, she finally was sure that Debbie didn't love Hayden.
After being rejected by Debbie, Hayden was crestfallen and heartbroken. His wife was clever enough to seize the opportunity to comfort him and get close to him. Since they were already married, she gradually won his heart.
Besides, Carlos always publicly showed off his love for Debbie in a high-profile manner. Each time, it hurt Hayden and was a mental blow to him. As time went by, he finally gave up on Debbie and accepted his wife.
Now, she had also given birth to a daughter for Hayden, so their relationship had improved even more. They were a couple in love now.
