Looking for a Hero

12 Wedding

I am not a Spanish speaker but the characters are, so I'm trying my hand at trying to write bilingual characters.

I'm using Google Translate and whatever I learned from 2 years of high school Spanish classes and 2 years of college Spanish classes.

So I deeply apologize for any errors concerning and would appreciate any corrections.

Reena's heart was pounding. She felt like she was gonna have a heart attack. She was certain of it. Red's damage wasn't fixed because she was more than certain she was gonna have a heart attack.

The makeup staff of the Heroics team was applying more makeup to her face while the hair team was curling her long locks again. Her hair had grown so much longer since the attack from Olgard. It was down her back and almost to her waist.

She saw her diamond tiara with the veil on it being brushed out. It wasn't a shiny tiara because it was an old heirloom from her mom's family. She was all alone now, but she still had her momentos from her family.

"We'll put that on last," one of the staff told her.

Reena grabbed her dress from the wardrobe and went into the dressing room to put it on. It was a v cut dress with a long flowing skirt that puffed out around her thighs. It was lacy with fake diamonds sewn in between the pattern. The back had a mesh lacy opening where the top of her back was exposed.

Stepping out, Reena saw Anita Moreno holding a pearl and silver necklace out to her.

"Here you go, querida. This is my gift to you on this day," Anita put the necklace on Reena's neck.

"Thank you," Reena felt tears well up again.

"No llores, querida. Arruinarás tu maquillaje," Anita lightly scolded. (Don't cry, dear. You'll ruin your makeup.)

"I know. I'm sorry."

"I'll be in the aisle watching," Anita left her alone.

Her team placed her tiara on her head and flipped the veil over her face.

They quickly ushered her out the door and into the hallway. She stood there alone while they slipped away to their seats to watch the ceremony.

Reena took a deep breath.

In front of those doors was the room where she was gonna get married. Her female Heroics teammates were all dressed in light grey dress and waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Lorenza was her Maid of Honor, and she had kept her company until she needed to be ready as well. Her male Heroics teammates were all dressed in light blue tuxes and waiting for her as well. Tech had offered to walk her down the aisle, but he ended up as Marcus's best man.

Since her family couldn't be there, she wanted to walk herself down the aisle. She wanted to give herself to Marcus by herself. This was her choice, and this was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to be with him throughout all the ups and downs of life. She wanted to be strong enough to stand by his side.

When she knew she had stalled enough, she opened the doors church. The walkway was a wooden floor in between the sets of pews. There were carnation bouquets tied at the ends.

She slowly walked forwards with her carnations in her hand. It was the same color as the one Marcus gave her on their first date.

She saw her handsome future husband standing at the end of the walk. He was in a dark blue suit with his black square glasses on his face. He was shuffling a bit as she walked over to him.

He walked up to her and held out his arm to her. She took it, and he walked her up to the pastor.

She turned to him, and he gently flipped her veil over her head.
