Now with 6 months of no filming, Jaemin and I finally have time to go to America to finish planning our wedding. Out of the NCT members, we invited NCT DREAM and NCT 127. It's because these two units have the members who Jaemin and I are closest with. With 7 members in Dream and 9 members in 127, it already feels like too many people. Jaemin will also be inviting a couple childhood friends and his parents. I already met Jaemin's parents, and now I finally see where Jaemin gets his visuals from. His parents are just as handsome and beautiful as Jaemin. I was really shocked when I saw them at first. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Now, Jaemin and I are in my little hometown in Northeastern Nevada, at my old church where I used to attend, finishing the planning of our wedding with my friends and my parents. I have this huge poster paper with a spider web brainstorm of how I want my wedding to go. I for sure want My Everything sang by Taeil, Renjun, and Xiaojun. I had to invite Xiaojun because he's an essential member in that song. We're all sitting in the fellowship hall, planning it all out. Jaemin is making contributions as well. He knows what he wants for his perfect wedding. It just all comes down to making an agreement on it.

*A Week Later | The Wedding*
The day has come, after a whole week of planning out our wedding, Jaemin and I are ready to get married. For this wedding, I invited my high school friends, my cousins, and my family. I chose the perfect wedding dress. This is the dress I chose:

I have my hair similar to the model in the above photo. My makeup was done by my cousin, Coni, who is a very talented artist all on her own. Once everything was all finished and ready, I will be given away by my dad.
"You know, it took me some time to accept that Jaemin kid, but now I know. He truly cares for you, and he's more than just any Korean celebrity to you. He proves to be more than that to you." Dad said.
"Yeah. Thanks for finally understanding." I said.
"It's the least I can do." Dad said.
My dad walks me about halfway down the aisle, then hands me off to Jaemin, where we walk the rest of the way down. We stand under the arch decorated with live flowers, Taeil, Renjun, and Xiaojun sang My Everything, our church pianist playing the instrumental, as I made my walk into the sanctuary and up to this point, when Jaemin and I are about to say our vows to each other.

The pastor marrying us is my childhood pastor from this same church. The pastor begins with a prayer, then says,
"From this place, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, we take ourselves out of our usual routines of daily living to witness a unique moment in the lives of Raeshel Miller and Jaemin Na. Today, they join their lives in the union of marriage." He pauses for a moment, then continues, "To all their guests, they are happy to share this moment with you. They have known most of you for many years. You watched them grow up, you went to school with them, or you worked with them. Because you are the ones who have supported them and known them so well, it is only fitting that you are the ones to share this once-in-a-lifetime moment with them. Raeshel and Jaemin are pleased to have their parents in the front row, close to them for the ceremony. Raeshel thanks her mother for providing her with every opportunity possible and being the best mother anyone could ask for. Jaemin appreciates all the love and support his parents gave him over the years. And so it is that Raeshel and Jaemin present themselves to be married today, surrounded by the people they love the most."

Then, the pastor continues on to the next segment. This segment is where he begins to officiate the wedding. There is also a Korean translator for Jaemin's family members and friends who are attending. It makes the ceremony twice as long, but it's okay. The pastor continues on to officiating the wedding,
"As Raeshel and Jaemin prepared for the ceremony part of this wedding celebration, they reflected on what it is that they love about each other. And this was was the easiest part of planning this wedding!" This makes the audience laugh.
"Now, Jaemin. Raeshel has prepared a few words for you. Please, say your vows to Jaemin." The pastor said.
"Okay. Na Jaemin. You were just an idol to me in the beginning. The one of many who hung up on my walls in the form of a poster, but then I went to Europe. I still have Jaehyun to thank, for making our relationship even possible. We first met in the city of love, in Paris. From that day, I knew you'd be the love of my life. We had our first date. You made me laugh, and I thought that was the most attractive thing in the world. I love you for that. I promise to love you for life." I said.
"Jaemin, now you." The pastor said.
Jaemin said all his vows in Korean. I understand some bits, but I relied on the translator for most of it.

When we finished stating our vows to each other, my little nephew brings our rings to us. The pastor blesses the rings, stating that these rings are a symbol of our love. Then, we promise each other a few more vows, then afterwards, we slide the rings onto each other's fingers. Finally, the pastor says,
"You may seal your vows with a kiss."
Jaemin doesn't even need the translator because he heard the word "kiss" and knows what it means. He dips me romantically and starts kissing me more passionately and romantically than he ever has before. With that, Jaemin and I are now married.
