"Oh my gosh, you look so gorgeous, I'm so happy for you," Monique says to her best friend, both women with glossy eyes.
"Thank you so much, oh my gosh I'm so nervous," she says nervously. "I can't believe this is happening," she says, her eyes tearing up.
"Bish, stop crying, this is the third time the make up artist had to redo your make up, you need to get waterproof makeup or you are going to scare the groom," Mo says using her hands to fan her eyes to stop the tears from flowing.
"I can't help it," she says looking up to the celling to stop the tears from rolling down.
"I hope you will be happy with Leonardo, you really deserve it," she says sincerely to her best friend.
"You're gonna make me cry again," she says fanning her eyes, making both girls laugh.
"I love you."
"I love you too," Mo says hugging her.

"Do you, Leonardo Bianchi take Vanessa Johnson to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, til death do you part?" The official asks.
"I do," Leonardo says looking Vanessa in the eyes, with nothing but love and adoration.
"Do you, Vanessa Johnson take Leonardo Bianchi to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, til death do you part?" The official asks.
"I do," Vanessa says, tears streaming down her cheeks. Lucky for her she had on waterproof make up or she would be looking like a hot mess on her wedding day with runny mascara.
"By the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife," the official says. "You may kiss your bride."
With permission granted, Leonardo passionately kisses his new wife
The two pull away as people cheer for joy.

The newlyweds had just announced that they were expecting, Evelyn shed a few tears whilst Mr and Mrs Johnson seemed pleased with the news, although they did not like that their daughter didn't save herself for after marriage.
The newlyweds took the dancefloor for their first dance as Luca fled the scene although it did not go unnoticed by Mo who had noticed he had been acting wierd all day. For the best man, he sure didn't seem very excited about the holy matrimony.
She grabs a bottle of wine and two glasses before going in the same direction he went out in.
"Wine?" she asks, taking a seat next to him on a rock in the gardens.
When he doesn't reply, she pours wine into both glasses anyway, handing one over to him. He gulps it all down, before taking the bottle from her, taking a huge gulp making Mo chuckle.
"It's a bitter sweet moment," he says after a moment of silence. "I'm loosing my twin but I can see his smile, he is definitely happier than ever."
"His happiness is important right?" She says looking at the side of his face. "And your brother being married isn't you loosing him, he will still be your brother. Besides, it was bound to happen sooner or later right."
"Well I would have preferred later," he says throwing his head back as he drank the wine.
"You know, it kinda sucks, I'm the oldest in the family yet my twin brother is married and is expecting. My younger sister has been married for so long and has given me a cute little niece with another on the way. And I'm just here, sleeping with different women everyday, with no idea of when I want to settle down. I'm the oldest yet I seem like the youngest. Do you know how many of my uncles and cousins have asked me when I will get married, I can't count them on my fingers and toes."
"Well you can change that, you have control over your life, there is someone out there for everyone including you," she says sincerely, turning to him.
"I don't know, at this point I don't even think I deserve someone, I'll die alone," he groans.
"Don't be dramatic, there's someone out there for you."
The two sat quietly for a while, Luca thinking about what she said before Mo turns to him breaking the silence.
"Let's go dance," Mo suggested
"No no, I don't dance,"he says drinking the rest of the wine.
"Come on, for me, pleeeeeaaasssseee," she persuaded, sticking out her bottom lip.
"Fine," he says rolling his eyes before getting up. He holds out his hand, lending Mo a hand, helping her get up and remove dirt from her silk covered bottom.
The two walk back into the building hand in hand without even realising it, although it didn't get past the over protective father, Hamberto and Evelyn.
Evelyn was so happy she could burst whilst Humberto wanted so badly to rip their hands apart, his daughter deserved better, so much better.
The two hit the dancefloor with the other bridesmaids and groomsmen. His arms going around her waist, hers around his neck as they moved in sync.
It was as if it was just the two of them as they looked into each others eyes.
"I didn't know you were quite the dancer," Mo says looking up at Luca.
"Well, there's a lot you don't know," he whispers, burying his head into the nape of her neck.
Before they knew it, married couples and others made their way to the dancefloor.
Monique looked over Luca's shoulder, seeing her mother pulling her unwilling father to the dancefloor.
She giggles to herself when her father rolls his eyes before wrapping his arms around her waist as they began to dance.
Her father starts of with a frown but within a few seconds a smile had broken out onto his face. The two laugh, stealing kisses from one another as they danced.
They looked so in love, as if they had no care in the world.
It was just the two of them enjoying each others company.
That's what she wanted, after twenty years of marriage it was as if they were still in the honeymoon phase.
Sure they had their ups and downs, but at the end of the day, they loved eachother no matter what.
Til death do them part.
