And so, after many trials and problems, fights and clashes, the day everyone was hoping for, finally came. The wedding day, the most awaited event in the lovers' life, was no longer a dream. The wait was over and preparations were being held everywhere. The couple decided that they wanted to have a very simple wedding ceremony and so everyone agreed.
The setting was quite magical, if so to speak.
A very classy white table with little decorations around that complimented the setup. A large table was set and chairs alongside, considering the minority that will be attending. The outside was already playing a very important part. Flowers and plants, a shy sun, white clouds and happy faces all around. The vibes were lovely and so was the whole event.Moving on, Hünkar, the lovely bride, chose to wear a midi soft purple coloured dress with marble white Mary Jane heels, a silver brooch and a silver watch. Her hair style consisted in a low bun and her makeup was very simple according to the simplicity of the occasion. She was looking stunning!
The bride was ready to go downstairs while her son waited for her with great enthusiasm. The bride came downstairs with her angelic wedding attire and her beautiful bridesmaids: Züleyha, Gülten and Fadik. They escorted her downstairs and gave her to Demir. He held his mother's hand and the girls left. He then proceeded to give her his wedding gift.
Demir: [took out a small box from his pocket.] Here, my wedding gift.
Hünkar: [takes it.] Aaa, it wasn't really necessary you know.
Demir: [laughs softly.] But you know me..
[looks at her.] I wanted to be the first one, so there you have.
Hünkar: [smiles.] Oh, I see!
[opens the little box and sees a gold bracelet with her initials.] Ohh Demir, this is so precious!
Demir: I really hope you like it. I wasn't sure if you were going to like it, it's nothing extra. But I gave it a try.
Hünkar: [looks at him.] Demir, this is absolutely dazzling. I loved it.
Demir: [takes her by the hand.] Before heading out, I wanted to say something.
[looks at her.] Today, I am giving you away to another man. The man you love. It is difficult but am trying my best to cope with it. [laughs.]
I wanted you to know that I am very happy to see you this happy, I would die for you to smile like this every minute of your life. You deserve the world mum and much more. Mum, you hold the most special place in my heart. You have been my main support since day one and will remain so. The queen of my heart.
[smiles.] I know he loves you and he will take good care of you but if anything happens I want you to know that this mansion's door will always be open for you, no matter what. And if he ever hurts, I will not spare his life. [makes a serious face.] I mean it!
Hünkar: [gets teary eyed.] My son!
[kisses his cheek.] I will forever be in your heart, no matter where I am.
[smiles.] I know is difficult for you to watch me leave but it's more difficult for me to leave you behind. But promise me, you will be a good boy, a loving husband and an amazing father. Do not let me down ever!
Demir: [kisses her hands.] I promise, Hünkar Sultan!
[extends his arm.] Shall we?
Hünkar: [holds his arm.] Yes.And finally, the bride went out into the garden of the mansion holding the arm of her beloved son. All the guests stood up and looked in amazement at the beautiful Hünkar.
Meanwhile, Hünkar's gaze only sought the groom, Ali Rahmet, who was extremely impatient to complete this stage of his life with his eternal love.
Demir escorted her to the chair where Fekeli was waiting for her. And the bridesmaids accompanying them from behind while the guests were throwing flower petals. Her son handed her to Fekeli and then he made his way to his place at the guest table.
Fekeli: [takes her hand.] Please take a seat.
Hünkar: [took her seat next to him.] Thanks.
Fekeli: [sits and gets closer to her.] Good luck!
Hünkar: [smirks.] You need it more.
Fekeli: [smiles.] I sure do.The judge and the two witnesses, Saniye and Çetin, were present at the bride and groom's table. And everything was set, so it was time to the start the wedding ceremony. The judge asks for permission to start and his permission is granted.
Judge: [starts off.] Today, we are gathered to witness the marriage ceremony of our beloved couple. The couple who have fought against everything that came their way and still never gave up on their pure love. Today we celebrate their victory, the victory of love over anything else.
[proceeds to ask.] So, without further ado.
Mr. Ali Rahmet Fekeli, do you accept Mrs. Hünkar Yaman as your legitimate wife, to be her support system and life partner, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till death do us apart?
Fekeli: [smiles widely.] I do!
Judge: [asks again.] Do you accept?
Fekeli: [smiles even more.] I do!
Judge: [asks one last time.] Do you accept?
Fekeli: [says happily and almost screaming.]
I DO!
Everyone: [claps and whistles.]
Judge: [asks the bride.] Mrs. Hünkar Yaman, do you accept Mr. Ali Rahmet Fekeli to be your legitimate husband, to be his support system and life partner, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till death do us apart?
Hünkar: [shies away.] I do!
Judge: [asks again.] Do you accept?
Hünkar: [smiles.] I do!
Judge: [asks one last time.] Do you accept?
Hünkar: [smiles and says loudly.] I DO!
Everyone: [claps and whistles.]
Judge: [asks the witnesses.] Do you witness this marriage?
Saniye: I do.
Çetin: I do.
Judge: Taking in consideration the witnesses approval and the couple's agreement, I declare you both husband & wife. Congratulations!The bride and groom along with the witnesses signed the wedding contract and then the judge placed his seal and handed them their marriage certificate. The bride and groom hug each other.
Fekeli: [while hugging her.] I knew this day would come.
Hünkar: [holds him tightly and whispers.] We made it my love, we made it.
Fekeli: [holds her.] Yes, we made it.
Hünkar: [stops hugging him and looks at him with teary eyes.] I still can't believe it.
Fekeli: [holds her face.] It seems like a dream.
Hünkar: [smiles.] But it isn't!
Fekeli: It isn't. [proceeds to kiss her.]
Hünkar: [kisses him back.]The music started to play and everyone came to the dance floor including the bride and groom. The guests (their family & loved ones) congratulated them and gave them their blessings. Everyone seemed to be part of a fairy tale. And everything seemed so real to be true. But it was true! They were finally married.
The bride and groom before leaving, requested everyone to come and take a family photo. And so everyone, including the mansions workers, gathered to take the photo. A photograph that showed the support of their people and the love they all had for each other.
The bride and groom sat on their new car, a grey Ferrari "Daytona" with a plate on the backside that said: HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
And that's how they parted for their journey together as husband and wife, after fighting years of oppression to finally come together in this blessed bond, forever and ever.I guess every story has it's ending, mine is this one. I believe in good and I believe that there's always a happy ending for everyone. Hünkar & Fekeli had their own happy ending too, as they deserved it. 💕
