Serendipity (Thalassophile)

Sixty-eight

"Bud, seriously, don't overthink. Your bride will never ditch you. That, I can assure of."

It was Vaughn who spoke for the nth time this day-on their wedding to be exact. Honestly, Dylan never felt this nervous in his whole life. And yes, he's overthinking. Inaamin naman nya. Ganoon nya kamahal si Krislene. Thinking that his Bride will back out. Though he knew that his Queen would never, ever do that, but here he is, sweating bullets because of too much thinking.

"Bud." Vincien tapped his shoulder and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Alam mo na ang pakiramdam ko noong araw ng kasal ko sa pinakamamahal ko? Inasar nyo pa ako. Oh ano pakiramdam?"

Dylan looked at Vincien flatly. "Bud, ang kailangan ko lakas ng loob. Hindi pang-aasar mo."

Then suddenly, Vaughn laughed, "Man up Kingsley, will you? Baka nakakalimutan mo kung gaano ka kamahal ng kapatid ko?"

"I know." He said then blew a loud breath. "But, why do we need to cut communication for three days huh? Ang alam kong wedding tradition hindi lang pwede magkita 24 hours before the wedding!" Reklamo nya kaya't napatawa nalang sila Vincien at Vaughn, ang dalawang Best man nya—or man of honor—since both of them are married.

His reason for getting them as best men was, these two are big part of their lives. Honestly, he wanted to include his Brother and Marco but they declined saying that it was meant for the two only. It was meant for them in a sense that, ito ang dalawang taong malaki ang naging papel sa buhay nila ni Krislene.

"It was the girl's idea. Para naman daw ma-miss nyo ang isa't-isa ng todo." Natatawang sagot ni Vaughn sa kanya.

"Seriously, stop overthinking Kingsley! Sisiputin ka ni Krislene okay? Sa inyong dalawa, sya yata ang inlove na inlove sayo." Vincien said.

"You're right but maybe not really." Dylan said as smile crept into his lips. "Because between the both of us, mas ako ang inlove na inlove sa kanya."

Yes. He's head over heels with his beloved Queen. Krislene is his life. And without her, life, for him, would be meaningless and empty.

Krislene is the anchor of his life. He may got it all wrong at some point in his life but when he got the opportunity to correct his mistakes, there was never a day, hours, minutes, or even a second that he made her feel that she's a second choice or second place in his life. Loving oneself is given, but Krislene became his priority. And he promised to himself that he will love her til the end of time.

Dylan was so lost in that thought when he heard Tiffany's voice echoed on the Church hall.

Yep! Their wedding will be held in a Church.

At first he thought that Krislene wanted to have a beach wedding, and we all know why. But he was surprised that she wanted a Church wedding. She said it's the most sacred place to hold their wedding. Once in a lifetime lang din ito kumbaga. But of course, the reception would be at a resort.

"Okay people! The Bride is here. We'll start the wedding in a few minutes."

And there, upon hearing what Tiffany said, he felt excited but at the same time nervous. Heck! He has mixed-emotions right now. His heart is literally hammering inside his chest.

Finally! My Bride is here!

"You okay Krislene?"

Krislene took a deep breath and smiled at her Sister. "Yes Ate K. Kinakabahan lang na excited."

"Kinakabahan dahil ikakasal ka na kay Dylan?" Tanong ni Serein, ang isa sa matron of honor nya.
