A new door/EncantoFanfic

Chapter 21

Marivita's POV
(Dolores' wedding)

The wedding is midday, but we all decided last night we would go earlier to help set up.

The casita is decorated with all sorts of flowers. Pepa is having a waterfall of emotions, from crying to anger, the wedding hasn't even started.

"Ah Marivita." Abuela Alma says greating us at the door,  she's begun to warm up to me. "Can you put all those ribbons up."

She points at a box filled to the brim with different colours. I nod.
I arrange them around the inside railings. Ma is helping Julieta with the food. I finish up and head to find Camilo again, who went off to help someone.
I'm surprised to find him in his room. I see him standing in-front of one of his countless mirrors trying to tie a tie. I chuckle and walk over to him.
I didn't realise how stressed he looks.
"You all good champ?" I say.
A tear appears in the corner of his eye.

I wrap my arms around him and lean my chin on the side of his arm. I've learned he loves to be hugged.

"I-I can't believe she's getting married." He sniffs, somehow Camilo gets his hand stuck in the knot. "And I accidentally untied this and can't redo it."

He almost breaks down. I can't help but laugh.

"Come here." I say.
I walk in-front of him and pull him towards me. I slowly undo the mess he's made and tie is up correctly and give him a hug.

He whips his eyes and pulls away from me.
"I got this." He says proudly, trying to act tougher.
I fix his collar so he won't look like a vampire. He scoops up his chameleon and puts him on his shoulder.

"Te ves caliente" I say.
He smiles at me sheepishly. "Sì lo se."
"Shut up." I say pushing his shoulder.

He spins around me and heads out the door, I follow after him trying to catch up. I loose sight of him again in the growing crowd. I walk over to the kitchen area and find Mirabel there.

She smiles and waves me over. Everyone is in a cheery mood.
Daniela is next to her linked arms with Diego. Who goes out of his way to look annoyed at the sight of me. I'm not pleased to see him ether.

"Hi Mirabel." I say giving her a hug.
"Love that dress. Is it the one Camilo helped you make." She says. "Oh, come on. I gotta give Dolores this."
She has a small box.
She ushers me away to a seperate room. Dolores is there, sitting down in a wedding dress. Two girls are around her fixing up her hair and make up. All in matching dresses to Mirabel's, brides maids.

Dolores has her hair down with a vail over her eyes. Everyone looks beautiful today.
I smile at her.
"Your brother is already in tears." I chuckle.
She grins, "yeah I could hear, he's coming now."

He walks though the door with his head down counting stuff in a basket.
He looks ups and drops it, he hadn't realised Dolores would be in here.
He silently walks over and stands in-front of Dolores. I can hear him sniffle
She gives him a sympathetic look.

"It's ok." She says comforting him.
"Are you crying again?" Mirabel says.
"No." He says turning to look at us, tears running down his face. "I got dirt in my eye."

We all burst into laughter and Dolores hugs Camilo.

"Are you going to stop talking to me?" He says, his lip quivering. "Now you have a replacement."
"Of course not. I would never." Dolores says.
"I love you." He sniffles.
"I love you too." Dolores smiles.

Now Mirabel is getting teary. She jumps in and joins the hug.
"I love you guys too." She says.

What a moment.

Camilo says goodbye and walks over to me.
Me and Camilo walk out of the room, leaving Dolores and the brides maids to be. Isabela passes us to go into the room, also with a bridesmaid dress.

We walk to the main area of the casita. Rows of church pews are set up and people are already sitting. The ceremony is soon to start.

I see Pepa and take a seat next to her, Camilo sits the other side of me. Pepa is with Mariano's madre, I don't even know the woman's name.
Julieta, Antonio and everyone else all sit on the same pew, abuela Alma at the end.
Mirabel, Isabela and Luisa however are all bridesmaids.

The opening song starts and the ceremony begins.
Antonio walks down the isle as a page boy followed after a young girl I don't recognise but Camilo gives her a high 5 as she passes.

We all stand and watch Dolores walk down the isle, Camilo is in tears again, so as Pepa. It's raining but no one seems to mind.

Felíx looks so proud as he stands next to the grooms.

"Do you, Mariano Guzmán take Dolores Madrigal to be your esposa (wife), till death do you part?" The priest says.
"I do." Mariano sobs whipping away tears.
"Do you, Delores Madrigal take Mariano to be your esposo (husband), till death do you part?" He repeats.
"I do." Dolores smiles.
"You may now kiss the bride." He says.

Everyone cheers as they kiss, it's pouring with rain now but at least it's not a hurricane.

We all leave our seats to go talk to other and dance around. Abuela gets me to clear all the chairs away, which takes less then a second.

An older man places a hand on my shoulder, scaring me slightly. He looks a like Felíx but a couple years older.

"Alroy," he says holding out a hand.
"Hola," I say, shaking his hand, "Mari."
He smiles. "Mucho gusto (nice to meet you)."
"Can I help you?" I say politely.
"Just thought I should make myself known. I'm Felíx's brother." He says.
"Neat." I say, "figures, you too look alike... same smile."
"That's a new one." He grins.

Camilo comes up behind me and puts an arm around my waist.
"Hola tío." Camilo says.
"Ah, I knew this was the novia (girlfriend)." Alroy says. "You couldn't have found a prettier one."
I feel myself blush as Camilo chuckles.
"How'd you pull her?" Alroy says.
"All it took was a black eye from her." Camilo says.
"So she can fight... good girl." Alroy says respectively.

He pulls Camilo close to him and whispers in his ear, "Dit is een echte vondst, laat haar niet gaan (this one is a real find, don't let her go)"
"I know Dutch." I frown.
"Real find." Alroy repeats walking away.

"He's nice." I say looking to Camilo.
"Mhm," he says loosing his smile, "Come on, I don't want you to meet any of my cousins."
"Por qué? (Why)" I say. "Doesn't matter, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Come find me." He says.

I come back from the bathroom and see Mirabel talking with Daniela, Diego and who I think is Camilo. Although he now has a maroon ruana on and his back is faced to me.
I walk over to them and put an arm on Camilo's should. Mirabel looks at me funny and I glance over. I jump back in shock.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" I gasp shaking my arm.
He's anyone but Camilo.
He looks me up and down, "hey sexy."
