Falling for you

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The door opened and everyone stood up to face Millie, who was dressed in a sheer strapless lace mermaid dress with a floral embroidery made from ivory and silver sequins gown with the skirt as semi sheer with an underlay of French lace. The sleeves were off the shoulder and as it went to the back, they were lace and were long and were sweeping the floor.

Her hair was parted in the middle and was pulled into a sleek bun and a diamond headpiece was placed on top of her head. Her neck was empty but her ears had enormous diamond earnings. Her makeup was kept pretty natural and neutral, therefore completing her bridal look.

She looked breathtaking and as Jaden's eyes fell on his bride, walking down the aisle, hand in hand with her father, he was happy. He felt excited to start his new chapter in his life and her smile looked so pure and innocent.

Ethan looked at her too and his reaction was completely opposite to that of Jaden's. Ethan was emotional seeing the love of his life walking down the aisle, looking like a real life princess for someone else. A tear escaped his face but he wiped it off and everyone sat down.

The priest welcomed everyone and they repeated after him. They exchanged their rings and the whole time, their eyes were on each other. They looked so happy with one another. Despite it being Jaden's second marriage, he still felt like it was his first.

"With the power vested in me, I pronounce you man and wife. Jaden, you may kiss your bride," the priest says and Jaden held Millie's face and kissed her passionately as everyone cheered for the newly married couple.

"Everyone, Mr. and Mrs. Traynor," Peter, Jaden's best man says as they walk down the aisle and everyone claps for them. Millie was smiling the whole time as everyone cheered for them.

She got changed into another off white, lace dress with a thigh high slit and a long trail with no sleeves but satin gloves. Her hair was down now and she looked breathtaking once again. They had some speeches and their first dance too.

"All of you are having fun right?" Millie asks walking up to her friends and they nod.

"You look beautiful Millie," Daniel says and Millie kisses his cheek, thanking him. She speaks to them for a while and goes to talk to Ethan, who was near the buffet, standing alone.

"Oh god! I'm starving," she says walking up to him and he smiles at her.

"Ethan, can you feed me. I can't," she says showing her hands that are in gloves and he nods. He feeds her some appetizers and they speak for a while.

"Ethan, look at that girl over there. She's one of Jaden's friends and I heard that she's single. She is pretty smart and beautiful too," she says pointing at a red haired woman looking beautiful. As if on cue the woman turned around and smiled at them. She was indeed very gorgeous.

"She's a marine biologist and she's smart like you," she says looking at him but she didn't know that Ethan didn't want someone start or someone like him. He wanted someone like Millie, hell he wanted her for himself.

"No Millie, I think I'm good," he says bringing another bite to Millie's mouth but instead of opening it up, she shut it and she stares at him.

"Come on Ethan. You and Zoe have been divorced for 4 months and I think you need to move on," she says and he sighs.

"No Millie, it's not about Zoe. It's just something from my past and I'm not over it. I don't think I ever will be. I want to wait for a while," he says and she nods, opening her mouth and he feeds her.

Just as she did that, Jaden pulled Millie away to make her meet his big clients and Ethan got sad immediately because he felt like Millie was being taken away from him. He knew that he was being selfish but he could do nothing.

"Millie!" David Hugh says walking up to her and gives her a big hug.

"You looked and do look beautiful," he says and Millie smiles.

"Thank you so much David and I'm glad you could make it to our wedding," she says and David waves his hand.

"Of course I would attend your wedding. It's so rare to find someone so honest and pure," he says and Millie blushes. David seemed interested in only talking to Millie, so Jaden stopped trying to get in and decided to talk to others.

"Millie, that man who was feeding you. Who is he?" he asks and Millie looks at Ethan.

"That's Ethan, my neighbour and a very close friend of mine," she says and he nods.

"He seemed to be in love with you," he says and Millie laughs.

"Come on David. I was the one who loved him but he never did. But that's all in the past now," she says and he nods.

"Everything seems to be in the likes of Jaden. Did you not get a saying in your wedding?" he asks and Millie sighs.

"You know David, this wedding was entirely designed and organized by Jaden himself so no I didn't have a say in this but it's alright," she says taking a sip of her champagne and David takes a sip of his too.

"Do not settle for anything less than you deserve Millie," he says and she nods. Millie truly believed that Jaden was the best for her but she didn't know what the future held for her.

They had their first father-daughter dance and then their first dance as a married couple. They looked like a prince and a princess under those lights, in their matching outfits and they seemed like they were in heaven.

"It's time to throw the bouquet guys!" Millie says and all the single women or the ones who aren't married line up and she swings it in the air and it hands in June's hands. Millie screams and hugs June who looked so happy that she caught it.

"You know what June? There couldn't be a better time to ask you this. So here it goes. June? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on this planet?" Henry asks going on his knee and holds out a diamond ring for her.

"Yes!" she says and Millie couldn't believe it. Two of her best friends got engaged at her wedding and she couldn't be happier.

"Wait, you were carrying a ring all this time?" June asks and Henry nods to which they all laughed.

"I am so happy for you guys. Everyone, give it up for June and Henry!" Millie says and hugs the both of them. Today was Millie's one of the best days of her life.
