"You make such a beautiful bride." Lisa's mother Chitthip commented as we both stood looking at my reflection in the mirror.
"Thank you." I sincerely replied to her, "For everything."
"Your mother would have been very proud of you today." Chitthip went on as she adjusted my veil.
"Oh how lovely!" Rosé exclaimed as she, along with the three other bridesmaids entered the room.
"You all look very beautiful." I said to them meaning every word as they looked gorgeous in their coral coloured dresses that flowed beautifully with each step they took.
"Lisa is surely going to need a medic nearby when she sees you walking down that aisle." Hyeri said to me as my cheeks heated.
"Your dress is stunning." Olivia commented as she slipped my feet into my very first pair of Jimmy Choo's bridal flats, a gift from her.
"I shouldn't boast." Talia said, "But as beautiful and elegant as my decorations look, they hold nothing on you."
Glancing at my reflection once more I realised that they were right. I did look beautiful. And for the first time ever, I felt beautiful. My dress made of lace at the top joined by a high waist full skirt that flowed easily with a razor back completed with tiny buttons from my mid back to my neck made me look simple yet elegant. My black hair was curled to perfection then clipped into a messy bun with strands of curls delicately held loosely around my face.
With my natural pregnancy glow and happiness my makeup added to the allure with a light pink gloss and artfully designed eyes which enhanced the grey colour. My veil was intricately designed around the edges with a similar lace pattern to the bodice as the long material was spread out around me.
"You appear to be missing one last thing my dear." Lisa's grandmother said while walking into the room.
Confused we all looked at each other as she and Chitthip shared a knowing smile. Opening a velvet box revealed a pair of stunning diamond earrings a gasp got stuck in my throat as I gazed at them.
"It's a family heirloom." She explained, "My mother-in-law gave them to me in 1953."
"On my wedding day it was given to me." Chitthip added in, smiling fondly, "And now we pass it on to you."
As she put the earrings onto me she went on, "And one day you may give it to your son's bride."
"You think it's a boy?" Rosé asked.
"A mother knows." Chitthip replied winking conspiratorially at me.
Not very long after, the wedding procession began. I took no notice of anything else as my eyes instantly connected with Lisa's. They shone with endless depths of love and happiness in that moment I was guaranteed that life could not have been better. In my short life so far I believed that I had been through it all. Now was my time for true happiness and it all lied within the one person standing gazing lovingly at me at the end of the aisle.
"You look like a dream." she whispered to me taking both my shaking hands into hers.
"You look very handsome." I told her shyly when I definitely wanted to say more. She wore a pair of pale grey slacks with a matching waistcoat and on the inside a cloud white shirt. As always she was groomed to perfection. The best men; Bambam, Jackson and Chanyeol all wore the same matching pale grey slacks and white shirts but opted for suspenders instead.
The ceremony passed by with us gazing at the other completely lost in our little world filled with love until it was time to say our vows.
"Lisa. I have loved you from the very beginning and I will do so until eternity. You showed me true happiness and love and care. You gave me a family and for that I would forever be grateful. I love you for who you are within you. Every moment that I had spent with you thus far have been very special and I look forward to this new chapter ahead. I promise to love you faithfully and unconditionally through sickness and in health, for richer or poorer and until death do us part. It was always you. It would forever be you, in this life and my next, Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban."
