HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 44

Seungcheol

The priest arrives at the altar and that's when the wedding party follows. Joshua enters and everyone started clapping for him, he looked nervous. Soon the best man and groomsmen enter followed by Joshua. I was standing beside Jeonghan and Hyun; they were smiling at Joshua.

It was the turn of the maid of honor to enter, and there she entered holding a bouquet. When I looked at her, I couldn't hear the music which was being played, my eyes were focused on her. The way she was walking and smiling but looking nervous while holding the bouquet in her hands. She looked beautiful, the flower petals on her hair made her look prettier. There was something in the way she looks when she wears gowns, just something I can't describe in words.

"She's so pretty" I heard Hyun's voice although it came out like almost like a whisper. I turned to look at him, his eyes were focused on Shasha, the look on his face made me rethink what he told me earlier.

After Shasha went with Iseukie, I was left with Hyun. "hey" he called me out, and I looked at him "Yes?"

"If you can't keep her happy, I can keep her happy" I was telling myself that maybe whatever I am thinking is not true and he was possibly not talking about Shasha, but before I could ask him what he is talking about he already left.

Soon the bridesmaids entered then the ring bearer, "these are my cousin's kids" Jeonghan told me, I smiled at him "they are adorable" the baby boy looked like he was around six years, and he was walking cutely, then the flower girl entered scattering the flower petals and there Soobin entered just after her, escorted by her dad. She was holding her dad's arm tightly, her veil hid her face but I could tell she was nervous. I looked at Joshua when Soobin was walking toward him. I felt happy, looking at them. Joshua was wiping his tears, he was crying. Soobin walked closer to him. Joshua came down two steps and took her hand from his dad, my eyes found Shasha crying, she was trying to hold back her tears but failed. I want them to be her happy tears.

Joshua takes her hand and walked toward the priest and smiled.

Everyone rises as the priest reads a select passage from one of the gospels from the four evangelists Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. While gospel reading selections tend to be based on the liturgical calendar, the priest opt to read a passage on marriage or love. The congregation remains standing until the gospel is finished.

Guests are seated while the priest interprets the gospel. The priest gives a speech about marriage and says a little bit about the couple's union. I looked at Jeonghan he was smiling, and trying to wipe away the tears, I held his shoulder and smiled at him, "yah, you don't cry easily"

"I'm just happy" he smiled at me. We turned to look at Soobin and Joshua.

"Life is long. After many days of expectancy, the two people will become a couple here today. As the lyric in a song love comes as fast as a tornado, and marriage is like the warm breeze in spring; it means new life... it means hope. Now the new couple is standing beside me. They'll get rid of the flashiness of love and spend the rest of their lives together with hope. Joshua Hong, do you take Ms. Yoon Soobin to be your wedded wife and take care of her for the rest of her life?"
"I do"

"Yoon Soobin, do you take Joshua Hong to be your wedded husband, love him and look after him all your life?
"I do"

Joshua had the brightest smile on his face and the way he was looking at her with eyes full of love, explained how much he loved Soobin.

This is where the ring exchange happens. The priest blessed the wedding rings with a prayer and a sprinkling of holy water. Then, Joshua slid the ring on Soobin's finger and she did the same. The crowd started cheering and I knew what was the next thing, it was the crowd's favourite.

The priest tells the groom to kiss the bride, this symbolizes you are now officially married.

"Now you may kiss the bride"

Joshua lifts the veil before the kiss, I could see Soobin smiling and looking down. After a second, Joshua pulled her into a kiss and the whole crowd cheered.

The priest gives the final blessing to them and then both walk downed the aisle in reverse order of which they came in. The flower girl sprinkled petals as they walk down the aisle.

After they walked down and reached the platform, it was time for Soobin to throw her bouquet and all the single girls and boys were standing. Jeonghan just shoved me there and left me alone. My eyes found Shasha talking with Isuekie, she was smiling and the smile looked so pretty on her face.

"I'm throwing the bouquet" I heard Soobin's voice and everyone was excited. Everyone counted to three and Soobin threw the bouquet.

I saw the bouquet high up in the air, and I was looking at the bouquet and it was falling towards me, in a blink, the bouquet was in my hand, I was holding the Soobin's wedding bouquet which she threw.

I was surprised, everyone was looking at me. I was clueless about what to do next.

"CHOI SEUNGCHEOL CONGRATULATIONS" I heard Joshua's voice and saw everyone cheering for me. I smiled, not knowing what to do and then when I saw Shasha's eyes looking at me. She looked surprised, is this what you call fate? For a second I felt it was just us and I could run to her and tell her, we are getting married next and I caught the bouquet.

She was smiling at me, I felt I could see my whole life right now and here then I felt a hand on my shoulder and a side hug. I looked at him, it was Jeonghan. "congratulations" I smiled at him.

My eyes were still fixed on how Shasha was smiling at Iseukie and then both coming towards us. I could see her take little steps towards us. "Let's go meet up with everyone and enjoy the wedding party" I nodded, "she's coming" he said and I looked at him, "huh?"

"my sister and your future wife is coming towards us" and he smiled at her fondly.

Soon she was standing in front of me, with a smile on her face. She looked so precious.

Author's Note:

How was the wedding? It was just the wedding, more is coming. Hope you enjoy the wedding party. I tried adding and I had to do the research a lot about the wedding, hope you liked this chapter. While writing this I was literally wishing to attend one wedding. I just felt so love while writing. And well, Hyun.... Let's see what happens next and why would he say that to cheol.

Sorry, for this short chapter, I actually wanted to write next parts in shasha'a pov and adding in one chapter I thought it would be so messed up.

Happy reading :)
