The Union

"I can't believe It's happening. I am finally getting married to the love of my life!"I squealed In happiness as I waited for my maid of honor.

William has everything I have ever wanted my man to have,he is a good example of a perfect gentleman and loving to a fault that I sometimes thank my stars for orchestrating our coming together.

I met Williams at a conference for young entrepreneurs organized by my favorite business couple, Mr and Mrs vladmir.
We were paired together for the activity in the seminar and that gave us a platform to connect and just like that we began a beautiful love story.

I took Williams home but my parents didn't approve of him because he was from a poor family. They tried all they could to separate us but Williams slowly and gradually won their hearts. After my parents approval, our wedding preparations was in top gear.

A sudden creak on the door jolted me away from my beautiful trip down the memory lane.

"Hey girl sorry I am late ,you know how vicious your dad can be when he starts with one of his days in politics story." Vivian, my best friend and maid of honor said".

Tilting my head in her direction, I laughed heartily and said, "Of course I know.  I don't even want to remember jare." I shrugged.

Vivian immediately dressed me up in my beautiful channel wedding gown with matching accessories.

"You look breathtaking. Williams is already waiting so let's go get you married girl." She said, smiling.

I smiled as she led me to our makeshift ballroom which my dad had built in order to have his only daughter's wedding.
As I walked down the aisle, I could not help but admire Williams from the corner of my eye.

"Oh my God! What an handsome sight to behold!" I exhale under my breath.

Dressed in a Mai Atafo grey tuxedo with is hair made into a Jerry curl and on his face the widest and beautiful smile I have ever seen.

My heart fluttered and the butterflies happily hosted a feast in my stomach as I walked up to him.  He linked my arms in his and spoke softly into my ears, "You look like a princess my love. I am so lucky to have you." I flashed him a smile like that of a child who was just offered sweets.

Few minutes later, the ceremony began. After several reading and admonitions from the Bible, the priest  pronounced us 'Husband and Wife'

"You mou may kiss your bride." The Priest declared after the joining and blessing.

The kiss we shared on the altar was beautiful and different compared to the ones we have shared. It reassured me of a life long filled with love.

After our kiss, the ceremony ended and people swarm in to greet and congratulate us.

At the reception, I silently wished it would move so quick as I could not wait to have Williams to my self. I was really anticipating our night together before we fly out for our honeymoon.

The reception ended and my dad's driver drove my husband and I to the hotel. After  confirming  our reservation,  we went straight to our room. It was a private suite my dad really went all out for me.

William and I kissed briefly before he excused himself so to go freshen up. I was busy with undressing myself when his phone chimed.

"Baby you have a message."  I called out to him in the bathroom.

"Read it and let me know what it's says."  He replied.

I picked up the phone and felt life rush out of me when I saw the contents of the message.
