Emilio has rented an entire resort for our wedding. And I'm in love with it.
It has a beautiful sea-view and it has a park, spa for the adults and entertainment for the kids. We have invited hundreds of people that I don't even know, but that's just part of our culture.
Currently there are two people in my room doing my hair and makeup. It's really hard for me to sit still right now, surprisingly I'm not nervous at all because we're already married. This is pretty much just for our family and so that I can wear a wedding dress at least once.
"Alright we're done.", one of the women said.
"Okay, thank you. So you'll be in your rooms?", they both nod to that.
"I'll call you if something happens.", in that moment someone knocks at the door.
"Come in.", I see three heads popping in.
"Oh my god, you guys. You're early.", I jump up and run towards them.
"Oh sweetie you look... beautiful. I've brought you something.", my mom pulls out a little hair clip.
"Your something old at your wedding.", aw mom, you're literally the best.
"Thank you, mom.", I sob.
"Now, it's my turn.", Aria says
"Hi, ma.", I hug her as well. Since Aria likes to be called mom and I call my mom 'mom', so I decided to call her 'ma' and she loved it.
"Who would've thought I'd be seeing you in a wedding dress.", she sobs and wipes her tear away.
"Oh god, you're ruining my makeup!", Ivy whines.
"Oh sweetie.", I stumble towards her and pull her into a hug.
"Now now, let's get you dressed.", mom brushes my arm and walks past me.

The four of us have a cup tea and chatter when someone knocks and comes in.
"Hey, you three.", I get up and hug my dad, Theo and Cassio.
"You look, beautiful. My daughter's getting married.", a tear rolls down dad's face.
"I've brought something for you.", Cassio pulls out a box.
"It's another family heirloom. I've kept this one a secret though and I've waited for the right one to pass it on. This is yours, take great care of our family, Eliana.", he hands me the box. I carefully open it and... it's a beautiful golden necklace.
"I will do that, thank you for entrusting me with this.", I hug him.
"Could put this necklace on for me?"
"Of course.", he says in a deep voice.

"Are you nervous?", dad looks at me with his gentle eyes. He is so sweet. His eyes are the eyes of a puppy, honest, trusting and most of all truthful.
"No, not anymore. I have the greatest family and the best husband, who's waiting for me just down the aisle.
"You've grown up so much. You're a grown woman with an university degree. I'm a very proud dad. I have two amazing children. My life couldn't be better at this point.", his eyes are filling up with tears.
"Dad one more word and my makeup is ruined, so you better stop talking.", I need to pull myself together.
"Okay, here we go."
