FATE

95 - I Do

Lilly's POV

Today is my day, the best day of my life. I was seated in front of the  mirror, wearing a laced white robe as my make up was being done.

The rays from the sun, radiated directly into my room, cutting through the glass surface. It was indeed a bright morning.

My girlfriends were in baby blue robes, their hair and makeup was being done too.

After the makeup, we took some pictures. The camera men captured all the moments, then they also interviewed my maid of honor who was still in her robe. Nancy was glowing, looking chobby as well and she was starting to show.

With a huge grin, she chuckled and gave a nervous.  "We are happy for our baby girl. She's going to her husband's house. And I'm the maid of honour, so I'm happier." She laughed.

Finally, they all got dressed. I made a right choice of colour. My girls dazzled in the burgundy satin dress, with Crow neck and mid tigh slit. It had tiny straps that were tied behind and the back covered in net that matched their skin. My beautiful friend, Nancy wore the same dress only that hers was halter neck. They all held a Lilly flower each.  Their hair was styled and designed with accessories and I could not miss the burgundy lipstick they were wearing. They wore very expensive dangling earrings and tiny pendant necklaces.

After my hair was styled into a neat curly bun, with two strands at the front, they placed a huge crown on my head. Then my fashion stylist and my maid of honour helped me step into my stunning dress.

I smiled, inhaling sharply as I stared at myself in the mirror. I looked like a queen, a very beautiful, stunning queen. The dress melted my heart. It was a fitted dress with overskirt, decorated with stones. The top was covered in a glittering lace material, the cloth almost had a high neck.

Nancy helped me into my shoes and we took a few pictures.  Then I was interviewed.

"How are you feeling?"

Me? I feel ecstatic. I'm overwhelmed with different feelings but mostly joy.

"I'm feeling a lot of things right now. I feel nervous, I'm getting married I mean. But I'm beyond happy." I smiled heartily.

Then my mom came into the room, just as they were still doing some finishing touches on make up. Everything was more than perfect.

Mabel too followed. They were both wearing an expensive royal blue lace designed with silver sequence. They had jewelries on, and makeup too. Their gele was blue in colour having a touch of silver and gold

My mom gasped when she cast her eyes on me.

"Adam, mma m." She called, making me smile. Those pet names, I hadn't heard in a while.

"You look beautiful."

"I am"

She gave a smile, her eyes looking teary and a bit sad yet with glint in them.  "I'm going to miss you, I mean we are already used to not having you around, but this... Its different."

I nodded.  "Lilly I want you to know that you are going to start your own family. Marriage is not easy, whatever happens always love him, respect him, forgive him. And don't ever involve any third party in any issue. Always commicate with him, let him be your best friend. "

I inhaled. Then she took my hands, in hers rubbing it slowly and softly. "I love you, I'd always be there. God bless you, God bless your husband because of you. You will not cry in your marriage. You will never sorrow. You won't go through the things I went through. Your husband will love you and Cherish you like an egg. Your home is blessed, you'll enjoy your marriage. Lemuel will not hit you. Go to your home in peace, let God be the head of your home, in Jesus name. "
