Their lips immediately parted and they turned around in shock and recognized the person who entered.
They saw the sadness in Karen's eyes, while her mouth was hanging open and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"W-what is the meaning of this...
This is it! Karena tried not to let her tear fall down from her eyes as she stared back at the mirror. She should be happy because today is her wedding day but she just can't stop being emotional right now.
As she looked herself in the mirror, she couldn't stop smiling. Her wedding gown wrapped her body perfectly. She laughed a little as she remembered how Tim argue with his mom about the gown.
Tim's mother wants her gown to be blackless to show her sexiness and she even said that I should be the most beautiful and sexy woman on our wedding day.
Karen just shook her head and took a deep breath before leaving in front of the mirror.
Their wedding preparations took a month. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law insisted that it will be a grand wedding and everything went settled.
"Are you ready?"
She turned to the ajar door of her room and her mother entered.
"You look so beautiful Karen."
Her mother said in amazement.
"Thank you mom."
He said with a smile.
"Tim must be stiffened once he saw you."
Her mother said and they both laughed.
_______________
Karen couldn't help but be nervous as she looked at the person she would promise for life at the other end of the church.
That's how Karen felt as she moved a step closer to Tim. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a black ribbon and black shoes.
Tim winked at her when she looked at him. Suddenly, her heart beat faster. He's always attractive and handsome.
"Take care of our daughter Tim."
She looked at her father who escorted her and was a little tearful. She doesn't want to be emotional but she can't help it.
"Don't worry sir, I will."
Tim answered as he took her hand and kissed it. Her father nodded and smiled.
"This is it Kar." Tim mumbled in her ear as they walked towards the altar. Her insides churned in excitement.
Karen felt like she was going to pee while looking at her husband. He is about to utter his wedding vow, for her, more than the I do's and exchanging of rings, it is the most awaited part of the ceremony.
He smiled at her as raised the microphone and as Tim started to speak in front of her, she couldn't stop crying. He was serious while staring into her eyes.
"You love me in love and complete me in ways I never knew possible. From this day forth, I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support."
She nodded in recognition.
"How lucky am I to call you mine? Your love and trust makes me a better person. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything. I'm proud to call you my wife."
She smiled as he said it.
"I promise that from this day onwards, I would always think of how'd you feel before doing anything. I promise to love you and take care of you and our future kids."
His words send thousands tingles in her heart.
"You are my dream come true Kar, and I can't wait for the reality we get to build together."
Tim finished utter about his vow to her and it's her turn.
Karen couldn't stop sobbing at the last thing he said. It was tears of joy and many more.
She calmed herself before speaking.
"Today I say, "I do" but to me that means, "I will." I will take your hand and stand by your side in the good and the bad. I dedicate myself to your happiness, success, and smile. I will love you forever. Tim I promise to be your honest, faithful, and loving wife for the rest of my days. I pledge to honor you, love you, and cherish you as my husband today and every day."
He crossed their distance and hugged her tightly. Tim knows that this is just the beginning of their lifetime bliss. He slowly removed the veil covering her face.

Tim gave her a quick kiss on the lips right away while everyone's cheering them.
Their wedding portrait was a beautiful one. Sophie was in the middle of them and it was a picture of a happy family.
Karen's long-time wish has finally come true that Tim will also love her for real. Despite many trials that came to them, they overcame them all.
Their first marriage was not good, but in the end, they were still the chosen ones destined for each other and now together they will face the trials that will come to them but as long as they are together, they can fight all that.
********
We immediately went to the wedding reception after the church. Many relatives from my side of the family, Tim's side went and also friends.
The venue is very beautiful and really grand. I smiled when I saw John with Alice because I invited them both to my wedding without the knowledge of Tim.
John even extended one month just to be able to attend my wedding and tomorrow he will be going home to the states.
As we approached them, Tim's face was wrinkled and he was obviously surprised why Alice was here.
"What are you doing here?"
Tim asked Alice seriously.
Alice raised an eyebrow at him then smiled.
"Aren't you informed?"
Alice said and rolled her eyeballs.
"Karen invited me and we are friends now."
Alice said happily and Tim frowned even more.
Tim looked at me and sighed.
Sophie went with her grandfather and grandmother.
"Hey congratulations Rena, best wishes to both of you."
John smiled at me.
I heard Tim clear his throat next to me.
"Did you invite him too?"
He mumbled in my ear so I laughed a little at his reaction.
"Why not? John is my friend."
Tim could do nothing but just nod.
"I accept that you are not for me Rena and to you bro I hope you take care of her."
