-mateó-

I left her room

I never met the girl but she doesn't seem to be a burden

As I'm walking down the hallway her fathers figure comes into view getting closer and closer

We pass by each-other without a single glance or whisper

Shit that man is going to be my father in law

Gross

A look of disgust scrunched on my face at the meer thought

I open the back door of the venue to go onto the stand beside the priest

The Left side is my family and the right is hers. They look seconds away from killing each other, great

My father was furious when he found out that the woman I'm marrying is the daughter of the bravta leader, I swear I saw a vien pop in his head

My mother had a more welcoming approach to it, she's a kind soul really I don't know how she puts up with my father

I hear the priest beside me yell 'all rise' and the music started, not the traditional here comes the bride but a more slowed and somber piano

Everyone stands and turns to the big doors slowly opening

And there stands my soon to be wife

I never got a good look at her dress when we met for that brief time but it hugs her like a glove

My eyes flicker to my parents. my dad is narrowing his eyes and raising his brow and my mother is gleaming

Her face is covered by her veil and her fathers arm is interlinked with hers

They start coming closer and closer to the stand

Her father lifts her hand to place into mine, taking it, I assist her to the stand

I gently take the fragile veil and slowly lift it up and to the back of her head revealing her face

Her eyes are pointed to my chest but I notice a look of worry in her eyes, her breathing slightly fast and her hands shaking by her side

The priest starts spewing his script

"Look at me." I whisper lowly

I slide my hands into her small and shaking ones making her eyes flicker to mine

"This is a wedding not a execution hermosa" I mumbled, her eyes softened and the corners of her mouth turned upwards for a fraction of a second
(Trans-  "beautiful" or "gorgeous")

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in and out

"Now do you, mateó king take Anastasia ivanov as your lawful wife?" The priests beaming voice comes back into my hearing range

"I do."

"And do you, Anastasia Ivanov take mateó king as your lawful husband?"
