I cant believe this! I wanted to cry a river but I dont wanna waste my make up and ruin my look right now. I had a light and simple do and make up. I just wanted my face to look as possibly natural as it is.
"We're almost done," Ava tapped my shoulder lightly. The minute is ticking by so fast! I feel like tearing up right now..
Julie, chill and relax. You can do this without breaking down or something.
I smiled as I saw my reflection on a huge mirror right infront of me. I cant believe i am wearing something I never thought would wear, my very own wedding gown that I am clueless who was this by.
I ran my fingers through the very soft and long skirt of my gown memorizing the very simple details of it. I know some would say this piece is so simple compared to other dresses that are shiny and sparkly whatsoever, but I love this one. Its color is cream with a tiny and silky thin piece of cloth around my waist that Ava tied into a ribbon on its end to end at the back.
I took a deep breath as I look at Ava. She smiled at me. I think she knew that i am nervous because it's written all over my face.
"You're nervous," she stated and i laughed nervously as i nodded once.
"Relax now. He's excited to see you," she gave me a light peck on my cheek as she went behind me to pin the veil and then left.
Ate Tina came in in a pretty light green gown and suddenly gave me a perfectly arranged bouquet with a few varieties of flowers. I could identify some. There's Michelle carnation, a succulent, my favorite white roses around it mixed with pink ones, freesias, stargazers and peonies. I held it tight as i looked at them and then to Ate Tina.
"Salamat, Ate," i smiled.
"Kanina pa siya kinakabahan. Napakaganda mo, Julie," Ate Tina held my shoulders and looked at me in the eyes when she uttered those words. No, i cant cry right now. Thankfully, she moved and looked at her golden watch.
"I'll see you there, baby girl," Ate Tina gave me a hug and then left me alone.
Julie, last one look.
Oh God. This is it.
Breathe in. And then out.
I heard a knock after a few minutes. Somebody opened it and there I heard an instrument playing then a guy came into my view. Christian Bautista.
I was so surprised that i almost slip down when he started singing Nothing But Love by Trading Yesterday.
This song. It's one of Elmo's favorite song ever to sing to me whenever we go for a roadtrip. I smiled hugely.
Kuya Christian held my hand and then helped me out of the room.
A perfect day is any day spending my life with you
He started the song.
I cant explain how I fall inlove in everything that you do
There were camera flashes when we walked out of the room. I knew they were the hired videographer and photographer of this event.
I shook my head as we make our way out of the place. God, i havent seen the venue!
God sure must like me more than I ever knew.
Cos I could never ask for more..
From love
...and life
