The music played and Grandpa had been practicing hard for this day I hooked my arm to his arm and we started to walk towards the altar. All the guests were staring at us people who I didn't know what kind of relationship they had with the family De Luca.
You could hear the people muttering under their breaths and some even eyeing me from head to toe, and by the blink of my eye, I was standing at the end of the altar waiting for my Grandpa to hand me over to Asher.
Asher had a black tux with a bow his hair in a nice slick back and his shoes being neatly polished.
"Please take care of her" Grandpa whispered as he begged Asher to take care of me. The veil covered my eyes which helped them not to see my watery eyes.
Grandpa took my hand and placed it on Asher's now I was officially being ripped from my family. Asher took my both hands making me face him the priest then started to talk
"We have come here to celebrate the union of these two families..." the priest was interrupted by Asher "Skip the unnecessary crap and let's get straight to the vows" he muttered as he was getting impatient.
The priest nodded his head and cleared his throat "Asher Theodore De Luca please repeat after me... I, Asher Theodore De Luca, take you, Choi Soojin Primrose, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death, we do part, according to God's holy law, and this is my solemn vow." The priest finished saying and nodded at Asher
" I, Asher Theodore De Luca, take you, Choi Soojin Primrose, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this moment forwards, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death, we do part, according to God's holy law, and this is my solemn vow" Asher repeated with his eyes fixed on me.
"Now Choi Soojin Primrose repeat after me... I, Choi Soojin Primrose, take you, Asher Theodore De Luca, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this moment forwards, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death, we do part, according to God's holy law, and this is my solemn vow"
I repeated the same words the priest said, my hands started to sweat and my body started to tremble slightly.
"Please exchange your rings as the vows have been done." The priest ordered us, Lewis gave Asher the ring box and Adi gave the ring box to me.
We hadn't gone together to pick out the marriage rings I knew it was going to be gold since the engagement ring was gold. He opened his ring box and took out the shiny golden ring full of diamonds, it was gorgeous never in my life have I been surprised by a man's taste buds.
He slid the ring on my ring finger and it shimmered as the sunset hit on the diamonds. I then opened the ring box and took out his ring, I didn't know what would be perfect for him.
But I chose a ring that said I was trying my best. As I opened the ring box the golden ring shone and its 3 diamonds gave it a delicate touch.
I took his left hand and slid the ring on his ring finger. "Asher Theodore De Luca do you accept Choi Soojin Primrose as your wife" The priest continued with his dialogue
"I do" Asher's deep voice was heard. "Choi Soojin Primrose, do you accept Asher Theodore De Luca as your husband"
My heart started to race and my hands started to sweat everyone was waiting for my response, but in my mind, I was thinking about the cons of declining this and the guns shooting at my family. I took a deep breath
"I...I do" It was more as a whispered. "Then I pronounce you Husband and Wife, you may now kiss the bride!"
The priest announced Asher lifted my veil and my face was now uncovered to him and the guest. Those same piercing green eyes captivated me his lips parted making his minty breath hit my face, and before I could react his hands cupped my face and his plump lips connected my lips.
WAIT! This is my first kiss! I squeezed my eyes shut and didn't know what to do at the moment his lips parted still a few centimeters apart from mine
"open your mouth for me gattina" he whispered waiting for me to do it, and I did I parted my lips confused about why he suggested for me to do it.
Not even a second pass as he connected his plump lips to mine his tongue was hot and touched every corner of my mouth.
He parted his lips and our hot breaths were hitting each other's face, the claps and the people's loud cheers were heard. Asher took my hand and we walked down the aisle towards the venue.
Everyone was seated at their table our plates were already placed on our table, and my family and his were sat in the middle.
Adi was by my right side and obviously, Asher was on my left Astrid was euphoric she had finally seen one of her sons getting married. Moretti kept his emotions under his mask, but his eyes looked at Astrid as a delicate item with love.
Hayden and Eunji were always fighting at home either he would be drunk and having fun with other women or she would go to nightclubs and dance for men.
Grandpa and Grandma were the closest thing to call true love they always danced together and laughed at their old dad jokes. I peeked at Asher trying not to get caught he had a slight smile as we kept staring at his parents talking about how their wedding was being organized and how Astrid was over the moon.
I think we both want nothing but love.
