Chapter-17

~ Third Person Point of View~

The next time she went to was their wedding. She wanted to see how was the wedding as their wedding video was completely trash.

From a vantage point near the back of the convention center's grand hall, Afra had a front-row seat to the unfolding beauty of Shumi and Jewel's wedding. The space was a visual marvel, transformed from its usual modern convention center setup into a breathtaking celebration of love and tradition.

Jewel, standing near the entrance in his sharp black tuxedo, was a portrait of classic elegance. His formal attire, with its crisp lines and polished details, made him look every bit the part of a groom. She could see the mixture of anticipation and joy on his face as he eagerly awaited his bride. Afra could also tell the exhaustion in his eyes.

The whole marriage was arranged and managed by the two of them. It wasn't a grand wedding but yet both of them were happy. Their whole family was there along with their work colleagues and friends.

The subtle way his eyes darted to the entrance, his hands fidgeting slightly, revealed the depth of his emotions. It was clear how much this moment meant to him.

When Shumi appeared, the impact was immediate and profound. Her saree, with its intricate gold and silver embroidery, was stunningly elegant. As she walked down the aisle, her grace was mesmerizing. The soft fabric of her saree seemed to flow like liquid silk, moving with a fluidity that accentuated her every step. The warm glow from the ambient lighting enhanced the understated beauty of her attire, casting a gentle halo around her.

Afra watched Jewel's reaction as Shumi approached, and it was truly heartwarming. His eyes softened, and a smile of pure adoration spread across his face. It was as though time stood still for him in that moment. The visible emotion in his expression—pride, love, and awe—was palpable. He seemed entirely captivated by Shumi, his gaze never wavering as she drew closer.

The ceremony itself was a blend of grandeur and intimacy, with the convention center's high ceilings and elegant décor providing a fitting backdrop. The floral arch, adorned with roses and marigolds, was a striking focal point, and the soft lighting created a romantic ambiance that enveloped the entire space. As Shumi and Jewel sat together, their expressions were a mix of reverence and joy. The sincerity in their vows was evident, and the setting only seemed to magnify the depth of their commitment.

Throughout the reception, the atmosphere was one of celebration and warmth. The banquet hall, with its carefully arranged tables and delicate floral centerpieces, created a festive yet refined environment. The guests were clearly enjoying themselves, with animated conversations and laughter filling the room. I could see the happiness radiating from Shumi and Jewel as they mingled with their family and friends, their faces aglow with the joy of the occasion.

As the night drew to a close, the convention center's large windows provided a stunning view of the fireworks display that lit up the night sky. The bursts of color and light seemed to mirror the excitement and happiness of the day. Jewel and Shumi stood together, watching the fireworks with looks of wonder and contentment. The sight of them, standing side by side with their faces illuminated by the fireworks, was a perfect conclusion to a day filled with love and celebration.

The combination of Shumi's elegant saree, Jewel's classic tuxedo, and the grandeur of the convention center created a truly unforgettable experience. The love and happiness shared by the couple were palpable, making their wedding a truly special occasion to witness.
