Eluding Emotion

Time and Eternity

"Hi hun, you good?" aunt Alaura asked as she closed the door behind her.

"Yeah, I'm great" I smiled as she walked towards me; and we both faced the mirror. She smiled back at me and placed her hands on my shoulder.

"You look so beautiful, Olivia. I'm sure that Alcinda and Travian would give everything to be here." she smiled fondly.

"Mm...I miss them too. Especially today, I wish they'd meet Lehi."

"They'd definitely love him." she nodded, and we both looked at uncle Amador standing by the door.

"Hope I'm not interrupting" he muttered.

"No," I shook my head and stood up "you're never an interruption, uncle Amador."

"I know sweetie, I know. I just want to see you before you walk down the aisle. I'm so happy for you Olivia. Your mother and father are I know that." he gave me a soft hug "You look so beautiful, just like your mother."

"Thanks" I smiled after sighing "Well, should we go?"

"Let’s. Besides, Lehi must be itching to see you." aunt Alaura winked and I giggled. Uncle Amador opened the door for us, and I placed both my hands on the crook of their arms, as aunt Alaura carried the bouquet of white roses for me. Uncle Amador is wearing a black suit with royal blue tie, and blue rose for his corsage just like the other guests. Aunt Alaura is wearing a royal blue dress, designed by the ever talented Noah Sky, with the help of his girlfriend Lillian Camel. That young couple are so perfect together, and I pleaded her to wear the dress Noah made her today, but she says that it might spoil the motif; but she wore it for me to see when they delivered my wedding dress the other day.

I saw them by the glass doors and they both smiled at me. "You look so beautiful, Ms Snow." Lillian smiled and made a few final adjustments with my hair and dress.

"Well, you guys did a fabulous job with me today. So I have to thank the two of you for making time, though I know that you guys have a lot on your plate."

"It was a pleasure to help you Olivia, you don't have to thank us for that." Noah smiled, and his teddy bear brown eyes twinkled. They gave me a nod and walked outside to their designated seats. Uncle Amador and aunt Alaura left soft kisses on my cheeks before going out. I feel happy and butterflies start to fill my stomach. Lehi's friends from college started to play Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" with their piano and cello. I took a deep breath as I stood by the glass doors, and two ushers opened the doors for me, as the guests turned their heads towards my direction--along with Lehi.

Lehi's POV

My mind's still running through cycles of happiness and excitement as Ben and Michael started playing their cover of "A Thousand Years". I heard my mum gasp in awe and was followed by other gasps--which made me stand straight even more. It only means that my bride is here. I turned my head towards her direction and I smiled. She looks more heavenly than before. She smiled back at me as she walked along the aisle. Noah Sky is indeed gifted. My mum was right, if I saw the design before the wedding; it'll spoil what I'm feeling right now. It looks exactly like how Noah described it earlier when I pleaded him to tell me how she looks like.

"It's a cream-white sleeveless dress, and the length’s all the way to the floor. The top half is different from the bottom, for the material had wrapped itself vertically over each other. I added blue embellishments of the triangular shaped formed as if it was a shoulder piece. Lillian insisted on placing sapphires and diamonds on the waistline, but we managed to keep it simple and elegant for Olivia. The material used on the dress is the same as the one of your tie." Noah's words replayed on my mind as I gazed upon Olivia. Her jet black curls are hanging gracefully just below her shoulders. Some of her locks are pinned to the sides so her beautiful face is shown.
