You changed my life [Rammstein]

Chapter 51: Something red...

I stand in front of the mirror and look at my outfit, Maria next to me. She adjusts the veil on my hair and then wipes her tears with the back of her sleeve.

Today is the day long awaited for two months, the day when we'll all marry in an intimate ceremony that will include only the family. My half-sister Annie will also get engaged with Erni.

-Stop crying, mamma. I say, wiping her cheeks. Or I'll cry too.

-Tears of joy, my daughter. She says; smiling. I am very happy...

My mother places Anaisse's barrette in my hair then turns and looks at the twins who are playing in their garden, on the carpet next to us. They are dressed in a white dress for Yvonne, and a three-pieces costume for Gabriel.

My dress is not white, as in customs, but rather Gothic. It's the idea of ​​my father Richard to break the traditions, and so we accepted.

-Are you ready, girls? Asks my vater as he enters the room.

I look at him and wave to him to come to us. He is very amusing and charming at the same time, with his pink hair, which Lindemann had made to him. I remember this funny incident very well.

~ FLASH BACK ~

-Something old, borrowed and red... Said Mayume, crunching an apple.

We are all six at home to choose the wedding dresses. The girls are browsing magazines looking for wedding outfits from their native countries.

-I almost have them, I miss an old thing. Comments Till's fiancée.

-And I don't have the red thing to add. I exclaim in my turn. I will paint my hair maybe.

-I think I have what you need, Jim. Exclaims my father-in-law.

Paul enters the living room and I can see that he changed his hair color and it became blond. And at the same time, I see that someone is behind him. He puts himself on the side and lets us see my father...

-Who did that to you, Flake? I exclaim, eyes bulging.

-It was a stupid bet of Till to add blond to his red-haired painting. Announces Michaela. And here's the result...

-I saw you with all possible colors but not in pink. I say with a smile. This color suits you perfectly.

-Stop lying, he looks awfully like Ariel Landers. Pleasants Nadia.

I cast a murderous black look at her and then turn to my daddy and assure him that the color suits him well, and no need to worry.

-It's true ?! He says, biting his lower lip. Thank you...

~ END OF FLASH BACK ~

Maria helps my dad adjust his costume and then we go out of the room together. I do my best not to get my feet in my dress, too long to my taste, getting down the steps. When we reach the garden, where the wedding will take place, we find the mayor waiting.

-You're wonderful, darling. Murmurs Emil, taking me from Flake's arms.

-My daughter is always beautiful, Reinke. Teases my mother.

I smile tenderly at him and then encircle his arm with my hand and go to the large table where the others are sitting. It's not a religious marriage, because most people who are going to marry are not believers.

Everything happens quickly and I sign on the book to become officially Mrs. Landers, the wife of the famous actor Emil Reinke Landers.

-Congratulations to all of you !! Emu tells us when the last one signs on the register.
