The final moment has arrived as the crowd-everyone that was invite began showing up and taking their appointed place, Brian stood before the crowd with a look of anticipation or in his sense nervous and confused with his black designer Armani suit and with a crisp white top and Pierre Cardin tailored shoes the venue look amazing, it looked as if they just stepped inside heaven with everyone observing the place with adoration and some in awe
A symphony from the corner began playing signalling the bride’s arrival, everyone including Mr Simmons himself stood up waiting upon her arrival, as the symphony played quite longer than usual according Brian who stood up looking directly at the hall hoping and silently praying for her arrival, now the music went quiet with no sign of her and then murmurs and whispers were now evident in everyone as people began talking about the current situation
Then while in the sounds of whispers the place suddenly went quiet and still as Jasmine stood there, looking at the room with a small smile on her face, everyone stood and looked with admiration at the beauty that the bride possessed, Her beauty just radiated through the venue, She belonged to the heavens, she looked more like an angel than anything else.
‘How can someone possess such natural beauty’ Brain thought as he gaped at her Bride approaching , surely one should not feel this way when he is marrying a stranger he thought, he should be angry and seeing ugliness everywhere instead he saw and felt the total opposite of anger, he felt like all the heavens have opened up for him, that he was in a fantasy and he didn’t want to wake up from it, but this one is real and now he was facing his soon to be bride’s beautiful hazel brown eyes, He looked from her eyes to her body where her white gown fit perfectly like it was designed for but he couldn’t spend one more second, he had to look back to her eyes because they just captivated him and lured him in than he ever imaged
“Dearly beloved , We are gathered here to witness and celetrate the Union of Jasmine Mila Sanders and Brian Richard Simmons the third that are binded together by love and compassion for each other, Now we are brought here by a bind created by God…….”The priest said as they stood there facing each other, Jasmine took this moment to zone out of what was being said and carefully observe the guy who stood before him.
‘He looks handsome’ she thought at she looked at him and thinking of when she locked eyes with him when she came in. she wondered if it was the mood of the environment or the presence of these people or if he was actually acting but the look he held was something she has not seen since their first encounter.
He looked at peace with himself and he could see through his eye, ‘I must be seeing things’ She thought as she believed she saw happiness in his eye and love?
“I Do” She heard that drew her out of her thoughts to focus on what he just said
“Say I do…” the priest said looking directly and her and by a sneak to the mass of strangers available to witness her wedding she finally spoke up“I do”…
“And by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you as man and wife, you may kiss the bride” the priest said, if the whole ceremony didn’t feel awkward then this has to be ,as they haven’t figured out a simple way of kissing that will be convincing to the crowd, Brian came closer slowly with Jasmine meeting him halfway until their lip gently brushed against each other and then that lingered or about a fraction of a second, as Jasmine thought that was it, Brian’s body had a mind of his own as his hands automatically pulled her closer, cupping her face and going in for a more, deeper passionate kiss Jasmine getting in tuned with the passionate kiss until they were put to a stop by the sound of hands clapping and music playing again.
Jasmine felt a blush of red rise to her cheeks as he looked into her eyes and holding her hand right in front of the crowd
“Right this way” the planner once again appeared ushering them to a nearby spot that looked more like a park that had a bench and couple of trees but also surrounded by flowers
“Congratulations Mr. and Mrs Simmon, now can we please take your pictures before time runs out because I believe that your flight to your honeymoon destination will be arriving in three Hours” He said as Jasmine stood there shocked, Three Hours? She whispered silently as she thought she was going to spend some quality time with her mother to check up on everything.
She resumed back to the bench where she was instructed on how to pose, look at the camera, look into the sun then a whole lot of shots with her husband, in his arms , holding hands .looking at each other in the eyes, all the romantic pictures seen on magazines .
They headed back inside the house to change yet again, this time she wore a peach mermaid dress that was diamond studded and her still the same but her makeup changed into a more natural tone that went along with the attire and went back to chapel to find it transformed into a wonderful reception and cool music as people were being served and deep in conversation
“Come, just follow wherever I go with a smile on your face ”Brian said tugging Jasmine in his arms and leading her to a group of people who were so deep in conversation but when they came closer it seems that the only person they saw was Brian and Jasmine was invincible
guess your party days are over now” One of the blonde girls said as she enveloped Brian In a hug and resuming her position without staring a glance at Jasmine
“What? Never, he can try to chain me but he will never, after this shit and after all the media is vanished, I’m back baby” He said and emphasising “chain” as he pointed towards Jasmine, everyone erupted in a roar of laughter and others giving him a high 5s , she felt so out of place but all she can do was just smile and pretend to be in the joke too
She spotted her mom then kindly excusing herself, ignoring the glare she got from Brian
“Mama” She said holding her mom’s hands and taking a seat next to her
“The ceremony was so beautiful Mila ”she said smiling until they were interrupted by another voice
“I could only find these apple ciders unl…..Oh my beautiful bride, come here” The women Brian called nana said coming closer and pulling her into a bone crushing hug and kissing both her cheeks smiling widely
“You are so beautiful and perfect for Brain” She spoke again smiling and then the conversation began between the three lady , drinks being brought to them and finally Brian decided to appear after a while of socializing with colleagues
“”Beautiful ladies, how are you doing” He said coming behind Jasmine’s chair and kissing her cheeks on the process
“Nana was just telling me how naughty you were when you were young” She said looking up and smiling
“I hope she didn’t tell you all the things I’ve done, some are rather embarrassing” He said smiling and looking at his nana
“Not all, otherwise she would have left instantly” She said laughing and all 4 laughing along before nanna spoke again
“Now you guys are going to your honeymoon, I just want one thing from you guys, please come back with a bun in the oven please, I want grandkids and great-gran kids before I kick the bucket so Brian make sure of them”
After those words, the newly wed just paled on the spot with a blush of pink evident on Brian’s cheeks , they were left speechless until Brian broke off the silence
“Well on that note, we have to get going now, the car is waiting for us” He said pulling Jasmine and bidding farewell to everyone on their way to their Honeymoon or better yet nightmare
