You woke up today feeling nervous and excited at the same time. Finally. The day has come. You did your morning ritual. You wash your face and brush your teeth. You went out of the room to get yourself a cup of coffee. You saw your mom and sister already drinking theirs. They smiled at you while you pour yourself a cup.
"How are you feeling dear?" your mom asked you.
You couldn't help but sigh. You gave her a smile.
"Nervous. Excited. Actually, I don't know exactly what I'm feeling. All I know is that I've waited for this moment for so long I just want it to be perfect." you told them honestly. You've been dreaming about this that you are so scared that something might go wrong. Your sister went beside you and gave you a side hug.
"Relax Yoyon. Everything will be fine. I made sure of that. I want my sister's wedding to be perfect as much as you do." she winked at you. This is the reason why it was no-brainer that Nadine will be your matron of honor. She knows exactly what you need without asking. And you know she will do her best to make this day perfect for you because she knows you will strangle her if anything goes wrong.
They told you to relax and get ready because your 'glam' team (as Bianca and Nadine liked to call it) will be arriving soon.
You went back to your room and drank your coffee in the balcony. The cool breeze is enough to give you chills. You can't help but reminisce about the past. The struggles. The tears. How you fought for the love of your life only to be rejected. The moving on process. The reunion. When she was finally able to find the courage to fight for you. When you were so scared that she will just leave you again that you ran away from her. When she didn't give up and still pursued you. That was when you knew that it's worth the risk the second time around. The coming out process. And most of all, acceptance. You were both so elated that your families (especially hers) finally accepted your relationship with her.
You were busy thinking about the past that you didn't notice Bianca coming in.
"Hey B! Wow you're finally getting married! Who would've thought?!" she teased you.
You laughed heartily. Yes, marriage was very far from your mind before you met her. You can blame the countless heartbreaks you had to go through for that. You were ready to spend your life alone, as an old maid, with Robbyn. But it all changed when you met her.
Glaiza.
The woman who turned your world upside down. The one who changed your views about marriage. After the two of you got back together, you already planned to propose to her. Because you couldn't imagine spending your life without her by your side.
Biance gave you a small notebook. It was wrapped with a gold ribbon. You took it and looked at it questioningly.
"You're wife's first gift" she smiled at you and left the room. You unwrappped her gift and found different compositions inside. These are songs. You read the first few pages before you looked at the last page.
Mk,
Today will definitely be one of my favorite days in my life. We will finally be one. But before that, I want you to have this notebook. It is a collection of all the songs that I wrote for you. I didn't record and release them because these are very special and I only want you to be the one to read them.
I love you so much Mk. I will never run out of words and melody to show how much I love you. I can't wait to marry you my love.
Your wife,
Glaiza
You can't help but feel giddy after reading her note. God. You really can't wait to marry her.

This is the day. Finally. After everything that has happened, you are finally marrying the love of your life. You didn't sleep well last night. You kept tossing on your bed thinking of all the things that might go wrong. What if the flowers were not the lilies that Rhian specifically requested? Or you forget your vows? Or worst, what if Rhian changes her mind, remembering all those times you didn't fight for her and will leave you before the wedding? You bolted upright from lying down that it almost gave you a whiplash. You couldn't bear the thought. You shouldn't have listened to your mother and mommy clara (yes,you already started calling her mommy) when they insisted to follow traditions and demanded that you and Rhian should sleep in separate rooms. You're no longer used to sleeping without her beside you. You're restless when her arms are not around you to spoon you (Rhian always insisted that she is the big spoon). You need her cuddles,her kisses, her assurance. You were so tempted to go out and go to Rhian's but you remembered how she proposed to you a year ago and that's all the assurance that you need.
