The Modern Princess

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER SIX

Ridding on a restored vintage white Bentley Arnage T and wearing a sheer long sleeve backless Elie Saab wedding gown, it was a long tail gown completed with a 1939 made diamond tiara to hold the veil partnered with a diamond dangling earrings and a necklace with the friendship pendant. I knotted my hands together, a gesture I do to somehow ease the tense in me.

Lexumbia is waiting for me to go down is a big pressure. I manage to smile still since the windows are transparent, and paparazzi are all over me. "Indulge every moment as you walk down the aisle Katherine. This is your day, your wedding. Walk slowly, confidently and walk as if you are really going to marry the man you love" Sophia whispered before I get out of the bridal car. Yes. This is it, the wedding of my life.

My heart is beating fast. I can see how many people are waiting for me to go down from the car the whole church were surrounded by them, giving me warm smiles, waving a flag and hand at me. God, please don't let me stumble. How many guests do we have aside from the netizens? Two thousand.

Everything's perfect and even the smallest detail were overlooked by them, it's like a fairytale wedding in the twenty first century. The twist? Persons getting married are never in love.

A fresh bouquet of tulips in my hand, I start walking feeling like a real princess, smiling as I slowly walk down the aisle, like I've really love him for the longest time. This is something I never dreamt about. Having this big marriage is not really my thing. Before, I dreamt of having an elegant wedding, but not this much but as I grow older and have been in a serious relationship I began dreaming of being married in a little church where all of my friends and relatives are with me.

A red carpet lead me going inside the gothic inspired, very intrinsic designed, St. Michael's Church where Jeanne's mom and brother got married too. The church was made by unbreakable adobe. In the porch is where my mom and dad await for me.

"This is it honey and whatever objections I have done, you still decided on this and I'm happy for you" mom said with teary eyes.

"Let's not ruin Kathy's makeup" dad simply said. "I love you" he whispered on me.

"I love you too" I said and hugged mom "I love you too mom" we slowly walk down the aisle. Twelve pairs of huge pillars was inside, the whole wide ceiling was painted by famous Lexumbish painters and the only light provided is the brightness of the sunshine, which creeps out from the transparent windows of the Church above. While on the front was the cross and a very beautiful stained glass that was as huge as the pillars.

I pass through lots of guest, most of which were Prime Minister, Aristocrats and Noble Men I knew by names but not personally most of which has their hats as a sign of Aristocracy. From there on I see Jeanne from afar, his hands are relaxingly holding each other, giving me a beautiful smile. Don't spoil the moment Katherine, he's been nothing but good to you, enjoy this moment. This is your wedding. I gave him a smile from my heart, the best-est smile I can ever give, a smile that reached not only my ears but also my heart, not because of the people around us, but because of the man waiting for me at the end of this aisle.

He's wearing his navy blue three-piece suit that complements his gray necktie. He stands straight up not removing his eyes of me, his smile is steady. He looks so elegant, so classy, so handsome, so...lovable.

When we arrive in front of him, at the end of the aisle, he reached for my hand and gave my father and mother a nod, conveying a message that says I will take care of her. He put my hand on his elbow and cautiously walk towards the altar.

The wedding ceremony started and go through as usual, none of the moment was dull, it was as if I am really going to marry my long time partner, a person I'm in love with.
