Two Steps Behind

Wedding Day Preparations

Devin's POV:

It has been 2 weeks magmula ng magkita kami ulit ni Myrtle at nang magpropose ako sa kanya ng kasal. Pagbalik na pagbalik namin ng America, she had to go back to California para asikasuhin ang Architectural Firm na pagmamayari nya, I had to come to California with her, para pormal ko nang mahingi ang kamay nya from her parents.

I went back to New York, to tell Cara and my band about my decision to quit the band and stay in California. Maluwag naman nilang tinanggap ang desisyon ko. I packed my bags at mga gamit ko, para umuwi na sa California.

It was nice to finally go back to California, I drove from New York to California, It took me almost two days. Pagkadating na pagkadating ko pa lang sa California, dumiretso na ako sa bahay ni Myrtle, where we would have a family lunch, para na din pag-usapan ang nalalapit naming kasal. 

Sinalubong ako ng isang yakap at mainit na halik, mula kay Myrtle. I missed her so much. I kissed her back with the same intensity, I smiled into the kiss. We hugged each other, when I pulled away, she straightens  my button down polo. She smiles at her adjustment. 

"Love, kinakabahan ako kela Mommy." I heard her say bago pa kami nakapasok sa bahay nila. 

"Love, don't be. Ikaw ang magdedecide para sa kasal natin, kung saan, kung anong gusto mo. Ikaw lahat ang masusunod, they could only give you an advice, but yours will be the final word." I said as I held her hand. 

She held on to my hand, a little bit tighter as we walked towards the dining table. Pagdating namin ay nagbeso muna kami sa parents nya at kay Ate Madison, who is now pregnant with her first child with Kuya Jaime. Kuya Jaime smiled at me as he shook my hand and hugged me. 

Pagtapos ay naupo na kami ni Myrtle. I started to speak with Myrtle's Mom and Ate Madison.

"Tita and Ate Madison, I know you guys will help us with the wedding preparations namin next year. I just want to marry her, no stress or fuzz. I wanted to make sure po na Myrtle gets to decide with out any stress po ha?" 

"Okay." They both answered and smiled at me. 

Natapos ang lunch namin at nagsimula na kami magbrowse ng mga venues, we both decided to get married here in California, para hindi na kami magkaron ng problema when it comes to the logistics, if it were me I would simply marry her anywhere.

"Love, what do you think of this place?" She asked me.

"Love, ano bang gusto mo muna na wedding? Is it in a garden or sa isang simbahan? Kasi kung ako ang tatanungin mo, papakasalan kita kahit saan mo gusto." I asked her seriously.

"I wanted a Garden wedding sana love, so I don't like this church, although maganda siya." She said so finally.

"Okay, so we won't get married dyan. Let's look for other places, ano pang naiimagine mo on that day?" I smiled at her. 

"Hmmmm... I want it over looking the shore, if we could find a place like that, it would be perfect." She beamed at me. 

Several hours of looking up Venues for the wedding, I found a place I knew she would love. I decided to keep it a secret from her. 

"Love, I think I know a place, where we'll get married, pero surprise ko na lang sayo. I promise you'll love it." I smiled at her. 

"Love? Paano yun? Eh paano ko malalaman kung okay ba yung place? If the flowers and all that would fit?"

"Okay, ganito na lang love, simula ngayon, I will plan our wedding. I'll give you a visual of what it would look like. I'll send you random photos." I smiled at her.
