the next two days passed really fast even though I didn't have much to do and there was no work ; they passed as if they were running of something,  as if they were going to the one they loved ; they passed by the speed of light .

"that day came , my wedding day . am marrying the woman I love and the bestman is gonna be my best friend. it can't get any better and nothing can ruin my day" I was thinking to myself .

Mark is supposed to be here by the time everything starts .

the door knocked suddenly as I was getting ready  "come in" I said loud enough for the person to hear .
the door revealed Mr Hector. he entered and closed the door behind him.

"are you ready man?" he said .

I looked down at myself then at him saying a bit uncomfortably "yeah , I guess"

he laughed "it seems that you're not emotionally ready"he said ,looking at me with a big smile .

"it's not that am not ready. maybe it's more like am way too excited cause it's finally happening"I said ,moving my hands in excitement .

he smiled ,warmly this time , saying "well you're free to feel this way" I smiled back at him.

I gave him my back to look at the mirror cause I needed to be totally ready.

"you know!" he started . I payed him my ear as he continued "I have always saw it , the fire , the storm and the electricity between you and Lily. I was just waiting for you to hold it in your hand and to own it "
he then looked straight to my eyes through the mirror . I turned to look at him and he didn't move a inch .

"a man like him is really put in the right position . he has control over his company , over his employees , over his life and he has control over himself . he is a man in control. he ignites fire as he walks . his company is the volcano he created where he is sitting at the top in his lava throne, watching everything and noticing everyone. he noticed me and Lily in silence without making a move . I work for a powerful man ." I thought proudly to myself.

"am really happy for you Ivan. you guys deserve each other . a flower like her deserves a protector like you. congratulations man." he then gave me a smile that I never knew it existed , a smile that showed me how sincere he was .

I smiled back " thank you sir" I said without breaking eye contact .

he stayed with me till I was fully ready and till my beautiful parents came to see me , to cry from their happiness and to show how much they were proud . he stayed with me till it was time .

what do I remember from the wedding ?
I remember the beautiful sounds that the piano created during the entire wedding , covering everything with comfort and relaxation and piercing everyone's ear and heart .
I remember my babe ; I remember her entering while her long brown hair was cuddling with the air behind her back in secret and her gorgeous long dress was following her step by step as if it was her guardian.
I remember everyone looking at my Lily with astonished and mesmerized looks .
I remember the tear that wanted to escape my eye and I remember stopping it .
I remember the beautiful caranation being thrown in the air above us . I remember the warmness of her hand .
I remember her smile that couldn't get any bigger .
I also remember Mark not being there .

I entered our house with my princess in my arms , not touching the ground , hiding her face in my chest . she lifted her head up to appreciate the beauty of the nest that we created together .

she then looked at me saying shyly "babe , you can put me down now"

I got closer touching my forehead with her's while saying with a serious low tone" don't want to"

she laughed shyly and tried to look for anywhere to hide herself but when she failed , she said "you can lift me any time later" I gave her a shinning smile and then let her down .

I held her hand as we walked in our house together .
we went to our room . I was looking at her with a look that was filled with admiration.

she suddenly looked at me a bit sad saying "you're sad that Mark didn't come ? right?"

my face suddenly changed as I said "of course I am but" I stopped as I approached her and cupped her petite face with my big hands " I won't let anything ruin today , it's our day. all I see , all I feel and all I think about is you and only you" I continued .

her eyes became watery and she leaned with her face on my right hand while closing her eyes and letting her other hand reach to my left hand . her eyes opened,  spreading life everywhere .

"I agree"she whispered.

flashback to the wedding

Lily's POV

"my wedding day , it's my wedding day" I said jumping excitedly in my dress as Jasmine and all the other girls filled the room with girly giggles .

I stopped jumping and looked at them asking with suspense in my voice "and guess who am I getting married to?" they all shouted "Ivan" as of course I asked them that question a million times today so now they are finally saying it in sync .

"today is not my day . it's the day I share with my love , it's our day" I thought to myself .
all I wanted was to get ready as fast as  I could . I wanted to look good but I wanted to be with him more so I was doing everything very rapidly till Jasmine hit me on the back of my head making me yelp in pain "why?"I asked , whining.

"you have to look gorgeous today and I won't let you destroy that, do you hear me ?" she asked trying to look serious and angry .

" okay , okay , it's just that am excited to see him"

she sighed saying " I know sweety . don't worry all what is left is moments"

I smiled widely making her hug me , I hugged her back feeling very happy while all the girls went "aaaah"

Jasmine and I have been friends for a long time even though she is 3 years younger than me but our friendship was still perfect.  she has always encouraged and supported me through everything and there she is with me today making sure that everything is perfectly perfect . she's a diamond in the sea of friendship and luckily I was the one who picked her up. she is a real friend .

what do I remember from my wedding ?

all I remember from my wedding was my man .
I remember his smile .
I remember the tear in his eyes that never got the chance to meet his cheeks.
I remember his look at me .
I remember his tuxedo.
I remember his blue eyes glittery .
I remember him.

the minute we stepped to our house all I saw from him was love , appreciation and compassion .

I woke up the next day with my personal sunshine sleeping next to me and relaxation suddenly took over me making me never wanna get up, but I have to cause I wanna make breakfast for my babe . I stood up without making a sound to not wake her up . I looked at her and then I sighed thinking " I really need to do this" as I caressed her right cheek . i felt that now i can go .
