I had no intention of entering a relationship, nor do I want to get married. Which is why I am wondering how did I end up sitting in front of a strange English woman, drinking afternoon tea at the back garden of a hotel in Mayfair, going through thi...

The Wedding
Tilly sat quietly in the drawing-room, already dressed and groomed for her big day. She was an early riser, which is why she want to waste time and had requested earlier on to have the make-up artist come at an earlier time.
Any moment now, her bridesmaids, flower girls and 'bridesmen' will fill the drawing-room. So whilst the halls were still quiet, she had requested the kitchen to bring her breakfast. She knew that most brides didn't eat during their wedding day. But there is no way she would let herself go through that, knowing that she'd probably faint due to hunger.
Much to her surprise, the food came sooner than expected, and a was styled in charcuterie boards. Before she could ask anything, the maid had informed her that;
"It's the instruction from the Don Sandro, it's for your entourage Madame, enjoy and best wishes!"

Tilly smiled and thanked the maid before she left the room. She asked the kitchen only for her meal because she knew it was still too early to requests food for everyone. She didn't expect that Sandro would be considerate enough to ask the kitchen to prepare food for her whole entourage. Half-an-hour later the hall was already busy, with her whole entourage either eating, running around, trying to fix their bow tie, or getting their makeup done by the makeup artist. In no time, all the food was quickly finished, the boards had no crumbs nor syrup left on the bowls, which made the people in the kitchen glad because it meant that the 'madame' and her family liked the food.
Whilst waiting for everyone to get ready, Tilly sat on the side and read her magazine that she subscribed to inside her phone. It was one way to kill time since all she needed was a touch-up on her make-up before the actual ceremony begins. But her attention shifted when she heard a knock outside of the room. Because nobody was paying attention and was busy with their own thing, Tilly answered the door herself.
"Oh! Emil! how are you?"
"I'm fine, Sandro told me to check on you if you are doing fine or if there is any problem. Since the groom can't see the bride before the wedding."
"Oh yes, I remember, come in, please... I need to talk to you," Tilly said, opening the doors wide for him to come in.
When Emil entered the hall, he was not surprised at the chaos that was happening. There were Tilly's 'bridesmen' on one side, bantering on how to tie a proper bow tie. Whilst the women were busy with their hair and makeup, and the children were running around nonstop in circles. It was only when Emil was able to sit down that he noticed how ethereal Tilly looks.
