Do you ever believe that love is sweeter the second time around? How absurd. I've been in love with the same person for almost half years of my life. How absurd right? He's the man of my dreams.

"Hey! I've been waiting for you." He smiled sweetly at me. Who couldn't fall for this man?

"How sweet. Are you that happy to see me?" I asked even its obvious.

"Madly yeah." He laughed. "Anyway, you're gonna buy a dress for the wedding right?" He asked.

"Yes. And you?"

"I'll be your man. I need to buy a suit too, you know. You're gonna help me look handsome right?" The sound of his voice is obviously excited - excited for the wedding. I smiled.

"Yeah, you're too handsome, you don't need that suit."

"Yeah, that's why you fell for me." I laugh at his response.

"Come on, handsome!" I shouted as I ran away from him to go to the boutique. We chose each others suit and dress for the wedding. He smiled all day even its tiring to run around for the wedding.

"You know that I'm happy right?" He asked all of a sudden.

"Obviously. You're too happy."

"Right." He looked at me intently. "I never knew I'll find happiness again through you." He sincerely says looking at me.

"Don't show that too much." I laugh nervously. "That's too sudden."

"It's my dream wedding." He murmurs but I hear him clearly. I smiled after remembering our dream wedding. He planned all of it and I let him do that. I can't explain how happy I am when I saw how sincerely happy he was.

"I know. I can clearly draw your happy face, don't show it too much." This time I never intended to shed a tear but I did, luckily he didn't saw it because he's too emerged on his imagination that I clearly wipe my tears away and smile.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it." I nodded only in response with a smile. "Is planning for the wedding that tiring?" He asked all of the sudden.

"Nah. Do I look that haggard to you?" Am I? I don't know. Maybe this is excitement.

"Yes. You look tired to me but nonetheless you're still pretty." He sincerely said.

"I know. Don't do that to me."

"Do what?"

"That." I point his face smiling from ear to ear then he laugh at my expression.

"You're too cute. I'm so thankful I met you." He added out of nowhere.

"Aren't you dramatic now?" I said trying to suppress my tears.

"I'm sorry. Do you know how to drive now?" He's changing our topic maybe he knew I might cry over that talk.

"Yes." I tried to answer him without my voice trembling cause by his dramatic message of thankfulness. "You know, I'm better than you now."

"Woah. Please give credits to me. I'm your teacher in that field. Remember the time that we almost bump into a tree because you didn't focus on the road?"

"Yeah." I laugh. Who can't remember that? That's the time he and I admitted that we both like each other and the start of our relationship. "And you knew that happened because of you! You stares at me like crazy."

"I can't help to admire your pretty face, that's why."

"You're too handsome too, that's why." I admitted.

"Anyway, isn't this day is supposed to be your last day of being a bachelor? Why are you hanging out with me?" Yes, tomorrow is the wedding day. "I think you should go and have fun."

"But we're having fun, aren't we?"

"Yes. But you can still see me tomorrow." I added.

"I know. It's just that I can't let you off alone preparing the wedding. I want it to be perfect." He's too good to be true, really.

"I know. Let me do that. Come on, jam with the boys. Tomorrow is the day!" I shouted in glee.

"Fine. I'll let you do that." He kissed my cheeks before leaving and prepared all the things that's needed to be done in the wedding and before I knew it the day has ended.

The day came - the wedding day. This is unbelievable! But I am thankful to God that I am finally his and he's mine, mine and mine alone. We are now in front of God saying our vows, today marked the day of the big change in my life - our wedding day, the wedding that we planned, his dream wedding for his wife. The man whose always there for me in good times and in bad times, the man who I can always rely on, the man whom I secretly fall for, the man whom I've known for a long times - my best friend, my lover. I am the luckiest girl in the world right now because he loves me as much as I love him. We're now changing our wedding vows that we both prepared for each other. I never been happy in my life until now.

"You may now kiss your bride."

We both sincerely look in each others eyes with love and were about to kiss.

"Althea, wake up! wake up!" Did I dozed off because of tiredness?
"Come on! We're finally here"

I slowly get out in the car and went to the church.

"You look pretty, come, the wedding is starting, you always talked about it right? Yieee, you're lucky you met him"

I only laughed at her. The music that he love was playing and I am nervous as I walk into the aisle. I am happy. We both look in our eyes and he smile, the smile that I wouldn't forget in my life. I'm now near him and I smiled. His eyes is looking for something.

Oh, it was her bride in this church with him - the man I love doing the same damn thing in my dream. He smiled at me and utter the word "Thank you for planning our wedding."

He married the one who comforted him when I suddenly want a breakup because I grab the opportunity of being abroad for schooling, he married my sister and I'm the one who became the bridge because they met through me and find their happily ever after. I'm the wedding planner of the wedding that I dream but I can't have. He's happily married but I still can't moved.
