“A proper wedding? But we already had our wedding, right?” I asked, fully confused. “We’re married now, you’re right…but I was asking more about…like the classic church wedding where you wear a proper wedding gown, and we exchange rings and all that…” Reiner continued as he struggled to explain. A proper wedding? “Are you ok? Is something wrong?” I asked as I started to panic a little. “Nothing’s wrong. I was just thinking how rushed our wedding was and it was strange so I was wondering if you wanted to have a proper wedding…and you can invite your friends, family and guests over…” Reiner said solemnly. Was that what had been on his mind all along? I was shocked because I hadn’t expected anything like this from him before. Reiner seemed worried and I wasn’t quite sure what he was worrying about exactly. “Whose idea is this?” I asked suspiciously. “King’s…” Reiner confessed softly. “King’s idea?” I asked, even more shocked than before. “Yeah. Honestly, I was against it at firs
“Anything that you want is fine for me. Honestly, I’ve never thought about this before…” Reiner admitted a little shyly.“Really?” I asked curiously. “Yeah. I never thought that I would really get married…” Reiner confessed before he grinned wryly at me.Really? “Hmmm? Even with King nagging you like that?” I asked to tease him a little. “Well, if I run off and never come back here then I probably don’t have to marry anyone,” Reiner replied in a light teasing tone. I wondered if he could do something like that but then quickly realized that he probably could.“Don’t run off anymore, ok?” I said as I grabbed his arm and hugged it while snuggling my head on his shoulder. All those times I woke up with him gone in the past still haunted me and I never wanted to experience that again in this life. Next time, if something would come between us so that we had to part, I prayed that that would be inevitable death and nothing else. Reiner didn’t reply to me, but he did turn to smile war
“Shall we take a look inside? Maybe there’s someone here we can ask about using the place for our wedding as well,” Reiner said as he took my hand in his and began leading me towards the church. “Good idea,” I readily agreed.Walking through the garden with Reiner holding my hand felt so romantic and I began picturing us walking together just like this one our wedding day. Without knowing it, I had fallen very much in love with the small church and its surrounding grounds. The church was painted simply in white, and the interior was very simple with wooden benches. “It is kind of small…” Reiner said, although not disapprovingly. “Yeah. You don’t like it?” I asked, feeling slightly worried.“It’s fine. It’s not like there will be many guests anyways. I guess that you want to keep it pretty private, right?” Reiner asked, guessing very correctly what I wanted.“Well, it’s going to be private for me considering that I don’t know that many people on this island,” I replied with a small
The weather was just perfect, and I could imagine how beautiful the church would be with the natural light shining in from above. Despite Reiner’s teasing that we were going to be late, we arrived at the church roughly on time. The staff team and our stylists were already there to greet us. Queen’s friend and her team did an outstanding job in helping me organize everything the way that I wanted. “We still have some time before you need to do your make up and all that. What about you walk around and check on things. The flower and decorations look amazing even if I do say so myself,” Queen’s friend said proudly. I could tell that she was right even before I took a step into the small church. The flowers decorating the entry way to the church was exactly the color that I had wanted. A combination of orange, blush pink, and red coupled with deep green leaves. All those warm tone colors were colors of the sunset that I loved, and the color somewhat matches with the color that Reiner to
It took quite a lot of help from the other wonderful ladies in the room for me to get into my wedding dress. I hesitated quite a lot when I was choosing my wedding dress. Fortunately, having the picture of the location in mind truly helped me pick out what I thought was the perfect dress for the wedding. After trying on a few options, I decided to choose a white sleeveless dress with a corset top decorated with flower lace embroidered with small crystals with a flowing white skirt. It was simple but not too simple and the flow of the skirt made the dress look magical when I moved around. “Thank you very much,” I thanked everyone when the dress was finally on me. I looked at my reflection in the floor length mirror and I felt more than satisfied with how I looked. The wedding dress was nothing compared to the luxurious and large wedding gown that Angela chose for her wedding, but I felt like this suited the image that I wanted more. The most important part was that this dress wasn’t
One surprise followed another in rapid succession and my mind felt blurry. “I got a phone call. It was very surprising, but I quickly connected the dots. King is…a very unique man. He told me that his son had decided to marry my daughter and in fact you two were already married. He said that he thought that it would be bad manners if he didn’t let me know about it,” Lucien said as he recalled the peculiar conversation that he had with King. “Aha…” I mumbled, speechless. “I asked him if my daughter had a proper wedding that was befitting of her social standing. At that point, I just bluntly demanded that both King and Reiner give you a proper wedding that you more than deserve and that I was going to be there no matter what,” Lucien stated a little too proudly. So…that was what happened…“I was surprised when King didn’t hesitate to agree. He also arranged to fly me over and all that…” Lucien said before he smiled down at me again. King must have made special exceptions for Lucien
Compared to the vows that we exchanged in the cave, the traditional vows in a church paled completely in comparison. Unlike the honest and original vows where we picked the words that best expresses our feelings, these vows seem bounded by tradition. Not like there were no upsides, it definitely made things easier. After saying our ‘I do’s in part of the traditional vow, we exchanged rings. The crowd cheered loudly as romantic music played in the background. For formality’s sake, Reiner placed a chaste and very ceremonial kiss on my lips. I found that a little funny compared to how hot and demanding his kisses usually are and I couldn’t help but giggle a little to myself. Reiner smiled at me with a hint of laughter in his eyes and I figured that he must have found it a little amusing as well. “You look more like a bride…than before…” he whispered as he stood next to me. “Are you trying to say that I look stunningly beautiful?” I asked, trying to decode his words. “Yeah…” he replie
“Sit down,” Lucien said as he gestured for both of us to take a seat opposite from where he was seated.Although this mansion wasn’t his house, Lucien still eluded a clear aura of authority. I sat down while Reiner held my hand supportively. I got so nervous as the silence between us stretched on that I started playing around with Reiner’s thick and long fingers. “I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. I’m sorry that we have to do this today but I’m flying back tomorrow so this is probably the only chance that we’ve got to talk,” Lucien said before he came to a pause. “You’re leaving so soon…” I whispered sadly.He just got here…“Don’t worry. I’ll be back to visit you sooner or later,” Lucien said reassuringly.“Really?” I asked in pure surprise. “Yup. I got King’s permission and all that already,” Lucien said with a small laugh.I guess Reiner was right. King and Lucien must be on very good terms with each other. “What did you want to talk to us about?” Reiner asked, cuttin
