CHAPTER 11

It was Ralph and Nina's wedding day! Ralph stood at the altar, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The church was bathed in soft, golden light, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air. He couldn't believe that this day had finally arrived—the day he would marry the love of his life, Nina.

Nina, radiant in her white wedding gown, walked down the aisle, her eyes locked onto Ralph's. She looked like an angel sent from heaven, and every step she took brought her closer to him, filling him with an indescribable joy. Her smile was a beacon of happiness, and Ralph knew he was the luckiest man on Earth.

As Nina reached the altar, Ralph took her hand, and they exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. Their words were filled with emotion, and their friends and family watched with tears in their eyes. Ralph's voice trembled as he spoke, his heart overflowing with love for the woman standing beside him.

The priest pronounced them husband and wife, and Ralph kissed Nina with a passion he had never felt before. The congregation erupted into cheers and applause, celebrating the union of two souls deeply in love. It was a moment of pure bliss, and Ralph felt like he was floating on a cloud of happiness.

As the night wore on, Ralph couldn't help but steal glances at Nina. He couldn't wait for their wedding night, the moment he had been patiently waiting for.

While Ralph was still lost in thoughts as he stared at Nina, he heard someone whisper. "Ralph, my man, this is it! You're finally going to be intimate with your virgin wife tonight!" Ralph was curious to see who was speaking. It was Mark's friend who was grinning mischievously.

Chris, another friend of his, chuckled and added, "Yeah, Ralph, you've waited long enough. It's about time!"

Ralph's cheeks flushed crimson, and he shot his friends an embarrassed yet affectionate look. He knew that their comments were made in jest.

Finally, the reception drew to a close, and they made their way to their honeymoon suite. As they entered the suite, Ralph couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. This was the moment they had both been waiting for—the culmination of their love and commitment. He knew that their wedding night would be special in every way.

Nina smiled at him, her eyes filled with love and desire. As Nina began to undress, her delicate wedding gown falling to the floor, Ralph's heart raced with anticipation. He watched her with a mixture of awe and desire, unable to believe that she was finally his. She was more beautiful than he had ever imagined, and the love he felt for her was overwhelming.

They came together in a passionate embrace, their lips locked in a deep, yearning kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of all the love and desire they had held back—a kiss that promised the beginning of a new chapter in their lives as husband and wife.

As they slowly explored each other's bodies, Ralph couldn't help but feel a profound sense of connection and love. It was a moment that felt both sacred and powerful, a culmination of their commitment to each other.

But as the minutes turned into hours, something began to gnaw at the edges of Ralph's consciousness, a realization that filled him with confusion and doubt. He had expected to see something—a sign that would prove Nina's virginity. He was able to plunge into her easily. "Could he believe Nina?" He thought. She had told him that she had never had sex with any man, and their wedding night would be the first time she would have sex. She was 24 now, which meant that she hadn't had sex for 24 good years.

He navigated his way into her easily, so he looked out for the other sign. In his culture, there was an old tradition that involved the examination of the wedding bedsheet the morning after the wedding night. The presence of bloodstains on the sheet was often considered evidence of the bride's virginity. Ralph had never put much stock in such traditions, but he knew that Nina's family held them dear.

As the night deepened and their passion grew, Ralph's mind couldn't help but return to that old tradition. He hadn't seen any sign of blood, and it left him bewildered.

Nina noticed the change in his demeanor and paused, her eyes searching his with concern. "Ralph, is something bothering you?"

Ralph paused, his mind racing as he struggled to find the right words. He didn't want to hurt Nina or make her uncomfortable, but the doubt gnawed at him. "Nina," he began tentatively, "I noticed... there are no bloodstains on the sheet."

Nina's eyes widened in surprise, and she blushed deeply, her cheeks turning crimson. She looked away for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before finally meeting Ralph's gaze.

"Ralph, you know I do vigorous exercises, so I'm sure it has had some impact on my body, which is why you cannot see any blood stains." Nina defended. Ralph could not deny the fact that Nina engaged in vigorous exercise. No wonder; she had the perfect stature.

"But... but what about... well, never mind." Ralph wanted to make a certain remark that he noticed that Nina's vagina was not tight enough like that of a virgin, as he had expected it to be, but he decided to hold back his words. He didn't want her to hurt him, especially since tonight was the first night that the two of them would meet. He decided to trust her, even though it seemed difficult now.

"Ralph, there's no need to be bothered. Your newlywed has never had sex with anyone. You're the first person I would have sex with. So get rid of those thoughts." Nina came closer to Ralph, planting a kiss on his lips.
