Emerson pov

Why the hell am I so nervous? I thought to myself as I walk around the area where our wedding will be held.

We decided to get married after six months. Every preparation were maid by Love's best friends and my sister, Emerald. As per my mother's request, she and dad will be on the flower arrangements since she likes planting flowers. Everything that is flower related, she knew it. Love wanted her mother to do the dress so when we went to tell it to her, she practically jumped and cried.

"It is my honor to see my daughter walking down the aisle, wearing the dress I made for her." She said. "I'll make it sure that it will be the best." She added as Love hugs her mother.

"I know you're the best." Love replied.

She's such a good daughter.

"You're really nervous, son." My father said to me, bringing me back to reality. He slaps my back and shook his head. "You can do it." He added.

"Yes father. Thank you." I said as he gave me a hug.

"Let's go?" He asked as my mother approached us.

"You look handsome, my son." Mother said. She's wearing a cream gown and has gold designs and laces.

"You are. Let me say, incredible this day, mother." I said as I hug her.
"You should be reserving that for your bride."Mother teases me as she put her arms on mine. I smiled at her.

The door opens for me and my parents and we are greeted by the beautiful garden and at the background of it is the sea. It’s very enticing to see.

When the wind blows, the smell of the sea and flowers are very good.

"Mom, thank you. The flowers are very beautiful. You're really is the best." I whispered to my mother as we walk to the altar.

"You're welcome, son. Anytime." She replied.

As I got closer at the altar, my hands are shaking.

I am really really nervous as in so much. I think I'm sweating with the tears that continue to flow from my eyes.

"Can you please stop crying?" Celine scolded me as she wipes my tears from my face again.

"I'm sorry but I can't help it." I replied to her.
My parents are at my side. Celine is my maid of honor and Jem is Emerson's best man. Tony and Emerald as well as Venus and JC are my brides’ maids. They are very beautiful in their silver gowns.

"Can you please have some retouch for this woman here?" Celine asked to my makeup artist who is also there.

She applied foundation again and gave me a grin. "You're still beautiful but please let's reserve that cry later. I might have to run to you while you're walking down the aisle." She said to me before leaving. She's a nice woman. She and I will be friends in the future that are for sure.

"It’s our turn." Celine said to me as she started to enter the garden's door.
"Just tell me if you want to be a runaway bride." Dad said to me as I cling my arms to him and my mother smiles.

I chuckled. "If I run, Emerson would run too and I'm sure that he'll make every people on the planet go run for me." I replied to my father who gave me a good chuckle.

As we approached the now closed door, my heart keeps on beating harder than necessary.

I can do it.
I can do it.
I definitely can do it.

I repeat the mantra over and over again.

When the door opened, I heard the music shifted to wedding march. I saw a lot of people, our relatives and friends. Some are Emerson's associates and relatives. I even saw Seb and Megan who is carrying their child. I smiled to them and they were so shocked because of it.
I saw Grandy, Jean and Mrs. Wilson standing at the left side of the garden.

Why this walk is getting longer than necessary?

When I was getting closer at the altar, I saw Emerson, my man, my love.. He's wearing a white pair of tuxedo and white leathered shoes. He's hair is fixed in a rightful and handsome way. I never imagined that it’s possible for him to be more handsome. He manages to do it well.

Emerson shook my dad's hand and hugs my mother before my father handed my hands to him.

"You gotta be careful with her, she's fragile." My daddy said.

Emerson nodded and gave him a sweet smile. "I'll take care of her." He replied.

When we faced each other, I know, I'm crying. Actually it started even before the march.

"You look beautiful." Emerson said as he put his hand under the veil and wiped my eyes.

"Mother did great with my wedding gown." I replied to him. The wedding gown my mother designed is very simple but very detailed. From it’s sweetheart neckline down to the bottom. The lower part of the gown is ball like a princess' gown while the upper part is full of laces and crystals.
My mother also gave the earrings she used when she and dad got married.
"She is." Emerson replied to me, bringing me back to reality.




Jem pov
My two best of friends looks very happy and in love.
From the moment Love got nearer at the altar, Emerson couldn't take his eyes off of her. Yes I can see that, since I'm at his back. That's what best man's job.

When I saw my Celine who looks exquisite this day, I was also having a little plan on my mind. I suddenly want to marry her now. I chuckled to myself and shook my head.
The wedding ceremony started and every one kept silent.


Celine pov
Is it my first time to have a point of view? Yeah yea. I think so.
My bestfriend....
She's getting married now..
To the man she thought wouldn't love her.

Love pov
"As per the request of the best man and maid of honor. I know you'll be surprised by this but I'll let you say your own vows." The priest told us.
I look at Celine and she just gave me a grin and mouthed you can do it. I also look at Emerson but he shrugged.

"Emerson, you may now say your vow." The priest said.
When he reaches the microphone, I saw his handshakes a little. He coughs. "My hands are shaking, you see." He started as I gave him a grin and the guests also chuckled. "Now I know that this is the reason why my best man told me that I should think straight for this day because I don't know what will happen." He said, looking at Jem who is now grinning.

"The day I've proposed was the day I already told you everything that my heart desires. I should’ve reserved some of it for this day." Emerson said making the guests laugh again. "While you were walking slowly in the isle and while you're making me wait, I thought of something to say to you after the party but I'll say it to you now." He added, making me raise my eyebrows.
He looked at me again the eyes and sigh. "Thank you." He said in the most sincere voice I've ever heard from him. "For everything." He added, swallowing and blinking. "For showing me that money is nothing compared to a person's happiness. That love will find its way to a person you're destined for." Emerson said. "Even our supposed to be destiny was planned by me. I am still very thankful because you showed me that I'm capable of loving."He continued. "And I'm more thankful that it’s you I'm loving.I promise to love to you, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part.” He finally said. My tears. It’s like a faucet now. I smiled at him as he continues to wipe my cheeks. Jem passes him the ring and revealing a white gold ring that that has three small diamonds. The diamonds are princess cut that it made the ring more elegant but still simple.

"Love." The priest told me as he gave me the microphone.

My voice will crack. That's for sure. I'm not used to this.
Of course, it’s your first wedding. Make it your last. I say to myself.

"To the man I never thought I'll have." I started as my voice cracks. He remembered that because it’s something he used when he proposed. "From the moment you proposed until this day," I said pausing and trying to regain my voice because it’s cracking again as I was speaking. "It’s like a dream. A little girl and even a woman's dream." I said, sighing. I don't know if I can keep it up.

"We've been through a lot. Fight, cry and laugh. We experienced it all. But I'm glad we made it." I said between cracking voice. "It’s not easy but at least we came to this point. There are lots of hindrances and challenges that will come to us but I know, our foundation is strong enough to surpass those." I said to him.

"Until today, I didn't know that at the corner of a coffee shop, I'll find a man that will never get tired of me. The man that would understand everything in me even when I'm having mood swings. The man that would fight for me, the one who never gives up on me when I'm having a hard time with myself. The one that would cheer me up and would say that everything will be fine even if he's not physically there. The man that stalks me because he wanted me to be okay. The man who cares for my friends and family. A responsible one." I said, sighing and crying like a baby. " I know, people look at you like a cold hearted businessman but they're wrong but We can be here all day and I'll tell everyone how great of a person you are." I added.

"But above everything, I thank you for the love you give me. The love that I'm looking for years. The love that has no boundary and the love that says Emerson." I finally said as I put the ring on him. "I promise to love to you, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part." I said as I saw people wiping their own cheeks. I made them cry. I'll apologize to them later.

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said and I pulled Love to me. I can finally say my wife.

Love pov

Then I heard someone calling my name.
Love...
Love...
Wake up..
Sleepyhead..

When I open my eyes, I am greeted with the most beautiful eyes of Emerson. Wait? Is that ONLY a dream? I ask to myself. My eyes got bigger and Emerson got a confusing look.

"What? You're too shock of my handsome face?" He asked and he didn't receive any reply.

"Where are we?" I asked him looking around us.
"In my yacht? I carried you from the jet. We're going to Maldives, my wife." He said.

"Wife?" I asked him, he's now confused as ever. "That wasn't a dream?" I ask him.

"What dream?" He asks.

"Us... Getting married." I said to him and he smiled at me. He put my scattered hair at the back of my ear.

"You were dreaming of our wedding?" He asked and I nodded.

And he gave me a reassuring smile. "That wasn't a dream, baby. Look at those." He said pointing to the scattered wedding gown and tux. "And look at this." He said as he uncovered the sheet.

"What are you doing?" I exclaimed as I bring the sheet up to cover my naked body. "Don't go near me." I said as I cover myself more.

He chuckled and moves closer to me. I shook my head. Yes, I remembered last night. He move closer again to me and I move back.
I didn't know that it’s the edge of the bed until Emerson almost jump to catch me.

"Ughhhh!"

"Aaaahhhh.....!" We both exclaimed.

"Oh my gosh! Sorry." I said as our body fell on the floor. I heard a loud bang.

Emerson's back was on the floor making his body catches me from meeting the floor face to face.

"Sorry." I said as I touch his face and head. "I'm sorry Emerson. Do you feel pain?" I asked him as I kiss his forehead.

He nodded and my eyes got bigger. "Wait let me find an ice or something." I said but before I got up he pulled me to him.

"That's not necessary. I needed you more than ice." He said as he crashes his lips into mine.
