Chapter 62: Chapter 62
2 months later,
"Oh my God!, You are just so beautiful!" My mother exclaimed as she placed a diamond tiara on my head.
"And damn sexy too!" Annie said as she applied more make-up on my face.
I can't believe today's going to happen.
I'm getting married today and will be known as Mrs. Tristan.
"Oh! Come on! Don't spoil that pretty face with your tears," Annie pouted as she added more blusher on my face.
" I can't still believe this," I smiled.
"It's your wedding day and now you're Mrs. Tristan, so believe that, " Annie said as she applied neutral lipstick on my lips.
" Girls hurry up, we are supposed to be in the church now," My mother said as hurried out of the room.
" Just a minute! We're coming," Annie said as she placed the veil on my head.
"Yippee! My best friend is finally getting married today, " Annie squealed.
" Yours is coming next month, " I reminded her making her smile.
" I can't wait either, " She giggled.
I take a look at myself in the mirror and to be candid I was speechless.
"Is this me?" I murmured staring at myself in the mirror.
The wedding gown just looks perfectly fine, it was a mermaid gown that fitted tightly on my curves.
It was heavily adorned with cotton-style laces for a matte effect, these whimsical patterns effortlessly complement the shimmering beadwork throughout the design.
The laces shower over angled side cut out, a neutral, a french-lace inspired silhouette pops from beneath for a unique texture and negative space detail.
The soft beaded straps perfect the skinny plunge neckline and low v-back with an extra touch of shimmer, as the sheer elegantly train flows out from beneath the fitted silhouette in a scallop formation for an exquisite finish.
The wedding gown was just so perfect and amazing, it was ordered from Dubai.
"I can't wait to see Drake's reaction, you look so stunning!" Annie grinned behind me.
" Girls!!" My mum screamed as we hurriedly walked out of the room.
Two limousines were waiting for us already.
The white Benz limousine was well decorated with ribbons and an inscription of newly wedded written on the plate of the car.
" Oh my goodness! You're so beautiful!" My mother squealed as she hugged me tightly as few years dropped from her face.
"I can't believe this is my little Princess," My dad said hugging me.
" You look breathtaking and gorgeous," My dad complimented me making me blush a bit.
I got into the white Limousine with my Dad while my mum and Annie got into the black one.
The driver drove out of the compound as we made our way to the church.
I really can't wait to see Drake, I wasn't able to see him throughout yesterday and today.
My Dad placed his hands on mine and smiled brightly at me.
" I'm so happy for you my dear Princess, you've made us proud," He said smiling.
" Thanks, Dad," I smiled holding his hands.
Annie's Limousine was ahead of us so probably they would get to church before us.
Drake told me he had a surprise for me for our reception and I can't wait to know what it is.
*******
An hour later,
We got to Church and the door opened as my Dad offered me his hands which I took immediately.
I heard the announcement of the bride in the church as the piano made a melodious sound.
I walked down the aisle with my Dad everywhere Ohh!! And wow!!
"She's damn gorgeous," I heard someone said.
"Isn't it that assistant of his?" Another said.
"Wow, she's beautiful just take a look at her dress," Someone else said.
I walked gracefully as Annie helped me raised my gown behind me.
I searched for Drake at the front and my heart melted as he turned to face me, a huge grin on his face.
DRAKE POV.
I turned immediately to look at the love of my life as I became speechless when I saw.
She walked gracefully like an angel, my angel and she looked so perfect in that wedding gown that screamed sexily.
I become so emotional, as I tried battling with the tears that tried to escape from my eyes.
This was a dream come true, whoever thought a womanizer and cocky boss would become so submissive for a woman.
I just didn't deserve this, she's so perfect.
Every step she took left me dazzling.
"Chill man, you will have her all to yourself!" Luciano chuckled behind me making me glare at him.
He was my best man.
Finally, she got to where I was and she flashed me a bright smile as her dad handed her over to me.
I held her delicate hands passionately as we both smiled and faced the priest.
"Today marks the happiness of these two, may the good Lord be with you," The priest said as both the congregation and we said Amen.
"You may now say your vow," The priest said as I and Amanda faced each other.
I stared deep into her eyes and she smiled capturing my heart the more.
“My darling Amanda remember the very first day we met? From the moment I saw you, I knew, I just knew that you were The One, the one I MUST spend my life with. Our courtship has been the happiest period of my life because, in that time, you become not just my lover and companion, but also my best friend.
I want to be your lover, your companion, and your best friend for the rest of my life. I promise to love and cherish you, to keep you close and, with faithfulness, to be your support and help in times of need, to make you laugh and to hold you when you cry, and to always show you the respect and honor you so deserve until I close my eyes on this Earth for the very last time.”
“ Your beauty, heart, and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be. I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honoring you, being faithful to you, and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow.” I said deeply from the bottom of my heart as Amanda smiled while a tear dropped from her face.
"From this day on, I choose you, my beloved Drake, to be my dearest husband. To live with you and laugh with you; to stand by your side, and sleep in your arms; to be a joy to your heart and food for your soul; to bring out the best in you always, and, for you, to be the most that I can. I promise to laugh with you in good times, to struggle and support you in the bad times; to offer you solace you when you are downhearted; to wipe away your tears with my hands and my love; to share with you all my riches and honors; to play with you as much as I can until we grow old; and, still loving each other sweetly and gladly, until our lives shall come to an end.” Amanda said as I gazed at her smiling deeply at her words.
She raised her hand and wiped the tears on my face while the whole congregation clapped and awwwn!!.
" Now you may have your rings," The priest said as the ring bearer brought the ring forward.
I held her hand and slipped in the encrusted diamond ring on her soft delicate finger while she did the same to me also.
Everyone clapped as they cheered at us.
"Is there anyone who objects the joining of these two blessed people, please do so by raising your hand and tell us the reason," The priest said as everyone went silent?
' Well I didn't offend anyone and to hell with anyone who objects, I'm still going to marry her no one is changing that," I thought crazily in me.
"Since we have no objection, I hereby Join you by the special grace of God as both husband and wife and announce you as Mr. and Mrs. Tristan," The priest said smiling at us.
"You may now kiss the bride," The priest finally said, that was what I was waiting for before I unveiled Amanda and drew her by her waist closer to my body as my lips crashed on hers.
Everyone kept on clapping as I deepened the kiss the more, I broke the kiss immediately even though I didn't want to.
Amanda was all red as I held her hands and faced the congregation.
"That was so sweet!" Annie squealed as tears dropped from her face while Amanda watched her giggling.
I glanced at Amanda once more as she made this day the best and happiest day of my life
