Chapter 33: Wedding Day

Ricardo P.O.V

I smash the alarm clock when I hear it ringing and was about to fall asleep again but then I remembered that today is my wedding day so I quickly throw the blanket off me and head to the bathroom to shower. Then once I am done showering I dry myself with the towel and rap it around my waist. I did all the necessary things like washing my face and shaving.

Then I leave the bathroom to wear my black tuxedo. I check myself in the mirror and made sure everything is in place with my attire. When I am satisfied with my appearance I walk out of my room and head to the living room. The first person I see is Andre who is ready already. "Hey man, you ready for today. You're getting married," Andre, said when he sees me.

"Yeah I am though I have to admit I am a little nervous," I told him. "What do you have to be nervous about? I can see that both of you are in love," he assures me with a encouraging smile. "I know it's just- never mind," I didn't want to say what is bothering me but Andre saw right through me. "Man don't feel bad I know it's weird to marry Sapphire's sister but I am sure she would be happy that you are moving on and creating a new family for Dante," Andre said in soothing tone.

I couldn't say anything so I just nod my head and gave him a smile as he always know how to make me feel better. "There is the smile you are suppose to have on your wedding day. No one is suppose to be sad on this special day," he said while giving me a hug. "Thanks man you always know how to cheer me up," I said hugging him back.

"No problem what are friends for," he says grinning. I just smile at him and a few seconds later the rest of the guys came into the living room ready to go. "If everyone is ready lets go," I told the guys and all of them nod their head so I walk to the front door grabbing my keys and wallet. We all got in the FJ Cruiser since it can fit all of us and then I drive off to my wedding venue. We manage to reach Andre's vacation house within 30 minutes.



As soon as I switch off the engine I am out of the car locking it once everyone is out of the car. I made my way to the back garden seeing the house transform from being empty to it being filled with decorations and tables for the guest to eat. Scarlett and me decided to have our wedding reception inside Andre's house itself, as it will be easier for everyone.

This way the guest does not need to drive to the reception. Furthermore Scarlett wants this wedding to as private as possible. As reporters will definitely come when they find out I am getting married since I am quite famous in the business world. I made sure that no identified person will be able to attend the wedding. This made Scarlett more secure so I didn't mind doing it.

I don't to have Scarlett worrying about anything but the wedding, as today is special day for both of us. I know she has been dreaming for today for a while and I will do everything in my power to make sure that everything will be perfect. To occupy myself while I wait for the ceremony to start I help out anyone that needs help arranging last minute things while I hope everything is okay with Scarlett.

Scarlett P.O.V

Today has finally arrive. I am so excited that my mom had to scold me a few times to keep still so that she can put on my make up. I am literally bouncing in my seat with excitement and nervousness. I mean I am getting married today with a man that I have been dreaming of. "There all done," my mom announce as she turns my chair to face the mirror.

I gasp when I see myself in the mirror. My face looks flawless in the make up that my mom did. You couldn't even see the pimples on my forehead that refuse to disappear no matter what I use. I seriously feel so beautiful when I look myself in the mirror and I had to hold my tears when I see the proud look in my mom's eye as I didn't want to ruin the hard work my mom did on my make up.

I seriously am so lucky to have a mom who good in make up, as I don't have to hire someone to do it. I always let my mom make me up when I have a functions, as she knows how to make me look beautiful best. I got up from the chair and gave my mom a big hug and whispers, "thank you," in her ears. When I pull myself from my mom I can see her glistening.

"Mom please don't cry. If you cry I will cry too," I told her in a shaky voice. She nods her head and tries hard not to cry. "Okay it's time to get dress in your wedding dress," she said while grabbing the wedding dress that is hanging on the door.

I totally love my dress, as it is the wedding dress I have dream of. I fell in love with it at first sight but when I saw the price my heart drop. I was disappointed because it was so expensive so I went to try other dress and decided on this okay wedding dress but today when I arrive at the dressing room I see the dress that I fell in love with hanging on the door.



I was left speechless and my mom explain how Ricardo told her to get this dress no matter the price. I just fell in love with him more for doing his best to make me happy for this day. It took a few minutes to carefully put on the dress, as it is body fitting at the top and quite puffy at the bottom. My wedding dress is a tube top and I have to make sure that nothing comes out.

Once I am done wearing the wedding dress I look at the mirror and gasp as I seriously look like a princess. My hair is in a beautiful braid that is pin on my head with a few strands of hair framing my face. I feel like crying again but held it in and gave my mom a grateful smile. "Oh! My baby looks so beautiful today," my mom gush while fixing minor details on my hair.

I just gave her an indulging smile. "Oh! I almost forgot. Here you go," she says while putting a blue hair pin on my hair. "That is your something blue and now something new," she says when she finish putting the hair pin. She rummage her bag and pull out a box and when she open it I saw a beautiful broach. "Bethany bought this one for you," mom said putting it on my dress.

I didn't know what to say so I just look at the broach. When did Beth buy this beautiful broach? "And now for something old. This necklace was my mother's price possession," mom told me while carefully putting it around my neck. "There," mom says once she clip the necklace on. I turn to look at the mirror and the women I see in the mirror stun me speechless.

I couldn't believe I am staring at my reflection. The women I see in the mirror looks so breathtaking that it took a while for to snap out of it. I turn to my mom and went to hug her again. "Alright child. There is still something borrowed," mom says as she hugs me. I pull out of the hug and look at her as she lifts a gorgeous bracelet. "This is mine I am lending it to you for today," mom says.

She lifts my right hand and gently put the bracelet on. I look at the bracelet when it is clip on. I watch as it shines on my hand. "Oh mom! Thank you so much," I choke out holding her hands. "Your welcome. I would do anything for you. You know that," mom told me her lips trembling.

It was a second later when the door is open and Beth steps into the room. "Are you guys ready because its time to go-," Beth stop talking when she sees me. "Oh my god! You look so gorgeous right now," she says while trying not to cry, as she knows that if start crying I will start crying as well. "Thank you," I said. "Okay come on before I start bawling my eyes out," Beth announce.



I laugh when she said that and nod my head. My mom help me to walk until we reach the door that leads to the garden and I can see my dad standing by the door waiting for looking dashing in his tuxedo. He looks at me when he hears someone coming and his starts to glisten. "You look absolutely beautiful sweet heart," dad said. "Thank you and you look handsome dad," I told him laughing trying hard not to let tears come out and ruin the make up.

"Are you ready to get married?" dad asks me. I nod my head and grab his arm and face forward. Waiting until I hear the song before I start walking with my dad.

Ricardo P.O.V

I wait anxiously in front of the priest as I wait for Scarlett to appear. "Dude relax its not like Scarlett is not going to show up," Andre whispers to me. I look at him and nod my head trying to calm down. Andre can seriously see right through me every time I am troubled with something. I know what he said is true as Scarlett will be here but I cant help but be anxious.

I cant help worry about whether if she is okay, if something went wrong. But I relax a little when I hear the wedding song play on the speaker and my son who wanted to be the flower boy skipping down the aisle. I smile at him and watch as a huge smile blossoms in his face as he have throwing the flowers in the basket left and right. I chuckle at Dante's enthusiasm.

Next came the bride maids walking down the aisle one by one. Then finally I see Scarlett entering the aisle in her father's arm and I stop breathing. She looks absolutely beautiful. I couldn't find the words to describe her beauty. I have never seen someone look as beautiful as she does now walking down the aisle and as she gets closer I can see that she is blushing.

"Dude breath before you pass out. You are one lucky man," Andre whispers to me. Then did I realize that I am holding my breath for to long and release the breath I was holding. Andre is right I am seriously one lucky man to be able to find a women like her after what happen to my first love. Both of the women that I fell in love with are wonderful and kind women.



I am in awe of Scarlett right now and I gratefully grab her hands when her she reach the end of the aisle from her father's hands. I gave the man a gratified smile as he gives me his daughter's hand. He gave me a look that said to take care of his daughter well so I nod my head in agreement. I lead Scarlett until we are standing in front of the priest and facing each other.

"We are gathered here today to-," I tune out what the priest says and just focus on the beautiful angel that is standing in front of me who is going to be my wife. I still find it hard to believe that she has agreed to be my wife and spend the rest of our lives together. I didn't what I did to deserve to have two magnificent women as my partners.

"I love you," I mouth to her. She just gave me a shaky smile and I can see that she is trying not to cry. I so want to hug and kiss her right now but I have to wait until we say our I dos. I have been repeating my vows in my head these past few weeks so that I will not forget anything in my vows. "Mr. Ricardo you may recite your vow," the priest says breaking me from my thoughts.

I took a deep breath before I begin my vows. "Scarlett when you first entered my life I felt like the fate was playing a cruel joke with me as you look a lot like my ex-wife Sapphire who left me a few years back. But after the passing of Sapphire and I got the chance to know you better and find out what an amazing and kind women you are. I am honored that you have agreed to be my wife and spend the rest of your life with me. I couldn't have found a better women as my wife and as a mother to my son Dante and I promise to always be faithful to you. To protect and love you until my last breath," I release a breath when I finish speaking.

I see a tear drop from Scarlett's eyes when I finish my vow and I felt a lump form in my throat when I see that. I really could not find a women as beautiful and brilliant as her to be my wife and mother to my son. "Now Miss Jones please recite your vows," the priest told Scarlett. She looks directly in my eyes, while taking a deep breath before she recites her vows.

"When I first met you almost two years ago, I thought you were a cold person who is incapable to love. But after my sister passed away and your son Dante came into your life, I saw sides of you that shows you do have a heart. I watch how much you love and care for Dante and will do anything for him. Also as we got closer this past few months I find that you are a caring man and I fell in love with you more and more when you show that you really care for me. I couldn't find a man as caring and loving as you. I am glad that you ask me to marry you. I promise to stay faithful to you and love you for the rest of my life," she says.



She is still looking directly in my eyes so I know everything she says is from her heart. This time I felt a tear drop from my eyes but I didn't care as this women standing in front of me honestly loves me for who I am and not what things I can buy for her. "Do you Ricardo Giovanni take Scarlett Jones to be your lawfully wedded wife," the priest asks me and I answer with a clear, "I do."

"Do you Scarlett Jones take Ricardo Giovanni to be your lawfully wedded husband," the priest asks Scarlett. She answers with determination, "I do." I release the breath I was holding waiting for her answer. "You may now kiss the bride," the priest finally told me. I gingerly lifts her see through veil and gave her a kiss on her lips hearing the guest cheering and clapping.

"I now pronounce to you Mr. and Mrs. Giovanni," the priest announce to everyone. I keep looking at Scarlett thinking how lucky I am and thanking god for giving me a second chance at love.

Scarlett P.O.V

Ricardo and walk down the aisle with Dante between us to head to the reception, which is inside the house. I am officially Ricardo's wife and I as so ecstatic. I couldn't hold in my tears when I head Ricardo's vow to me. That was the most romantic a guy has ever told me. I feel so loved when he told me his vows. He seriously my dream man.

The reception is in full swing with people eating and dancing. I went around thanking the guest for coming and for their well wishes for my marriage. After I talk with everyone its time to cut the cake and of course Dante has to be there. Ricardo and me cut the cake together and I got blinded with all the flash light from all the different cameras that surrounds us.

I laugh when Dante impatiently asks for his piece cake. I cut quite a big portion of cake for him and put it on the plate then give the plate to him. He thanks me happily and went off to eat his cake on the table. I turn to Ricardo and get cake smash on my face. I blink looking at him in shock wondering did he seriously smash cake on my face like a child.

I knew it was him when I see him trying to look innocent so I grab a piece of cake that is already cut and quickly smashing it to his face. I laughing at his caked covered face. Which lead us to laugh at each other.



I didn't even know he was the type to play around like that. I found that I like how relax he is being with me. He is also being more open about himself, showing sides to him that I never knew about. So after the cutting the cake I we went to wash our faces and then we dance to our favorite song. I laid my head on his shoulder basking in his arms as he leads me around the dancing floor.

I am seriously a very bad dancer but dancing with him felt like I am floating around like a fairy. He made me feel so light as he effortlessly twirl me around. I am having the most fun time at my wedding and I couldn't ask for more. This has been the fairytale wedding and no reporters were here to ruin the moods with their questions and speculations.

The most magical time for me is when I was walking down the aisle and seeing Ricardo looking at me with love clear in his eyes made me so happy. I blush when I saw Ricardo standing by the priest looking so handsome in his black tuxedos. I couldn't even describe my happiness when the priest finally pronounce us as husband and wife.

The whole time the priest talk I was only focus on Ricardo. The man of my dreams standing in front of me telling me how much he loves me and promising me that he will love and protect me until his last breath. So there I was swaying with Ricardo hoping for brighter future for us and Dante.
