The Happiest Bride

"I'll clarify this to you again." He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at her intently. "Once mother leave for Canada for her medical attention, I'll give you the money and we leave it like that. Do you get me?" She looked up at him and looked at the piece of paper in front of her, after reading the contract she signed her singlehood away. ^*^*^*^*^* S O F I A "I can't believe you're getting married, darling." Mom stood behind me as I look at my reflection. I was happy doing this for Zander Collins, I mean... who wouldn't be? He's the man that every woman wish to be with, and I was also counted in every woman. I would not be surprised if one day someone would throw insults at me. "Are you happy with this Sofia?" I looked behind and saw my father sitting at my childhood bed, he looked like he wanted to stop the wedding. I nodded and smiled, even if this is a loveless marriage I couldn't help but to feel happy that there were billions of women out there but he chose me. I also know that this wouldn't last forever. But, I'm gonna grasp this time like he's gonna be my husband for the rest of our lives till death do us part. "Let's go, we wouldn't want your husband-to-be to s**t his pants." Dad said, they don't know about the agreement, because I'm sure that if they knew... Dad would never let me out of the house ever again. "Language honey." Mom glared at Dad and then the driver and wedding planner gently carried my veil from my back. Dad and Mom got in first then I climbed in with my heart beating so fast. "Are you nervous sweetie?" Mom took my hand and acknowledged my sweating hands. I nodded. "Don't think about this too much okay? I also experienced this when I was about to marry your father." Mom whispered, she didn't want to let dad know since his ego would boost. I chuckled and nodded and tried thinking of positive things. My heart felt like it was going out of my chest when I stand in front of the closed door chapels. The wedding planner would signal me and Dad when to start walking. When the doors opened, I could hear Marry Me by Jason Derulo. As Dad and I walk down the aisle, I looked around to see my friends and family smiling at me. I made eye contact with my groom who was handsome... no. He wasn't handsome, he was gorgeous, hot, sexy and most of all a hunk. I felt myself tearing up, I wish that while were in this marriage life we would both learn to love each other. 105 is the number that Comes to my head When I think of all the years I want to be with you Wake up every morning with You in my bed That's precisely what I plan to do As the song ended, I was now in front of him. Dad said a few words to him before handing my hand to Zander's arm. I glanced up at him to see a brief smile, my smile got broader and faced the priest. ^*^*^*^*^* " I, Zander Klein Collins, take you, Sofia Xia Pallis , to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part... Sofia, I know that... we still haven't got to know each other more from these past four months. B-but, I promise to be the best husband there is... We may have fights but I want to let you know that, I will never turn my back on you no matter what...I-I love you Sofia Xia Pallis Collins." I remember the day that he told me that once his Mother would leave for Canada we can gladly turn our backs to each other and pretend nothing hasn't ever happened. The priest gave me the mic which I gladly took and looked straight in his eyes, the past four months that we got to know each other was the best months of my life. Sure, he was cold... but he was sometimes sweet and thoughtful. " I, Sofia Xia Pallis , take you, Zander Klein Collins , to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part...Zander this past four months was and is the most unforgettable months in my whole life," he furrowed his eyebrows. When we wrote our vows, ours were almost exactly the same but I changed it last minute to the point that I want to bare my heart to his. "Sure you were the coldest person when I met you but as our relationship...deepened." I swallowed and continued. "You turned into the sweetest man in the world, there are times that we agree to disagree but we end it with some good talk... I know I'm not the most beautiful woman in this world but I'll tell you Mr. Zander Collins... I'm the happiest bride out there." I saw his eyes flicker something. "I love you so so much." Without waiting any second, I dropped the mic and went to his warmth and kissed him squarely in the lips. I could hear our audience gasping, then I heard the clapping of hands and continuous flickering of lights. His hands held my hips to prevent me from falling. I smiled into the kiss before breaking our kiss and looked at him. I faced the crowd and interlaced our fingers. "I'm now Mrs. Sofia Collins!"
