The next morning.
Everyone was busy preparing for the wedding that will happen in a few moments. Elders from both parties were busy doing their make-ups and fixing their attires while the younger ones rented makeup artists to help them.
Shane and her entourage also have two makeup artists for themselves, one is for the Shane, the bride, and the other is for the women inside the room.
Zoey declined the invitation of the makeup artists because she wants to do her own look. Being in another country on her own, Zoey learned to do everything by herself. She first curled her hair, then later she did her makeup.
After an hour of preparations, everyone inside the room was now ready to show off today's beauty.
Shane was wearing her bridal gown; it was a simple but elegant and classy white bridal gown, the details of her gown were very advanced and well-handmade. Given as she was the most stylish among her group of friends, Shane designed her own gown, she also participated in fabric cutting, sewing, and attaching the pearls and diamonds on her gown.
One word could only describe it, and it was Perfection.
Zoey, however, wore a very long with a fairy vibe and backless silver gown. Her shoulder-length hair was perfectly curved on her side, while her self-made makeup look was both flawless and natural looking for her skin. She managed to highlight her assets which were her skin, rosy cheeks, and her alluring lips.
The other bridesmaids were wearing the color themed golden gown that Shane designed.

Inside the groom's room, Leo was now having wedding jitters; he started to doubt if he really wanted to wed Shane, his high school dream girl. When Nickel noticed that he was staring motionless on the glass window of their room, he instantly knew that this was a wedding jitter. As he saw it before on his brother's wedding.
"So what now? Do you still want to continue?" Nickel patted his friend's shoulder then asked him if he still wanted to wed Shane.
"I want to, I really want too! But do you think, I can give her the life she currently lives? What if I can only give her a normal life compared to what her parents have given her?" His doubts were not because he was hesitating or doubting his love for Shane but the future that he might give to her.
"Have you ever talked about this?" Nickel was now leaning his body on the glass window and looked at his friend who was still in front of the window.
"Yes. I've asked her about it, that what if I can't give her the same lifestyle she is currently living." He paused for a moment trying to recall what she has said. "But what if she was just saying that it's okay even though it's not? What if she was comforting me that time??" Many questions started to flood his mind because of his self-doubts.
Soon Nickel stopped him by saying, "If you doubt yourself and doubt the love she has for you it would be better to cool off this wedding. What kind of man will she be wedded too? A man who doesn't have any confidence in himself, isn't it?" He mockingly said in front of Leo and then went to the vanity mirror and continued fixing his hair.
After some moments, Leo started to do jumping jacks and in-place jogging, he tried to calm his jittered heart and to clear his mind.

After all the preparations, the guests and the groom filled the garden prepared by the resort crew. The chairs used were all wooden benches with wigs all over it. A handmade flower arc was in front of the altar. White and red rose petals were scattered all over the place. Shane's favorite white tulips flowers were the main flower arrangement of the garden wedding.
Leo stood in front of the altar with his best man, Nickel, waiting for the bride to arrive.
It should be a happy moment for the groom but seeing this groom aptitude beside his best man, people start to witness how nervous he is. Nickel offered his Armani handkerchief to wipe his sweat from his face.
"The fuck dude! Relax!"
Standing in front of the altar, Nickel was also attracting attention. Ladies seated on the benches were whispering and asking themselves why they haven't seen this perfectly god made human being before.
Ladies on the Cortez family were also asking who was he, and what was his relationship with their cousin, Leo.
"Who is he? Why haven't I seen him before?", "Now I'm regretting not attending our family gatherings for the past three years. If only I knew that this handsome guy beside Kuya Leo, I would have agreed with Papa's suggestion to stay at their house and do an internship for a month into their company."
There were definitely no cures for regret.
Michael and America seated side by side. America was trying to hold his hand, but Michael was avoiding her moves. He started to become irritated from her attempts to hold his hand. She then got insecure with other couples around because they are all showing their affections with their partners unlike them who were only seated side by side with a little distance in between.
The music started to play; it was a piano and violin version of Canon in D. When everyone heard the songs first keys, they all keep silent and all their eyes focused on the end aisle.
Little boys and girls first entered and walked the aisle with their full smiles as they saw their parents capturing all their moves via video.
Second, to walk hand in hand where the primary and secondary sponsors. Zoey's Mom and Dad were sweetly taking their time. Mrs. Alcantara reminiscing her altar walkway back during their younger years. Soon she was expecting to see her son on the altar waiting for his bride and her daughter who will also have her own altar walk.
After the primary and secondary sponsors, came the bridesmaids and their escorts. Lisa, Sweet and Alfie were consecutively walking after each other with their escorts and muse.
After all of them found their seats, the aisle is now owned by the maid of honor herself, Zoey. Everyone who was there got mesmerized by the beauty walking the aisle.
Her fairy like vibe gown flew with the wind. Some of the guests thought that it was a Goddess descended from heaven to go with them for the wedding.
