Numerous cars were packed outside the mansion. The wedding planners had decorated everything on time. Alessandro was made to go first. He was driven by one of his drivers. And his male cousins drove behind him.
Alessio, Julian, Aleksandro, Yohannez, Juliano, Emeliano, Lucian, Martino and Luciano were his older and younger cousins; they were also his best men as well. And, all the men in the family resembled, from the oldest to the youngest. Their family was really an interesting one, they were rich and had everything they wanted in life.
Sandro was in the same car with Alessio, his younger cousin. Alessio was only 15, and he wasn't only Sandro's younger cousin, they were more; both male and female. Sandro was only 22, almost 23 in the next two months.
The rest of the men drove in their own cars, causing a traffic in town. They were a big and powerful family, and they were given the respect they deserved.
The RodrĂguez owned almost every store or building around the world, so, it was as if they ruled.
All the men in the family were in the Church already.
They loitered around, making sure everything was in order. Alessandro didn't bother, he was seated on a swing; under a tree. He scrolled through his phone, carefree.
Alessio, who was very fond of Sandro walked to him. Alessio despite being young, he knew something was wrong with his brother; because Sandro was not his normal self.
"Hermano (brother), are you okay? You don't look happy." Alessio asked Sandro.
"Yes I'm, why?" Sandro replied.
Alessio looked at his brother then shook his head and said, "You are not alright. You don't look happy, please tell me."
"Sio, do you want to get married? and to which type of woman, and at what age?" Sandro asked him.
Alessio scratched the back of his neck, he wanted to tell his brother that he had a girlfriend, whom he loved. But he didn't know how Sandro would react. He was just 15.
"Hermano, you know, I want to get married, even if I get the chance now. And I want to get married to a woman, just like your wife, exactly like her. I like your wife very much. She's very pretty, she's not a gold digger. She's simple, natural, in fact, everything about her is perfect. And oh, I want to get married at the age of 20, if only grandad would agree. You know, he's the one that decides whether we get married or not." Alessio mumbled.
Sandro looked at Alessio in disbelief. He didn't want to do anything to keep Sio wondering, so he didn't argue.
"If only you knew. I think you have a girlfriend, or anything closed to that. You can trust me. I started having sex at the age of 16, and I know you've done it before."
Sio was confused. Whatever Sandro said was true. Sio had sex just last month; his first time.
"Mhm, you're right. But, it was a mistake, I just wanted to know how it felt. You know Julia, my friend since I was little, she's my girlfriend. And she's the one I'd marry, grandad knows her parents, so I don't have to worry. Just a matter of about 5 years, and I'd settle." Sio said honestly.
"That's my boy. You're now a man, don't worry." Sandro mumbled. Sio brushed away his shyness and nervousness.
"Brothers, the bride is almost here. Sandro, you have to stand before the alter now. Your wife would join you in some couple of minutes." Luciano called out to Alessandro and Alessio.
"Congratulations big brother." Sio told Sandro, and they both walked inside the Church. All the men were seated, as the priest stood before them. The Priest, Camerillo was also a family member. He owned a lot of businesses, but, he managed to qualify as a Priest. He was Camillo's twin brother.
A big family it is.
In no time, Xaviera and the rest of the ladies arrived.
The butterflies in Xaviera's stomach were making her nervous. The chauffeur opened the door, and one of her maid of honors held the ending part of her dress as she came out. She stared at the Church as if it was a graveyard.
