"Don't you look fetching sister of mine"I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her. I won't lie nor deny that she looks totally glorious in that wedding gown. Of course it'll, because it's expensive...and anything expensive fit perfectly on her.
"I could say the same about you Ciara".
"You must feel delighted Ciara"I stared has the makeup artist did a little touch up on her face.
"I certainly am"she sighed dreamily. I again rolled my eyes at her. She'd certainly be because she's marrying a money maker.
Ginger who sat on the couch in the far end of the room was busy giving sneakering sounds. She wasn't in the mood to be here but I had to force her to come with me, I need some more useful companion and she definitely was the one. My two cousins sat opposite Ciara and they kept on giggling like a fool. Yeah,she was busy sending texts to her husband to be, and his so called reply was giving a serious outbreak of hyena laughter from all three.
When I came here, I just got a glimpse of Nikator has he walked through the stairs, while I was busy following my mom into the kitchen. I wouldn't deny but even through the back of that man, you'd conclude of how gorgeous he's, how manly and tall that man is. All his cousin, aunt and uncle's... even grandparents were here,and let me be brief y'all there are all beautiful. It's like a family traits or something because all the men had that vibe and handsome aristocratic face and the ladies were all supper scenic. There curves, there face, there hair were all standing out than all the rest. They even outshined the bride, which was very outstanding.
The door opened and in walked a two legged woman, also know has my Mother. Dressed in a beautiful gown with the end tip of the dress outshining with different glittery colors. Her hair and makeup was definitely done to it's finest. She didn't even stare at me but breezed past me to her other daughter sitting over the big mirror.
"Oh my darling, beautiful princess. You're glorious in all dimension. Nikator would surely won't be able to keep is hands off you"she praises gaining a scoff from ginger.
"Thanks Mom. Am totally blessed to have such an amazing mother"she stated, already having a little tearing up moment.
They kept on passing sweet nothing words to one another and I was standing there looking at those two. Like seriously myself was dressed good, very good. Spending time to look amazing but didn't get any compliment from my mother.
"Okay, it's time" the wedding planner smiled and walked out of the room.
My two cousins, Jane and Florence helped Ciara with the tail of her gown has she went through the exit door of her room. I and ginger followed behind them feeling like an unwanted guest. The driver outside, which I came to know was Rowling opened the door for her and she gracefully entered the limo. The limo I tell you was really long and designed exquisitely.
My mom and my two cousins followed along inside the limo, while the rest followed through in the other car. It was about five cars following the limo with bikers side by side of the limo. The security I tell you was very tight. When we came to Nikator parents home, the number of bodyguard outside and inside were about thirty. Like what was the need for all those securities, but we talking about a wealthy man. Of course it'll be like that.
Ginger and I squeezed ourselves with three other bridesmaids. Ciara of course had about seven bride maid and one of my cousin, Jane was the maid of honor. Her only sister was just part of the guest. Ginger was clearly irritated about Ciara decision but I told her it doesn't matter.
It's better am not a part of this.
"Are you Ciara sister?"I turned to the voice and stared one of the bridesmaids giving me a confused look.
"Hmm, yeah. Yeah I am"I said with a little awkwardness.
"Then why aren't you in the limo with her. Apparently, all bride family related are supposed to join her"she folded her hands, waiting for me to speak.
I was about to answer but ginger beat me to it.
"She doesn't answer to you"she snarled at the busy body.
"Just saying. Unless you aren't really related"she grin along with the other girls.
My hand were folded in a tight grip, already having the feeling to bounce on her.
Ginger held my hand and told me to leave them be. They alone want some fight, which they weren't going to get from me.
Twenty minutes later, we got to the beautiful church. We all came out of the car and waited behind for Ciara to step out. I watched has my mom and cousins came out of the car and my dad coming out of the church and went straight to the limo. Sticking his head inside the limo and spoke to Ciara before stretching his hand out for her to take. Her beautiful well manicured nails laid on his hand, as she step out with bridesmaids helping with her gown and doing some touch up on her face.
"Gosh, do they wanna ruin her face than it already is. Like seriously if they add more makeup, I bet you nikator will run...even the children present here will want a performance from the bride lookalike clown"ginger gibe. I too was irritated by the fact she wanted to look to pretty, like isn't her beauty enough or what.
My sister sticked her hand in the arm of my father ready to walk in.
"Alright people, take position"the woman in charge of the wedding spoke out loud.
I and ginger found ourselves inside the church and let me tell you, it was picturesque. The way the glass with portrait on it was arranged was amazing, the church was more like a wedding reception. The priest was standing at the altar with the groom and his groomsmen, along with his best man. I swear the way Nikator wore that army general uniform was to another level. His hair was styled well, I too suck in my breath when I saw his face. Seeing all his pics on TV, billboard and magazine didn't do justice to the person am witnessing in the altar. The rest men were just too beautiful, for instance is best man was a glorious god with build. Were did all this men come from.
"Apparently, from God"ginger whispered to me, and like me she was staring.
We snap out of our gaze immediately the wedding recital came up. The little flower girl and the little man beside her were just too cute, every one were like 'awe' to those angels. Followed through was the bridesmaids who looked too sexy and the maid of honor, who look way too adorn. Every gaze then fixed towards the bride that stepped in with her father, my father whose smile was just too much. All five hundred eye were on them, until they reached the altar. Of course, my dad gave his words about not hurting her and I was like....he won't care has long has he benefits from your pocket, it doesn't matter.
We all took our seat has the ceremony began to match the two up. I could see with my sharp eyes, the way Ciara was smiling way to much. It felt like her cheek was going to burst from smiling a lot.
"Before I begin, like it's always said, if anyone here isn't aligned with the joining of this two beautiful couple should speak up or forever hold there tongue"he declared.
No one spoke and the priest nodded and continued.
"With this vow repeat after me"he directed it to Ciara.
"I, Ciara Angela Smith take you Nikator Michele Alexio to be my husband, my partner and my best friend. I vow to love you more each and every day of my life. I'll always be honest and patient with you. I vow to always be there when you need me the most, for poorer and richer till death do us apart" Ciara voice echoed in the might Hall of the church.
"With the honest part, I pity the groom"ginger whispered.
"And repeat after me Nikator".
"I, Nikator Michele Alexio take you Ciara Angela Smith to be my wife, my partner and my best friend. I vow to love you more each and everyday of my life. I'll always be honest and patient with you. I vow to always be there for when you need me the most,for poorer and richer till death do us apart"his deep authoritative voice boomed the church. And let me say it was just to mesmerizing, and enchanting. His voice exactly fit his face and body.
Damnit Annika! What is with the fantasy.
The two exchange there ring and smiled at each other.
"And with the power vested in me by the maker of the universe. I pronounce you husband and wife".
"You may now kiss the bride"the priest moved away has Nikator gracefully removed her veil and kissed her on her lips. It like watching a wrestler fighting with the lips. They only stopped when there were chuckle from the audience.
And there ladies and gents, my sissy was now married to the CEO, GENERAL, ARISTOCRAT Nikator Alexio.
