"Camilla, Camilla....." She turned away from the voice but another spoke still calling her name.
"Camilla, Camilla..." called her mother. She sprung up wide-eyed as she looked around.
Her mother, Rachel, and Ritah were sitting on the bed shouting her name.
"Why are you guys here?" Camilla frowned looking next to her noticing Chris wasn't there. "where is Chris?"
Rachel and Ritah laughed but her mother slapped her thigh.
"You can't forget such a day, it's your wedding day " her mother angrily said.
Her eyes widened, "I totally forgot about that, is it today?" she asked
"What...get up now you lazy girl " her mother pulled her up.
Camilla walked out of bed and followed her to the bathroom. "Mom where is Chris?" she asked.
"He left with Ray and the others to get ready too, now hurry up or we will be late," she said.
Lazily she took a bath and came out. She saw two familiar faces and smiled.
"You here, " she hugged the two girls. and they nodded. They turned to the door and pointed at their boss, "Boss is here too " one said.
Camilla laughed seeing Nica again, "Still looking youthful as always," he said walking up to Camilla.
She hugged him too, "Dont drench my coat with your wet hair" Nica smiled as he hugged her.
The girls got Camilla down and started drying her hair.
"So your wedding day, last time I saw you that rude man proposed to you, and now...." Nica looked at the wedding dress, "you're getting married so am going to do more than my best to make you look amazing "
Camilla nodded and laid back letting Nica and his two assistants do their work.
Her mother, Rachel, and Ritah used the other room to also get ready. They walked back into Camilla's room and stopped looking at her.
Nica smiled proudly, "Am happy you all look pleased, I guess the groom won't be disappointed either " he said.
The two girls helped Camilla put on her dress then her mother tearfully helped with her shoes.
"Let this be the beginning of your happy days and nothing should get in the way of your future starting from now," she said.
Camilla hugged her mother, "Mom don't worry my life from now on will be the best, and don't start crying or u will cry " she said.
"And then we will all cry " Rachel laughed.
"Shhh....you women should hold back your tears. My makeup might be waterproof but it will still get ruined if she cries " Nica frowned.
The doorbell rang and Ritah went to the door. Coming back in a rush, "Camilla it's time to go " she said.
Chris turned to his father, "Dad why am I feeling this way?" he said touching his chest.
His father laughed, "your nervous, Son. We all felt that way on our wedding day " he said turning to Camilla's father.
He nodded, "I almost passed out when Camilla's mother didn't come on time " he laughed.
Both men laughed, "But don't worry, I just talked to her mother, they are on the way " he said.
Chris sighed and fell back. The door opened and Ray walked in holding a bottle of champagne. Jack and Alfred were behind them each holding glasses.
"Let's have a toast to your successful wedding " he shouted.
The glasses were set on the table and the bottle opened. Everyone held a glass in their hand and shouted Chris and Camilla's names.
Been came in and scooped up his glass with a smile, "Let's go the priest is here and all the guests are seated " he said.
"And the bride?" Alfred asked.
"Camilla and the others are almost here too," he said.
They finished the bottle and then got up all smiles.
"I don't think it was wise to drink before the wedding " Chris's father laughed.
"I just thought it would sober us up " Ray giggled.
"Sober you up, look around you Ray " Alfred frowned...."They don't look anywhere too sober now," he said. It was only Alfred and Chris who were still in their right senses.
Even the soon to be a father in laws was light-headed now. But they heard to leave or they would be late.
The priest and the guests got up when the doors opened, Chris, Jack, and Ray walked up to the front.
He stood to the right and looked back to the now closed door.
The music started again and the doors opened, Chris felt his heart bounce the moment he saw the white dress move in. He didn't know that his breath was being held.
Everyone was turned to the entrance and Camilla and her father moved in.
Camilla's dress was a flower inspired off shoulder A shaped wedding dress. Her neck and ears were adored with a flower pattern diamond necklace and earrings. He could see her red lips and dark lashes moving with nervousness under her see-through long veil. Her hair had been held up by the diamond-filled crown. With two strands of her hair loosely on her face. She looked breathtaking and everyone who saw her agreed.
Rachel and Ritah walked closely behind her all smiles.
He blinked when they finally got in front of him. Her father passed Camilla's hand to him and he finally breathed. He held back his tears afraid it would make her cry too.
The priest started the wedding, everyone quietly listened as they said their vows.
Jack brought up the rings which they exchanged.
Camilla: With everyone we hold dear as our witness I vow to always love you,
Chris: To support and inspire you every single day of our life together,
Camilla: I choose to be by your side for better or worse,
Chris: To be with you in health and make sure you never get sick.
Camilla: Take care of you in sickness,
Chris: In poorer, I will work harder so that you and our child never lack.
Camilla: And in richer, I will spend all of it with you and him. she smiled seeing Chris's smile appear while the audience laughed.
Chris: promise that from today and onwards to never leave your side or our son
Camilla: Especially in times when I need someone to hug, and talk and in times when you need to make love I will be there. Her face blushed the moment the words left her lips. But Chris's hand tightened like he was even more pleased by what she had said.
She could hear little chuckles in the background again.
Chris: Even in death our souls shall never be separated.
Camilla: Cause from the day we met we were soulmates.
Chris: So I want you to wear this ring with love.
Camilla: Pride and joy cause from today I choose you.
Chris: To always make you my priority.
Their rings settled beautifully on their ring fingers.
Camilla looked into his eyes while he stared back as they both finished.
"I choose you to be mine, never leave your side or ever betray you. To be truthful, faithful, and always cherish and love you. And only you forever " they said.
He pulled away her veil and the tears he had been holding back came down nonstop.
"I can't.....believe it's happening " he cried. Camilla smiled holding his hand.
"Well it's happened, am now your wife love," she said sweetly.
Rachel motioned to the priest who seemed to have forgotten his role, he nodded and said.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife". "You may now kiss the bride," he said.
Camilla wiped away Chris's tears, "Come on love, you can now legally kiss me in public " she giggled with tears in he eyes.
Chris's hand slid to her waist Camilla moved closer and he bent down to her lips. He gently closed his eyes as his lips touched hers. Camilla opened herself to his tongue enjoying every moment of it. A tear escaped from the corner of her closed eyes while he softly kissed her.
Everyone got up clapping to the now newly wedding couple. Chris pulled away from the blushed Camilla.
They turned to their loved ones who were holding smiles and clapping.
They walked out of the church and took pictures.
Jack led them to the limousine that drove them to the hotel to rest before the reception.
Chris had not let go of Camilla's hand since they left the Church. She turned to him holding his chin
"what's bothering you on our special day?" she asked
He smiled as his eyes rested on her face, "You look amazing " he said.
Camilla chuckled, "I know I wanted you to be happy seeing me," she said.
"And I am," he said.
"You were so happy you cried " she giggled.
He nodded "I still can't believe your my wife now," he said.
She pulled him into a hug, "Love, you will have to believe it. Cause no matter what am not going anyway now" she said. Camilla knew he was sad cause his mother had not to been able to finally let go and attend their wedding.
His face nested in her neck, her scent calming him.
"Camilla Smith Huntsman, I love you " he muttered.
Camilla turned to his face looking down at his beautiful black eyes, "And I, Chris Huntsman love you too "
She kissed him.
Chris stayed in her arms till they reached the hotel.
