William is sitting on the couch in his aunt's house, watching Tv. However, in the background, there's just chaos around him; everyone is shouting, screaming, and rushing to do something.
"Did you tell the caters that it's a buffet service or a table service?" Mariam shouted from the kitchen.
"I told them that it was a table service," Boris yelled from the lounge, trying to polish his shoes, "Lily are the kids ready?"
William's aunt also came to join the festivities and help, "I'm cooking food, Boris. Hannah, can you look after your little sister." She said as she stirred the pot in the kitchen. Mariam is behind her, chopping vegetables.
"Why couldn't you order the Goddamn food? The Wedding starts at 7, and it's 3, and you two decided to cook now?" Said, Boris.
He polished his shoes and got up to see what was happening in the kitchen.
"I just wanted him to eat at home one last time. Is that too much to do?" Said, Mariam.
"You know she's right. Boris William will be going to his real home and busy with his life. At least let her cook his last meal at this house." Lily told Boris.
"Ah, for Fuck sake, do whatever you guys want," Boris said, giving up his cause. "EVERYONE! STOP! RIGHT! THERE!" Yelled Boris from the top of his lungs.
Everyone froze in their tracks, from the adults to the children.
"You guys have half an hour to complete the cooking and no one second more." Said Boris to Mariam and Lily. "Nathan, get ready in 10 minutes; you're going to the venue to see if the preparation is going smoothly."
"Yes, Father," Nathan replied.
"What is your name?" Boris said, pointing at a girl sitting on a sofa across from William.
"Nina, sir," Nina replied.
"You need to take William to get his makeup and hair done. Also, the dress is already delivered to the beauty parlor. Hannah, get dressed in 10 minutes. You're also going with William after eating. Everyone get ready." Boris yelled at the top of his lungs.
William sat there watching TV and not caring about anything. He was just happy that everyone was here.
After 20 minutes, Nathan stood at the front door, and Boris was right behind him. Both were dressed.
"We're going to the venue. Don't be late." Boris shouted as he left the house with Nathan.
"He's more agitated than I thought," Mariam told Lily.
"He's like that whenever he does something, and he would be more agitated now because of Williams's wedding," Lily replied.
Mariam and Lily put dishes on the table while Hannah took the food from the kitchen.
"Poor Nathan, he'll be hungry," Mariam said.
"I gave him a protein bar to get through," Lily replied. "Boris was going to tell him to go to the venue."
"Okay, everything is ready; let's eat now," said Hannah.
"She's just like her father," Lily said, kissing her daughter's forehead.
"William comes and eat," Mariam yelled out.
William came and sat on the table. Mariam and Lily sat beside him, while Nina and Hannah sat across from him.
"Everything looks nice," William said to his aunt and Lily.
"Now eat quickly, or your Uncle Boris might murder us all," said Mariam.
Hearing her, all laughed and started eating. William indulges in the taste of her aunt's cooking savoring every moment, and wonders when he will be back to eat her food.
Soon after finishing the food, William, Hammad, and Nina left for the beauty parlor to get William ready. While Lily and Mariam were left behind at the house.
"We also should've gone with them," said Lily in a sad voice.
"Don't I've booked a private artist to do our makeup," Mariam said, smirking and smiling. "I'll help you with the little ones, then we'll get ready.
On the other hand, Nathan was yelling at someone to get on with the decorations while Boris inspected the altar.
Everyone was doing everything they could to finish the work before the Wedding started. William chose an open location overlooking the sea to have his Wedding. The venue was decorated with beautiful pink flowers, while the altar was decorated with purple, blue, pink, and red roses.
In Harald's home, Philip got out of the shower with a towel around his hips. He dried himself made his hair, shaved then got in his room, where his neatly pressed suit was lying on the bed. William picked out the suite because Philip was busy with the office and didn't have a chance to decide. Hence, William decided to choose and gave instructions to his tailor, who already had his measurements to make his suit.
Philip looks sharp and stylish in his black tuxedo, perfectly tailored to fit his tall, lean frame. The jacket is made from a luxurious wool fabric and features satin lapels and buttons, giving it a sophisticated look. The jacket's slim fit design enhances his broad shoulders, making him look elegant and regal.
The tuxedo pants are made from the same wool fabric and feature a subtle stripe down the sides, adding a touch of detail to the classic black tuxedo. They fit snugly around his hips and thighs before tapering towards the ankles, completing the slim fit look.
Underneath the jacket, Philip wears a crisp white dress shirt with a winged collar, perfectly pressed and smooth. The shirt's French cuffs are secured with silver cufflinks, adding a touch of glam and sophistication to the overall look.
To complete the outfit, Philip wears a black bow tie made of luxurious silk that matches the satin lapels and buttons of the jacket. The bow tie perfectly ties the entire look together, making him look like the dapper and elegant groom on his wedding day.
Philip smiled when he saw his reflection in the mirror; he was happy because, in the next hour, he'll be with his wife on the honeymoon. He took out his phone and sent a message to William.
'Are you ready?'
'yes, just getting some finishing touched.' William replied.
'Are you ready?' William asked.
'Yes, I am.' Philip replied.
'Thank you for the suite.' said Philip.
'it is my pleasure. Meet you at the altar.' William replied.
Philip smiled and walked out to see his sister approaching his room.
"Good, you're ready," said Sarah. "Alex just got a call from William's uncle asking when he will leave."
"We'll leave in 10 minutes; the traffic will take 10 more minutes for us to arrive, so tell him we'll be there in 30 minutes," Philip said to his sister.
Sarah nodded in agreement and messaged Alex, who replied with thumbs-up.
"Is father alright?" Philip asked.
"Yes, he's taken his medicine, and the doctors cleared him to attend the wedding," Sarah replied.
"Okay, then tell everyone I'm waiting for everyone at the front door. I want everyone there in 10 minutes." Said, Philip.
Sarah left to tell others about this; Philip walked to his Father's room. He knocked on the door and heard, "come in."
Philip opened the door and saw his Father standing with a cane looking dapper.
"You look nice and well," said Philip.
"Yes, I'm looking quite good," Alphonso said, chuckling.
"We should get going," Philip said.
"Doctors told me that I might beat it," Alphonso replied.
Philip looked at him for a second, with many emotions running through his head.
"Really, that's good news." Said, Philip.
"Yes, we'll talk after your honeymoon," Alphonso replied.
They both went to the front door, where Alex and Henry were chatting. Henry and Alex stopped talking when they saw Alphonso.
"Where's your mom?" Philip asked Harald.
"She'll come separately with the rest of the family. They're waiting for my reply because they'll move when we move." Henry replied.
"Everything is ready; we'll need to start moving," Alex said.
"Okay, good," Philip replied, Patting his brother's shoulder.
In a moment, Sarah also arrived with some family. They all sat in the cars and started driving in unison.
...
All dolled up, William was sitting inside the limousine, with Nina and Hannah sitting beside him, respectively. William's stomach was filled with butterflies at the thought of Philip seeing him for the first time.
"Philip is arriving in 5 minutes, and almost all the guests have arrived," said Hannah looking at her phone. "We'll start moving when Philip and his family settle down."
"Are you nervous?" Nina asked William.
"On the contrary, I can't wait to get married." Said William smiling.
...
Philip and his family arrived at the venue. Boris and Mariam greeted them and gave them small packets filled with sweets to all the family members.
"Why don't you settle down and mingle around? William will be here in 10 minutes." Boris said to Philip. "Nathan, take them to their seats," Boris ordered Nathan.
Alex and Henry were carrying gifts, and Nathan ordered some servants to help them as he took them to their seats.
Sarah kissed Mariam's cheeks and asked, "how are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you?" Mariam asked in return.
"The bouquet is with the gifts; why don't you send someone to fetch it and give it to William," Sarah said.
"Okay, I'll send someone to get the bouquet," Mariam said.
Sarah left to mingle with the guest, and Mariam and Boris stood in the front waiting for William and others to arrive.
"You should give him away," said Boris.
"People will talk, Boris. I don't want William to worry, you do it, and I don't mind." Mariam replied, looking at the road.
"I don't care if people talk. You're his everything, and you'll give him away because William also wants this."
Mariam sighed and faced Boris, "Thank you for taking care of them."
"They were pests that needed to be taken care of," Boris said.
"They are here," Mariam told Boris, pointing at a white limousine and a black car filled with security following them.
William is arriving at his Wedding and will walk through the aisle to marry his love, Philip...
