Grace's ring was rose gold while Hunter's was silver. Their designs were matching. They were both beautiful. First, Hunter picked up the ring. As he took her hand, a lot of emotions went in both of their eyes as they stared at each other.
And finally, he slid in on her ring finger. He clenched her hands subconsciously and then let go. Grace also picked up his ring and slid it on his ring finger without looking at him. But she could feel his gaze over her.
Lily left and she looked up. Her heartbeats went up a little bit. The priest spoke.
" Now you may kiss the bride."
Both of their hearts were beating fast. They both never kissed someone. Grace never even dated someone. While Hunter dated several girls but all for show. He just wanted to piss everyone off. At that time he was in a rebellious state. But he wasn't ever interested in anyone so he never kissed those girls.
Grace was still a little nervous deep in her heart. She wondered if she should give away her first kiss just like that but she also knew it was a bit late to think that. However, she didn't feel as reluctant as she thought she would.
Slowly, Hunter approached her. As he got closer, her eyelashes fluttered and she closed her eyes.
The sun was setting and the sky was a really beautiful shade of pink. Everything was so beautiful and perfect that looking at them would make one get high on drinks. It was addictively beautiful.
Warm and romantic vibes filled the whole beach as everyone felt like indulging in that moment when she felt it. An electric sensation from her lips that she never felt before. It was a novel feeling. She didn't hate it. She was dazed.
Her lips felt warm and it felt good but her thoughts were messy and she was confused. Before she could mess up her mind, the sensation disappeared. A warm and romantic atmosphere was there in the air as she opened her eyes.
Her gaze met his. In the cheers of the people, she could feel his burning gaze on her. She stared back for a while until she was disturbed by the people congratulating them.
After greeting their families and hearing their congratulations, greeted some other guests. Then they were led to sit down in front of the stage.
They didn't have much time to interact with each other or think about other things as they were constantly greeting the guest. They finally had time to rest. As they sat side by side, they heard someone speaking from the mike.
" Now, the bride's little sister, Lily Ashley, will perform a song for her sister. Please welcome her with applause." It was Lily's friend.
Grace was surprised. She knew nothing about this. When she saw her sister come up on stage, Her surprise faded and love filled her heart. A smile swept up her face and her eyes never left her sister.
Lily went up on the stage. Two friends accompanied her. One was playing the guitar while the other played the violin. And she played the piano.
And then she sang the song 'Call Your Sister' by Taylor Edwards. However, the lyrics were a bit altered.
" You were only eight when I came around
You had to make some room for the new girl in town
Homecoming queen didn't know her crown
Would be a hand me down
Kinda broke my heart to see yaa moving out so far
Kinda made me scared I would be replaced
But I didn't know how much I would hate
You being far away...
Grown-ups world is tough
So I hope you always know
You can call your little sister
When it feels like no one understands
I'll be your secret keeper
When you can't tell mom or trust your friends
I'll laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry
I'll stay up all night and listen
If you ever need her or just miss her
You can call little your sister... "
It was a beautiful song. Lily's voice was very beautiful and soft. It was a sweet voice of a little sister. Grace loves her family a lot but even her family had rarely seen her cry. At that moment, Grace's eyes went red as she heard her little sister's voice. She had never heard the song before but she really liked the lyrics.
She used all her might to stop herself from crying. A smile swept up on her tearful face as she looked at her sister. Lily looked back at her with red and sad eyes. Her heart was unwilling to let go of her sister but she knew she had to. She smiled. It was happy yet sad and finally ascended down the stage.
She didn't even look at her sister and went away quickly. She was scared that she won't be able to control herself and cry which would make a scene. It was a joyous occasion and she didn't want to turn it into a sad one.
Grace was worried and looked around. She was searching for her mother. She was the bride and couldn't leave yet. Hunter witnessed everything and felt a warm feeling when he saw her getting emotional and worried. He asked her.
" Your mother's there. In the corner. She is talking with the priest."
Grace was looking for her mother when she heard him. She was a bit surprised that he knew she was looking was her mother. She looked at him for a moment and then quickly thanked him.
" Thank you."
Then she turned back and looked at her mother. She didn't have her phone to call her and was getting anxious when she heard him again.
" I have my phone. Do you want to call?"
" Yes, thank you." Grace quickly called her mother.
