"I want you to get ready... We will take off tomorrow, after the wedding," he muttered unhurriedly while his gaze was fixed on hers and Vivian rolled her eyes with a scoff.
"I am not going anywhere with you, Matt... Leave me alone." She sighed exasperatedly while trying to push him away effortlessly.
"Then I guess, we'll have to do it the hard way," Matt whispered with a smirk and Vivian gasped softly with widened eyes as he suddenly pulled her closer.
"Matt__ Mmmm." Before she could register anything, his lips suddenly landed on hers and she bit hard on his lower lips, however, the guy didn't release her.
Her chest heaved up and down and her heart thumped rapidly while she stood transfixed in one spot as the guy continued kissing her deeply. And after a long time, Matt slowly pulled away from her and chuckled softly while wiping the small blood away from his lip where she had bitten.
He stared into her glossy eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, Beauty... I won't treat you like the other girls, we're on the same boat... You can do whatever you want, but you have to follow me," he muttered slowly while tracing his fingers on her wet lips then pecked her again and started walking away.
Vivian watched the guy's back in a daze as he skipped toward the other guys who were drinking loudly.
Her hands subconsciously wandered to her lips and she broke out of her trance after some seconds then chuckled sadly before walking back into the house.

__ The Next Day __
Glass vases that contained flower bouquets were neatly placed at the center of the several round tables which were covered in white table clothes that were distributed widely across the flower garden.
The sound of waterfalls combined with the happy chatters of the guests who were sitting on the many chairs and the soft music playing inside the garden added more to the blissful atmosphere in the vast garden area.
And everyone was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the brides as their happy gazes were fixed on the grooms who were gorgeously dressed in matching white suits and were already standing elegantly in front of the wedding officiant.
Sitting on the chairs were several guests who were mostly close relatives from the City.
Ken's parents and grandparents, Jack's parents, and Mum Sara who was also brought here yesterday were all sitting at the front tables. and you could notice a brim of tears in the old woman's eyes.
The rest of the people were mostly the grooms' maternal relatives who lives here in City X, then the grooms' parents and Clara's parents who were also sitting in the front row.
Lily, Lucy, Gina, and Kelly were sitting at the same table and all dressed in bridesmaids' clothing including Vivian who was silently sitting alone at a separate table and slowly sipping a juice.
Very soon, all the guests have arrived while the servants who were serving drinks on trays and were also dressed beautifully for this occasion, all walked to the sides and stood quietly as the soft music slowly changed into a different one.
Everyone turned their attentions from the grooms and they were now staring excitedly at the brides who were slowly walking toward the stage with white flour bouquets in their hands which matched their long white gowns that were flowing down the green grass, like streams of water.
The white diamonds that were decorated perfectly on the bodice of the gown which hugged their figures perfectly, dazzled brightly against the bright light. And the transparent veils which were covering their long hairs danced flawlessly with the soft morning breeze.
And the grooms whose soft gazes were fixed on the brides sighed happily. Zach tried to suppress another yawn while he chuckled softly.
And Carl also covered his mouth, as a yawn suddenly overtook him. He thought back to the countless drinks they had yesterday night and he sighed inside while regretting ever agreeing to the guys' ideas of grooms shower.
As they were all wasted last night and had to be woken up very early this morning.
The atmosphere was serene as the soft music continued slowly and very soon, each bride was standing in front of her groom.
Everyone watched the couples with soft smiles on their faces and there was pin-drop silence in the place except for the mellifluous sound of the waterfall as the wedding officiant started reciting his lines.
Soon after, the wedding vows were exchanged and everyone watched happily as the couple exchanged rings and kissed passionately on stage.
Cheers and whistles filled the whole mansion and the photographers who were also invited, rapidly clicked their cameras, without missing any moment.
Although the wedding was a small one, everyone marveled at how so in love the couples were as the brides' tears kept flowing down rapidly and they could also notice the brim of tears in the grooms' eyes while they happily gazed into each other's eyes as the officiant pronounced them husbands and wives.
After the wedding officiant was done, everyone stood up from their chairs then started walking toward the newlyweds with wide smiles and happily congratulated them.
Jack and Ken who were both dressed in matching groomsmen's suits happily walked forward and also offered their words of congratulations.
"Are you okay?" Carl glanced down softly at his wife who was clung tightly beside him as she held his arm for support.
"Yeah..." Clara slowly nodded with a soft smile then turned to the couple who was slowly approaching them with smiles.
"Mum, Dad," She whispered with teary eyes and instantly wrapped her arms around her mother who was slowly wiping her tears.
They hugged each other for several seconds while sobbing happily then finally broke away and Clara turned to her father then also hugged him.
The middle-aged man sniffed back his tears with a soft chuckle and slightly patted her back. "You have always been a strong child Clara... I know you would overcome every obstacle that comes your way... Thank you for not giving up and coming back to us," he whispered with a deep sigh and listened to the girl's silent sobs.
"Yes, Dad... Thank you for taking very good care of me... Thank you for everything..." Clara whispered back with a sniff and after he released her from the hug she slowly glanced around and softly muttered, "Where's grandma?"
