Parents arrival: Both sets of parents were booked into the same hotel, minutes away from the church and hall, but Ria made sure they were on different floors. She introduced Ryan to them and as she guessed it they were delighted to meet him and her stepfather did try and get him to invest in one of his crazy schemes, which he declined.
The next day was the wedding rehearsal. Afterward, Ryan took them out to dinner where they all got to know each other. He also warned his parents to behave or they weren't allowed to go to the wedding. He was pleased to see they all got along, even Ria was overjoyed that her parents didn't start arguing with each other.
After dinner and visiting for a while they went back home where he handed her a black velvet box.
"What is this?" she asked, taking it from him.
"Just a little something for the woman I love. Go on, open it." When she opened it and he saw her eyes light up it warmed his heart, he liked spoiling her.
She takes out the diamond necklace. "It's so beautiful, but you shouldn't have."
Taking it out of her hand he goes behind her, placing it around her neck and doing it up. "I will be spoiling you till the day I die. I would love it if you wore this and the earrings I bought you tomorrow, at our wedding."
"I will, thank you and you don't have to buy me things. I love you, not what you can buy me. All I need is your undying love."
"You have that," he answered.
"Let's make love."
He grinned at her. "I thought you wanted to abstain from s£x tonight, something about tradition."
"I'm not really sure that's a tradition," she said as she unbuckled his belt and pulled down his zipper.

Wedding Day: **********
Ryan and Robbie went to Nelly's apartment to get ready, Ria, Nelly and her parents stayed with her. When she had on her gown and was standing with her mother and Nelly her father walked in.
"It's time to go to the church, but I'd like a moment alone with my daughter," he said to the others.
He cupped her face in his hands. "Ria, I just want to say how beautiful and happy you look. I know I haven't always been there for you but I do love you. I hope this man will keep you safe and happy."
"He will dad, he's a good man and we love each other."
"That's good, now let's get you to the church."
Ryan's eyes watered up when he saw his bride walking up the aisle towards him. When she got close and handed her flowers to Nelly he took her hands in his. "You look beautiful, this dress is stunning. I love you."
She blushed when she saw the love mixed with lust in his eyes and knew what he was thinking, that he couldn't wait to take it off her."I love you".
After the vows and pronounced man and wife they left the church and headed to the hall for the reception. The hall was decorated with all of her favorite flowers, red roses, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Even the cake had red roses on it. Pictures were taken, the meal eaten it was time for them to start the dance off as man and wife.
He held her in his arms, their hearts beating as one. Both of them had started off not believing in love but found it just the same. They planned on leaving the party and flying straight to Bora where they would be honeymooning for two weeks. He rented one of their honeymoon shacks away from the others. Saying their goodbyes to everyone they boarded the plane in their wedding attire.
Once they landed he took her straight to where they would be staying, lowering her onto the bed he stood over her, looking down at was now his wife as he started undressing. "Don't move, stay there and let me look at you before I remove your dress.
