*A week later*
"Darling, you are stunning, don't be nervous, c'mere!" Britney Walsh pulled me to a hug. I hugged her back.
"Am sure your parents are watching you over there darling, they must be very happy for you.." she added. Despite everything that happened, I feel a bit relieved to know that the Walsh were very polite and warm. They did not made me feel unwanted or low. They are nothing like my uncle's family. Sometimes I feel glad I have them.
"You ready? I'll make my way inside first, you can go inside if you're ready okay.." she said before leaving the car.
I took a deep breath before I stepped out of the car and entered the church, made my way down the aisle. Everyone is turning to look at me. I saw Jayden wearing a classic black suit, he look dazzling as always. He looked at me, and smiled brightly.

The moment the door was open, I knew that she was coming. Her appearance took everyone's breathe away. I must admit that she look captivating in that ivory dress. Her smile lights up the hearts of everyone here. That is my Avaizela, my wife. As she comes closer, take her hand and lead her to the altar and we face each other.
"Now, we will begin..Aviazela?"
"I, Avaizela take you, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.."
"Jayden?"
"I, Jayden, take you to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part..."
"Here, I pronounce you as husband and wife, you may now, exchange the ring..."
I take her hand and put the ring on her before I kiss her forehead. I choose to kiss her forehead instead. She seems surprised by it by she smile at me and move her mouth as like she was saying 'thank you'. I know that a kiss may be too much for her and I respect that.

*The reception*
We both went to greet all the guests when suddenly, I saw some familiar figures approach us, its Ivy and Alex!
"Hello cousin,congratulations. Oh by the way, I won't be long, I just want to invite you myself to come to the new CEO celebration ceremony. After all, you're family. Oh as you can see, I'm the new CEO.Hahaha" she laughed proudly.
I clenched my hands, I want to say something but I remain silent, glaring at her. Jayden put his hand on my back.
"I am sure, we will be there, after all we're family.." he put a fade smile on her face and look at me. I understand the meaning of it and not to cause a scene.

"I am not sleeping here, not with you! I can't believe this, why should everyone stay a night here!"
"What? Is it wrong for us to actually sleep together? It's our wedding night wifey" I sit beside her, and whisper in her ear. This woman is so funny sometimes.
"Stay away from me, all I'll make you regret it!" she get up and retreat.
I then get close to her, teasing her more. "What? What would you do to me Mrs.Walsh? I'm curious."
She ran to the bathroom, still in her dress and locked it from the inside. I cannot help but chuckle by her action. Not done teasing her I knocked on the door "Hey, wife, come here?" I chuckle. I shook my head and sat on the couch waiting for her next move.
Fifteen minutes later, she was not coming out from the bathroom, I decided to end the joke and knocked again.
"Hey, come out now, I'm just joking, you can sleep on the bed and I'll take the couch".
But, there still no reply from the inside, so I decided to open the door with the key.
"Hey..."
When I open the door, I found her already doze off, leaning her head beside the bathtub. I chuckle. She is dumb and cute. I tried to wake her up but failed so I carried her to the bed and I settle down on the couch.
