Hayden closed his eyes and sighed as he wondered for the countless ti if this was the right thing to do. He didn’t know but he was about to find out very soon.
"Please be in your position, the bride will arrive soon as scheduled…" a staff mber instructed.
Hayden turned and nodded his head slightly in acknowledgent. By that ti all the guests, which consisted mostly of gang managers and senior mbers, had already taken their seat in an orderly fashion. The boss was seated right in front, and he had the biggest smile on his face as he roared with laughter at one of the mber’s jokes.
Hayden turned towards the podium where an elderly priest stood stiffly. It was clear that the old man was scared out of his dear mind and couldn’t wait to get this ordeal over and done with. Hayden chuckled as he thought that he felt the sa way. The decoration in the church turned out much better than he had expected.
The real thing matched the simulation photos almost exactly and he was sure that Malissa would like it.
"The bride should be arriving in a few minutes…" the team mber whispered from the side.
The host began entertaining the guests through the microphone before announcing that the bride will now make her entrance. Everyone in the church stood up from their seat and turned in anticipation towards the church’s doors where the bride was supposed to walk in. Hayden’s eyes also rested there as he waited anxiously for his bride to walk in through the door.
Slowly, the door opened, and silence took over the church as everyone held their breath in anticipation of the bride’s arrival. The band started playing the classical wedding march and people started clapping and cheering in excitent. Unlike the other people in the church, Hayden started to have a strange feeling about what was going on.
Loud cheers of joy quickly transford into shocked murmurs and whispers when the door opened to reveal a man dressed in black instead of the bride dressed in her white wedding dress.
Hayden’s eyes narrowed dangerously when he finally understood the unexplainable knot he felt in the pit of his stomach.
"Find her! All n, find Malissa now!" Hayden yelled loudly.
He didn’t need the man to tell him what was going on. He should have seen this coming…
…
**Soti before**
"We don’t have that much ti, so we better get started right away. Can you confirm the reference photos here for your make up and hair please?" the had stylist asked politely.
After sitting down in my designated chair, my eyes went to the make up and hair references that Lucy had chosen. Not knowing much about this stuff, I had left it in Lucy’s capable hands to recomnd the look that would fit with the wedding dress that Hayden got tailored for .
Lucy went ahead to show
the photos that she had selected. I had to say that she had very sophisticated tastes. The make-up tone she chose was centered around pink and gold while the hair was a clean up do that looked very modern yet classy at the sa ti.
"It looks great. Let’s go with this," I readily agreed.
"Alright. We’ll start working on your make-up and hair at the sa ti," the artist said.
I closed my eyes and let them do what they had to do with . Lucy stayed in the room to oversee the entire process and I had a feeling that Hayden was going through sothing very similar in his dressing room. I had a hard ti holding in my giggles when I thought of Hayden having to go through all this.
"This will take a few hours so please relax," the makeup artist said.
The hairstylist began tying my hair to put it up while the makeup artist started on building up layers of foundation onto my face. Surprisingly, I found the process relaxing and it helped
feel more at ease despite my initial nervousness. Everything seed ready to go and I had Lucy and her team to thank for that.
"You look absolute gorgeous!" Lucy exclaid when my hair and makeup was completed.
I turned to look at myself in the mirror and I was shocked at how beautified I was. The most amazing thing was that I still looked like
but in a more glowing princess vibe. The hair and makeup choices were definitely spot on.
"I think I’ll add a bit of blush here to your cheeks so that it shows more when you get your photos taken. With all the flash and stuff, the color could appear a little faded in the photos," the artist suggested professionally.
I just nodded in agreent because I didn’t know any better, so I had to trust the professionals. After they were done, the artists left, and Lucy and her other two team mbers were in the room.
"Next is putting on the dress. Don’t worry, we’ll help you put everything on. Please relax for now, this is your last chance to really relax before you have to carry the weight of your wedding dress on you," Lucy said with a bright smile.
That made sense…
I tried to take in deep breaths to calm myself. It’s finally happening. I still couldn’t quite believe it, but it was really happening…
"Are you nervous?" Lucy asked knowingly.
"A little…I guess…" I admitted shyly.
"It’s completely normal. Here, have so water first. You don’t want to your voice to sound hoarse when you say ’I do’, right?" Lucy teased while she offered
a glass of water.
"Thank you very much," I said politely as I took the glass from her.
Maybe it was the excitent and nervousness that I was feeling but I felt extrely thirsty. The mont that the water reached my lips, I couldn’t stop drinking and ended up drinking the entire glass while Lucy helped
relax by sharing so small talk of random topics to ease my mind. I listened to her while I drank the water.
She really was a pro at her job, and I knew that everything that she was doing was for my benefit.
