Get Me Married

Chapter 10: The wedding

realization. “The gown of your dreams, the one you sketched. It’s the same gown…” she screamed and Tiffany’s mouth dropped. “Oh my gosh…” they both shrieked at the same time, almost bursting my ear drums. “How possible is this?” Tiana asked me as the both stood close to me. “I…I..I don’t know” I stuttered. “Jordan asked me to describe my dream wedding and send a sketch of the gown but I never knew he was going to bring it into existence, I….” I talked rapidly, going out of breath. “Whoaaaa…shhhhh” Tiana patted my shoulders and made me seat down on the chair facing the mirror. I took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to keep my nerves in check. “Mom Leona said Jordan had changed everything about the wedding, he changed the decorations, the food, the location and my gown” I paused and the feeling of appreciation soared in my heart, at the same time my cheeks turned pink. “I never knew he would replicate my dream gown” I added and suddenly couldn’t wait to see Jordan. “You are so lucky Genesis. You are living every girl’s dream right here, I feel like crying in happiness for you” Tiffany said and blinked rapidly, trying to push away the tears that clouded her eyes. “Why you are out there with your dream man and marriage…we will be here, missing you” she added and sniffed, then she blinked rapidly again so she wouldn’t spill a tear, that would have ruined her already made makeup. “Oh no…don’t do it” I pointed my fingers at her with a warning in my tone. “I can’t hold it…” “if you cry, I will cry damn it” I almost yelled as I bit back the tears that burned the back of my eyes. In the middle of that drama, my mom, dad and sister walked into the suit. “Blue eyes…” Ava screamed and ran to me with teary eyes. That did it, I knew I would need my makeup artist back in the room. JORDAN CHASE “Man, I can’t believe you are going to be married after all this years to the same woman” Kelvin, my best man and closest friend said for the one hundredth time. “You are lucky…what made her come back?” he asked and in my usual way I ignored and waited for him to answer the question himself. “Well I guess she loves you after all, or maybe you are just too lucky” he answered himself. “If not for one thing, I would have said your mom deceived you, but so far, she hadnt. She really brought Samantha here, she made her agree and the both of you would be married few minutes from now” he started again, but this time something snapped inside of me and the uneasiness I felt from the beginning of this marriage planning came back. Mom had informed me that Samantha Brandon had acknowledged the marriage and accepted the proposal but for some reason I didn’t feel happy about it. I kept feeling like something had gone wrong and knowing I couldn’t trust my mom, I decided to see Samantha myself. It wasn’t possible for some weird reason mom had, then we both started talking on phone and my uneasiness about everything subsided. But being in that room again, made me feel nervous and funny. I had this feeling in my guts that kept telling me I was making a mistake but how could it be possible when I was getting married to the only woman I could ever want to be married to. The door burst open and my mom walked in. The attendant immediately bowed their head in recognition and went ahead to finish up the last touches in my suit. “You look absolutely stunning ma’am” Kelvin complemented and my mom gave him a genuine smile. Which was weird because she was good at frightening people. “Well…it’s my son’s wedding after all” she beamed and I understood the reason she was smiling. It was my wedding and her dreams were finally coming through. At the thought of ‘dreams coming through’ I thought of Samantha and how happy she was going to be when she realized I made her dream come through as she made mine, by accepting to marry me made me beam inside. “You look dashing son” mom said to me at the exact moment the attendants finished and left the room. “Finally, my Jordan is going to get married” she said and came closer to me, accessing me from head to toe to be sure I looked perfect. “Is dad here?” I found myself asking and her smile disappeared. “He is on his way, he had something important to do but would be here before the wedding” she covered up for him and I looked away and groaned all the same. “Is she here yet?” I asked again, changing the topic. She smiled and dusted some particles of dust from my suit. “Yes..she arrived few minutes ago, the wedding will commence in a little while” she beamed. While I stared at her with the same expression I had from when she entered the room. “You know I love you a lot son” she
