Get Me Married

Chapter 10: The wedding

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 said and I turned to her. She was going all emotional on me and I wasn’t ready for such drama. “Anything and everything I do for you is because of the love I have for you” she added and I turned away from her and looked straight to the mirror. “It’s your wedding today, don’t ruin it and know this….” “I wanted the best for you and still want the best for you” she paused and looked at my face while I remained focused on my image in the mirror. “The best is out there in a wedding dress, she is the one to give you what’s rightfully yours, she will give you the properties and something extra…” she spoke in parable and just when I turned back to her because of how confused her words sounded. She turned away and headed to the door. GENESIS “Dad…I think I am going to collapse” I whimpered behind the door as my arms intertwined with my dad’s arms. I had been feeling all jittery since we left the hotel to the location the wedding would be taking place, my nerves were loosing it and so was I. “Shhh, I am here, you won’t collapse” he assured me but that didn’t stop my anxiety attack. We stood behind a door, I didn’t take notice of where I was even because I was paying more attention in taking deep breaths and calming myself down. “Dad….” I whimpered again, I was beginning to sweat all over, I felt like running away from that venue, I had never been so nervous all my life. “Bluey….” He called smoothly. “We love you..” he said and that seemed to calm me down, I stared at him and warned myself not to cry again. He gave me a smile and kissed my forehead before a song rose from inside the building, startling me. It was the song, my intro, my marching in song. My nerves danced inside my body and the beat of my heart ran for miles. My dad covered my veil and took my right arm in his and gave me a reassuring smile before the giant door infront of me opened up, revealing a glass house. My heart skipped and completely slowed down as I stared at it.. A different door opened leading straight into the glass house. Cameras flashed immediately like thousands of fire flies but that didn’t get my attention. My dad threw a step and I threw mine, absent mindedly. We walked into the glass house that stretched and I paused. The flashes from the cameras intensified and the crowd stood up on their heels.
