Chapter 112 - 111

Today was a big day. It was the wedding of the year because Dimitri and Daisy took care of all the details so Aurora could concentrate on being the bride.

Because Daisy had been in charge, only the best people in the industry were invited to work on the wedding. From the caterers and florists to the makeup artists and hairdressers. 

Aurora had insisted she could do her own makeup, just like she had been taught. But Daisy wouldn't hear it, she was an Aristocratic bride, and she needed to be stunning. 

Enzo had been waiting for the festivities to begin, and he could not wait to see his mother. Dimitri kept on gushing about how this was her big day, and Enzo wanted to see what the celebration was all about. Plus, he also wanted to show off his suit and bowtie to his mother. 

"Mama, look how handsome," he said as he ran to her, trying to jump on her lap.

But his grandma stopped him, "Enzo, you can't jump on mama right now. We don't want to crush her dress."

"Mama is beautiful," he gazed at her and touched the pattern on her gown. 

"Aww.. thank you. You look very handsome yourself, my baby," she replied.

In Dimitri's room, the Aristocratic heirs congregated. 

"Aiden, will you look at that, you are everybody's best man," Blake smirked.

"What happened to you? Even Gabriel got himself a girlfriend, and he was supposed to hate women," Tristan marveled.

Aiden sniffed, "How you icebergs found such beautiful wives is beyond me. I was the gentleman, and yet I seem to repel women. I think the universe is against me."

"For sure, we know now that being a goody-two-shoes never gets you anywhere, it certainly didn't bring you any women," Dimitri added.

"Guys, guys, guys, we have time to give Aiden a hard time later. It's time," Gabriel said as he fetched the groom.

Mr. Russo was walking Aurora down the aisle, and you could see him beaming alongside his daughter, but Dimitri only had eyes for his bride.

Aurora had an ethereal glow about her, making her look like an angel, while Dimitri looked very hot and dangerous in his three-piece black suit.

"I know you have been taking care of her all this time, and I just ask you to continue doing so in the future," Mr. Rusoo said as he handed his daughter to his son-in-law.

"I will. Always and forever," Dimitri promised.

Dimitri could not help himself as he kissed her hand, "Sweetheart, you look extra gorgeous today. I can't wait to announce you are mine."

Aurora smiled,  "And you, my husband are too handsome for your own good."

Dimitri chuckled as the priest started the ceremony.

They exchanged their rings and got ready to say their handwritten vows.

"I am not the type of person who believes in sentimental things, but I knew the moment I saw you that I fell in love. Thank you for putting up with my stubborn personality and giving me the chance to show my love. Words fall short when it comes to describing how much I love you. I will give you and our son everything your heart desires, and I will never let you go. You are my love and my life," Dimitri declared for all the world to hear.

Aurora smiled, his declaration was so heartfelt that it moved her to tears.

"Dimitri, that chance encounter with you changed my fate forever. Our love is something people wish for in this life and never experience, yet here you are, living proof that it is possible. Thank you for loving me without any hesitation. Because of you, we have an adorable son, we found my family, and I got The best in-laws. Thank you for never letting go of me and our love. I vow to love you until we both grow old and grey.

They kissed each other passionately in front of their guests after declaring their love for each other.

When it was time to throw the bouquet, all the single unmarried women gathered nervously to catch it. But as fate would have it, Violet caught it without even trying. 

The flowers landed right in her hands. And suddenly, Gabriel was on his knees proposing with a ring in his hand.

"Violet, I love you very much, and every minute spent away from you feels like a lifetime. I want you to marry me so we can get started on our own forever," he said cockily as always. 

Violet giggled and stuck out her hand, used to his uncanny way of making her feel loved.

Before the wedding, Gabriel had met her mother. She was perplexed that someone as established and as rich as Gabriel was in love with her daughter and it might bring some difficulties if they continued to be together. But then Gabriel charmed her doubts away, and all her worries disappeared.

On the other side of the party, Ava had been forcing Tristan to take her pictures for the past hour, and according to Ava, he wasn't doing her pictures any justice.

"Tristan, none of my photos are good. Try taking it from a different angle," Ava complained. 

"Little one, we've been here for the past hour, and all your pictures look beautiful to me. I don't see any difference," He responded. 

She showed him her puppy dog eyes, "Please husband, take one more photo for me?" He was helpless against her when she did this cutesy begging with him. 

"Yay! I know my Tristan is the best," she kissed his cheeks and smiled, and that alone made it all worth it.

Blake and Sarah were having their own private conversation, "Blake this is a limited edition designer dress that I got especially for the wedding," she said.

"Really? But I don't think it's a nice dress," he said as he covered her in a coat.

"I don't want to wear this. This dress is meant to be shown to everyone," she removed the coat, but her husband held the lapels closed around her.

"But it's going to be cold, and I'm scared you might get sick," he replied, concerned in his voice.

She was annoyed, "Are you kidding me? It's so hot, and I refuse to wear your coat." She rolled her eyes, Blake was acting all protective, and she decided to ignore him.

"Baby...," he sweetly wooed her.

She sighed, "Okay, I know you don't like me wearing short backless dresses, but I like them. They look good on me." He just didn't want all the other men to ogle her, for Blake, every inch of Sarah's skin should only be for him.

"But baby…," he begged as he kissed her neck. 

"Okay, fine," she relented and wore his coat, and Blake smiled in triumph.

On the dance floor, Dimitri and Aurora were dancing to a very romantic song, "Sweetheart, I am so happy today," he planted a kiss on her forehead.

"So am I," she said as she laid her head on his chest.

"I'm glad. We will be leaving for a long honeymoon tomorrow, just you and me."

She lifted her head, "What about Enzo?" 

"We don't need to worry about him. His grandparents are already fighting over who he's going to stay with first. Then we have his two uncles that will take care of him as well. So we have it covered," he assured her.

"Okay," she smiled, "I'm excited."

Aiden felt left out when he looked around, and he saw that all his friends had someone they were spending the rest of their lives with. Because of his easy-going demeanor, everyone expected him to be the first to get hitched. So he vowed to find his own special woman just like they did.
