Chapter 111 - The Long Awaited Day

Finally, the day everyone had been waiting for arrived, after a sudden preparations which had made the vendors and wedding organizer quite overwhelmed by the requests from Fernando for a spectacular wedding party without the slightest mistake. 

The day that Fernando had been waiting for had finally come. That morning, the atmosphere at Fernando's house was already busy. The servants and people from the wedding organizer had decorated the mansion with various flowers around the stairs and the bridal room, which had been vacated since yesterday, because Fernando and Viona had moved to a hotel where they would vow their sacred promise in front of the priest. 

Even though the event started at ten in the morning, Viona had woken up at five o'clock. She could no longer sleep after waking up because she wanted to pee. She finally decided to wear a mask on her face to relax her face while waiting for the make-up artist to come to do her makeup. 

Fernando, who was in a different room from Viona, was enjoying his breakfast with his business partners, who had started arriving. He was actually really looking forward to meeting Viona. However he was prohibited by the organizer's staff. 

Not long after, the make-up artist finally came. He immediately put on make up on Viona's face carefully. Fernando's wedding would be witnessed by many people, so Viona was required to have a perfect appearance as the bride who would be the center of attention. Therefore, the makeup artist team tried their best to give the best results. 

Viona, who had a clean face without any black spots or freckles, made it easy for the make-up artist to do her makeup. After working with makeup for almost an hour, Viona's makeup was finally finished. The additional false eyelashes made her look like a different person, especially when she wore her wedding dress. Everyone who saw her would immediately praise her. 

"Oh I feel like my heart is about to fall off," Viona whispered softly to Tina, who she asked to be her bridesmaid, along with Jenni and Amina, who had just arrived last night after being picked up by Fernando from England. 

"Calm down, Doc, everything will be fine," replied Nurse Tina with a smile, trying to calm Viona.

"I'm scared, Tina," said Viona in a trembling tone. 

Nurse Tina smiled and gave Viona a glass of water. She knew that the beautiful doctor who was about to let go of her bachelorette was very nervous. Therefore, Nurse Tina tried to make Viona as relaxed as possible. 

The two adopted sisters of Viona also seemed to give encouragement and support to her beautiful sister. Jenni repeatedly wiped her tears when she saw Viona looking like a goddess in her wedding dress. Amina, who was actually more whiny and timid than Jenni, finally burst into tears because she saw Jenni was crying. 

"Jenni, stop crying, you make me want to cry too," Amina sobbed softly as she started to sob while trying to wipe Jenni's tears. Jenni nodded softly at Amina. She then walked over to Viona, who was sitting in front of the dressing table waiting to be called out. 

"Vio ... You must promise me one thing. Will you promise to be happy, and don't ever drop a single tear after the wedding?" Said Jenni while sitting on her knees on the floor leaning on Viona's thigh. 

"Yes, Jenn, I promise, pray for me, okay?" Viona said hoarsely, holding back her tears.

"Sure, Vio, I will pray for you that you will always be happy forever," Jenni replied with a sigh.

Viona seemed to hold back her tears so as not to fall over her face for the umpteenth time. She didn't want to have the makeup artist repeatedly repolish her make-up. 

The door to the Viona makeup room opened from the outside and a man from the wedding organizer team entered. 

"Come on, Miss Viona, the time has come," said a staff member, asking Viona to come out.

Hearing the words of the staff made Viona get up from the chair assisted by Nurse Tina who had been sitting beside her. Viona walked slowly towards the church entrance. Her beautiful face was already covered in a long transparent veil. 

The reporters immediately pointed their camera at Viona as soon as they saw the bride walking towards the church. The tail of Viona's wedding dress was tidied up by Jenni and Amina who had been walking behind Viona. 

Not too long afterwards, there was a sound of typical wedding music from the piano played by the church singer. The church door opened and Viona appeared from the outside, she walked gracefully by herself towards Fernando, who had not stopped smiling when he saw Viona enter the church. Fernando continued to smile as soon as Viona stepped into the church through the red carpet covered with flowers. 

His heart was beating faster when he saw the woman he had been loving all this time walking towards him wearing a very beautiful and elegant wedding dress. Viona, who was nervous, could only put on a big smile while clutching a wedding bouquet consisting of various kinds of flowers. 

The wedding bouquet consisted of hyacinth flowers which symbolized constancy, lily of the valley which symbolized happiness and the ultimate flower because this flower was always used in every royal royal wedding in England, namely the myrtle flower, which was considered the flower of love, marriage and also a symbol of lasting fertility, as well as astrantia flowers, which were Mrs. Maria's favorite flower. 

"You look so beautiful, Honey," said Fernando silently as he took Viona's hand, which reached out to where he was standing. 

"Thank you," Viona replied softly. 

"I am so lucky," said Fernando, with a big smile on his handsome face. 

Hearing Fernando's words made Viona's face flush red and that made her look even more beautiful. Soon the church atmosphere was quiet as the priest began to say the sacred promise that Fernando and Viona would follow. After being declared husband and wife by the priest, Fernando and Viona exchanged a phenomenal ring named Rfol by Fernando. After successfully putting the ring on Viona's finger, Fernando opened the veil that was worn by Viona slowly. He then kissed Viona's forehead which had been declared as his wife, followed by the sound of applause from the guests and witnesses who attended their sacred promise. 

Viona held her wedding bouquet as she greeted the guests who congratulated her. She didn't do the tradition of throwing bouquets like what brides do in general, because she wanted to keep the bouquet in her room after the event was over. 

Dozens of flashes from the reporter's camera were seen glistening at each other. They competed to capture the beautiful moment with their respective cameras. Viona's beautiful smile also grew when facing the camera, as did Fernando, who looked very happy to answer questions from the journalists. 

After conducting a short interview with the media crew, Fernando took Viona to the reception area, which was located on a luxury cruise ship owned by Fernando, which he deliberately bought for his wedding party. 

The invited guests who had been waiting on the ship cheered when they saw Fernando and Viona came. 

"I love you, my wife Viona,"said Fernando quietly as he wrapped his hand around Viona's waist.

"Love you to husband," Viona replied shyly. 

"I can't wait until tonight," Fernando whispered, teasing Viona.
