Chapter 178 - Preparations

A month had passed since brought Ji Ah home, and two weeks had passed since the twins and Shiwoo's birthday.

I have to admit, it was really fun.

We got the pony and race car just like they wanted, and just like Shiwoo predicted, Adriel got scarred and hasn't spoken about a pony since.

Ji Ah was growing more beautifully day by day, as well as her hair.

Shockingly we haven't spotted a single curl in her hair  up to now, which led me to believe that she might not have gotten any.

Her hair was already silky just like her dad's, but she was darker than the twins with my eyes. I guess that that was the only thing of his that she had, for she completely stole my face which was fair considering that the twins stole his, and his complexion.

She was absolutely beautiful and we were so obsessed with her, and the twins usual fight over her for Seoyeon wanted to play dolls, while Seo Jun wanted to play cars.

"She is mine!" they would scream, and she would silently watch as they did so, for she was a very unbothered baby, and only cried when hungry, or sleepy, or just needs a diaper change which is usually all at night.

I had to explain to them that she was only a month old and could not keep up, but they refused equally claiming her as theirs.

Another thing that had happened this past month was Adrian being annoyed with his hair since it was getting so long, and he hated combing his hair since it was so curly so we decided that it was time to take him to the barber.

I was a little sad when I saw his hair being buzzed off and faded, but I knew that it was for the best, and he liked it shorter.

We did leave a little at the top since we didn't think him being bald headed in such a cold climate would be safe, and he looked even more handsome, and just like his daddy.

Fast forward to where we are at right now, at one of out nightly wedding planning sessions.

You would think that since we have been doing this for a month we would be done by now, but nope. It's like were just getting started.

"I want a December wedding." I said to Shiwoo and he nodded.

"That would be perfect. Aria will almost be one so we don't have to worry about her as much."

"Yes exactly." I said smiling and he smiled as well, and we got back to our tablets.

It has been like this for a month.

I bathe the kids, he dresses and moisturizes the, I feed Ji Ah and put her to bed, and we come into our room, and plan our wedding.

Some nights go better than some, for we tend to argue a lot, or Ji Ah will just start crying for no reason.

We had finally come to an agreeance about something, and it felt nice

"So since it's a December wedding, then it will be a modern Korean wedding at the wedding hall."

"A wedding hall? How about a church in front of God?" I asked and he sighed.

"I'm not sure if you notice this Atalia, but my family are Ashiest. If we want them to come, and have a good time, a traditional wedding hall is the right way."

"But this is not about them. I know that you have notice, but my family is Christian and we get married in churches."

"Compromise please?" he asked and I sighed.

"Fine, but I get to choose the hall."

"See. We make such a good team." he said and smiled nodding.

"Well we are going to be bounded to each other for life in a couple months so we definitely should be."

"Agreed agreed. Mhmm. Oh by the way have you decided on a colour yet?" he asked and I rose a brow.

"I thought we already agreed to a rose gold and white wedding."

"Yeah, but you know, I thought that you were joking." he said and I scoffed

"Why would I be joking? You know that that is my favorite color. You even got me two rings with that color."

"You're right. You're absolutely right. Rose golf and white it is."

"No" I said sighing, "compromise like a team remember? I should have asked you what you wanted so, Mr Kim, what color would you like at your wedding?" I asked and he grinned widely.

"Well Miss Carter, I would love a purple and gold wedding. To stick with the traditions of not wearing bright colors that is."

"Okay. In the light of your traditions I guess. What else do I need to know about Korean weddings, before I plan anything else?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Well I guess the obvious that this is the East, and that it is different from Western weddings. One being that we will take pictures weeks before the wedding in out wedding attire and I can see you on the wedding day in your dress. Everyone will see you as they arrive for you will be on display to show how beautiful you are. Another things is that you will wear white down the aisle, but you will change for the reception into something more colorful i.e and hanbok, to pay our respects to our close family in a private room. Kim of like a final blessing on our wedding day. Any questions?"

"Yes. What is the wooden duck, and who is paying for the wedding?"

He chuckled at my question, but answered none the less, "the wooden ducks just symbolizes wishes for a long an happy marriage to put in simply, and my parents are paying for the wedding."

"Cool." I said nodding as my mind processed all this information.

I had no idea how much work it took to plan a wedding, especially a wedding of a culture that I am still learning about.

I wanted to pay homage to his ancestors and and traditions so I listened and asked for advice from the natives.

I never really asked him until today since I didn't want him to think that I knew nothing about him, and his people, but to be honest, I never thought that I would marry a Korean man, or get married at all, so I would usually space out o those conversations.

I wish I had paid attention to that class in year one.

I had been to Lia's wedding, so some of the things that he mentioned and what I had researched started to make sense, since I was not apart of the planning since her family did that.

I was really excited for our wedding, and was willing the clocks to tick faster, so that  could finally be wed to this wonderful man.

"So are you hungry?" he asked snapping me out of my daze.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Sure."

"Seaweed soup?" he teased ad I scoffed.

"Come on. Don't play. Bring me chicken."

"Ha ha. Okay." he laughed getting up to grab his coat.

"I'll pump while you're away. My boobs are heavy, and leaking."

"I'll come back quickly okay. I promise."

"Be careful."
