"Guys.. If you're done with your chit-chatting. Then can you please come and toss the bouquet now? Don't forget that you have your reception party to attend after it." Amelia reminded them.
Hearing his daughter's words, Mr. Jones couldn't help but ask her in a teasing way, "Why are you getting so excited for the bouquet throw part all of sudden?
Are you hoping to catch it so that you can be the next one after them to get married with your lover boy Alonzo?"
This was enough to make everyone burst into laughter while the couple who had been teased mercilessly by their own father or father-in-law couldn't help but shied away.
Amelia had a completely red face while Alonzo too had a little bit blush painted on her cheeks.
"Come on, now! Don't tease them. It's true that the newlyweds really have to get ready for their reception party after it. So let's not waste anymore time now." Henry's mother said, making everyone agree with her.
"Yes, Vero.. Bring your dear hubby with you so we can finally get done with this custom." Neil's mother said while patting Veronica's shoulder.
Veronica smiled and wrapped her arms around Reuben as both of them walked towards the stairs outside while all the unmarried couples stood in a line to fight for the bouquet.
Louis's eyes narrowed seeing Myra and Jack joining them.
"Hey! Why are you guys here? Don't you dare the stand in this row. You have already snatched Willa's bouquet last time while that Emma or Jemma had Lucinda's bouquet…
So now give us also a chance now. Moreover, your wedding date has been also set after a month. So you don't have any work here. Shoo shoo.." Louis literally shooed them away from there, making Diana lower her eyes in shyness as everyone teased them while chuckling.
It was true that Jack and Myra too decided to marry after REUNIC couple's wedding. But as they didn't want such a big fat wedding because of Myra's father's incident, so they thought to keep it low and not to invite anyone else except their friends and families..
"Okay guys.. So are you ready?" Reuben asked his friends.
"Yes…!!" Everyone shouted in response, making them almost go deaf.
Veronica smiled at them and counted to three and then it finally fell on Amelia's hands, much to everyone's liking while Louis just stood there sulking like a kid.
"It's okay brother. You can try your luck in their wedding." Reuben teased his brother, pretending to feel pity on him.
"Hey, Alonzo! When are you going to marry then?" Louis asked impatiently, earning another round of laughter from everyone.
Alonzo glanced at Amelia who was blushing profusely and announced smilingly while holding her hand, "Actually, both Amy and I have decided to get married on the same day of my Myra and Jack's wedding. Only if none of our parents have any problem with it."
"We don't have any problem with this, Alonzo. In fact, we'll be more than happy." Alonzo's mother said.
"Yes. We too agree to that. Marrying off a brother and sister on same day with a pair of another brother and sister is really gonna be something to wait for." It was Andrew and Amelia's mother who said it.
After all of these congratulations and discussions, the couple finally went to their reserved suite which was obviously two different rooms much to Reuben's dismay and started to get ready for the reception...
-----
After an hour, Reuben knocked on Veronica's room who had just finished getting ready with the help of the make-up artists.
One of them approached the door and opened it. Reuben entered inside while all of them left the room, giving the couple their much needed alone time.
Veronica swirled around, sensing his presence and Reuben felt his whole world stopped at that moment his eyes fell on his wife..
Clad in a pinkish peach colour, V neck tulle gown which had wrapped her slim figure gorgeously, she was looking extremely beautiful..
It had a slit on her right leg, giving a full view of her milky white skin while those noodle straps were letting him look at those s.e.xy collarbone of hers which made Reuben's eyes darken involuntarily.
She had her hair tied in a half up-do, letting the rest of her silky hair fall on her back. She had put on a beautiful round shape earrings which had pearls and diamonds designed in a flower shape on it.
His eyes then travelled towards her neck and a big smile appeared on his lips instantly, seeing her wearing the same pendant which he had gifted her on their very first date.
Veronica also didn't forget to put on the wrist chain which was also his mother's gift to her when they went for shopping together. She had paired her dress with a peach colour high heels.
Her makeup was natural but what attracted Reuben more towards her, was that plump lips of hers which had been adorned with a dark rose pink lipstick...
While Reuben was checking her out, Veronica too took her sweet time to have a satisfied look over her husband.
Reuben was dressed in a dark peach colored checkered suit which was hugging his well sculpted body tightly.
He had worn the same watch which was her gift for him on their first anniversary. His shoes which were of a combination of brown and black, were shining brightly. While his hair was set perfectly with few of his hair strands falling on his forehead.
At this moment, Veronica didn't want anything more than to ravish him completely.
Both of their eyes finally locked with each other and Reuben took few steps to reach her.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Reuben whispered, "You are looking like an absolute diva, wifey."
Veronica too encircled her arms around Reuben's neck and muttered, "You too are looking like a handsome hunk, hubby."
Both of them smiled at each other's compliment and soon their faces leaned towards each other…
