Jay's POV
I was in the room while the makeup artist applied a little blush to my cheeks. I had simple makeup on, but it looked very good.
I was thinking about what had happened that day…
What was she going to ask about?
"Ma'am, it's done," the makeup artist said.
As she spoke, I got up from the chair and looked at myself in the mirror.
A soft blush on my cheeks, lip tint on my lips, and just a touch of embellishment.
My gown was shining. The pearls and diamonds embedded in the dress made it look even more beautiful…
Looking at myself in the mirror, it didn't feel like I was going to get married today. There was a strange heaviness in my heart.
Now, I was alone in the room when Honey came in with Ella.
"Wow, Jay, you're looking really beautiful," Honey commented.
"Really, you're so pretty," Ella said.
"What happened? Are you nervous?" Honey asked.
"Hmm, yeah. I don't know what to do or what I should say there," I replied.
"Just don't worry, Jay," she said.
"By the way, Jay, you're looking a little
different," Ella commented.
Just then, Mumma and Tita came in.
"You guys are talking here? We have to leave, or else we'll be late," Mumma said.
( In the lobby )
The entrance door was really large. I was standing outside the door, and music could be heard coming from inside.
I think it was a version of "Perfect" playing. The melody felt like it was meant just for us…
"I found a love for me"
I was quietly listening to the music, ignoring everything that was happening around me.
"Oh, darling, just dive right in and follow my lead"
Just then, the large golden doors opened. My hand was folded around Kuya's arm, and I held a bouquet in my other hand.
Music was the only thing I could hear as it played softly in the background, and I found myself adoring my would-be husband, standing at the end of the aisle…
In a perfectly tailored black-and-white suit, he looked flawless and adorable…
Flowers of different colours lined both sides of the red carpet aisle.
Sparkles and white fog spread from hidden mechanisms.
Candles were placed everywhere, making it look like a dream, while soft golden lights glowed all around.
Only the lights on him we're he was standing.
Keifer's POV
The music was like ....
' well I found a girl, beautiful and sweet'
Hearing that music felt like I was explaining to us about our own moments ...
When the door opened, she was there, my queen, looking like heaven ...
'oh I never knew you were the someone waiting for me'
She was coming, taking steps slowly forward with Angelo.
Adoring her, seeing her this time seemed like I had got everything.
' cause we were just kids when we fell in love'
Many years have passed, living with her, watching her, being with her and don't even realise the time, and today we're here to forget everything and start a new beginning.
'not knowing what it was'
It's not the end of our story, it's a new beginning of our journey ....
' I will not give you up this time'
I was simply mesmerised by her beautiful eyes.
'But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own and in your eyes, you're holding mine'
'Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms'
As she came near me, I was just looking at her, then extend my hand, palm up, as if asked her ..
'Listening to our favourite song, when you said you looked a mess, as I whispered underneath my breath, but you heard it darling, you look perfect tonight'
She looked at Angelo when Angelo put her hand in mine ...
Music ....
Well, Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know, she shares my
dreams, I hope that someday, I'll share her home'
I was eagerly waiting for this moment when I saw her as my bride,
And today is the day of my queen.
' I found a love to carry more than just my secrets, to carry love, to carry children of our own ..... '
A thick tear of happiness fell from one of my eyes. We're still kids, but we're so in love, fighting against all odds'
I kissed her hand .....
' I know we'll be alright this time, darling, just hold my hand, be my girl, I'll be your man, I see my future in your eyes'
And I see the future and my whole world in her eyes.
' Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song'
' When I saw you in that dress looking so beautiful, I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight'
Without you, I'm nothing in my life, my Jasper Jean Mariano Watson.
' Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song'
' I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met an Angel in person
And she looks perfect. I don't deserve this. You look perfect
tonight .... '
When the music ended, I found myself adoring her, lost in her ...
Jay's POV
The platform by the mist machine made it look like I was in the cloud as
white fog gently curled around us.
It all seemed like a dream ... I was a little nervous about seeing all the guests and other people's, but when he holds my hand i just lose myself in it, in this moment.
He couldn't speak; he was just adoring me.
Our families rose to their feet, mom's hand over her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks, I saw Aries about to cry, but he controlled himself then saw Keifer's mom standing with Keiren & Keigan, proudly.
It all felt like heaven, like our match was made in heaven…
Then suddenly, the music changed. This time, a different song started playing—"Until I Found You."
The mass began…
The priest started with a reading from the book, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
Priest: "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres."
Priest: "Love is presented as the ultimate and most crucial aspect of human relationships and spiritual life, even surpassing eloquent speech or profound knowledge."
I listened to each word carefully.
Then came the homily. The priest spoke with emotion—about sacrifice, love, and everything that truly matters.
The priest smiled and then said…
Priest: "Now comes the most sacred part—the exchange of vows."
Keifer's POV
And as always .....
The priest looked at me and said, Doo you mark Keifer Watson, take Jasper Jean Mariano, to be your legitimate wife, to have and hold, from this day forward, for the betterment of the worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and cherish, until death do you part?"
Jay's POV
He looked at me, eyes locked into mine, then said
"I do."
And then began his vows.
Keifer> " jay jay ....
In these years, you just made my life worth living just because of you.
I'll always fight for you, for us and for our future.
I will always choose you.
If everything is messed up, I will handle it for you.
I will always listen to you when no one else ...
Never think you're alone because I'll always be with you.
Today I promise that I'll never leave you, no matter what.
Even if death comes.
Tears rolled down my cheeks, then the priest turned to me and asked me..
the same "do you, Jasper Jean Mariano, take Mark Keifer Watson, to be your legitimate husband, to have a hold, from this day forward, for the betterment an fo the worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and cherish, until death do you part?"
I looked at him and said ....
"Ido"
Then I spoke my vows, which I neither wrote nor created; I just said them.
Jay> "Keifer...
Ever since I met you, you always made me feel safe and loved.
You have always supported me.
You understood me when no one else did.
You always stood by me when there was no one else.
You're never going to be alone. If everything is in chaos, I'll be with you always ...
Share my happiness with you,
I will always listen to you when no one else will.
I'll always believe you when a lie wants to win.
I'll choose you every day, every minute and every breath.
Today, I promise you that I'll be with you, even if death comes.
Tears were falling from his eyes, and I found myself in the same situation.
The priest was smiling but with teary eyes.
> " The rings ....
Keiren came holding a black box, inside two diamond rings.
Keifer picked up my ring,
Slid it onto my finger, his fingers brushing my skin softly ...
I picked up his ring with a pouncing heart, then slid it onto his finger.
He looked up at me, smiled and said.
Yeh jay, this is not the end of our journey, it's a new beginning.
Without a word, without any hesitation, he kissed me..
All felt like a dream, a fairytale.
The kiss that demands to be together forever.
Then the priest said ...
> So today, in front of the crowd, in this holy place, with all the rules and regulations, in the presence of god, I declare you both to be husband and wife.
The crowd burst into cheers, clapping joyfully.
Just then, like victory, like we won in our life, as God blessed us, the church bell rang.
Everything suddenly felt new and different.
We both were facing the crowd .....
...
