35. WEDDING ALBUM
WEDDING ALBUM:
A collection of the snapshots and pictures captured during the wedding day. The Wedding Album holds all the memories of the most wonderful day between a husband and a wife.
Ryder.
I have to meet her. The girl I spent half a day looking for around the city! I thought I would never see her again.
“I’ll cover the bar, guys!” I told my bartenders. I took my jacket off and grabbed the baseball cap from one of my staff and wore it on my head. “Borrow for a while, okay?”
He looked at me like he thought I was high or something and then he nodded.
I watched her. She was alone. Now, I wish I knew some pick-up lines. Or if I did, I knew how to use them effectively! But so far the only things that I could remember hearing around were:
‘Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?’

PRESENT:A moment or period in time perceptible as intermediate between past and future; The period between Yesterday and Tomorrow… Today.It is also referred to as something special given to another person… a Gift.Remember this quote? “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a GIFT, that is why it’s called the Present.”Astrid.It’s been almost a week since I got out of the hospital. I got away just fine with some stitches on my forehead, just above my left brow. My wrist was also stitched up as apparently, I landed on broken pieces of glass when Bryan banged my head on the kitchen counter.Ryder was still at the hospital. Apparently, he took a couple of blows for me when he came to my rescue. And I k
Knight in Shining Suit 37. RING
RING:A ring is round because it represents eternity… like a love that will last forever. It is a symbol of never-ending commitment. It is usually worn on the left hand, on the fourth finger, as “myth” states that this finger contains the “vena amoris” or the “vein of love”, which is connected to the heart.We were sitting on the deck; Ryder was strumming his guitar, serenading me with his smooth, soulful voice.I couldn’t help but be drawn to him and the world he was bringing me to when he sings. If I wasn’t in love with him already, hearing him sing to me would probably do the job.“How come you sing so well?” I asked him.“Genes, I guess.” He smiled.“Did you always know how to play the guitar?”He nodded. “Ever since I was a kid. I play the piano, too.”&ldq
Knight in Shining Suit 38. THE VENUE
THE VENUE:The place where the whole wedding will take place. Considerations in choosing a venue could be because the place holds special memories for the couple or it could be sentimental to one of the couple’s parents or grandparents. But more than anything, the venue chosen must accommodate the theme of the wedding.It was the most hectic following months of my life. I was setting up Ever After Manhattan, meeting up with potential suppliers, and hiring and training people. On top of all that, I was planning my own wedding. I had to actually get Nicole to stay in New York once in a while to help me. Leilani, my assistant in Malibu, was left in charge of the branch and Nicole and I would just fly in if there were important matters that needed our attention.The first major problem that I had was the location of my wedding. I could easily have that in a hotel, but it wasn’t good enough
Knight in Shining Suit Epilogue: THE WEDDING
THE WEDDING The ceremony that officially takes a couple to the beginning of their happily ever after… a gathering that involves a lifetime of promises. Breathe in. Breathe out. I looked at myself in the mirror. I could barely recognize myself. The girl staring back at me was wearing a very elegant white princess gown made from the finest duchesse satin and silk. The bodice that has a sweetheart neckline was encrusted with genuine crystals. The romantic full skirt with elaborate ruffles and folds was adorned with crystals and intricate embroidery, as well as the cathedral length veil that I wore. The famous designer who made my gown made sure that the dress was fit for fairy tale and princess romances, too. My hair was curled and clipped in a half pony and fastened with two diamond hair combs that belonged to Ryder’s mother. My hair cascaded around my face and there were very s

1. MOTIF: a dominant color. In choosing a color motif for a wedding, keep in mind the colors that mean something in your relationship, and what you want to attract in your future. “We’d like the colors moss green and brown,” Estelle, the happy bride-to-be was saying to me and my best friend Nicole. I watched her dreamy eyes and her happy smile and I couldn’t help wondering if I looked as ridiculous as that when I was planning my own wedding. Nicole smiled back at her enthusiastically. “That’s a good combination. So…” “Jungle-like,” I suggested, cutting Nicole off mid-sentence. Estelle stared at me for a moment and her dreamy smile threatened to fade from her beautiful face. “Excuse me?” Nico
Knight in Shining Suit 2. ENTOURAGE
ENTOURAGE: A group of people surrounding an important person or persons… like the bride and groom in a wedding. I met up with my friends. I could tell that they were all getting bored with me. I whined about the usual things. Like how I had known Bryan since I was in college and we had been friends first before we dated and how I’ve known Geena since we were little and never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that she would betray me like she did. Dannie Jones, my gay best friend, became the most impatient of my group. He had listened to me enough, I guess. John Green, my guy best friend, was the angriest at Bryan for what he did to me. Nicole was the most sympathetic for my feelings. “I wonder how he is now,” I asked. “Oh, for crying out loud!” Dannie muttered. “Ash, please! Don’t do this! You’re beautiful, you’re smart! You have your whole life ahead of you!”
Knight in Shining Suit 3. DIAMOND
DIAMOND: The strongest and hardest mineral. Commonly used in engagement rings to symbolize the unbreakable bond between a man and a woman. For the next few weeks, I spent my time job hunting. I tried to steer clear of weddings for now. I knew that I was still in pain, but acknowledging the pain didn’t really mean adding up to it or provoking it in whatever way. But by end of the week, I still had nothing. I was still the same clueless girl I was weeks ago. “Hang in there, sweetheart.” Nicole said to me one night we decided to check out the new bar in the city called Oil Rig. “You’ll find one. Although, you would have found one already, if you just went back to wedding planning. You were famous before. People loved your work. It would have been easy to get a job with the competition.” I rolled my eyes. “What’s the point of planning other people’s weddings when I don’t believe in

4.RSVP:Répondez s'il vous Plaît, meaning, “Please Respond”I’m not going. I’m not going.At least that’s what I kept telling myself over the last two weeks. Now, it’s one week until the wedding and no phone calls from my mother begging me to go. Not even an encouraging look from Adam.So finding mystery Alpha Male is out of the question. Until I received the call that I thought I would never receive.“Sweetheart, it’s Uncle Jack.”I took a deep breath. “Hey, Uncle Jack! How’s it going?”“Not bad,” He replied. “How are you?”“I’m…fine, Uncle Jack.”He sighed. Then he said, “Sweetheart, I know that what Geena did to you is just… unforgiveable. I… couldn’t believe it
