Ring...Ring... “Hello”. I answered in my morning voice. I woke up at the sudden sound of my phone. I answered it without looking at who it could be. Isaac stirred to his sleep when I answered the phone. “Boo, good morning did I wake you? I just want to remind you that we have a final rehearsal for the entourage, dance, and the fitting of the dress for everyone later before dinner”. Avery said reminding me of our to-do list for tomorrow’s big day. All of us already arrived on the island yesterday later in the evening. Isaac’s parents and only close relatives are invited and they arrive first here on the island. To my side, I invited only my close relatives as well and some of my close friends. It will be a private and solemn ceremony like I used to. I’m grateful that Isaac and his parents supported me for this. I know his mom wanted a little grand wedding but I’m a little uncomfortable with it knowing most of our visitors is just a stranger to me and have an ulterior motive to my hus
“Bee, you need to wake up now, you have a wedding to attend to. Come on, your glam team will be right here any minute now”. I heard Alice’s voice waking me up but I felt so tired. I don’t know what’s wrong with my body I felt so exhausted. “Hmm, give me another 5 minutes, please". I mumbled in my sleepy state. "No, you will be late Bee. Do you want to be late for your own wedding? Alice said and I know she will not stop till she saw me wide awake and out of my bed. "Fine, I'm fully awake now". I said sitting up and slowly opening my eyes. "My God Bee, what happened to you? Did you not sleep well yesterday? I thought we all retired early on the bed why do you look like a zombie? You all have dark circles around your eyes and it's your wedding day". Alice said I feel I'm having a headache now. "Al, I know it's my wedding day but I couldn't sleep last night and I felt sick I don't know why. I don't know when I finally had my sleep and now, I feel so tired". I explain to her and get d
They elegantly decorated the place which perfectly blended with nature. At the end of the aisle, they created a mini stage that looks like the roof of the treehouse. Beautiful flowers spread everywhere and are arranged perfectly at the sides of the aisle. The simple beachside before becomes refreshing to the eyes and romantic scenery for everyone now. “Here comes our bride”. the commentator announced. My dad holds my hand and puts it in his arms. I hold him tightly due to my nervousness. I’m afraid I will stumble on my steps. We walk out of the room and slowly approach the path to the aisle. While we were walking, we heard the song “Perfect of Ed Sheeran” playing in the background. It hits me hard this is it I’m really getting married to the man I love the most. “Sweetheart, relax there’s nothing to worry about”. my dad whispered to me and comforted me. “Hmm, I’m trying Dad but what if I stumble in my steps and fall? Our family and friends are watching me will Isaac will be disappo
We’re having our first dance where the reception is happening after the ceremony. Our families and friends joined us together to celebrate our union. “Do I already tell you how beautiful you are Mrs. Jones? Isaac said affectionately. “Yes, for a hundred times now. You said it nonstop which made me doubt now if I’m really that beautiful in your eyes”. I said to him with a teasing smile. “You don’t need to doubt it princess coz you will always be the most beautiful woman in my eyes”. he said. "You and your sweet mouth. You really know how to flirt Mr. Jones". I said. We're still dancing like we're all alone. "Only with you princess. Only you. When we're going to finish here? I want to be alone with my wife. Can we escape from them? he said. "Hey, where did you see that the bride and the groom escape at their own wedding? Patience Mr. Jones we're nearly done. You have me for the rest of our life". I said. We continued our first dance till the song ended and my father borrowed me fr
"Princess, wake up we're landing soon." Isaac woke me up and I opened my eyes to unfamiliar surroundings and realized we were still on the plane. "Hmm, did we arrive already? How long did I sleep? I ask while changing my clothes. "Not yet, we need to go back to our seat we're going to land soon. You've been asleep for 4 hours now. Still, feeling tired? He said and hugged me. "Yeah, I've been sleeping in 4 hours but I feel like it's been 1 hour only. I don't know why these past few days I feel so exhausted. I got easily tired even though I was not doing so many things. It felt so weird coz I was not like this before". I said also confused to myself this past few days. "Maybe it's because you are stressed about our wedding? Don't worry about anything now, we're going to relax for this trip. I will pamper you to no limit and make sure I will satisfy your needs". he said sweetly with a teasing tone. "Why do I think differently? I think I will be even more tired from this day onwards.
It’s been 3 weeks since we arrived here in the Maldives and it’s our last week before we go back to Ohio and face our reality again. In the past few weeks, it’s been extraordinarily special what we had experienced. The locals welcome us warmly, they are very humble and hospitable. We both experienced some of their traditions and culture. We enjoy every moment we had here and I’m sad to say goodbye to this place yet. “Penny for my wife's thoughts? Isaac said when he sat beside me. I’m outside of our villas and do some sunbathing to relax. “Hmm, it’s nothing”. I said and looked far away to the ocean. “You are too engrossed in thinking, princess, and I’m sure it’s just nothing. Tell me what is it? he asked once again and this time I looked at him. “I just look back to our everyday routine here and I’m kinda sad that we’re going to leave tomorrow. I’m gonna miss it”. I said honestly. “Do you wanna extend our stay? he asked. “No, it's fine I know sooner or later we need to come back t
"Princess, where did you go? What happened? Are you okay? Isaac asked when I came back to our bed. "I went to the bathroom. I have an upset stomach and I throw up maybe I ate something bad at dinner. I'm sorry, did I wake you? I said tiredly, it was only 3 a.m. when I woke up and did not feel well. I left the bed earlier without him noticing but he still woke up. "It's okay I felt my side empty and saw you were not in bed. But we ate the same dinner. Are you feeling better now? Come here let's go back to sleep". he said and pulled me into his embrace but after I lay down I felt something was still not right. I ran back to the bathroom and threw up again. I felt terrible, there was nothing I could throw up now my stomach was already empty. I feel Isaac's presence kneeling with me on the floor and holding my hair, caressing my back. I wanted to push him and not see me like this but I don't have the energy anymore to do that. "Princess, how do you feel? Let's go I'll bring you to the h
I woke up and found that my side was empty and my husband was no longer with me. I saw the notes he left on our bedside table. “Princess, I already headed to the company to attend my early meeting. I don’t have the heart to wake you up from your sweet slumber. Make sure you eat your breakfast before you go to the company. I will see you at lunch. I love you always”. “Oh shoot, I’m late for my work”. I realized when I saw the time on our clock. I get up on my bed and realize I didn’t hear the alarm I set up yesterday. Maybe Isaac turned it off before it alarmed. I took a bath and dressed for my work before I went down and headed to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. I saw the food that Isaac prepared and had a note “Eat me”. It’s my favorite breakfast again, in no time I emptied all of it and after I finished my breakfast I headed to the office in a good mood. --- "Good morning Carol". I greeted my assistant who worked as my temporary replacement. "Good morning Mrs. Jones. It's nice
