The Wedding.

The Wedding

ROSALINE MASSIMO

With gentle and steady steps, I walked down the aisle. Every step I took was calculated. The wedding organising had included the aisle walk training. My dress flowed down and with every step, the several yards of dress flowed after me.

A sparkly white dress, with red roses splashed all over the flowing part of it.

My gaze was fixated on Russo who was standing at the altar, waiting for me.

He was staring at me with a loving look on his face and I couldn't stop the smile on my face too even though my smiles could not be seen under the veil I was wearing.

In the past, if I ever pictured a wedding, it would be Russo walking me down the aisle to another man but it was the opposite now and I couldn't be happier.

The venue had been beautifully decorated to specifically match my taste. A warm golden light lit up the place and the aisle, long and spread with rose flowers. I was holding a bouquet of Juliet roses.

I finally got to Russo and he reached a hand to me. I took his outstretched hand gently and we both walked up the stairs that led to the altar.

"Fuck, you are beautiful" he whispered and I almost giggled out loud.

"You haven't even seen my face yet" I whispered back to him as we took the last step.

"I know you are beautiful" he whispered again as we stood in front of the priest.

"Love is beautiful and unique and these two have found love in each other. It is in their love that they are here today to be joined in matrimony." The priest started and my heartbeat rate became faster, if that was still possible at this moment.

"To you, Russo El Massimo..." The gaze was turned to Russo.

"Do you take Rosaline Massimo as your woman and wife? Do you vow to love, cherish, adore and protect her and only her for the remaining days of your life?"

"Yes, I do" Russo said very readily.

"And do you, Rosaline Massimo take Russo El Massimo as your husband? To..."

"Yes, I do" the words had slipped out before I realized I had cut the priest off.

There were chuckles and small laughs from the guests and I almost palmed my face in embarrassment. I looked to the guests, my face flushing under the veil. Even Diane was laughing.

I felt the embarrassed smile on my face fade away at the fact that there was only Tim present at my wedding but it was all for the best.

"We know you are eager" the priest himself chuckled.

And Russo had a smile on his face.

"Do you, Rosaline Massimo take Russo El Massimo as your husband? To be by his side, loving and adoring him all the days of your life?"

"Yes, yes I do." I beamed with smiles under the veil.

"Exchange rings."

Oh my! This part!

The ring bearers stepped forward and Russo picked out the ring. I stretched my hand to him and he slipped the ring onto my finger. I felt tears pooling in my eyes for no reason.

This was really happening!

It was my turn. I picked out the ring and slid it onto Russo's finger.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride" The priest declared.

Oh, we sure have done a whole lot more than kissing. Russo took a few steps to me, closing up the distance between us and lifting the veil from my face slowly.

"Oh fuck, I bagged such a beautiful wife" the words left his lips just before his lips met mine.

Light kiss. We had been told to ensure the kiss was gentle and short but hell! With the emotions surging through us, we easily deepened the kiss but at least we managed to make it short.

"I love you, Russo" I whispered softly to him, breaking the kiss.

"I love you too and I will forever ever love you, Cara."

THE END

At the end of this book, I can only say a big thank you to everyone for reading through Russo and Cara's story. I hope you enjoyed the read.

I am currently working on a new story, Mine Peaches and it is a dark romance, erotic book. However, I have no idea how much readers would like to read this book. The prologue of the book would come right after this chapter. Thank you once again for reading. 🫶🏽❤️
