I stared at the woman opposite me in the full length mirror with wide, unblinking eyes. My lips parted in surprise as my eyes swept all over my reflection. I almost didn't recognize myself. The hairdresser and the make-up artist did a wonderful job.

Taking a deep long breath, I cast one more glance at my reflection and made my way out the door. When I emerged Claire was already waiting outside.

The moment I stepped out the door she looked up to me and smiled. A glint of tears flickered her eyes as she handed me a bouquet of fresh white roses.

"You looked breathtaking!" She exclaimed as her gaze swept from the beautiful white lace gown then up to my face.

"Thank you, Claire. You looked stunning too." I returned the compliment as my admiring gaze swept to the pink gown she wore.

She hugged me tight and kissed me on the cheeks. "I'm so happy that Ace and you are together again after everything that happened between the two of you." She said the words with so much warmth and affection that my eyes watered with tears but since I don't want to ruin my makeup, I bit back the tears and hugged her tight like the way a daughter would hug her own mother.

"I'm so happy too, Mama. It became possible because you've been very supportive of the two of us."

When the hug ended, Claire dabbed a handkerchief at the corner of her eyes. "We must go before our tears ruin our look. You must be the most beautiful woman in the church today."

"Without a doubt I would be the most beautiful woman today—in Ace's eyes." The mention of my husband made my chest overflow with fondness.

"That is a guarantee." She agreed. "Everyone was already waiting in the church. We must go before the groom thinks you changed your mind." Claire joked and I couldn't help but smile. She held my hand and together we walked to the door.

The bridal car skidded to a stop in front of the church. I pushed the door open and got out of the car. The moment my high-heeled shoes stepped on the red carpet the cheering crowd greeted me.

My heart skipped a bit as my gaze landed on the elegant entrances of the church. For the first time since I woke up this morning my pulse jittered and my heartbeat quickened. It took me a great amount of self control not to march on the aisle and demand the priest to immediately start the wedding.

I took a deep, calming breath. It's not the first time I will get married, I told myself so I don't need to feel like a first time bride. But even though it wasn't my first wedding, it's the wedding where my whole family was there for me for the very first time.

My wandering thoughts scattered in the air when father came to me and engulfed me into a warm embrace. "Papa." I mumbled, my eyes clouding with impending tears.

"I'm happy that my daughter is getting married again to the man she loves." He said and I bit back a sob. "I love you, my daughter." Upon saying the words, he kissed me on the cheeks.

"I love you too, Papa." I told him.

He wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes.?"Let's go inside the church before your over excited husband finally decides to march here and pick you up instead."

He placed my gloved hands into his arms. and together we marched forward to the door of the church.

The?pleasant sound of the piano filled the whole place and the large mahogany door flung open. My searching gaze landed at the far end of the aisle where my groom was waiting.

I walked down the aisle as if I was floating into the air. I never knew I could be this happy. Without me even realizing, a tear drifted down my cheeks.

There seated in one of the benches were Elisa and Ethan, proudly beaming at me. Elisa was holding my precious little baby into her arms.

On the other bench I saw my brothers, all dashing in their black suits and ties. They are grinning as I walked past them.

Then there was Vein in her beautiful pink dress. She's holding a basket in her hand as one of my flower girls. Behind her, Melissa stood like an elegant queen in a matching pink gown like Vien. Beside my grandma, Claire stood, dabbing a handkerchief at the corner of her eyes. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Madam Stella, Belle, Marcus, and almost the majority of the people I knew were also present.

"Take good care of my daughter."?Father told Ace as he handed me to my groom upon the moment we reached the far end of the carpeted aisle.

"I will definitely take good care of her until the day I die." He said without tearing his gaze off me and reached for my hand.

Together we marched forward to the altar.

The wedding ceremony went on and all the while, I felt as if I was floating into the air. The ceremony happened so fast the next thing I knew we're exchaging our vows.

"Phoenix, I give you this ring as a sign of my love and devotion.?Wear it with love and joy.?As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I promise to never forget this once-in-a-lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges?we may encounter we will always find our way back to each other."

Ace slid the ring into my finger. Tears flowed freely down my cheeks as he did so.

"Ace, please take this ring as a sign of my eternal love. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard. I promise to cherish you and respect you. May our days be long, and may they be seasoned with faith, love, understanding and respect forever and ever.

I slid the ring into his finger and when I raised my head to his I saw tears flowing down his cheeks.

The priests announced us husband and wife. And when he said the word 'you may kiss the bride' Ace lifted my veil and slowly his lips met mine.

Together, we sealed the promise of a lifetime of love together.

At last, we finally found not our happy ending but our happy beginning…
