She forced me to love her - chapter 19

The wedding celebration had started and was going to be simple all family celebration.

Eduardo never liked outsiders in a family affair.

Ambryl was over the top with happiness and wanted all the preparations perfect to the last detail.

She had few girlfriends and all were excited to know that she was finally marrying the love of her life which she never stopped talking about.

Zeke was seated with Ambryl, as usual, smiling at him, holding him close and adoring him.

She looked like a little girl who was scared that if she left his hand she would get lost.

Zeke never minded her closeness and welcomed the love she showered on him in abundance.

Everyone else was present too. Which included his sons, father, mother, Bruno, Lucus and Bruce.

“So, who will be your groomsmen? Last time it was Bruno and Lucus. But this time Bruno will be your father-in-law and will be walking the bride down the aisle.” Laughed Eduardo and Elisio, Bruce and Lucus joined him.

Bruno didn’t laugh and Zeke was awkwardly smiling at Bruno.

“Well, I guess I want Lucus and my 4 sons,” said Zeke.

“I am too old to be someone’s groomsmen man. I did it last time. Just have your sons. And anyways I have to keep an eye on Bruno so that he doesn’t shoot you” said Lucus.

“In that case my 4 sons.” Said Zeke.

“Actually, 3 sons,” said Bruno and looked at Ambryl.

Everyone looked at Ambryl and she said “I talked to dad and he agreed”

“Agreed to what?” Asked Zeke.

Ambryl smiled and looked at Bruno. Bruno smiled and nodded.

Ambryl stood up and walked to Elisio and stood in front of him.

Elisio was confused.

“Elisio you are the main reason I am with Zeke right now. You were there in every step with me to reach my love. I want you to help me reach the final steps too. I want you to walk me down the aisle” said Ambryl.

Elisio had his mouth open and eyes wide.

“Ambryl I can’t. You are the only daughter of your father. He should walk you down the aisle” said Elisio embarrassed that she would think he helped her while everyone knew he took advantage of her.

“You were there for me every time when I wanted someone. No one understood my love for Zeke except you. Please, it will mean the world to me if you walked me down the aisle.” Said Ambryl and Elisio looked at everyone.

Bruce went close to Elisio and held his shoulder from side.

Elisio looked at Bruce and whispered, “how do I tell her?”

“Don’t tell her. Just be the friend who always agreed to her every wish” said Bruce.

Elisio looked at Bruno and he nodded too.

Elisio looked at Ambryl and smiled and said “okay”

It was the big day today and everything was perfect.

The ceremony and the reception were in the mansion.

It was a party of only 100 people but all were the most important ones.

Ambryl was getting ready in Elisio’s side of the mansion with her three bridesmaids.

She was wearing a beautiful deep v neck, long sleeve, mermaid long wedding gown.

She was almost ready when Bruno knocked on the door and the bridesmaids gave him a minute with Ambryl

“You look beautiful, just like your mother,” said Bruno.

Ambryl hugged him and said, “thank you for accepting Zeke.”

“I had too. He made you smile the way I never could. I am sorry I was never there for you” said Bruno.

“I love you, dad,” said Ambryl.

“I love you too,” said Bruno.

I was going through few of your mother’s things just so I could find something you could wear of her’s on your big day and guess what I found? This” and handed Ambryl her mother’s bluebird brooch

“It’s my mom’s,” said Ambryl.

“Yes. And I should say your mother had an eye for beautiful things. Once you settle down in your new home I’ll send them to you” said Elizabeth placing the brooch on her dress and continued “now this can be something old”

Ambryl smiled and thanked Elizabeth.

Ambryl walked out of the mansion with Bruno and Elizabeth and saw a golf cart waiting for her to take her behind the mansion for the ceremony.

They reached the tent and saw all the groomsmen and bridesmaids ready.

“Where is Elisio?” Asked Bruno.

“I am here,” said Elisio walking towards Ambryl wearing a black tuxedo.

Elisio smiled at Ambryl and said “you look beautiful” Ambryl smiled and thanked him

Elisio smiled at Ambryl and said “you look beautiful”

Bruce helped her wear it and shed more tears and said “I am so happy for you”

Ambryl hugged Bruce and thanked him and wiped his tears.

The wedding planner announced to take places and everyone did.

Bruno kissed Ambryl one last time on her forehead and went with Elizabeth to be seated in with others.

Zeke came out and stood in his place with the priest.

He was wearing a beautiful Italian white slim suit.

He stood there in front of everyone and he looked at his parents

He stood there in front of everyone and he looked at his parents.

His mother’s smile always made him soothe his nerves. And it helped him even today.

But he stopped smiling seeing Sarah seated with everyone else.

He couldn’t look away.

Sarah smiled at him and showed him a thumbs up and all Zeke could do is look down and not to think of his past.

The curtain of the tent was moved to the sides and one by one the groomsmen walked in with the bridesmaids.

Then came Eduardo’s cousin’s granddaughter and grandson as ring bearer and flower girl.

Everyone stood up to welcome the bride when the music started.

Zeke looked at Ambryl and all the nervousness and recall of past was forgotten. Ambryl was looking at him with tears in her eyes and a smile which showed her happiness.
