THE WEDDING OF THE FINAL SEAL

It's been a month since they had been with each other. Their love had grown quickly and quietly like a garden tended with care. Daniel's parent had come around completely. Mr shay personally led the wedding. His mother, once guarded and firm ,hugged Velma like her very own daughter. And Velma's parent and family had also know Daniel really well. Today was the final seal. The white wedding. Velma stood in her dressing room surrounded by her close friends and bridesmaid. The lace gown wrapped around her like a dream-elegant,simple and breathtaking. The music outside had already started.

Daniel's groomsmen were dancing. Everyone was waiting for the bride. She had just picked up her bouquet when a familiar voice chilled the air. She turned slowly to see Olivia dressed like one of the hotel staff,a tray in her hands. "You shouldn't be here",Velma said, standing her ground. Olivia's smile twisted." I just came here to congratulate you and maybe..... fix your veil". She took a step closer. Velma stepped back. That's when the door burst open behind them. Two police officers entered the room." Miss Olivia,you are under arrest for attempted assault and criminal conspiracy involving false drugging case",one said pulling out a warrant. Olivia's eyes widened. "Wait-what-?who called you?". Velma didn't answer,she simply stepped aside as they handcuffed Olivia."You can't do this! Daniel will know the truth,he will hate you again", Olivia said." He already know the truth,the difference is,I don't need to prove anything to you anymore",Velma whispered. Olivia was led out, jumping and screaming.velma took a deep breath,she didn't cry,she didn't even flinch. She simply turned to the mirror, adjusted her veil and smiled .

An hour later, the church door opened, everyone stood,the music swelled. Daniel looked up and when he saw her walking down the aisle,his breath caught. She was everything,she was his beginning and home. They exchanged vows beneath a blooming arc. The pastor spoke gently. Their hands trembled only once,at the very end ,when they slipped the ring into each other fingers. "I now pronounce you husband and wife". The kiss was a promise,sweet and soft. And though, Velma didn't tell him what happened in the dressing room,she didn't need to. She had made a choice.

Today was about peace, about letting go and about love, true,messy and beautiful love.
