HIS

Chapter 23

Today is our big day. The day I'm marrying the love of my life, the guy that would give his life to make sure that I'm safe and happy. I never thought that i would ever find myself getting married to anyone after the life i lived at home, but here i am. I know we are getting married knowing each other for a short time, but life is all about taking risks.

We are currently at his parent's private estate and it's the place where they actually stay. The reason we chose it was because of the vast landscape and amenities that is separate from the main house, but the most important part is the privacy. There are no houses for a few miles around the estate, which makes this place ideal. We first opted for a venue at a hotel but decided against it in the end as nothing tops the beauty of this place. The only people that will document the day is the photographer and videographer and their team. 

it's still very early in the morning and I'm currently enjoying breakfast with Mario, his wife Gwen, my bridesmaids, Kate and Camilla. Mario will be walking me down the isle because he has been more of a father to me in a year then Victor Scott, the sperm do Luca is the best man, obviously, and Max is the other groomsmen. They are currently in the main house also enjoying breakfast while we are in the guest house fifty meters away from the main house.

"The Make-up team is here" Gwen announces as we finish the last of our breakfast. Things are actually starting to feel real now and the nerves is kicking in. It feels like I'm having an out of body experience. 

I decided on an off white "fit-and-flare" dress, fitted through the body and flairs out mid-thigh. This cut is between a modified A-line and a mermaid cut. This dress accentuate my small waist and gives my body an hourglass look. 

The bridesmaids dresses also did not disappoint. They decided on a similar style as mine but it was satin dresses with a blush color.

When we were done i couldn't believe that the face staring back at me was mine. "You look very beautiful Olivia" i turn and look straight into the face of a proud looking Mario with his wife also beaming next to him.  

"You are going to make me cry and my make-up looks so, so good" i say while dabbing the corners of my eyes with a tissue, making sure not to spoil my make-up.

"Here is a glass that will make you less nervous" Tessa says while passing me a glass of bubbly.

"Let's toast" Gwen says "May your union be blessed in the eyes of the Lord and may this day be filled with joy and love, cheers!"

Cheers rung out around the room and everyone was chatting and laughing amongst each other as we clinked glasses, and just like that it was time to walk down the isle.

The weather was nice and sunny so we decided to get married outside on the property near a huge oak. It amazed me to see what money can do to a patch of grass. There was a walkway with an arch that was put up and chairs placed for all the guests to watch our union. 

"Are you ready my dear?" Mario asks with a huge smile on his face.

"As ready as I'll ever be" i say as i walk to him and he hold his arm for me to link and Gwen used the opportunity to place my vail over my face. 

The music started and the bridesmaids made their way down one by one. I decided not to have any flower girls or ring boy as this is a very small wedding. "It's our turn to go Bella" Mario says.

I nod and we head out of the building walking down the isle. I look at Domenico and he looks.... i don't think words will do him justice. He is in a tight fitting black three piece Armani suit, black bow tie, white shirt  with some shiny black dress shoes. He is smiling from ear to ear and i only have eyes for him.

We reach him and Mario put my hand in Domenico's. He bends down and gives me a kiss on the cheek. The priest clears his throat and our attention is turned to him.

He gives a speech about the sanctity of marriage and and the purpose of a wife and husband. Then we moved to the vows.

"Do you Olivia Scott take thee Domenico Mancini to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, as long as you both shall live"

"I do" 

"Do you Domenico Mancini take thee Olivia Scott to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, as long as you both shall live"

He looks me in the eyes through the see-through vail and then answer "i do".

"By the power vested in me, i now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"

before i know it my vail is lifted and Domenico is kissing me like there's no tomorrow. When he pulls away the cheers rings around us. "Thank you Baby, for becoming my wife. I love you" he says while looking in my eyes and rubbing my cheek.

"I love you too Domenico" i say as i smile at him.

The venue looks like a fairytale and it's way more then i could ever ask for. White flowers are attached to strings with beautifull lights in between. Two long tables with rose gold chairs and table cloths to match that are also decked out with white and light pink flowers everywhere. the whole venue looks like paradise, ecen though a small amount of people will be attending.
"This place looks beautifull. Now i'm happy i didn't have a hand in this". i know i would have messed up everything as i would never have thought of something this gorgeous.

"It's mom's doing So you have to thank her and i'm glad you love it" he says with the biggest while holding my hand.
"Did your sister come?" i ask after being congratulated by all the people.
"He' s smile dropped and he just shook his head "she' s too busy with the boyfriend she apparently have and we did not seperate on good terms when i left Italy" he says.

I just nod as i understand this is not the time and place to get into it, even though i know he would have loved it if his only sibling would have been here to witness this special day.

My in-law came to congratulate us and this was the first time seeing Domenico's dad smile.
"I hope you call us mom and dad from now on?" Domenico's mom says.

"As you wish mom and dad" i say as i give them both a hug.
We talked for a little while and Domenico decided to introduce me to everyone and by the time i was done my feet were also done.  Mia and Tessa was having the time of their life dancing with Luca and chatting with the rest of the guys. If only they knew everyone besides them are part of the Mafia.

The whole day was fabulous and i couldn't have asked for more. I made the right choice ro marry this man. The way he looks at me and cares for me, makes my heart melt.

We reached home at one o'clock in the morning because we refused to sleep over at his parent's place as almost the whole wedding party decided to sleep over in the various houses on the property cramming into a spot to lay their heads down.

"Baby, today was the best day of my life" i say as i'm yawning.
"Mine too. I got to marry the most beautifull, kind and sincere person in the whole wide world" he says as his arms wraps ariund my waist as he pulls me in for a kiss"
I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.
I'm too tired to to do anything else besides kissing but if he takes it further then i will not stop him.
He then stops and gives me another peck on the lips.
"Come lets get you to bed. It's been a long day" he says while turning me around to unzip my wedding dress.

"Did i mention that you looked very beautifull today?" He asks.

"You only mentioned it like 4 million times" i say teasing him.

"In that case, you looked fuckin beautiful and you are mine and only mine"  he says while dropping my dress on the ground leaving me in my see through lace underwear.
He holds me by the hips and pulls me to his front with our lower regions making contact. His breathing is ragged as he starts to kiss below my left ear "i love you" he says as he starts to kiss my lips as his hands roam all over my body and rests on my bare bottom as i'm wearing a skimpy piece of langerie.
He continues to kiss me as he leads me to our bed. He starts to undress himself while I'm sitting with my leg crossed over the other my weight resting on my hands watching him undress.

The rest of the night started with pain but ended in bliss as we consumated our marriage in the most beautiful way God intended us to.
