Getting married was on her list of things to happen, but not as fast as it did. She was marrying a complete stranger.
To him it was obvious she didn't want to be married as soon as she was. He didn't even have a choice in the matter.
Join the jou...
Today was finally the day of the wedding. I'm happy we chose a July to be married in, because she mentioned that she would want an outdoor wedding during the day we first met.
Hopefully, she likes it.
---Kanika's POV---
It was my dream to have a simple and small wedding. Especially, after I found out that I'm marrying someone I hardly knew.
I was so happy when I saw it was a simple and small outdoor wedding. Even the decorations people didn't go overboard with the their stuff. It was just the wedding scene I could have asked for.

I was so nervous throughout the ceremony. I just wanted to get it over with and I zoned out a few times.
Eventually, everything was said and done and I was now his wife. Everyone had said their congratulations and gave us blessings. The photographer came to us and told us that we needed some pictures, so we both went.
The first pose we were told to do was a simple one. Just his arms around me and shape his hands into a heart.

The second was also a simple one, yet classic. Both of our eyes closed and just next to each other.

The third one was me looking at the camera, while he was looking at me.

The fourth one is where both of us felt comfortable. The photographer wanted us to kiss. I'm standing here thinking, this guy has never even held my hand and you want us kissing.
We both just looked at each other.
"I don't want to," I whispered to him.
He nodded understanding.
"What's going on?" The photographer asked. "It's not the 1800s anymore man. Kiss your wife."
He seemed upset at what the photographer has just said and I didn't want him to feel bad because of me. I told him it's okay and he can kiss me.
"It's okay. Don't worry about him, I don't want you to be comfortable," he said.
"Asif, we aren't paying him by the hour and he's getting mad," I said.
"Fine," he said and told the photographer we were ready.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I kept telling myself it's okay, because he's my husband.
I felt him kiss the side of my forehead.

I opened my eyes right away. I couldn't be thankful enough that he did that instead of an actual kiss.
"How hard was that?" The photographer asked.
"Look at how nice it came out," he added.
After a few more pictures, it was officially time for me to leave and go into his house.
