Serenity POV

Santorini was beyond breathtaking.

The architecture of Santorini ‒whitewashed edifices, blue domes, candy-colored houses and paved paths‒ blend in perfectly with the spectacular surroundings. It looked a postcard picture. So perfect. Honestly beyond words.

And the wedding venue... God. It had some of the best views in Santorini from its elevated position. The private estate sat on one of the highest points in Santorini at Pyrgos with incredible views over the caldera.

"While your wedding party takes pictures over here, the guests will head into the reception area for platters and drinks for the cocktail hour," Kassia, the wedding coordinator told us as she took us for a walk through Santorini Gem. Mica, my parents, Mica's parents, Kae and I had gone to check out the venue the moment we had enough energy. Flying for almost 18 hours took a lot out of a person. "Then if you plan on changing Serenity, you can head right back into the bridal room in the wedding villa with ease."

"Are you changing?" Mica asked with a raised eyebrow and a ghost of a smirk. I knew what was going through his head. The moment he could get me alone, he would try to get off 3 months worth of steam.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I smirked. His eyes glistened with mischief. He turned back to Kassia and I giggled to myself, doing the same.

"Any questions?" Kassia asked.

"When can we do the rehearsal?" Mama asked. I was going to leave her and Kae to ask all the questions. They had done a destination wedding before, they knew what and what not to do. As Kassia started to answer, I headed back over to the gazebo. Stepping up on it, I took a look at the island. Since it was fall, it wasn't as crowded, but it was still bustling. Still lively. I turned back around just as Mica stepped onto the gazebo with me. I smiled at him and he gave me one back.

"Are you happy Serene?" He asked and I nodded, moving towards him.

"Are you?" I asked as he pulled me into his arms. He nodded, kissing my forehead. "Are you nervous?" He scoffed.

"No. I'm ready for it to be Saturday. Are you nervous?"

"No. I'm ready to say 'I Do'," I told him softly. I was beyond ready. Seeing the venue had kicked my excitement into overdrive. Mica grinned.

"4 more days." What I felt was beyond happiness. 4 more days.

Third Person POV

While Serenity, Mica and literally everyone else felt more excited as the wedding got closer, MJ felt more dread.

Don't get him wrong, he was hella excited too. He'd been preparing his best man speech, getting the bachelor party together (coordinating with Jill so the two parties wouldn't run into each other), and had the couple's gift together. He was hyped.

He dreaded seeing Bey again. Seeing her with her husband, smiling, laughing and dancing to love songs. The worst part is he couldn't even pretend like he moved on. He couldn't use Jill, or Bria, or Ashley because all of them had a significant other. His entire friend group was either married or coupled up. Besides Taj & Leon, but MJ didn't want to be like them. They were fine not being locked down. That wasn't a goal of theirs. That was a goal of MJ'S. What good was all the money and fame if he had nobody to share it with? He thought he could share it with Jade, he fucked that up. Then the moment he allowed himself to get comfortable enough to think he could share it with Bey, she snatched that dream away from him.
