A perfect sunset. Perfect horizon. Solemn grounds. Peaceful surroundings. A melting hymn of the wind. A soothing sound of the waves. The colors of white and gold made the whole place like heaven on earth.
Rows of chairs decorated with gold ribbons are lined. An aisle of white carpet blanketed by sunflower petals. An arch of white doused with golden yellow flowers as if a portion of the sun has descended from the sky to shower brightness to the occasion. On the right side of the altar were children wearing white gown and wings of gold as if heaven had loaned them the angels to shower grace. And when they saw their cue, they started to open their mouths. Beautiful, spine tingling, heavenly voices filled the air singing the song Glaizel requested them to sing.
Glaizel's closest friends, Arhianna's family and Nanang Elle and Fr. Miggy's family looked at the back and they all gasped. Looking more than like a goddess from mount olympus, she was standing with all her glory. Aphrodite will surrender her post in Zeus' kingdom upon seeing her competitor.
A THOUSAND YEARS - Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
*** Arhianna wearing V-neck Greek Goddess white bridal Gown with beaded sequins, elegant pleats, free flowing chiffon skirt. The wind was like her bride's maid, holding the veil. As it blows, the veil flows in the air, not touching the sand. She walked down the aisle slowly.***
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
***Glaizel, in her own white shoshanna beaded strapless maxi dress, was breathless, looking at her bride with unexplainable excitement. Her heart beating faster than ever before. Having Arhianna in her life was more than she could ever wish for. All they have been through in just a short span of time, the pain, the hurt, the almost death and lost of the one she loves. She suddenly apologized and thanked God for everything.***
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
***Closer and closer, Arhianna can't fight the tears that is coming down her cheeks. Her heart over flowing with love and happiness she never knew. Glaizel was the most essential part of her being and she thanked God that gift. She herself was not aware that she can feel all these love that life had offered. The brightness of the setting sun seemed to give away where her love was standing. Seeing Glaizel like her own knight-in-shining armour, waiting for her at the altar.***
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
***When Arhianna reached the middle of the aisle, Mr. and Mrs. Howell took her side. Her mother, all smiles as she supported her daughter's happiness. They rather hand her over to that one person, even if it is a woman, that they know will protect her and make her happy for the rest of their lives. Garreth had made a mistake in trusting his only daughter to David, who almost took her daughter's life***
