Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old.
Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so.
Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding.
We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet.
Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
Shirley sent me the wedding dress.
Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available.
Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company.
Everyone was familiar with each other.
In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row.
We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship.
Early in the morning, I put on makeup in the lounge.
The one who did my makeup was Amy. He refined the makeup for me, stood behind me and looked at me, "I've done your makeup so many times, and this is the first bridal makeup. I hope it is also the last time."
"Thank you."
I appreciated her.
I thought, "It will be the last time."
After I put on my wedding dress, I took out a pink diamond necklace from my bag and handed it to him, "Help me put it on."
Amy took the necklace, blinked him eyes, and said, "This, this necklace can't be the one that
was reported in the news back then, right?"
"It is. Patrick gave it to me. But then we had a bad relationship for a while, so it stayed with me. Today, it can be used again."
I nodded.
Amy held the necklace in his hand and gently stroked it, "Oh my god, this is the most expensive thing I've ever seen." He said, rubbing it on his face, "Gee, let me feel the smell of wealth."
I didn't stop him.
Only when he had appreciated it enough did he put the necklace on for me. When I put on it, Amy couldn't help nodding and said, "It's really the icing on the cake."
Nancy opened the door and asked, "Are you ready? The ceremony is about to begin."
"I'm ready."
I nodded and stood up.
Nancy looked at the necklace on my neck. She was stunned. "Wow, is this..."
"This is a whole big pink diamond!" Amy saw Nancy's expression and realized that she knew the ropes. He excitedly went over and said, "It's also the first time that I've seen such a big diamond. It's gorgeous!"
Nancy also came over and looked at it carefully. There were sparks in her eyes. "Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
"Right?!"
Nancy and Amy stood in front of me and looked at the diamond necklace over and over again.
When they were almost done enjoying, I asked, "Em, can I go out now?"
Nancy finally came to her senses. She nodded.
"Sure. Let's go. Or we'll miss the best timing."
As she spoke, she dragged me out.
When I went out, I saw Patrick and Ryan stood over there.
My heart beat faster when I saw him.
Weddings were all about the father of the bride walking the bride down the aisle and then handing her over to the groom.
Ryan was the most perfect choice for this role.
I walked over and called out, "Master."
Ryan nodded.
He didn't say anything.
As the wedding march played, the doors of the ballroom opened and I walked in with Ryan on my arm.
We stepped on the red carpet.
I saw Patrick standing at the other end of the red carpet. He was dressed in a black suit, and his hair was beautifully groomed.
Looking at him, my tears couldn't help but have tears in my eyes.
Ryan took me forward. Step by step, I was getting closer and closer to Patrick.
What came to my mind was all the things we had experienced. From the first time we met, to later marrying him in Caroline's name.
We got married. He sent me to prison. I came back to him with hatred and got divorced.
And a lot of things that happened afterwards.
We broke up and reconciled, over and over again.
I thought many times that I would never be with him again.
