Tila sinelyuhan ang mga paa ni Damien sa kinatatayuan at hindi ito makagalaw sa pag-aantay sa kanyang asawa sa made-up altar na gawa ng mga nag-asikaso ng kasal nila. Ipinangako niya sa asawa na magkakaroon ito ng kasal na nais nito.

Alyssa wanted a simple garden wedding but Damien didn't want a simple one. Magpapatalo ba siya sa mga kasal ng mga kapatid niya gayong pare-parehas naman silang may mga pera?

"Kumalma ka nga dyan Ambrose, pati ako mapapaihi sa ginagawa mo," asar na wika ni Leon na siya namang sinamaan ng tingin ni Damien. Sa lahat ng pwedeng makabunot sa magiging best man niya ay itong taong ito pa?

Bilang pagpili sa magiging Maid of Honor at Best Man ay nagpalabunutan sila at ang walanghiya inabunan ata nang swerte ng asawa niya at sila ang nabunot ni Alyssa.

Ayaw ni Alyssa na maging unfair sa pagpili ng mga 'yon kaya nag-usap silang 'yon nalang ang gagawin. As if Damien had a choice, she is his wife's slave so what Alyssa wants, Alyssa gets.

Walang magagawa si Damien kundi ang sundin nalang ang kung ano ang nakalinyang mga pangalan sa invitation card. "You are sighing as if you are regretting that I am your best man, Ambrose?"

Nag-iinisip bata na namang sabi ni Leon at kulang nalang ay magtampo ito at magdadabog ang lalaki dahil sa taong katabi niya. Damien rolled his eyes again, he's sighing deeply.

His bride was almost five minutes late and he thought that something might happened to her. "D*mn it! Why all of this people around me, ito pa ang taong katabi ko?" Asar na sabi ni Damien sa isipan.

Si Alejandro nga noon palagi nitong pinipikon, siya pa kaya? Kung may hawak lang na baril ngayon si Damien malamang bulagta na itong katabi niya dahil sa sobrang ingay. Putak lang ito nang putak at naasar na siya masyado din itong dramatic hindi naman bagay.

"Do you still want to attend this wedding ceremony, Sokolov?" Damien asked suddenly which made Leon looked at him. Nang matignan niya ang lalaki ay natahimik ito. Napatawa naman sina Karlos at Jask na nasa upuan kasama ang mga asawa at anak nila.

This place was bought by Damien last month. Sampung ektarya ito ng lupa na may ancestral house na ipinaayos na niya para magmukhang moderno halos puno, damo at halaman din ang makikita sa bagong pag-aari na ito ng mag-asawa.

Sinadya ni Damien na bilhin ang property dahil kasama na ang talon at dalawang sapa na narito. Gusto ni Alyssa ang kapaligiran lalo na at ilan sa mga ito ay ang mga pinipinta ni Alyssa.

Damien made certain that everything was in order for their garden wedding. The wedding was only for their family and close friends. Uninvited guests are not permitted. Damien was extra cautious because his wife was expecting. And now, he was more nervous because his bride is not yet here. The guest was here even the priest.

Ang bride at ang Maid of Honor nalang ang wala. "Calm down Ambrose, you bride will be here in a minute." Alejandro interferes because his brother looked really tense.

Ganyan naman halos lahat ng mga ikinakasal lalo na ang mga lalaking hulog na hulog sa mga asawa nila, hindi sila mapakali hangga't hindi nakakarating ang bride nila. "You can say that because you aren't in my position right now." Alejandro frowned at him.

Nauna nang mangyari kay Alejandro 'yan gaya ng iba pa. Syempre, sisiputin siya ng bride niya aanhin niya ang mga fresh na lisianthus na binili niya mula sa ibang bansa para sa garden wedding na ito kung hindi makikita ng asawa niya.

Those were freshly picked before delivering here in his new property. Umuulan ng lisianthus sa buong paligid kahit na ang paarkong altar ay may mga lisianthus din.

Ang kinauupuan ng mga bisita ay mga puno ng kahoy na galing pang ibang bansa para bumagay lang sa damuhan nila. Si Damien ang lahat ng nag-asikaso noon pati na rin ang gown ng asawa. He doesn't want to tire her. Kinuha nalang niya ang sukat ng katawan ni Alyssa at siya na mismo ang pumili ng gown na babagay dito.

"Isang balik mo pa dyan sa kinatatayuan mo Damien, pauuwiin ko na itong si Father." Naasar na ding sabi ni Lorenzo.

Before Damien could say something someone shouted 'the bride is here' tila nabunutan ng kaba sa dibdib ang lalaki at napaayos pa sa kinatatayuan niya.

Sabay-sabay naman na napabuntung-hininga ang mga bisitang dumalo sa kasal dahil sa tensyonadong groom.

The wedding started abruptly, the wedding march started. Isa-isang nagmartsa ang mga kasama sa Wedding Entourage.

Damien was anxious to see his bride. Tila nais niyang hilahin ang mga nagmamartsa para makita na ang asawa.

Damien literally smiled as he saw his nieces marching forward, throwing lisianthus petals with the Maid of Honor in front of his bride.

Bagay na bagay ang long sleeve wedding gown sa asawa niya hindi mo aakalaing milyones ang halaga ng damit gayong simple lang naman ang tabas. Hindi naman ang disenyo ng damit ang nagpahamal dito kundi ang mga kumikinang na pulbos na nakadikit sa traje ni Alyssa.

Pinapudpud ni Damien ang limang gold bars para lang sa traje de boda ni Alyssa na nakuha nila noon isang buwan ang nakalipas. Damien wanted Alyssa to know that nothing in this world, the man couldn't do anything for her.

Ang veil din ni Alyssa ay kumikinang ng dahil sa ginto. Ang takong at likod ng sapatos ni Alyssa ay literal na gawa sa gold.

Her baby bump was visible but not overly so; the bride is still sexy to watch even though she is pregnant. The wedding gown may appear simple, but this is a spectacular wedding. Huminto si Alyssa sa harapan ng asawa.

"I'm sorry I am late, nagutom kasi ako kaya kumain muna kami ni baby." Tumawa ang lahat sa sinabi ni Alyssa.

Damien groaned because of his nervousness mukhang hindi pa nakakain ang asawa ng mabuti.

"Are you still hungry? We can postpone this for an hour for you to eat." Anito nang nag-aalala. Umiling si Alyssa. "Nah, let's get this started before you'll passed-out from being nervous," Alyssa said giggling.

Napunong muli nang tawanan ang buong paligid. It was only a hundred people, but it was enough to see the couple marry as one. Damien grumbled and frowned. "Fine." He's content, but he can't help but be moody.

Inalalayan niya ang asawa upang humarap sa nag-aantay na Pari. "Let's get this started Father and please make it short so, I can throw everyone out." Ani ni Damien sa Pari na napatawa nalang sa sinabi niya pero nang makita nitong seryoso siya at napatango nalang.

Alyssa pinched her husband's waist, but there was no bulge. The ceremony began, but the two were preoccupied with their joy.

Hindi nga nila napansin na nasa punto na sila nagpagsasabihan ng I do's at vows nila. And now Damien is saying his vows.

"I knew the moment I saw you that my heart would be in danger. And now I'm in such danger that I'm willing to be saved only by you. My dove, we may have ups and downs, but my love for you will endure. I promise to be your food buddy so that you can stay healthy at all times. I promise to be your best friend as well as your husband. I will look after you until our hair turns grey, our teeth fall out, and our bones become frail. I promise to love you until the day I die." The vows moved everyone, especially the women, who cried as they exchanged their vows.

"I didn't write any vows because I believe an impromptu speech is the most genuine. I'm not sure what to say, so I'll say whatever comes to mind. I thought you were rude and always angry the first time I saw you. You're a scumbag. You made me cry and made me feel unwanted. You did a good job at hide and seek. Taguan nang feelings. You are afraid to love because of your past, but you still love me despite your fears. I can't stop smiling because I know you love me and I love you. Damien, I can't promise you anything because I have nothing when you're not with me. I can promise you one thing: I will love you until my last breath." They locked their gazes on each other's while saying those words that were only meant for them.

Alyssa was crying, and Damien was choking on his own emotions. The Priest posed one final question to them. 

"Damien Axel Ambrose, do you take Alyssa Nicole Paderes as your lawfully married wife for richer or poorer, sickness or health, until death do you part?" Damien was asked by the Priest. The man kissed his wife's palm as he looked at her.

"I truly do," Damien replied. The Priest looked at Alyssa. "Do you take Damien Axel Ambrose as your lawfully married husband for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" As she responds, Alyssa sheds tears.

"I do. I do." Dalawang ulit nitong sabi. They were holding hands.

"Now, I pronounced you man and wife. You may kiss your bride." Hindi pa nga natatapos ang pagsasalita ng Pari ay hinalikan na ni Damien ang asawa. Panay ang pito ng mga lalaking bisita habang ginagawa iyon.

Napuno nang kaligayahan ang buong paligid pati na rin ang mga bisita. "Tama na 'yan, Ambrose! Sa kuwarto niyo na' yan ituloy mamaya gawin niyong triplets ang baby niyo!" Hirit ni Leon.

Binalingan siya ni Damien ngunit ang loko ay nauna na palang tumakbo. Everyone laughed and smiled at this. Hinila ni Alyssa ang kamay ng asawa at siya ang humalik ditong muli. The guests awed as the couple shared another joyful kiss...
