I Hope You Will Never Regret

Isaac Lewis, the Pop musician, and Ethan started singing a love song. The best man and the groomsmen stood in front of the altar.

Mrs Taylor walked her beloved son, Xavier, down the aisle beaming. She was over the moon. She was thanking the Lord for blessing her son with the best daughter-in-law ever. She kissed her son, then she sat beside her husband.

The bridesmaids walked down the aisle holding pink and white Juliet bouquets in their hands. Gabriella smiled at her best friend, then she followed the bridesmaids.

Then the flower girl and page boy walked down the aisle smiling brightly. The flower girl was scattering flower petals on the aisle. The page boy walked to the best man and handed the wedding rings to him, then they joined their parents.

Pastor Basil asked the guests to stand, then the DJ started playing ‘Why I Love You’ by Major.

Avery held her father’s arm and walked down the aisle. His face was covered by a veil, carrying a sweet pink Juliet Rose bouquet adorned with diamonds. The guests and the netizens became excited when they saw her dazzling wedding dress.

When Xavier saw his bride walking down the aisle wearing the wedding dress he designed, tears streamed down his handsome face.

Mr Martins kissed his daughter on the forehead and said, “I love you, Sweetheart.” Avery smiled and replied, “I love you too, Daddy.”

Mr Martins placed his daughter’s hand on Xavier’s hand, smiling. Then he shook his son-in-law’s hand. The guests applauded and ululated.

Xavier looked at his lovely wife with gentleness in his eyes. Avery wiped her husband’s tears. Then they faced Pastor Basil holding each other’s hands.

Pastor Basil smiled at the guests and said, “Please be seated. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?”

Mr Martins held his wife’s hand, and they stood up. He looked at Bridgette and the Shelton couple and nodded his head. They all stood up and said, “We do.” The guest was ululating and clapping their hands.

Pastor Basil smiled at the groom and bride, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Xavier Taylor and Avery Martins in holy matrimony.

We are here not only to witness their vows to each other but to bestow upon them our blessing. The bride and the groom elected to recite their vows.”

Xavier looked at his bride with gentleness in his eyes and said, “When I was twelve years old, I designed the wedding dress that you are wearing today. My heart is full of gratitude to the Lord for blessing me with you.

You are my best friend, my lover, and my soulmate. My life without you in it is meaningless. I love you with my soul, my stunning wife.”

Avery smiled at her husband and said, “When I was fifteen years old, I went to His Own Image Boutique to fetch my gown. When I saw this wedding dress, I felt that the designer had me in his mind. I am glad that we found each other.

Every time I look at you, I see the goodness of God. You make my days brighter and every moment worth remembering. You were created just for me, my handsome husband.”

The netizens were shocked when they heard that the stunning wedding dress was designed by the handsome Xavier when he was twelve years old, and his soulmate bought it when she was fifteen years old. It seemed like a fairytale.

Pastor Basil blessed the wedding rings. Xavier held Avery’s left hand, then he slipped the diamond wedding ring on her ring finger. Then Avery slipped the platinum wedding band on her husband’s ring finger. The guests clapped their hands.

Pastor Basil was beaming with joy and asked, “Xavier, do you take Avery to be your lawfully wedded wife?” Xavier replied smiling at his wife, “I do.”

Pastor Basil smiled brightly at her granddaughter and asked, “Avery, do you take Xavier to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Avery flashed her husband a beautiful smile and replied, “I do.”

Pastor Basil was overjoyed and said, “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may salute your bride.”

Xavier took the veil off her face and kissed his stunning wife passionately. The guests stood on their feet and clapped their hands. Then the newlyweds faced their families and guests, smiling from ear to ear.

The netizens were dumbfounded when they saw the gorgeous bride. They had never seen anyone so beautiful. They were a match made in heaven.

Aiden was sitting in front of the television watching the wedding ceremony. He was regretting cutting ties with his sister.

He was supposed to be at the wedding ceremony with his family, but he made a poor decision by choosing his mother over his father and sister.

The newlyweds, together with their families, bridesmaids, and groomsmen went outside to take photos. Then they went to another venue for reception. The venue was lavishly decorated.

Mr Martins asked His Goodness Resort Chef to cook his signature dish. Chef Ambrose cooked a Roast Rack of Lamb served with crushed potatoes and creamy spinach. Also, he catered for the vegetarians.

His Glory Hotel Chef, Sipho, cooked Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Sauce served with grilled veggies.

Chef Bruno from His Grace Hotel had prepared a Fillet Steak, Braised oxtail, and bone marrow.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He also prepared silky smooth butternut mash, creamy mashed potatoes, and basmati rice served with fresh steamed vegetables.

At 12 pm, the chefs and the waiters started serving the guests delicious food according to their requests. During the rehearsal dinner, the guests were given the wedding menu, and they were asked to choose their favourite dish.

At the old Martins mansion, Jamie’s birthday party ended in the wee hours of the morning. Lily drank a lot during the party, and she woke up at 1 pm. Her head was throbbing, and she had a hangover.

She walked to the bathroom to pee. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then she put on her gown on top of her pajamas and went to her aunt’s bedroom.

She knocked on the door and waited. A few minutes later, her aunt opened the door, rubbing her eyes and asked, “What is the matter, Lily?”

Lily smiled brightly and replied, “Auntie, today is Avery’s wedding. Why don’t we go there and embarrass her?” Her aunt laughed out loud and said, “That’s a good idea, my dearest niece. Do you know what time the wedding is starting?”

Lily shook her head and replied, “I don’t know, Auntie. On the billboard, the time wasn’t mentioned. Maybe it will start at 2 pm. What do you think, Auntie?”

Aunt Elizabeth nodded her head and said, “Usually rich people’s wedding ceremonies start at 3 pm. I will call Aiden and confirm the time and the venue.”

Lily left her aunt’s bedroom smiling from ear to ear. She was planning to wear her stunning white wedding dress to embarrass Avery.

Aunt Elizabeth wanted to embarrass Avery by wearing the custom-made knee-high black suit and a hat she was wearing at her brother and her sister-in-law’s funeral.

Jamie left early in the morning, indicating that he was going home to visit his mother. Unbeknownst to Elizabeth, he went to his other rich girlfriend to spend time with her.

Elizabeth took her phone and dialed Aiden’s number, but it didn’t go through. It was clear that Aiden had blocked her phone number. She scoffed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
