Chapter 87: Man Of Her Dreams
“Oh, my god!” It was because Kate entered through the main entrance of the second stadium that she missed seeing the walking path a few meters from the female locker rooms. “It’s glowing out there.”
Ethan chuckled and said, “It is, Very much, and the skies are cooperating tonight. Good thing.”
“Are you happy, Kate?” Ethan asked. “I wasn’t so sure about this surprise wedding. I know you love Carlos, but I also know that you are my princess and you always like to be part of any celebration planning. You were spoiled, just like Kenzie.”
Kate chuckled. While holding on to Ethan’s arm, she replied, “Dad.” Kate sucked in a breath. “To be honest, I don’t care. I love Carlos so much, any wedding will do. I am Kate Wright, an heir to your company, but I lost the man I loved for nine years. Now he is back. Should I still think about the glam?”
“My dream wedding is to marry the right man, and that is Carlos.”
“Oh, don’t think so little of your wedding just yet. It definitely is glam. Only that you did not take part in the planning,” Ethan suggested. “Which worried me a little.”
“It’s glam?” Kate asked. “Here at the stadium?”
With a nod, Ethan suggested, “See for yourself.”
After two yards of walking, two cameramen appeared. They recorded Ethan’s and Kate’s walk, and from where they were, Kate could hear the crowd’s amazement.
“The stadium is full?” Kate asked.
“Yes, it’s Carlos’ gifts to his fans. Those who wished to stay could see the entire celebration from the upper levels of the stadium. They have their own buffet area. Of course, VIP guests will sit at the tables on the hard court,” Ethan explained.
A smile crept on Kate’s face. She said, “He loves his fans.”
“He does, huh?” Ethan asked.
“But he loves me the most,” Kate claimed before chuckling.
From where they were, Kate smiled at the peach and green floral decors and climbed up to the wall. The walls had a panel layer in the color white which led to the ring’s entrance. With each step she took, the ring appeared brighter in Kate’s view.
Finally, they stopped where crystal and jade beads formed a curtain glittering from the ceiling.
“Are you ready?” Ethan asked, and Kate could hear the wedding organizers giving the cue through a radio transceiver.
“Ready,” Kate claimed.
Instrumental music played. A piano playing in the background resonated across the stadium, and Kate smiled, instantly knowing what the song was.
Immediately, Kate felt her chest congesting. Despite Ethan tapping on her hand, she wound up sniffing, trying to hold back the tears that threaten to fall down her cheek.
The beaded curtains opened, allowing Kate to enter the ring, all while a singer sang” Heaven” by Calum Scott. It was the same song Carlos played during their first and official date, and Kate loved it. “I used to count the stars in the sky. Now I count the ones in your eyesI used to think that my
paradiseWas somewhere waiting on the other side, but you, ooh, oohTake me higher than I’ve beenLaying hands on my skin, it’s true, ooh, oohNothing compares to you”
At first, Kate fixated on the song, getting emotional with the lyrics, recalling the reenactment of their school dance. Soon, she managed to control her tears, but the next thing she saw was the grandiose setup from inside the tennis stadium.
‘Is this… a tennis stadium?” She asked before expressing, “Wow!” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
She glanced at her father, and he smirked. He reminded me, “I told you so.”
Not only did the stadium have an enormous LED screen that streamed the wedding for everyone to see, but the entire top ring was also layered with LED screens showing moving lights in the shade of peach and jade. Their names occasionally flashed across them. The screens practically lit up the entire venue!
Carlos oo Kate. The words on the screens read.
On each level of the stadium above, wisteria flowers fell on the edges, and spotlights pointed to the court. Fans of Carlos were waving their hands at Kate, and some taking pictures and videos.
Kate smiled, and she waved back while she walked past the pillars full of flowers.
Then, her eyes landed on the set-up before her. Only then did she realize she was walking on jade- colored tiles. It was clear to her that her wedding venue was temporarily altered from the floor to the backdrops. Her eyes widened further as she looked past the tables and chairs.
Illuminated trees stood in between tables. Instead of leaves, wisteria flowers flowed down from its branches.There were temporary partitions that divided parts of the court, all of which had reflective walls. It mirrored the ornamental set-up around the area, plus it added to the brightness of the night.
On one side of the court, there was an elevated platform for the band. There was a water fountain next to the same area and behind the band were partitions covered in jade-like wallpaper. Peach flowers scatted on the floor.
She turned to the front-left and saw not just one, not two, not three, but ten wedding cakes all in all.
“Carlos could not decide which cake was the best, so… he opted to have all ten,” Ethan revealed, and Kate’s mouth fell to the ground.
The guest tables came in different shapes and lengths, completely utilizing the vastness of the tennis stadium. Floral centerpieces of various heights could be seen, along with candlesticks, golden plates, and elegant silverware.
At the very front was another stage, fit for a king and queen. A stylish sofa was mounted in between a huge arch, full of blooms and sparking green beads. The sofa faced a backdrop made of reflective material, creating a mirror effect. It added glow and duplicated the floral decorations that were attached to its side.
The best part was, the skies were bright that night.
Since she was nearing the front stage, Kate finally caught a glimpse of The Devil. Her heart galloped, and her breathing hitched, seeing him so handsome in a white suit, his eyes gleaming at the sight of her, his chest heaving as if struggling to breathe.
Almost immediately, nothing else mattered but The Devil in front of her. She was marrying the man of her dreams.
“So tell me why, what good is lifeIf we’re all just waiting to dance in the sky?I’m already there, here in your eyesWe climb the gates, every time that you lie down next to meI rest in peaceThey say it’s better, but how could that be?If everyone had a love like usThey wouldn’t call that place above, Heaven”
Kate heard the last part of the song, and she found herself counting backward. It was just several months back when Carlos was out of her reach. He was the man that got away, but now he was finally within her grasp.
In less than an hour, she would be… Mises Ronaldo. Seeing Kate standing before him, Carlos was overwhelmed with emotions.
He walked down to receive his Kate and held her hand. The Devil could not help but embrace Kate, his chest congestion, knowing full well he was going to marry the girl of his dreams.
He pressed his lips against her ear and asked, “Are you ready to be called… Misses Ronaldo?”
