Love, Life, and Jennifer
Wedding Day

At 7am, I was ready, with the makeup, and the wedding dress I dreamed of...

I stared at my reflection in a large mirror before me now, then gently rubbed my face.

I never make up like this.

It is not thick, nor too thin, however, perfect!

I barely even recognized myself at this moment, even my little heart as if saying.

'Who is he? Who's the girl? Why is she so beautiful in that dress? Is that right, it's you, Jennifer?'

I blushed in shame, as soon as I heard my heart.

The dress is so right in my body! This dress is made especially for me!

To be honest, I have a body size that can be said to be, just plain.

The height of the body is only 160cm, the size of the chest is not large, however...

This dress seemed to cover all those flaws!

When I looked at my shadow there, I remembered my late grandmother...

If only he were here now...

If only he could see this blessing, if only...

"Jenooll!!! Yes tuhaannn!!!" Clara and Gina came up to me, and seemed to smother my mouth, and widen my eyes as if amazed.

I'm glad I saw them.

"Yes!!! Lu caanntiiikk bangeeeett!!!" Say them angrily, then hug me.

"Thanks.." -..." My words then outlined their embrace

"Young Joon must have been pangling, wriggling you like this." Clara.

Speaking of Young Joon, even up until this second, he didn't call me...

Just hearing his name alone, made me fade the smile on my face.

Clara suddenly hugged me from behind, and propped her face up on my shoulder, while looking up at the mirror before us at this moment.

"The two will be the perfect couple! You're beautiful, well educated, you're so, so character!" He said, then shifted before me, then touched my face with both hands.

"And the handsome Young Joon, well established, is so good!" He said while looking at my face.

I was listening to Clara

"Wooo!!! Take a photo first, dooonkkk!!!" Gina excitedly ran towards us, brandishing her phone.

We laughed cheerfully, and took some pictures to capture, until...

"Einemmm..." Someone was shaking at the door of my room that was already open.

I immediately turned to her, and immediately ran up to her, then hugged her.

"Lad...." My words are full of novelty.

I can feel, papa held back his crying.

And I immediately broke out my embrace, then looked at her face.

Papa's eyes glazed over, and I immediately wiped them.

"Pa..."

"Darling... You're really pretty, son!" Said papa, who was finally unable to hold back his tears...

My mom came up to us and hugged me.

I couldn't hold back my tears, until my mother finally let go of her embrace.

"Later make up faded, you know!" Joking mama, and I laughed in my tears.

Papa then caught my face, with both hands.

"Honey, grandma must be happy there." Say papa, then kiss my forehead, and the top of my head.

"Come, we're leaving now!" My mom cried, and we all agreed.

And just as I was about to get into the car, the mbok minah suddenly ran up to me, while carrying my small bag.

"Mr Jenny, this is rich'nya hape mbak Jenny sound deh." Mbok minah, then passed

I thought, it was Young Joon, but when I looked at my phone screen, it was Mike...

"Ma, I'm gonna pee for a second, yeah." I said to mama.

"Yes, don't be long, baby." Mama said, then I passed.

Luckily, my dress doesn't have a tail, so this doesn't really limit my movement.

I immediately answered the call, and slightly ran towards my room.

"Yes, Mike..." I said across here

"Wow... I'm surprised to see your latest post with your friends..." Mike sounded like he was mocking me across the street

"You mean..."

"You look beautiful in that dress..."

"Deeeeeggggghhh!!!"

Mike's words really hit my heart, and made me flinch, so I couldn't say anything more.

"While marriage is true, don't ever think that it's over!" Mike's voice shook across there, before closing the call.

I'm silent and fixated here... My breath feels tight. My body shakes violently at his words!

I know Mike very well! He would never mess with his words! He will definitely...

"Jenny darling..." Mom's voice ripped my daydream. I immediately put my phone in a small bag, then approached my mother.

...****************...

I didn't even pay much attention to the conversation between my mom and dad about this wedding, until we finally got to the front of the church.

"It's over, yuk!" Bring papa to me.

I looked at Papa, then smiled.

Victor opened the car door, then took my hand.

Before handing me over to papa, Victor said.

"I didn't expect Jenny to be so beautiful today...." He said, holding my face with both hands, and I smiled.

"Jen, we're not so close, but trust me, my dear sister is Jenny, just like my dear sister Clara..." He hugged me, and my tears came back.

...****************...

Upon entering the church, being led by the father, and being accompanied by the bridesmaids, the world stopped turning, as the figure looked at me there...

The man looked at me with an astonished look.

He did not blink, even slightly opening his mouth.

It made me even more nervous, even as we were now facing each other, just after papa had handed me over to him.

When the pastor gave him a cue to say his vow, he suddenly said...

"I'm willing..." His words still continued to look at me, and it confused the priest, until the invited guests laughed!

"Am I so enchanting that I'm making you deaf!" I sniffed to Young Joon who is currently acting wrongly

"Ooh... Th-that's..." He said while rubbing the back of his head.

Then the pastor made a pledge to Young Joon.

"Brother Park Young Joon, are you willing to inaugurate this marriage, really sincerely?" Speak the pastor, and the atmosphere is back to service

"Yes, really!" Young Joon said

"Will you love, and honor your wife, all your life?"

"Yes, I'm willing..."

My heart trembled hearing it...

I could even see that my mother and eomma were already shedding tears on the chair that was located right facing us.

And when the pastor said the same thing to me, I could not immediately answer him, I looked at the face of papa, who was nodding faintly across there.

"Yes, I'm willing..." I said, to the applause of the invited guests.

A moment later, Young Joon grabbed my hand, and held it tightly, then stared deeply into my eyes.

"Before the Lord, priests, elders, and witnesses... So I, Park Young Joon, with a pure, sincere intention, have chosen you, Jennifer Elizabeth Lie, to be my wife...

I promise to always be loyal to you, in good fortune and in misery...

In joy, and sorrow...

In good health, and sick too...

With all your shortcomings and advantages...

I will always love and respect you, all my life..."

His voice sounded firm, yet very sincere...

I can even see, his eyes were glazed as he said the pledge...

My tears came, after that...

Young Joon opened the curtain that had covered my face.

And for the first time, Young Joon grabbed my chin.

I'm resigned... I don't want to hurt both of our parents, if I refuse what Young Joon will do to me right now, I'd rather close my eyes, accompanied by tears...

However, believe! Young Joon didn't kiss my lips! He even kissed my forehead!

Honestly, I was very surprised!

I immediately opened my eyes, while her lips were still stuck on my forehead!

And when Young Joon took off his kiss, he smiled at me.

"I'll always respect you, all my life..." He said with a smile, and I shed my tears again...

...****************...

After the blessing, we headed straight to the reception, which was held at a hotel.

The party was quite lively, almost all of my friends and also Young Joon's office friends, attended our wedding.

Everything dissolved in the festivities, and when I danced with papa, there were a lot of things papa said to me...

And all papa's words, made me shed tears...

And the last words that papa said, before finally 'handing me over' to Young Joon to dance with her were...

"Papa's happy to see Jen with Young Joon..." Papa said with a trembling voice.

And when I was already in Young Joon's arms, I immediately let go of his embrace.

"I can't dance..." My words then passed, but Young Joon immediately pulled my hand, and took my body into his arms, making my hands reflexively, hugging his neck...

We look at each other now... The distance between our faces, so close, my heart seemed to stop beating...

Even to swallow it, it felt very difficult.

Young Joon smiled...

"Just relax... Follow rhythm..." His words then carried my body accompanied by the sound of romantic music, as well as the light of the lamp, which seemed to be left dim...
