Third person point of view
Christian woke up the next day when he heard someone knocking on the door. He got out of bed and opened the door. Jacob was already dressed up to the notch. They had a bit of resemblance and he looked handsome in his black double breasted suit. " You are already done ? " Christian was surprised.
" It is fine. We just wanted you to sleep a little more. You have enough time now. Sophia and Stephen are also yet to get ready ". " Alright ". " I am leaving. You should come with others ". " Yeah ". Jacob smiled and walked away. He drove to the venue to make sure everything was arranged properly.
Christian freshened up and put on daily wear clothes. He would change at the venue. He went down and all others were already done. Stephen was also dressed very well. His white shirt was tucked into black trousers. He had black suspenders and also a red bowtie. Christian smiled and picked him up.
" You look so handsome today ". Stephen grinned. " Thank you uncle ". Christian helped adjust his styled hair. " Let's go ". Christian's father said and they all walked out. Christian wanted to drive but his father rejected the idea. Christian sat in the passenger seat with Stephen while Sophia and his mother sat in the backseat. They drove away to the venue.
Oliver was also woken up early by his mother. As soon as he was done with his things, his mother dragged him out of the house without letting him say anything. He was startled from all the pushing around. They double checked everything that they should have and then started. His father drove them to the venue.
Christian's family was the first to reach. Jacob took them to the dressing room. Christian sat down on the chair to the side. They had some time anyway so he played with Stephen. His parents went out to check everything. Jacob came after a few minutes. " You should get ready. Give this little guy to me ". He picked up Stephen and walked out.
Christian went to the room on the side and changed into the suit. He was done dressing up. He saw Jacob waiting along with a man. He walked up to them and Jacob made him sit on the dressing table chair. Christian didn't know what it was about. He looked up at Jacob. " He is going to style your hair. Also... " He took off Christian's glasses. " I am confiscating this for now ".
He put them in the box and in Christian's bag. Christian let out a sigh and let him do as he pleased. The man was professional and styled his hair very well. Jacob was happy with it and complimented both, Christian's looks and the stylist. Christian chuckled. Jacob stood up. " I will call you when it is time. And don't touch your hair ". " Okay ". Jacob walked out.
Christian sat in the chair and in fact felt a bit bored. He just scrolled through his phone. Oliver was also done dressing up. A stylist helped with his hair and he checked himself in the mirror. He looked good. He took a few photos. The photographer also took a few photos on both sides. Oliver's mother kept going back and forth as there was no one to be with Oliver.
Oliver felt bad for her. " You should be outside. I am all done now. So when it is time, come back to call me. Don't walk around so much ". " Alright ". Oliver smiled and sat in the chair. He was excited and nervous. He took a few deep breaths and zoned out. He heard a knock and it was his mother. " Come out ".
Oliver walked out and his mother told him the directions. He followed it and walked to the hallway. Christian already arrived and was waiting for Oliver. He adjusted his cuff and was looking down. He heard the sound of the shoes and turned to the left. He saw Oliver walking up to him. He subconsciously smiled as soon as he saw him.
Oliver looked ethereal, like an angel. That was the only thought in Christian's mind. He wondered if there was anyone who could suit the color white so well. Oliver's breath hitched when he saw Christian waiting for him. He looked illegally handsome. He also removed his glasses which made his eyes look sharper and deeper.
The white was not complementing, instead it seemed to suppress the aura around him. But the contrast was too attractive to look away from. They stood facing each other with their hearts racing. " You look beautiful ". Christian was the first to speak. Oliver felt his heart tremble and his already pink cheeks turned red.
" You also look very handsome ". Both of them smiled. They turned to stand facing the door and Oliver put his hand around Christian's arm. Both of them took a deep breath and the doors opened. They both walked out and smiled at the crowd. They greeted some people nearby and made their way down the aisle.
They finally reached the front and stood facing the priest. " Do you, Christian, wish to take, Oliver, as your lawfully wedded husband in the name of god and promise to be with them in all their happiness and hardships and trials in life and promise to support them through everything ? " " I do ". Christian answered without hesitation.
" Do you, Oliver, wish to take, Christian, as your lawfully wedded husband in the name of god and promise to be with them in all their happiness and hardships and trials in life and promise to support them through everything ? " Oliver looked at Christian and when their eyes met, both of them smiled. " I do ". Oliver answered without breaking eye contact.
Christian felt the weight of the words along with the heartfelt feelings sent his way. He felt his heart tremble at those sincere eyes. " You may exchange the rings now ". Stephen gave them the rings. Christian took the ring and put it on for Oliver. Oliver gulped hard. His put it on for Christian with a trembling hand.
Christian gave his hand a light squeeze in encouragement. Oliver held it back and smiled before pulling away. " I announce you as husbands. And now you may kiss ". Oliver felt his heart race faster than it already was. They both took a few steps forward till they were close enough. Their eyes met and both of their hearts skipped a beat.
They also knew what the other was thinking. Oliver tilted his head up and Christian lowered his. Their lips met for a sweet and gentle kiss. Christian's hands were resting on Oliver's hips while Oliver put them on Christian's chest. Oliver closed his eyes to savor the warm and soft touch. Christian also lowered his eyes with a smile.
Christian kissed a bit harder and Oliver's breath hitched. They pulled away slowly and Oliver couldn't look up at Christian. Christian did not say anything. He held Oliver's hand with a smile making him blush harder. The crowd was still cheering. Both of them smiled and turned to the front. Both of their parents looked happy and their eyes were filled with tears.
Jacob was also silently sobbing. Christian chuckled when he saw him. They all came up to them and hugged them. They took a few photos together. Jacob hugged Christian and then Oliver. " Please take good care of my brother. Hope you both live well ". Oliver smiled when they pulled away and nodded. They also took some photos with their friends and relatives.
