先性后爱 电影

She had thought of her wedding now as different from when she was clueless about love. Back then, she believed that a grand wedding was the only way to prove how much a couple loved each other.

Now, she could not care less about the value of their wedding. She could get married in a chapel without paying a single dime if possible and would not give a damn. All she wanted was the rings on their fingers and a paper signed by them, indicating that they legally belonged to each other.

“I only need my hair tied in a simple knot on top of my head. And a light makeup.” She insisted, not wanting her to look like a doll about to go on display.

“Hey, Amelia.” Eida went to her side. “I think they might be right. You need a little color on your skin and a little flair in your hair. It is your wedding day and not just any other day.”

After rationalizing it, she finally conceded, thinking her friend might be right. She should not be overthinking this. She finally agreed to let the stylist work on her magic.

Then, the gown arrived at the same time as the flowers. Everything looked perfect. The next thing left was to wear that beautiful dress and grab the flowers. Then all was set.

“Oh my! You look marvelous.” Angela looked at her with teary eyes after she had donned her dress and stood before the large, full-length mirror.

Even she believed she was gorgeous. Thankfully, she had listened to her friend, or she would have been the dullest bride in history. Sometimes, not all simple was great. Maybe sometimes, it was not wrong to want something more.

.....

“And I also want all of you to look fabulous,” Amelia announced as the other stylist made their final touches on her friends.

She believed they still had more time to spare before the big event, so they took their time. If she looked beautiful, she wanted everyone also to look the same.

They might be her only guest, but they were the only ones she needed. She did not mind if she did not invite her father since Angela had been a better parent to her than him.

“And make way to our special flower girl,” Eida announced as she entered with their little angel, wearing her adorable pink dress and pink flowers crowned in her head.

“Oh damn! You look more beautiful than me, my Princess.” She said to the little girl that she took in her arms. “Now, Evan will only have eyes on you.” Amelia teased her, and the baby awarded her with a sweet smile.

“I doubt that will ever happen.” Eida countered while taking her child from her. “I will take her before she burps on you. I only fed her so she would not be cranky during the ceremony.” She explained.

Of course, they would not want her dress full of her vomit. But she could already see that little child would grow up as a beautiful young Princess someday.

As her godmother, she could only wish that Luisa would find her Prince Charming, the man that would sweep her off her feet and make her the happiest woman alive, just like how she felt right now.

“My grandson has only eyes for you since that fateful day I found a way to introduce the two of you. And I believe that was one of my best performances to date.” Angela said as she played with Luisa with a mischievous smile on her red lips.

“What? Are you saying you set it all up?” She looked at the older lady with wide eyes. “Were you even sick or lost consciousness that day?” Remembering she found her friend lying on the kitchen floor, looking like she was dying.

“Well...” Angela finally looked up and shrugged her shoulders. “I am an old lady, and soon I will die. I only want my grandson to end up with a great woman who would be perfect for him.”

Then, Angela walked towards her while she was speechless at what she was hearing, having no clue about what her friend had done. “I have known you for a while. In our few conversations, I know I like you, and my grandson might like you too.

I intended to introduce you to my grandson several times, but he had always been busy. There was just no opportunity to do so. Then, one day, you landed at my doorstep.

I knew that was my only opportunity. Fate had given me my last chance. So, I acted like I had a heart attack, contacted my friends at the hospital, and pretended to be sick.” She narrated.

“So, you were not even sick back then.” She could remember how worried she was about her condition that she could not leave her side.

“I was sick, but not dying if that was what you mean. And yes, I fake the entire thing. It was the only way Evan would rush to my side and introduce the two of you.” She finally confided to her the only secret she kept from his grandson.

Then, Angela held her hands, entwining her fingers with hers. “It was the best decision I ever made for my grandson because I know you will make him happy. I can die any minute now and be happy.” Angela said.

“But don’t worry. I will not die today because I will never ruin the best day of your life. I am very happy for you, my grandson, Eida, and our little Princess over here.” She turned and looked at Luisa.

“I guess I should be glad that you are a great actress. Or I would never have met the man I am about to marry.” Amelia could only admit how much she appreciated Angela’s effort.

If not for her matchmaking skills, she would be one lonely soul, still looking for her soulmate.
