I Hope You Will Never Regret

At 1:20, Mr Martins took his phone and dialed his best friend, John, to let him know that they had arrived.

John told his father that the bridal entourage had arrived. Then the Taylor family and friends went to the wedding venue and sat on the right side.

The venue was lavishly decorated with fresh flowers and there were photos of the bride and the groom.

Since Pastor Basil was not at the altar, Keith and his groomsmen walked down the aisle and sat in the reserved chairs facing the altar.

At 1:30, Pastor Basil walked to the altar, and then the groom and his groomsmen stood in front of the altar. Xavier and Derrick had a stem of roses in their hands.

The Evans family and friends walked down the aisle and sat on the left-hand side. Mrs Evans took Prince’s arm, walked down the aisle, and sat on the reserved seats.

The Matron of honour, Hope, walked down the aisle. When it was the bridesmaids’ turn, Avery walked down the aisle first.

Derrick was stunned by Avery’s beauty and said, “Wow.” Xavier smiled and replied, “She is my wife.”

Then he walked to his wife smiling from ear to ear and handed her a rose. Avery flashed her husband a beautiful smile and thanked him. Mr Taylor senior smiled broadly at his precious grandson and his precious granddaughter in love.

When Page saw Xavier, the smile froze on her face. She was kicking herself for not walking down the aisle first. She wished she could run forward and push Avery aside.

Mrs Evans knitted her eyebrows when she saw her niece’s ugly face. She looked at her sister-in-law and asked, “What is wrong with your daughter?” Mrs Kemp looked at her daughter, but she didn’t utter a word.

Her daughter had told her that she had fallen in love with young Mr Taylor, and she was overjoyed. She encouraged her to do everything in her power to capture Xavier’s heart. Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking.

Derrick smiled at Page and handed a rose to her. Page was so upset she didn’t even thank him.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Then the two cute flower girls scattered the flower petals on the floor and sat with their families.

The DJ played a Fred Hammond song, Amazing Love. Then Pastor Basil asked the guests to stand.

Bridgette held her father’s arm and walked down the aisle smiling. She had a baby blue and white bouquet in her hand.

Bridgette stood in front of Keith and looked at his handsome face, smiling. Mr Evans kissed his daughter on the forehead, then he placed Bridgette’s hand on Keith’s hand, smiling. He shook his son-in-law’s hand and sat beside his lovely wife.

Keith looked at his stunning wife with eyes full of love, then they faced Pastor Basil holding each other’s hands.

Pastor Basil smiled at the guests and said, “Please be seated.” Then he looked at the Evans family and asked, “Who gives this woman to be married to this man?” Mr Evans and his wife, Suzie, stood up and replied, “We do.”

Pastor Basil was beaming with joy and said, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Keith Taylor and Bridgette Evans in holy matrimony. The bride and the groom elected to recite their vows.”

Keith looked at his bride with gentleness in his eyes and said, “My dearest Bridgette, meeting you was a blessing. I am grateful to the Lord for allowing us to find each other. I promise to love you unconditionally for the rest of our lives.”

Then it was Bridgette’s turn. She looked at her handsome husband and said, “When sweet Avery was fifteen years old, she asked the Lord to bless me with a handsome husband. I didn’t know that all her prayers would come true.

You are my rock, my handsome husband. I promise to honour and respect you. I love your beautiful soul, and I am blessed to know that you are mine.” The guests clapped their hands.

Pastor Basil was beaming with joy, then he blessed the wedding rings. Keith held Bridgette’s left hand, and he inserted a diamond wedding ring on her finger.

He looked at her with eyes full of love and said, “I am blessed to find my home in your heart, and I promise to love you through eternity, my stunning wife.”

Bridgette flashed her husband a beautiful smile, then she inserted a diamond wedding band in 18cts white gold and said, “My handsome husband, I promise to be a good wife to you and a good mother to our children.”

The guests clapped their hands. Pastor Basil couldn’t contain his excitement and said, “Keith, do you take Bridgette to be your lawful wedded wife?” Keith smiled brightly and replied, “I do.”

Then Pastor Basil looked at Bridgette beaming with joy and asked, “Bridgette, do you take Keith to be your lawful wedded husband?”

Bridgette flashed her husband a beautiful smile and replied, “I do.” Pastor Basil smiled broadly and said, “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”

Keith was over the moon. He took her veil off his wife’s face and kissed her. The guests clapped their hands.

Then the newlyweds walked to the Taylor family table. Mr Taylor senior’s heart was leaping with joy. He kissed his brand new daughter-in-law, then he hugged his youngest son and said, “Welcome to the Taylor family, my daughter-in-law.”

Bridgette smiled sweetly at her father-in-law and thanked him. John hugged his brother and kissed his sister-in-law. Caroline was over the moon and said, “You are gorgeous, Bridgette.”

Then she hugged her tightly. Bridgette hugged her back, smiling from ear to ear. Keith took his wife to the Evans family table. Mr Evans hugged his son-in-law and kissed his daughter.

His mother-in-law hugged him, then she kissed her daughter. Uncle August and the Kemp family kissed and hugged them. It was a joyous occasion. Everyone was happy except Page.

A few minutes later, Chef Bruno walked to the venue followed by the waiters carrying Silver and Gold Chafing dishes. The food was mouthwatering.

During the reception, the newlyweds cut the slice of cake, but they didn’t feed each other because Keith was scared that his lovely wife might throw up.

Then Hope, Avery, and Page took the baskets and started serving the guests the cake. They gave each guest an elegant box with Keith and Bridgette’s names. The guests were over the moon and thanked them.

The DJ played a love song then Keith danced with his wife. Afterwards, Bridgette danced with her father. A few minutes later, Keith took his wife to his Presidential suite to rest.

Avery danced with her husband, then she danced with Grandpa Taylor. John danced with his wife and August danced with Caia.

Caia wished that it was their wedding ceremony. She felt at home in August’s strong arms. Around 7 pm, the guests started leaving. It was a wonderful day.
