Valority of Yves

A vast area and a path leading to a stage is seen decorated in a blanket of flowers in the colours of white, rose quartz, blush hues with hints of gold-white net on the columns, chairs and tables with beautiful vases and flowers 🌸🪻🌺 in them.The surface is covered in a vibrant carpet of flowers and velvet.

Soon the venue is filled with guests arriving one after another dressed in their nines, chattering of some, laughters of others and sounds of children playing are heard.

In the midst of it, a large white rolls royce arrives, as the valet opens the door a tall, handsome man exits the car 🏎️ dressed in a classic jet-black tuxedo paired with a white shirt accompanied by a platinum brooch representing the initials Y and D adorned with glittering diamonds 💎, glossy oxford black tuxedo shoes 👞, pompadour styled black hair, his whole existence screaming that he is the groom, the man of the hour.

The groom walks to the other side of the car and opens the door revealing a breathtakingly beautiful bride, the woman of the hour. The bride is dressed in a stunning white bridal gown with a watteau- monarch train of 10 feet, cathedral veil, an illusion jewel neck style with back covered by strings of crystalline diamonds 💎 paired with jeweled white stilleto pumps 👠, carrying white roses🌹.

They both walk gracefully as the bride👰🏻‍♀️ is accompanied by the groom🤵🏻‍♀️, placing her hand on his arm taking the much needed support to walk in that dress and heels👠. As they walk, the reach the room designated for them to wait till the ceremony begins.

Haaaah! (they both let a long sigh) representing the nervousness and tiredness from the preparations and chuckle 🤭 at their mirrored feelings.

A knock is heard on the door revealing a man in his 50's dressed in a three- piece suit in brown🟤 colour, he enters the room and walks straight to the bride giving out a bright smile which holds love, warmth and a tid bit of sadness revealing his feelings apparent on his face.

Seeing the man, the bride gets up from her seat and hugs🤗 him. Then the man and the groom exit the room to greet the guests giving the bride space and time to relax.

Outside the groom and his parents with the bride's uncle greet the guests with a warm welcoming smile plastered on their faces. The guests slowly get settled in their respective seats with their children playing in the play area, anticipating the main characters to make an appearance while the event unfolds.

As the time gets going, the groom heads back to the designated room to inform the bride of the start of the event with her Uncle. They both enter the room only to find it empty without the bride in sight. Flabbergasted, they both search the room and the attached powder room to it, only to find the emptiness.

The bride is gone!

The groom panicking calls the bride on her mobile 📱, revealing the line on the other end is switched off, then he calls his parents and they all begin their search for the bride.

Half an hour passed by, as the search continues but to no avail. This created tension among the guests with whispers getting loud and loud 🔊.

The bride left the venue!

The bride fled away!

The bride doesn't want to get married!

Among the whispers and tension, the groom suddenly remembers the words spoken by the bride before.

'Whenever I feel lonely, sad or if there is something weighing on my mind, I always come here to let out everything that has been weighing me down, as I can speak my mind here without any restraints and share all my worries and secrets'. "This tree is my secret keeper and this place is my serenity."

The groom ensuring his parents and uncle rushed towards the parking area.

As his thoughts filled with certainty, he got into the car and drove past the streets and people to a place filled with silence and trees.

It was a place where people would come when they miss their dear ones, a place full of sadness, tears and pain; a place full of silence and peace, a place visited with hearts full of emotions and mind full of stories to share. A place every being shall visit.

Parking the car, he walked towards the one spot with quick paces, where a huge lush green oak tree is seen, with its branches spread wide, covered with leaves shadowing a large area.

Sitting below it, is a woman dressed in a wedding gown holding a bouquet of white roses. As he walks towards the tree, the image of the woman gets clearer and clearer, revealing his bride with a face full of tears and smiles.

As he walks nearer and nearer and stops about two steps behind the bride, she turns her at the sound of footsteps stopped. Lifting her head, she utters the words...

You found me!

With a bright smile, brighter than the sparkling of the diamonds on her clothes and beautiful than the flowers she held.

As she spoke the words, she extended her arms to her groom, and they both embraced each other in a hug full of emotions and words spoken without voice only to be heard through hearts, expressed through bodies.

After a while, time enough to get through all the emotions and gather themselves, they sat below the tree in silence, conversing through their eternal connection, built over the years together.

Few minutes later the bride finally spoke Let's go! I'm ready now.

Smiling he got up from his spot and helped her stand up and walked away from the tree. When they reached enough distance as the tree got small yet can be seen, she gave one last glance over the tree then to her groom, as she spoke the words in her mind..

Mom! Dad! This is the man I love. Watch over us!
