"Hmmm…." Michael did not immediately answer Sarah's words. Reflexively his index finger immediately tapped on the table.
He was thinking.
To be honest, Michael had already thought about who his guests would be, and after sorting it, there were so many of them that he intended to rent a hotel ballroom.
He has many business partners, and his wedding can be used as a place to maintain existing business relationships.
After all, he is a businessman.
However, Sarah wants to do a small wedding and doesn't want to invite his business partner?
Meanwhile, Sarah watched Michael in amazement when she saw that he seemed to be thinking.
It seems the saying that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree is true.
How could that man look so much like Gabriel? Her youngest child also made the same facial expression when he was thinking.
"Fine," Michael replied after more or less a five-minute silence. "We will do that," he continued with a smile on his face.
Sarah's lips curved into a smile when she heard that. Looks like Michael has made up his mind.
"Are you sure?" asked Sarah to make sure once again. While she was happy with Michael's decision, he wasn't sure if Michael actually agreed with her.
He nodded.
"There is a saying that a woman should be the queen at her wedding, so I want to make my queen happy with her wedding later," Michael answered confidently with a smile.
Sarah couldn't hide her pleasure when she heard that. Apparently, Michael really really fell for her to give in like that.
"Then, let's discuss the concept. Since this is a small wedding, there might be a few spots we can use. Ah, just a moment, I'll take my laptop first," Michael said then immediately stood up and took his laptop which was in the living room.
Once in the living room, Michael saw his two kids still busy staring at the TV screen and ignoring him as he passed. Michael just smiled at that. That's actually good for him.
As for Sarah, she decided to take the fruit from the refrigerator and cut it as a snack that would accompany them to discuss their wedding.
A few minutes later, the two couples started looking busy looking for small wedding references that they could do.
"How about we do it on the beach?" asked Michael when he saw the reference photo that came out.
As far as he could remember, Sarah loves the beach, so maybe their wedding could be held there.
Sarah didn't answer right away and took a good look at the photo.
They were planning their wedding in early spring, it certainly wouldn't be as cold as in winter, but it would definitely be a bit chilly later on.
"No, I don't want to do it on the beach," Sarah said, shaking her head. "It's probably still too cold, and the wind will blow my hair and dress everywhere," Sarah continued.
Maybe in a movie there is a wedding that takes place near the beach and looks beautiful. However, she had to be realistic, it definitely wouldn't be that beautiful.
Michael nodded hearing that, looks like the beach can't be done. They then started looking for other references to hold their wedding.
"Ah! How about we do it on the rooftop?" Michael asked again when he saw one more reference.
"Looks like the atmosphere is going to be good. We can do it when the sun is about to set," continued Michael, starting to plan again.
Sarah didn't immediately answer after hearing that and looked like she was thinking.
Rooftop does look good. She could also see the view of the city that she likes so much, and if they did it in the afternoon, they could see the sunset.
However, somehow Sarah felt there was something lacking with it.
Everything seems to sound good, but it's like something is missing.
"You… don't like it?" Michael asked cautiously when he saw the look on Sarah's face.
Sarah nodded and smiled apologetically.
"That does sound very good, Michael. However, I don't think I want to do the wedding at night," Sarah replied with an apologetic smile.
"You want to do it during the day?" asked Michael, a little surprised to hear that. "Are we even able to do it? We might be able to take a day off, but people work during the day," Michael continued, slightly disagreeing with that.
Sarah was a little taken aback at this. Oh yeah, Michael's right.
"Let's check what day it is," Sarah said.
She really wanted to do it during the day!
Michael's hand that was holding the mouse then immediately moved to the right corner, pressed the calendar and saw the date for next year.
"Oh! It's Sunday! Seems like we're not cursed," Sarah replied with a smile.
Michael chuckled at that. How come the date falls on a Sunday? Isn't this going according to what Sarah planned?
"But why don't you want to do the wedding at night?" asked Michael, confused.
Don't people usually have their wedding at night?
"So we can both be together at night," Sarah replied with a teasing smile on her face.
Michael's lips curved into a smile at that. His heart was pounding again. This woman is literally driving him crazy!
"Hahaha, look at your face," Sarah said with a chuckle. "But I'm serious. Instead of us partying until midnight, it will only make us tired. We're not young anymore, Michael," Sarah continued seriously.
"You talk like we're so old," Michael said with a frown. "Stop saying that," he continued.
"Right, right, you don't need to be pouting like that," Sarah replied, holding back her smile.
Apparently, Michael has become a bit sensitive with his age now.
"Okay! So we've decided to do it during the day. Then where should we do it?" he asked.
Sarah didn't answer. She hadn't thought about that.
Michael then moved his hand to see the reference, then both of them looked serious looking at it.
"What if we just do it at the hotel?" asked Michael who finally gave up looking. He really wanted their wedding to be a little different this time and not do it in a hotel, like before.
However, it seems like doing what people normally do is the best option for them.
"Hmmm ..." Sarah again did not answer. To be honest, she was okay with hotels, but she wanted to do it a little differently.
She chose to do a small wedding so that it would be more intimate and private. If in a hotel, isn't the room too big? She didn't want to do that.
"Mommy!"
Suddenly, a child's voice could be heard by them. Both of them then immediately turned to the source of the sound and saw two small kids walking towards them.
Ah! It seemed their time alone together was up.
"What are Mommy and Daddy doing?" Raphael asked curiously.
After the cartoon ended, he immediately looked around to find his Mommy and Daddy, then saw the two of them at the dining table, as if they were doing something.
"Ah! Daddy and Mommy are making our sister?" Gabriel asked excitedly. "Let me see! Show it to me, Daddy!" he continued and immediately climbed into a chair to look at his father's laptop.
Michael chuckled at that. Actually, how does his youngest child's brain work?
"Daddy and Mommy are not making your sister. It's not made like you are drawing," Michael replied gently while stroking his youngest son's head.
"Awww." Gabriel looked disappointed to hear that.
"Mommy, can you read me a Santa story?" asked Raphael who sat next to Sarah.
"You want to sleep already?" Sarah asked, turning to her son.
Raphael nodded. "But I want Mommy to read me a story. Santa Story!" he answered while looking at Sarah with a sleepy facial expression.
"Okay, let's go!" Sarah said with a smile. She then turned to Michael and looked at the man apologetically.
Michael just sighed and nodded hearing that. It seems, for today their conversation ends here.
Sarah then immediately left with her kids into their room to read them a story, while Michael decided to look through the references again.
***
"Are they sleeping?" Michael asked, turning his head as the door to their kids's room opened and the figure of Sarah appeared.
"Yes," Sarah answered nodding then walked to the dining table and sat back in her chair earlier
"Here are some references that I found and maybe we can do it," said Michael then showed some of the pictures he had saved earlier to ask Sarah's opinion.
Sarah looked at that for a moment, then turned to Michael.
"To be honest, I've thought of something."
When Sarah was reading a fairy tale to her kids, suddenly the thought crossed her mind.
"Oh? What's that?" asked Michael, confused.
Sarah then opened her mouth, telling Michael what she was thinking.
"What do you think?" Sarah asked when she finished telling her story. The expression on his face was a little unsure because he knew Michael probably wouldn't like that.
"Wow! It was incredible! Let's do it!" answered Michael with a big smile on his face. He also agreed with what the woman said.
