CHAPTER 444
The D-day.
Cars had begun to troop into the large church compound. Sons and daughters, men and women alike trooped into the church where the union of the famous couple will be witnessed.
The decorations inside the church were rather elegant and glamorous. At the side of each seated aisle, were jasmine-scented candles hanging on floral curl golden structures.
Spread down the aisle white coloured most leaves that went as far as the eye could see. It gave off an outdoor wedding-style vibe since the outside was chilly to hold a wedding.
Each male guest present wore a suit and tuxedo of different colours, quality and designs. As for the ladies, they adorned themselves in beautiful dresses, jewellery, make-up and heels.
They all looked stunning in their own way. While they took their seats, they admired the interiors and decorations of the church and made little chit-chats with the person seated beside, behind or in front of them.
The seats in the front rows on either side were meant for the family of the couple and the bridesmaid and groomsmen. There, Mr and Mrs Li and old man Jiang sat.
As for the Ye's, Yang's, Mrs Yi and her son, they sat behind them based on their very close relationship with the couple's family.
"Today has finally come. I am so excited, Zhe. Our son is going to be a married man today," Mrs Li said in excitement she could not contain.
Mr Li let out a low chuckle and pats his wife's hands that were wrapped around his arm. "We raised him well. I feel so proud," he said.
They were looking at Li Fengjin, who by now was standing on the altar and beside him were his friends or rather, the groomsmen. They were there to ease his nervousness as he waited for his bride to arrive.
"Chaoxiang, do you think, Bai Renxiang would show up? What if she gets cold feet and runs off," Li Fengjin asks.
"Hehehe... Relax, bro. She would not miss this for the world."
Meanwhile, at Emperor's Palace Hotel close to one of the VIP rooms, the awaited winter bride sat on a chair as the make-up artists, hairstylists and designers made finish touches on her face, hair and clothing.
By the time they were done, Bai Renxiang went to stand before the full-length mirror in the room. She gasped softly at her fairylike appearance.
Her black hair was made into a neat stylish bridal bun held and decorated with silver-coloured hairpins at the back of her head. Her make-up was minimal with a touch of powder, a little blush on her cheeks and water-coloured lipgloss on her rosy lips.
Her eyebrows were shaped beautifully as well as her long eyelashes. Her wedding dress had flowering intricate designed netted materials covering the silk one underneath. The back of the dress was V-shaped and stopped t her mid-back, not showing too much of her milky white skin.
As for her net sleeves, it was stopped at her ankle, framing her slender shoulders downwards. From her waist down was a big ball of layers and layers of white clothes and nettings.
There were real little silver diamond stones attached to the net as well as flowering designs like the one on the blouse.
The bridesmaid as well as the women in charge of her look all looked at Bai Renxiang in awe. The way she stood there looked as if a fairy tale princess stepped out of the mirror into their world.
"Heavenly!" Was all they could mutter after seeing her.
"You look... Words can't even describe this," Ning Xiaozhi waved her hands gesturing up and down at Bai Renxiang.
"Mrs Li, you look gorgeous. Way more than gorgeous, in fact," one of the stylists complimented her.
"Thank you. You all helped me look this way," Bai Renxiang said with a small smile.
Taking a diamond stored necklace, matching earrings and a silver tiara with a transparent diamond in the middle, the hairstylist stood before Bai Renxiang. She wore all those for her.
"Now, for the final touch to make you look like a real princess, let me place this in your hair. Please bend your head a little."
Just as she was about to, they heard a knock on the door.
*knock knock*
"Is the bride ready? The wedding is about to..." Jiang Meilin paused at what she was seeing. "...start," she completed while staring in awe at her daughter.
"Sweetie you look like an angel on earth."
"Thanks, mum. You also look like an angel," Bai Renxiang returned the comment.
Seeing the mother and daughter pair, the ladies decided to give them a little privacy.
"Let me do the honours if you may?" Jiang Meilin asked the hairstylists who held the tiara.
The hairstylist smiled and obliged. Once the two of them were alone, Bai Renxiang bent down a little and Jiang Meilin carefully placed the tiara on her hair.
"There you go. My princess," Jiang Meilin whispered.
Bai Renxiang smiled and sighed. She was nervous and Jiang Meilin noticed.
"Don't be nervous or scared of anything. You and Fengjin will do well together from now on," she encouraged.
"I pray and believe so."
"Good. Now, smile naturally and go walk down that aisle. Your prince charming is waiting," Jiang Meilin pats her shoulder.
"Is he fine? I haven't seen him since yesterday. How does he look? Is he also nervous?" Bai Renxiang bombarded her mother with questions at the mention of Li Fengjin.
"Hehehe... He is fine and as dashing as ever. And yes, he is nervous according to your momma. But he has his friends there to comfort him as you do. So, don't make his nervousness increase. Go out there and give everyone a show."
"I'll do my best."
"Hmm. See you later, sweetie. Good luck."
"Thank you."
As soon as Jiang Meilin left, the bridesmaid all came in so that they could go to the church together.
