Getting Married Next

The music resonated across the open garden of the Diamond Hotel, Rose Hills. Everybody stood up to welcome the bride.

Shantelle took a video from her seat of how her best friend, Karise, was walking from afar, her head up, her smile reaching her ears. She waved at Karise, and her friend waved back.

The wedding started with an intimate garden ceremony behind the hotel. As the sun was setting, LED candles lighted the aisle. Petals gathered on each side, where rows of seats were positioned.

More than twenty floral arches stood in the same aisle, adding refinement as Karise took her special walk. Unlike Shantelle’s wedding, Keith’s and Karise’s only had around five hundred guests. Only a few from Keith’s family showed up, which was already expected.

Mostly, the visitors were from Karise’s side of the family, co-workers, and employees of Keith. Of course, Keith’s best friends and their families were also present.

The Thompsons and William Scott celebrated with them. Only Lucas stayed home with Eleanor and Miguel. Naturally, the twins stayed home since they were not allowed outside yet.

Sean’s entire family was present. Wendell’s parents and his brother’s fiance also attended the gathering.

Karise had an off-shoulder gown, patterned with lace and adorned with gleaming pearls. Her skirt had several layers of chiffon fabric. It flowed freely, following an A-line cut, only that the back stretched further, creating a stunning tale.

She had her hair down, perfectly formed into soft curls. They were accented by gleaming purple hairpins. Her hairstyle went well with her drop earrings and grand necklace.

When Karise’s father held her arm, she looked straight at the front, where Keith was clearly the proudest.

Shantelle knew there were videographers around, but she wanted her own video, one that she could share with Lucas. She recorded the right

moment as Keith gasped upon seeing Karise. Obviously, he had underestimated how Karise would look in her gown.

Keith wound up hugging Karise, encouraging laughter in the air. They both were giggling, flirting right in front of the crowd. They whispered to each other, and the guests could only speculate what they had covered before the ceremony.

From his seat, Evan had to say, “Get a room! We will wait for you back here! No rush!”

Eventually, Karise and Keith let go of their embrace, Thanks to Evan.

Following the garden ceremony, all the guests entered the hotel, where the next part of the celebration would take place. An hour break allowed the visitors to indulge in some snacks.

Shantelle and Evan were chatting with their friends. Wendell came alone, since he and his girlfriend, Salome, were having problems. Sean was with his girlfriend, named Brooklyn. Then, there were Felice and Celeste.

Milan Gray, the fiance of Wendell’s brother, approached as their group talked about the earlier ceremony. She said, “Wendell, I am heading home. Your older brother still isn’t here, and your father is

starting to ask why. I came here as Rowan’s plus one, but he still isn’t here. Last time I checked, he was still at your house, reading his email, but I’m just… upset, and I don’t want to deal with it.”

Evan and Sean fell silent. If anything, they felt sorry for Milan. Wendell’s older brother, Rowan, had clearly been ignoring his fiance. Shantelle and the girls, on the other hand, were mere spectators.

After Wendell’s father retired as the city prosecutor, their family ventured into the manpower business, partly owned by Milan’s parents, the Grays. So when Rowan and Milan started dating, Wendell’s brother was automatically awarded the president seat of the company. Thus, Wendell knew how important it was for his brother to keep a healthy relationship with Milan.

Hearing her future sister-in-law being upset, Wendell offered, “I’ll check on my brother at home. Relax! Enjoy the celebration.”

‘Til come with you,” Milan said.

“You know what? Shanty and I will come with you,” Evan offered. The man figured he could talk some sense into Wendell’s older brother. With

Shantelle with them, she can soothe Milan in a quick girl talk.

Thus, instead of waiting for an hour for Keith’s and Karise’s wedding celebration to start, the party of four left for Wendell’s home.

Wendell’s family, the Francos, were very family group-oriented, so much so that despite being old, Wendell and Rowan remained living in their mansion with their parents.

It took only half an hour to arrive. When Wendell and his group walked into the house, the maids gave Wendell strange looks. They were shocked to find him there at that time.

Still, Wendell ignored the odd stares. He and Evan went straight to the study where they expected Rowan to be. On the other hand, Shantelle kept interviewing Milan while they waited in the living room.

When Wendell did not find his brother inside the study, he inquired from one maid, “Where is Rowan?”

The maid formed beads of sweat. At first, she gave Wendell a run-around, but eventually, Evan interfered, saying, “We don’t have all day! Where is Rowan?”

“He The maid glanced at the living room where Milan and Shantelle sat. She shook her head and admitted, “He is… in his room.” The maid looked down, softly adding, “With Miss Salome.” i

Dead air fell upon them. Evan froze in shock. Not that it was strange for acquaintances to be together, but did it have to be in the bedroom?

At the same time, Wendell paled. He wondered, ‘Just what is this maid implying? My girlfriend and my older brother?’

Without another word, Wendell ran upstairs, racing toward his brother’s room. Evan ran after Wendell. The man said, “Maybe, she misunderstood.”

“The maid did not suggest anything, Evan!” Wendell shot back.

As soon as they were nearer to the wing where Rowan’s room was located, Wendell signaled Evan to keep his mouth shut. When Wendell stood by his brother’s bedroom, he pressed his ear against the door to get a feel of what was happening inside.

He could hear a woman’s moans and the bed squeaking. Wendell’s heart raced, angered by what could be happening inside. He certainly hoped the maid was wrong and that his girlfriend, Salome, wasn’t playing with his older brother in the room.

Adrenaline kicked in, and Wendell kicked the door! The door swung open, and right before his eyes, he saw his girlfriend, Salome, totally bare and still on top of his naked older brother.

“What the fuck is the meaning of this, Rowan? What the hell?!” Wendell asked. “You are my fucking brother! Aren’t you supposed to be getting married to Milan?”

Rowan and Salome quickly peeled off from each other, but it was too late. Before they could even get dressed, Milan appeared in that doorway in shock.

Ultimately, Wendell’s family, the Francos, all returned home due to the incident at their house. They were no longer able to join the wedding celebration of Keith and Karise.

While Wendell’s family tried to resolve their internal matters, Shantelle and Evan returned to the party, both dumbfounded.

In the car, Shantelle said, “You know what, I never liked Salome for

Wendell. She is too high maintenance. I hope Wendell breaks up with her.” i

“I will punch him in the face if he doesn’t,” Evan said. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Poor Milan, though. That must have been heartbreaking,” Shantelle said.” That short talk with her was enough to tell me she is a very nice girl. Too bad she fell in love with the wrong person.”

Evan cleared his throat and said, “Or the wrong brother?”

***

Evan and Shantelle momentarily forgot their friend’s predicament. Instead, they genuinely celebrated Keith’s and Karise’s wedding party.

Since Shantelle was bump-free, she danced with Evan on the dance floor with the newly wedded couple. She and Evan drank wine, participated in the games, and offered speeches to their close friends.

Shantelle was the first one to speak. She said, “To my best friend, Karise, I could not be happier that another good friend is in your care. Call it fate. Maybe things happened for a reason, that you both found each other while getting entangled with mine and Evan’s endeavors. And so, here you are, married and incredibly in love.”

She smiled brightly and added, “I wish you all the best, and from everything that we have been through and overcame, I know we will be best friends for life.”

Sean spoke next. He told about the happy times, living the life of a bachelor, and how he never expected Keith to get hitched first. He said,” Now you left me unmarried. I pray that Karise will toss the bouquet to my girlfriend so I can join you and Evan into the married life!” 1

Laughter filled the air, following Sean’s words. It took a while for everyone to soothe their amusement, but soon, Evan stood up. He said, “Keith, I am probably the most relieved person in this banquet to know you are already married, and only a few of us will understand why. I am glad we did not let our trials break our friendship, for here you are now, completely not my problem anymore, but Karise’s.”

The Thompsons and William laughed thoroughly in their seats. Sean was also at it, laughing his heart out. Shantelle’s friends were the same, cracking up. Most of their guests did not know about Keith and Evan’s history, but it did not stop them from laughing with them.

***

Moments later, the party ended. At ten in the evening, the friends were still in front of the table, chatting and drinking. Only Karise had a liquor ban.

Suddenly, Wendell arrived, looking utterly lost.

“Wendell? I heard what happened,” Keith said, standing up. He offered a hug saying, “Forget, Salome, man, and, please, get the fucking out of your house so you won’t see your brother anymore -”

“I’m getting married,” Wendell announced, cutting off Keith’s words.
