" Oh my God ,it was a dream "
" Valerie we need to get you dressed for your wedding you are going to be late "
" Where is Edward "
" His getting ready ,just go take a shower we don't have much time left "
" I would love to see him please "
"Am afraid that cant be possible , Don't worry You will have him all to yourself,by the end of today So get your ass out if the bed "
I felt so weak and nervous at the same time , Ella and Mary led me into the bathroom , While lady Tracy was waiting patiently for me to come out .
Ella and Mary took their time to bath me ,I felt really uncomfortable ,but I had to stay still .
" Must we have to do this "
" Yes my lady you need to get cleaned up, Today is your wedding day"
" I know but I can bath Myself "
" Stay still My lady very soon you are going to become a married woman ,We wouldn't be needed anymore "
" Don't say that Ella , You will always be by my side "
Mary left the bath pool and later came back with a towel .
" My lady ,you have to go get dressed ,I don't want you to late for your wedding "
"Sure "
I came out of the bath pool and Mary handed me a robe to wear , Then I came back to my room , Immediately lady Tracy saw me , She clapped her both hands together .
" Great ,I was thinking you don't want to come out of the bathroom , I came to a conclusion to come drag you out my self "
" Am here now lady Tracy "
She pulled me to sit in front of the mirror , Then she quickly stayed working on my hair .
" I think you need to stop addressing me formal , Because in few hours time you are going to be my sister in law ,So it will be better you start calling me sister , What do you think "
" Huh ? "
" Don't tell me you were not listening to me all this while "
" Am sorry I was thinking about something "
" You shouldn't think too much about it "
" Huh ? what are you talking about "
" You know what am talking about "
" Pardon me My lady but am a little bit confused "
" You shouldn't be lady Valerie , I know you are scared of consummating your marriage ,I will help you with some tip once am done with your makeup .
She finished packing my hair and asked Ella and Mary,to get my wedding dress ready , Then she continued when she noticed that no one was in the room .
" You don't have to scared it's something every woman must experience, It's beautiful trust me you will love it , You know My brother loves you so much to be patient enough to wait for you ,I have never seen Edward this patient before with anyone .But I must say you are indeed a luck girl lady Valerie , Am happy my brother chose you as his wife "
" Thank you so much lady tra..."
" I prefer you call me sister Tracy we are going to be sisters soon "
' Yes sister Tracy "
" May Artemis bless you with so many children "
" Thank you lady Tracy "
Just then Bethel and Ella walked in with the wedding dress .
" Time to wear your dress Lady valerie "
" Okay "
My heart started beating fast , I felt so nervous , Suddenly I felt someone holding my hand I raised my head to see who it was , Lady Tracy was holding my hand in hers ,she looked into my eyes and gave me a reassuring smile .
Finally I wore my wedding dress ,and stood in front of a huge mirror , Lady Tracy couldn't stop gushing about my dress , Why Bethel on the other hand was lost in thoughts .
Suddenly we heard a knock on the door and everyone turned towards the direction where the knock was coming from , Bethel decided to go see who it was ,when she opened the door my mother stepped in .
" I hope am not disturbing the girls moment '
" Not at all mama "
" If you don't mind can i have a word with my daughter in private"
" Sure ,that wouldn't be a problem "
Everyone started leaving the room one after the other , Until there was no one left expect for me and my mother ,she slowly walked up to me ,I could see tears flowing from her eyes .
" Mama are you okay "
" Yes darling,Am happy "
She got closer me and held my face in her hand .
" Am happy , Just look at how my baby girl have grown so big , And now she's going to get married , You know all my life ,I never thought you will get married before your sister Bethel ,You have always been the calm ,and reserved one all this while , But look at you today in a wedding dress ,Am so happy my darling daughter I wished your father was here today to witness this ,I can't believe his no more "
" It's okay mama ,I believe that papa will be happy were ever he is right now "
" I agree with you "
She brought out a box and handed it over to me .
" Here this the veil I wore on my wedding day to your father ,I know this is nothing to compare to your wedding dress but please do me the honor of wearing it ,I kept it because I thought Bethel will get married first , But since you are getting married first , You need to wear it "
I held the box tightly in my hand tears was threatening to fall out of my eyes "
" Thank you mama I will wear this for my wedding "
Her smile brightened up , She held my hand.
" Listen to me Valerie ,Marriage is filled with ups and downs , But your ability to handle issues makes yours the sweetest ,No matter what happens don't give up on your husband , Rather give him a shoulder to cry on when his down , lastly don't ever deny him your body okay "
" Okay mama "
She Led me to sit in front of the dressing mirror and placed the veil hair .
' You look so beautiful my lady '
" Thank you mama "
I kissed the back of her palm , but we got interrupted when we heard a knock on the door , Suddenly the door was opened and Lady Tracy walked in .
" It's time we need to leave now Edward is becoming impatient "
I got up and hugged my mother tightly before letting her go .
" Remember my advice okay dear "
" Yes mother "
Bethel and Lady Tracy led me out of the room to the venue of the wedding.
