Nine months later, my water broke. It exceeded the estimated due date by three days. Since my husband wanted to accompany me when I delivered our first baby, he already had day-offs for a week.
I didn’t realize it at first, but when I saw water on the floor of the living room, I frowned. Our housekeeper already cleaned our house, so why did I see water on the floor? Then I felt an ache on my stomach. When I saw my wet dress, I just realized my water broke. Then the contraction happened, and I panicked.
So, I rushed to call my husband. “Darling, let’s go to the hospital! My water broke!”
“What?! Oh, okay!”
He took my luggage and rushed to put it in the car baggage. Then he held my hand and helped me enter the car. After I wa

Finally, it was our wedding. After the wedding ceremony, we had lunch and mingled with our guests.My friends attended the party, and so was Denzel. He came with a beautiful woman. When we shook hands, he said, “Congratulations, Lana. Oh, I’m with my girlfriend, Regina. If all goes well, maybe we will follow your steps next year.”I beamed because it was good news. I was happy for him. “Oh, wonderful! I’m so happy for you.” Then I smiled at Denzel’s girlfriend. “Nice to meet you, Regina. I hope I’ll attend your wedding next year.”Regina blushed and nodded. “Thank you and congratulations on your wedding.”They shook hands with Edward too. We had many guests today. Cecil, Jenny, and Anna hugged
When he saw me, he put his arms around me and kissed my forehead. “So, got your dress yet?”I nodded. “It’s beautiful. Wait until you see it. Your mom said you’d like it too.”“Yes, her taste in fashion is great. So, we are in good hands when my mom involves herself to help in this area.”We left the boutique. “Where will we go?” I asked.“To our house. I want to make sure you choose any furniture and details that you like.” Despite buying a house with the furniture, it still lacked a personal touch. So, I was glad to add things I liked.We sat in the living room and started listing things we wanted to change or add there. Then we visited all
Six months later, the wedding preparation was almost finished. Today my mom, Edward’s mom, and I went to a few boutiques to find my wedding dress. We came to the boutiques because Edward’s mom fetched us with her driver.When the shop assistant noticed Edward’s mom, she immediately greeted her, “Mrs. Johnson, great to see you again.”“Thank you. I’m with my in-law, Mrs. Smith, and my future daughter-in-law, Lana Smith. We want to buy a wedding dress for my future daughter-in-law.”The shop assistant bowed her head. “Yes, Mrs. Johnson. Great to meet you, Mrs. and Miss Smith.” Then she led us to a couch. “Please have a seat first while I’ll ask to prepare our newest collection. Do you want tea or coffee?”
Edward held my hand and helped me exit the car. He escorted me, and we walked for a while. “Where are we going?” I asked. “What surprise did you have for me? I’m curious.”He chuckled and squeezed my hand. “You’ll see. Just wait. It won’t take too long from now.”So, we kept walking. Then he stopped and whispered in my ear, “Are you ready, baby?”“Yes.” I smiled though I couldn’t see anything. “Can I open the blindfold?”“Not yet. Wait until someone helps you to remove the blindfold, okay?”I nodded, but I wondered what surprise he had prepared for me. I was more curious because the blindfold was thick until I saw nothing. So, I tried to listen, but still it was nothing. I couldn’t hear anything. But then, my blindfold was opened. Before I could react to see who did it, I saw Edward on his knee. “My love, Lana Smith, I know our parents have met today and discussed our upcoming wedding, but I want to ask you. We have been through ups and downs together. After everything we’ve been t
In our culture, marriage wasn’t only about the two of us, but also the two families. So, despite Edward already telling me about his desire to marry me, we still needed to involve our parents in the wedding preparation. Edward’s parents visited my parents’ house. My dad and mom welcomed them because they were excited to get to know them. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith, our children are so good together,” Mr. Robert said. “I think it’s best if we discuss their wedding soon. Edward is 35, almost 36 this year. Also, Lana is 28. Since they love each other, how about if we plan their wedding soon?”My dad nodded while glancing at both Edward and I. He smiled at Mr. Robert. “What you said is true. I like Edward like my son. Lana is our only child, and if she married your son, it feels like we have a new son. I agree with the wedding plan. So, when is the best time?”“How about six months from now?” Edward’s father said. “I don’t think we need to wait for longer. They fit each other. The sooner they
