Capítulo 30: Wedding day

Standing at the altar in a classically nuanced church, that is what Leonardo is doing now. he looks so handsome wearing a black tuxedo, with the priest, his father, his uncle, and also his younger brother named Ronald Steven McCartney, the man smiled, looking at Georgina, who walked towards him by embracing her father's arm, crossed the red carpet where on her right and left were guests sitting in their seats.

'Wow ... I never dreamed of this ... never. I've been dating Zoe for so long, but in the end, it's Georgina who's going to be my wife. I promised myself to get married once in my life, and I would not let the prenuptial agreement go into effect. I know she's good, she will deserve to be my wife as well as I deserve to be her husband too,' he thought as he continued to stare at Georgina who was getting closer to hi

Georgina walked with her head down, wearing a strapless white dress with love-shaped beads all over the leaf surface and wearing a white veil on her half-up updo with ribbon hair, and wearing diamond jewelry that made her look so elegant..'I don't know what this marriage means, sometimes I feel relieved but I also hate it. I can't find wisdom, but I also don't know what will happen to me if I stay with Sebastian who turns out to be not as good as I thought....I can only give up now... hoping that God will guide me... if Leonardo is really good for me, then God should open my heart to love him,' she thought as she got closer to Leonardo so that she could see his handsome face with a thin beard and neat hair.

"Leonardo," whispered Danilo.

Leonardo smiled warmly then held out his hand to Georgina.

Georgina immediately let go of her arms on her father's arm then grabbed Leonardo's hand who immediately pulled her to stand beside him.

"I entrust her to you. Whatever happens, promise to always accept it and do the best for her. I know you are an adult. You know what is best for the two of you. And this marriage is not just a responsibility," Danilo said with a flat look.

Leonardo just nodded and then asked Georgina to face the priest.

On the seat, Regina with Camille and Stefania, who are Georgina's sisters, watched Georgina and Leonardo who were undergoing a series of blessing processes with the priest.

Stefania was silent with anxiety, remembering that Leonardo was Zoe's previous boyfriend.

"Zoe treats me like an enemy now," she said.

."Actually it's not fair, because you don't interfere in their business," replied Max who is Stefania's husband who sits while holding their son who is around 8 months old.

"Still Zoe will hate me because Georgina is my sister..."

"so what will you do? .they have to marry for the sake of their child... and by the way, they are also very compatible, moreover, our family is also quite close to his family..." Max said casually. "I don't think there's anything wrong with this marriage... Even Mrs. Camille and Mommy look so happy." he glanced at Regina and Camille stared ahead.

"compatible doesn't mean match. I'm afraid that if they continue to not get along then they will get divorced... it's useless to do this marriage... it will only change Georgina's status from single to divorced... that's bad." Stefania exhaled harshly and turned her face away, feeling unbearable to see Georgina who was forced to marry. 'Even though there are other ways to be responsible for her pregnancy... they don't have to get married,' she thought disappointedly.

"Mr.Leonardo Frank McCartney, do you accept Georgina Florencia Lopez as your wife?" asked the dashing priest who was wearing a black suit.

"I do..." Leonardo nodded.

the priest turned to Georgina. "Miss Georgina Florencia Lopez, would you accept Mr. Leonardo Frank McCartney as your husband?"

Georgina was silent with her head down, feeling sad and still being overshadowed by Sebastian and as if she wasn't ready to accept this marriage but circumstances made her have no choice.

"Miss Georgina?" the priest called again, while Leonardo glanced at Georgina worriedly, worried that he would refuse and eventually call off the wedding.

"Yes, I do..." Georgina said spontaneously, and Leonardo felt relieved.

"Now you face each other and hold hands," the priest asked.

Georgina and Leonardo immediately faced each other and joined hands, while the priest immediately led them to take turns saying the vows of marriage.

"I…. Leonardo Frank McCartney, accept you, Georgina Florencia Lopez to be my wife, to have and take care of each other from now until forever. .when it's hard or happy... rich or poor... and when healthy or sick. always love and respect each other, until death does us part, according to God's holy law, and this is my most sincere promise," said Leonardo with a warm gaze and a smile that has never faded for Georgina who instead looked at it awkwardly.

With her body trembling a little because she was nervous and awkward and even sad, Georgina started to follow the direction of the priest to say the sacred vows.

"I, Georgina Florencia Lopez, take you, Leonardo Frank McCartney to be my husband, to own and take care of each other from now on forever. love and respect, till death, do us part.us, according to God's holy law, and this is my sincere promise."

suddenly Georgina was shy with a light of relief on her pretty face, then looked down a little because Leonardo's smile seemed to make her heart stop beating. she couldn't deny that Leonardo's good looks were enough to charm her, and it was like a joke because before she considered him an enemy.

"Now, I pronounce you husband and wife. Now you may wear each other's rings," said the priest, smiling at Leonardo.

Leonardo immediately took the ring that had been provided by the companion there, then put it on Georgina's ring finger, and he put the ring on her finger. After that, they stared at each other, and spontaneously the man kissed his wife's lips gently.

Georgina could only resign herself to receiving a kiss from Leonardo and immediately closed her eyes in embarrassment. but for some reason, she felt this kiss was very meaningful, different from the first kiss when they were in the music room.

'I don't know why, this feels very sacred, and he seems serious about this marriage,' she thought.

"Huuu..."

the sound of people cheering and clapping made Leonardo immediately end the kiss and smile at Georgina.

"We have to act happy," he said softly.

"Um .... okay ...," Georgina replied awkwardly and turned to face the guests and reflexively held Leonardo's hand. 'So this happy attitude is just an act to make us look like a happy couple? could it be that he is not serious about this marriage?' she wondered, disappointed and thinking not to get too carried away by Leonardo's attitude.

"Come on," Leonardo whispered.

Georgina woke up from her reverie and immediately walked with Leonardo towards their family who stood welcoming, like the other guests.

"Oh, my daughter..."

Regina immediately hugged Georgina for a moment and immediately let go, staring at her face with teary eyes.

"Honey, mommy sure that this is the best for you. Don't think that this is a disaster ... Leonardo will be a good husband for you and you must also learn to be a good wife for him, this is for happiness for the baby and yourself too," she said.

"Yes, Mom." Georgina nodded with tears in her eyes, then turned to Camille while her mother walked over to Leonardo.

"Leo..." Leonardo immediately got a hug from Regina for a moment then let go.

"I know you're good, And I'm sure you did that to her because you were probably attracted to her and also carried away by alcohol....but I'm trying to think it was God's way of bringing you two together... God has a beautiful plan for you," she said worriedly, remembering Leonardo who was previously dating Zoe while Georgina was always curt at him. ."I hope you will be patient with Georgina's attitude, no matter what happens... hold on... and I hope when you are annoyed with her, you don't think about going back to Zoe... I know you love her, but from this second, learn to love Georgina...she is so precious...Don't hurt her," she continued.

"Don't worry," Leonardo replied with a smile, then glanced at Georgina who was approaching her sister. "It would be very easy to fall in love with her...she is beautiful and attractive," he continued then hugged Regina again.

Georgina looked at Stefania awkwardly, but Stefania immediately hugged her.

"I'm sorry ... because of me, your friendship with Zoe ended," she said through tears.

"It's okay..." Stefania rubbed Georgina's back. "You don't have to think about that, we'll be friends again... I'm sure of that."

Georgina let go of her hug.

."Don't be sad anymore and don't think about anything other than what makes you comfortable and also your baby," Stefania said with a smile, but her heart was so sad to see the fate of her poor sister in the journey of love, even her education. 'Surely after this, you don't want to go to campus because of embarrassment... I hope Leonardo will help you with your education... he must be responsible not only for your pregnancy but for the consequences of your pregnancy too,' she thought.
