New Life : A Second Chance-Chapter 902 - Finale

Sayuri stood in front of the full length mirror, turning left and right as she admired herself.

Kay came up from behind her, putting her hands on Sayuri's shoulder, saying, "You look beautiful."

Sayuri smiled.

Today was her big day.

The wedding ceremony that Kyle had promised her so long ago.

7 years, to be exact.

"Yes, Mummy! You look beautiful!" pipped Rory, coming to stand beside her.

She looked in awe at her mother, who looked like she was a fairy.

The top part of the gown clung to her hourglass figure like a second skin while the skirt billowed below like a gentle breeze.

She was in white, even though she wasn't a 'v.i.r.g.i.n' bride but who cares about that? Kyle had been her first, her one and only, and thus, Sayuri felt white was fine and no one would think any less.

They wouldn't dare anyway.

It was a modified A-line wedding dress with lace appliques, over silk charmeuse fabric. Charmeuse refers to a specific type of weave that creates a wonderfully weighted silk fabric with a beautiful sheen.

Using this traditional style weave, silk charmeuse has a l.u.s.trous and reflective finish on its front, while the back has a matte. As it was silk, it made the flow of the dress soft and magical.

The top part was filled with lace appliques, covering the bodice with a pattern that looked like flowers and leaves, with some light vines 'coming out' of the A-line neckline. It was a long sleeve, but the entire sleeve and upper part (from the bust onwards) was lace applique on Gossamer silk fabric (which was see-through).

Hence, it appeared as if there were flower and leave motifs on her arms.

It was a lowback dress and she had a veil made of the same material and design as the upper bodice, and reached just at her waist. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Sayuri was the type that did not like long trains, thus the dress and veil would not be in the way of her walking.

The lace applique also flowed down to the dress, but was sparse, making the bottom flair more 'clean' of design.

A simple, fairy-tale like dress.

As always, the neckline showcased her cleavage, with the lace appliques covering her tattoo very well.

Ariel came in then and stood next to her mother.

She was s.u.c.k.i.n.g her thumb while touching the dress, liking the feel of the smooth fabric. Benedict, or Ben, gently took that thumb out of her mouth.

She pouted as she looked at him and he said, "You can't do that today. It's your mum and dad's special day."

Sayuri smiled and patted Ariel's head, stroking her hair, "Today, you and Ben have a huge role to play. Can you do it?"

Ariel grinned and nodded, "Ben will help me."

Kay held back a smile. Both Ben and Ariel were of the same age, yet Ariel kept thinking like Ben was older.

"Big Sis," Ben said as he looked at Kay, "Where are the others?"

'The others' here referred to the FF's: Alex, Rory, Ziad, and Fleur. They were going to be the flower girls and page boys while Ariel and Ben were the ring bearers.

One would think that two year olds were too young to be ring bearers but these were the Smith Line. They were raised differently and given responsibilities from young, so being ring bearers was not difficult.

It was merely walking in a straight line to the end while carrying the rings. Ben would be carrying the ring for his brother Kyle to give Sayuri, while Ariel would be carrying the ring for her mother Sayuri to give Kyle.

Despite the extremely confusing family ties, they got along pretty well. The kids adapted well to the notion that their uncle was so young, and he acted more like the Big Brother to Ariel than an uncle.

He also would listen to the older FFs and did not stress on the fact that in the family hierarchy, he was - technically - the elder. That was why none of them called him Uncle Ben.

It made the transition and acceptance easier, and there was no awkwardness.

That was the important thing.

"Oh, they're exploring outside, checking out the guests," Kay replied, "Don't worry. They'll be here before the ceremony starts."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration that the wedding of Kyle and Sayuri was the highlight of the Century.

Kyle was, after all, the Idol of Country Tz and everyone had thought it was a pity that there was never a wedding ceremony. Thus, it was a total and complete surprise to find out that they were going to hold one after all.

Who didn't know about the romantic love story that nearly turned tragic?

Everyone wanted an invitation but it was futile.

The wedding was a very private affair and only family and friends were invited. However, to appease the masses, it was going to be streamed live.

Only the most reputable news agency was given the exclusive right to attend the wedding and cover it in the news while the whole live streaming was handled by the well-renowned Entertainment Giant Company, Magical Imp Biznez or 'MIB' for short.

Yes, it goes without saying that the reporter that was covering the event was an MIB agent and the Entertainment Giant Company was an MIB subsidiary.

Everything was being handled by the MIB and its subsidiary, from the catering to the security. Thus, Kyle was assured that his wedding would not have any mishaps.

The Diamond Team had been the one in charge overall although they were not allowed to actually be involved in any of the matter. Lianne ordered them that they were to be the guests at the wedding, so while they could oversee the planning, they were to let others handle it.

No way was she going to allow them not to enjoy the wedding.

The wedding venue was on a private island that, naturally, Kyle had bought long ago. All the guests were placed in a chalet on the island, while the ceremony was going to be held on the beach during sunset.

The theme was 'sunset', thus all the decorations were a softer shade of the colours of sunset: essentially, yellow, orange, and red. However, this was not to say that everything was of those colours for it would have been too glaring.

The 'sunset' colours were only for the flowers, candles, napkins, and borders of the menu. The rest, such as tablecloths, were off-white.

Fleur was looking at everything with her eyes shining bright.

As the flower girl, the princess dress she was wearing was so pretty. It was very simple, really. Just a white silk charmeuse fabric dress, with a blend of yellow, orange, and red for the border at the waist and hem of the skirt.

It was comfortable, and each movement made the dress sway beautifully. They had floral headbands and the girls would be carrying a basket with petals of the theme colours.

Right now, they were exploring the place, observing people who were around.

Fleur, in her excitement, however, was laughing happily as she ran ahead of everyone else. She liked the way her dress moved as she ran, so she was running to get it moving while looking at it. Hence, she didn't look where she was going and bumped into someone who just came out to the patio before the beach.

"Whoa there little one," came a deep voice as he steadied Fleur who was about to fall.

The other three rushed over just then. And gasped.

"Keanu?!" gasped Rory, "It's Keanu! It's Keanu!!"

Keanu Reeves smiled, his eyes twinkling as he stood up.
