Chapter 285 Antique Cars
At the Evans mansion, the atmosphere was lively because it was their daughter’s wedding. The smile on Mrs Evans’ face was indescribable. She was thanking the Lord for blessing the Evans family with their son-in-law.
Initially, Mrs Evans didn’t want to invite her youngest brother and his family to her daughter’s wedding because they didn’t care about her. Also, her niece was coveting her God granddaughter’s husband.
Mrs Evans was still angry that her brother’s wife demanded a refund when they came for their niece’s betrothal ceremony.
Since she loved her youngest brother a lot, her husband advised her to give them a last chance.
She listened to her husband and invited them to her daughter’s wedding. She also bought them the flight tickets to avoid her sister-in-law’s nagging.
The Kemp family arrived on Thursday with gifts from the Kemp family. Even her eldest brother sent gifts to his niece. It was clear that they wanted reconciliation. However, it was too late.
Her siblings didn’t even tell her when their parents passed away because she was married to a pauper.
Eden and his family’s attitudes towards Mr Evans had changed. They looked at him with respect.
At 8 am, Xavier dropped his wife outside the gate of the Evans mansion. Aunt Bridge had asked her beloved Avery to be her bridesmaid.
Shortly afterwards, Clayton dropped his wife, Hope, at the Evans mansion. Hope was Bridgette’s matron of honour. His mother-in-law, Mrs King, slept at the Evans mansion.
Bridgette was over the moon when she saw them. Avery hugged her and asked, “How is my baby brother, Mommy?” Aunt Bridge giggled and replied, “Your baby brother is giving me a hard time, Sweetheart. I don’t have an appetite”
Hope smiled at Bridgette and said, “I struggled when I was pregnant with my son as well. However, after three months, I started craving junk food.
I used to wake up my husband in the middle of the night to buy me a chicken burger or chicken wings.”
Avery felt sorry for Uncle Clayton and said, “If you want junk food in the middle of the night, I will cook for you, Mommy.”
Aunt Bridge giggled and replied, “I wouldn’t dare to wake you up in the middle of the night. I am scared of my son-in-law.” Everyone laughed out loud because they knew that Xavier would never allow that to happen. Avery was his treasure.
At 9 am, Aunt Rose ushered Dolly, the make-up artist, and her team into Bridgette’s dressing room.
Dolly greeted everyone, then she smiled at Bridgette, and asked, “Can we start, Miss Evans?” Bridgette smiled back at her and replied, “Yes, please. I cannot wait to see my husband.”
Three hours later, Dolly and her team took her bags and left the Evans mansion. They were rushing to another client’s appointment.
Miss Dube walked into Bridgette’s dressing room with the wedding gown. Her assistants were carrying bridesmaids and the matron of honour’s dresses. Miss Joy Dube smiled at the bride-to-be and helped her to wear her wedding dress.
Bridgette was breathtakingly stunning in a long-sleeved mermaid silhouette wedding gown adorned with pearls. Sitting on the bun was the elegant chapel length veil.
Then Bridgette handed the exquisite velvet box to Avery and said, “Sweetheart, please help me to wear them.” It was a Tanzanite necklace and a pair of earrings that Caroline gave her during her bridal shower.
Avery smiled brightly and said, “You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen, Mommy.” Aunt Bridge smiled and thanked her.
Mrs Evans went to her daughter’s bedroom to fetch her. Tears streamed down her face. Bridgette hugged her mother and said, “Don’t cry, Mommy, you are going to mess up your make-up.”
Her mother looked at her lovingly and said, “I am so happy, my sweet daughter. You are so gorgeous.” Bridgette smiled brightly, then she wiped her mother’s tears.
Her mother looked elegant in a custom-made champagne floor-length dress and a matching hat. Her husband was wearing a custom-made black tuxedo.
The bridesmaids, Avery Taylor and Page Kemp were wearing long-sleeved baby blue floor-length chiffon dresses with beaded bodice.
The Matron of honour, Hope, was wearing an off-the-shoulder baby blue chiffon and lace floor-length dress.
The flower girls were wearing white dresses with baby blue sashes, and they were carrying soft satin baskets with rose petals.
A few minutes later, Mrs Evans led everyone to the living room. Mr Evans was stunned when he saw his lovely daughter and said, “You are so beautiful, Sweetheart.”
Then he kissed her lovely daughter on her forehead. Bridgette smiled brightly at her beloved father and replied, “You look dashing, Daddy.”
The Shelton couple’s eyes lit up when they saw the bride. Mia took Bridgette’s hands and said, “You are such a beautiful bride, Bridgette. May the Lord bless you both with lasting love and joy.” Bridgette smiled at Mia and thanked her.
Mia was wearing a stunning maroon haute couture dress and her husband, Brad, was wearing a black tuxedo with a maroon tie.
Then Mr Evans took everyone outside to see the antique cars. Standing in the driveway were ten 1949 Bentley MK VI. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and it exuded elegance and strength.
Bridgette couldn’t believe her eyes; it was her dream car. Tears welled in her eyes. When she was fifteen years old, she told Uncle August that her wish was to go to her wedding in a 1949 Bentley MK VI.
Bridgette looked at Uncle August smiling and said, “Thank you so much, Uncle August, for fulfilling my wish.”
Uncle August smiled and replied, “You are welcome, my stunning Bridge.” Mr Martins was dashing in a gray custom-made three-piece tuxedo and red tie.
The photographer took photos of the bride and her entourage. Then she took photos of the antique cars.
At His Grace Hotel, Keith was in his Presidential Suite waiting for his bride to arrive. He was so handsome in a custom-made white dinner jacket, white shirt, baby blue vest, baby blue tie, and black pants.
The page boys were so adorable in baby blue vests, baby blue bow ties, and black pants. The eldest page boy was carrying a soft satin ring bearer pillow.
Keith had asked his best friend from the army, Derrick Small, and his nephew, Xavier, to be his groomsmen. They looked handsome in custom-made light brown suits, white shirts, baby blue vests, and baby blue ties.
Mr Taylor senior was looking mature and handsome in a custom-made light brown three-piece suit.
John was wearing a navy blue custom-made three-piece suit and blush pink tie. His wife, Caroline, was wearing a blush pink custom-made dress and a sapphire brooch.
Her baby sister, Caia, was stunning in a knee-high custom-made red dress. The Ford family didn’t attend the wedding because Mr Ford was not well.
At 1 pm, a convoy of ten antique cars was seen heading to His Grace Hotel. People who loved vintage and antique cars were over the moon. They took photos using their phones.
