Chapter 309 Avery’s Wedding Dress
The following day, the weather was beautiful, and the birds were chirping. Avery walked up smiling from ear to ear. Today was her wedding day to the one her soul loved. She was over the moon.
Avery was with her Grandma, God grandma, Godmother, Aunt Bridge, and Aunt Caia. Grandma Rose’s heart swelled with pride when she saw how her granddaughter had become.
She looked at her granddaughter with concern in her eyes and asked, “My sweet granddaughter, do you think Elizabeth will be attending your wedding?”
Avery shook her head and replied, “I don’t think so, Grandma. Aunt Elizabeth has never acknowledged me as her daughter. To be honest, I don’t think she is aware that today is my wedding day.”
Her Grandma looked at her and said, “That’s strange because August told me that he personally delivered the wedding invitation card to her.”
Avery smiled and replied, “Grandma, do you think Lily would allow her beloved aunt to attend my wedding? I wouldn’t be surprised if Lily tore the invitation card before her beloved aunt read it.”
Godmother Mia shook her head and said, “I am so disappointed in what Lily has become. I feel guilty whenever I think of my late best friend’s last words. I believe her parents are turning in their graves.”
Avery looked at her Godmother and replied, “Don’t be sad, Godmother. It was impossible for Lily to choose you over Aunt Elizabeth.
One day Lily will wish she had chosen you as her guardian. I heard she is wasting her life in bars drinking.”
At that moment, the styling team entered the villa to prepare Avery for the wedding, followed by Aunt Joy and the bridesmaids. Gabriella was the Maid of honour. Portia and Fia Alba were her bridesmaids. Fia was Chase’s girlfriend.
Two hours later, Aunt Joy smiled brightly and said, “You are so gorgeous, Avery.” Then she helped her with her wedding dress. She was wondering how Xavier would react when he saw his wife wearing the wedding dress he had designed.
Everyone gasped when they saw the wedding dress. It was the most beautiful wedding dress they had ever seen. The long-sleeved wedding dress was adorned with diamonds.
Aunt Joy placed the tiara on Avery’s head, and she helped her to wear the Cathedral-length veil. It was 40 feet long.
The bridesmaids were stunning in plum off-the-shoulder knee-high custom-made dresses. Gabriella was gorgeous in a long-sleeved plum knee-high custom-made dress.
At the Taylor villa, Xavier was handsome in a white custom-made suit, white shirt with plum tie, plum vest, and black shoes. His groomsmen were wearing tan pants, white shirts with plum ties, tan vests, and brown shoes.
Mr Taylor senior and John were wearing beige custom-made three-piece suits, white shirts, and cream ties. Caroline was stunning in a knee-high cream haute couture dress.
Aunt Caia kissed Avery and said, “Sweetheart, I am going to help your father to dress up.” Avery smiled brightly and nodded her head.
The wedding was starting at 10 am, and it was one hour away. When Caia arrived at their villa, August had a towel wrapped around his waist. His well-defined abs were glaring at her.
Caia looked at her husband aggrieved and said, “Hubby, please don’t do this to me.” August looked at his young wife feigning ignorance and asked, “What are you talking about, my lovely wife?”
Caia walked to her husband and her soft hands started roaming in his well-defined abs. Then she ran to the bathroom and locked the door. She took a quick shower and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.
She smiled sweetly at her husband and said, “Hubby, you have fifty minutes left before you walk our daughter down the aisle. Please dress up.”
August smiled at his wife helplessly, then he went to the bathroom and took a cold shower. A few minutes later, he walked to their bedroom in a bathrobe. His wife was dazzling in a custom-made knee-high blue dress and a hat. She helped her husband to dress up.
Her husband was handsome in a navy blue custom-made three-piece suit, a white shirt with a plum tie, and black shoes. He handed a diamond necklace to his wife. Caia was overjoyed. She asked her husband to help her wear the diamond necklace.
A few minutes later, she kissed her husband and went to Avery’s villa. The reporters were taking photos of His Goodness Resort and the guests. The Everlasting Group would broadcast the wedding ceremony live.
Even though the wedding ceremony was starting at 10 am, the guests filled the chapel at 9:30. The netizens were glued to their television. They were looking forward to seeing the wedding of the Taylor family heir and the Martins family heiress.
Some netizens were sitting with their Everlasting June magazine looking at the groom’s handsomeness. Some netizens wanted to see how pretty the bride was. Some thought that the bride was an ugly duckling from a wealthy family.
The Moore family was also sitting in the living room waiting for the wedding ceremony. It was Avery’s heart’s desire to have Sage as her flower girl. She asked her mother-in-law to speak to Sage’s maternal grandmother.
The Moore family threatened her mother-in-law that they would apply for a court interdict should they not stop harassing them.
At the Bennet two-bedroomed house, Jordan was overwhelmed with bitterness. It was supposed to be him who was marrying Avery, but he allowed the opportunity to slip through his fingers.
He was facing prison time because he couldn’t pay back the taxpayers’ money. He cursed the day he met Tiffany Spencer. She was the source of his family’s miserable life. His mother was in prison because of Tiffany.
Mr Martins went to the garage. Sitting quietly in the garage was a red Ford Model T 1908. He drove it to his daughter’s villa. Avery was in the living room with her grandmother, Aunt Caia, Gabriella, the flower girl, Blue Taylor, and her bridesmaids.
Her father smiled broadly at his daughter and said, “You look gorgeous, Sweetheart. I am so proud of you.” Avery smiled sweetly at her father and thanked her.
Avery smiled brightly when she saw the vintage car and thanked her father. The bridesmaids helped her to the vintage car. Blue sat beside her, and then Gabriella and the bridesmaids went to Mr King’s sleek white Mercedes-Benz.
When the ushers saw the bride’s entourage, Pastor Basil walked to the altar. He was officiating the wedding ceremony. His heart was full of gratitude to the Lord for allowing him to witness this day.
A few minutes later, Grandpa Taylor walked down the aisle with his son, John, beaming with joy. Then his brothers walked down the aisle with their wives.
Keith and his wife, Bridgette, walked down the aisle with a bright smile and sat at the bride’s family side. Shortly afterwards, Mr Ford and Mrs Ford walked down the aisle beaming with joy and sat at the Taylor family side. Their only grandson was getting married, and they thanked the Lord for His faithfulness in their lives.
Her God grandfather and God grandmother walked down the aisle in high spirits. In their hearts, their granddaughter was getting married. Their hearts swelled with pride.
Avery smiled at her stunning Godparents. Brad Shelton was wearing a gray suit and purple tie, and Mia Shelton was beautiful in a purple dress and a hat. She took her husband’s arm and walked down the aisle. It was her happiest day.
Reece didn’t go inside the chapel. He waited for his beloved sister, Caia. When Caia saw her beloved brother she flashed him a beautiful smile, then they walked down the aisle.
