Chapter 175
She was putting on a warm beige color dress that hugged her curves perfectly, her hair styled in a simple ponytail and she wore black heels, she looked beautiful.
“Mum’s still gonna look beautiful without even styling her hair” Arin said.
She was wearing a pretty purple gown Irish had made for her with white shoes and different colors of hair clips decorating her hair.
“Of course but she’s the bride, she needs to look different and stunning”Jessica said and Arin shrugged.
“Olivia, help Lucas unwrap hush candy” Arin said after seeing Lucas struggle with the candy wrap.
“Your son is so cute” Olivia said to Maria, who smiled.
She helped Lucas unwrap her candy also and handed it to her.
“Thank you” Lucas gave Olivia a big toothless grin.
Esther started with the make up after she was done with the hair.
It looked beautiful that it already highlighted Irish’s face. Esther is so competent like Olivia had said.
“I’m so excited” Olivia beamed.
“About the wedding or because you’ll be seeing Arusha soon?” Jessica teased and they laughed.
Arusha and Ryan were with Ethan in his hotel.
Etgan’s parents, Mrs Helen, Mrs Gabrielle and Ryan’s Mum were at the wedding hall already putting things to order.
Olivia’s parents and so many other dignitaries would be gracing the occasion, which means the security would be very tight.
“Now, your dress” Esther said after she was done with the simple but eye-catching make up. Irish got to her feet as her wedding dress was fetched, of course she had made the beautiful magnificent lace gown herself.
They all helped her wore the dress, Arin stood on a chair to assist them and Luca was more concerned with seeing the end of hish candy.
They were careful not to mess her hair or make up as they wore her the wedding dress. Esther attached the long lace veil to Irish’s perfectly styled hair and they all stood back to
examine the beautiful bride.
Gasps trailed from their mouths.

“The bride is coming in…
Irish stepped into the Hall with a twenty-foot train behind her and a cloud of veil covering her face.
Heads turned and gasps filled the whole hall.
She looked like a movie star.
She walked down the aisle in stately elegance and she could see Ethan catch his breath as she walked towards him. It was the most perfect moment of her life.
Tears filled her eyes, wishing her father had been here to walk her down the aisle. Knowing he’s here with her and she just couldn’t see him stopped the tears from rolling down her cheeks. He’s here and he’s walking her down the aisle and her mother is also seated here.
She smiled back at Ethan who was looking breathtaking in his white suit with gold glitters at every edge.
His hair had been obviously given special treatment, it looked darker, glossier and curlier. His golden eyes looked striking, they matched with the gold glitters on his suit, Ethan is the most good looking groom she has ever seen.
She stood beside him and he quickly held her hand.
He had resisted himself from running to her and pulling her into his arms while she was walking down the aisle.
“Are we meant to hold hands?” She teased him in a whisper.
“I don’t care, you don’t know how hard I’m trying not to kiss you right now” He said and she almost laughed.
They were both facing their guests and Irish was a bit surprised to see so much people. The male guests wore white tie and the women wore spectacular gowns.
Everyone looked great.
They all stared at the bride and groom adoringly.
Vogue was covering the wedding.
The press were outside begging to be allowed in, the security was so tight and the wedding was strictly by invite.
Arusha and Ryan looked intrigued to see some superstars they had always watched on TV. “I think I’m going to faint already” Ryan said.
“Me too” Arusha laughed.
“I can’t believe my brother is finally talking to his celebrity crush” Ryan smiled, gazing at Kelly who was in a deep conversation with Elena Scott, one of youngest and most beautiful Hollywood actress.
Kelly’s room is stacked with her magazines.
And it doesn’t look like Kelly is forcing the conversation, Elena is obviously enjoying his company also, she smiled and laughed at intervals.
Ryan felt so happy for his brother.
“I bet your brother isn’t gonna sleep tonight” Arusha said and they laughed.
Olivia shook her head disapprovingly seeing her brother flirt with different girls at once.
“That woman wants everyone to know she’s the groom’s mother” Ethan said to Irish and she chuckled, watching Mrs Harlow welcome guests with her face lit up with smiles.
“Anyone would know she’s the groom’s mother” Irish smiled.
Mrs Harlow was wearing an expensive looking emerald green organza with high-heeled black shoes, her diamond earrings and necklace looked great on her.
Mr Harlow was looking great in his simple black suit, white tie and shiny black shoes. Arusha and Ryan were looking fly in their tuxedo, ignoring the ladies flirting with them from different directions.
Mrs Helen applied make up for the first time in years and it made her look so young and beautiful, she was putting on a pale blue satin gown, held by a tiny string of rhinestones to her neck, with sparkly white shoes, her eyes were filled with love for the couple.
Mrs Gabrielle, who had been the wedding planner looked quite stunning in a simple pink dress with silver shoes, Jessica had helped her style her hair and also made her wear makeup.
Ella was also seated among the guests, smiling happily.
She looked pretty but slightly overdressed, her make up was dramatic and sexy.
She had stopped working at Morgan’s modelling company after the incident and she’s here for today just for Irish’s wedding, she was so excited when Irish invited her, knowing she’s gonna meet a lot of dignitaries that might probably help her new business grow.
Though Irish was planning to give her some money to refurbish her new bar and guest house into a bigger and more modern one.
Ella threw a wad of pink gum in her mouth and then grinned at Irish when she caught her eyes.
Blaine, Carl, and Rob were standing not too far from Ethan, as bodyguards and also as groomsmen. They looked great in their suits and white tie.
Carl was married already and his wife was sitting among the guests, Blaine’s gaze was on Maria likewise hers on him, they started dating recently, turns out Maria wasn’t the only one havingfeelings for him, he confessed to have liked her also and he hadn’t even bulged or changed hismind after knowing she has a child, he embraced Lucas into his world instead.
Robbie’s eyed Gemma, Maria’s friend who was also seated in the midst of guests, he had liked her at first glance, she looked elegant, gentle and calm, exactly his type. And her smile was soothing even though it hadn’t been directed to him but Lucas.
“She’s single” Blaine whispered to Rob.
“Huh?” Rob asked.
“Gemma” Blaine winked and Rob grinned.
Irish and Ethan exchanged their vows and rings, they were declared husband and wife and then kissed passionately.
The hall was filled with the sound of cameras, until they reluctantly moved away from each other.
___
Irish had her first dance with Ethan at the reception and then with Arusha and Ethan’s Dad. After the dance, it was time to throw the bouquet, all single women lined up in orderly fashion under Mrs Helen’s direction, the men stepped aside and Ethan watched his wife adoringly, waiting impatiently to take her away.
She stood on a little stool so she could throw the bouquet at them.
“If it lands on you, we’re getting married right away” Arusha whispered to Olivia who laughed. Though she wasn’t on the line with the women, Arusha had just said that jokingly.
He crossed his arm over her shoulder and then pulled her closer to him, glaring at the guys who were staring at her, not only because she was beautiful but also because she was a princess. He gave them the ‘she’s-mine!-i-dare-you-to-come-close-to-her-and-have-your-balls-ripped-off’ look and they all quickly turned away.
He smiled to himself satisfactorily.
Irishs toss was stronger and higher than expected as it sailed over dozens of women’s heads who were struggling to catch it and then landed on Maria’s chest, who hadn’t even made anyeffort to catch it, her gaze locked with Blain’s immediately and he smiled and winked at her.
Everyone cheered… the celebration continued.
Irish and Ethan lingered for a while before finally leaving the party, everyone threw rose petals at them before they stepped into the Royal carriage waiting for them.
They waved at everyone before the carriage pulled off.
They were headed straight to the airport, they had planned to spend their honeymoon in Hideout Bali in San Francisco.
