64 iii. The Wedding

Mary looked at herself in the mirror and felt insecurity jump at her. Dominus looked perfect in his suit, and she... she shook her head as dissatisfaction took a root inside her heart.

She felt insecure as she looked at her baby bump that the luxurious dress couldn't hide anymore, the pallor on her skin that no make-up can hide, and her rather frail-looking disposition as she forced a smile on her lips. 

She heard the ceremonial song starting to play outside so she forced herself to go out of the waiting room. It was a simple wedding as far as grandiose wedding goes. 

Dominus insisted she decides on every detail including who the visitors will be. She chose very few. Them, their family, and friends. These are the people who mattered to them most.

Still, she felt overwhelmed as the video cameras centered on her, one thing he insisted on at least. She forced a smile on her lips again even as she felt her knees shake.
