Grand wedding

"We are finally done...you are one of the most beautiful bride I have ever set my eyes upon,"he commented with a sweet smile.

"Thank you..."Calista responded after a little hesitance.

****

Back in New York,Lisa decided to inform the director about what happened.He joined her at the hotel where the performance was to take place.They tried calling her again and again but her phone was still switched off.They gave up and did what Calista feared.They cancelled their group from competing.

Montreal Canada,

After not more than ten minutes,Ishaani and aunt Preeta walked inside.

"OMW!...my baby girl is the most beautiful bride on earth,I guess,"she spoke happily then planted a short kiss on her forehead.

Ishaani then stepped forward.She wiped a tear that had escaped her glands and smiled warmly.

"Being a mother is the most beautiful thing to a woman but it becomes a little sad when you have to send your daughter a midst people you don't fully know.It would have been much better if it were close because I would make sure to come after some days but Texas is too far...none the less my baby,be a wonderful wife to your husband..."Ishaani spoke not able to hold back the tears that threatened to fall down her cheeks.

Calista remained silent.She was really battling with the emotions that were surging inside her.She felt like hugging her mother and assure her that everything would be fine but she was not even sure if everything would really be fine.

She struggled not shed off a tear but it was not possible.She grabbed a tissue paper and wiped out the tears that were begin to bream.

From her room,she could hear the loud sounds of drums.People were singing Indians songs down there and the sound of it was amazing.

She wondered if her so called groom would be dressed in Indian attires.She did not know his origin but she was sure he was not Indian.

She wiped the tears again and again until her mum spoke.

"Redo her makeup..."she asked Julio who did without a word.

The noise got more and more loud.It was as if the wedding had already started.She knew that the groom and his family had arrived and the bride's family were welcoming them.

Her mother and aunt stood.

"I have to be there to welcome my son in law to be.Uncle Ramesh and uncle Ishan will be here soon to bring you down stairs,"her mother informed but she reminded silent.

It was not the first time she was in an Indian wedding so she already knew that.The difference is that her own wedding did not last for the three days as it was supposed to or maybe they performed the other ceremonies before she even arrived.

Julio redid her makeup.They were soon done and they had to go downstairs.

After what seemed like an hour to her,her uncles came inside and patted her hair softly.

Calista stood from the chair and looked at her reflection at the mirror.

"It's time Serenity..."she reminded herself.She let out another silent sigh as she fought her tears hard.

The chair behind her was pulled back and she stepped away.The uncles held her hands possessively as they walked downstairs with her.

Through the veil,she could see the people.They were surrounding the mandap(wedding altar).

The place was well organized. Everyone was sitted but they stood as soon as they saw her coming downstairs.Not all of them were wearing sarees but most were.

The mandap.was well decorated.The flowers looked beautiful.Most color was white except for the flower that possed different colors.

She sighted a man standing at the altar.He was wearing a golden pant and a golden long sleeved shirt with some red flowers on it.His head was wrapped with a scarf that was golden as well with a red jewel that dangled abit at his forehead.The red jewel matched the red scarf that was proudly hanging at his chest.

The man was looking straight at her.Calista looked at the man for a while.

He was really handsome.

*****

Maverick loved the outfit he was in.It looked fabulous.It was his first time in history the that he was wearing such an outfit and he liked awesome in it.

In his room,his friend Eddy was sitted with him.He was also wearing the same outfit.

"You really look extravagant in Indian outfit..."Eddy teased him.

Maverick shot him a deadly glare. He was not in agreement with this wedding. He did not want to marry the girl. He was do much in love with his girlfriend but she had refused marrying him saying that it was too early for her to get married.

He had to find a woman who would be his wife until his girlfriend was ready to marry him.

He loved the girl so much and was ready to be in a marriage because his grandfather wanted that as she waited for her to be ready to marry him.

His door was knocked then pushed open.A middle aged woman appeared with a warm smile.She was wearing a beautiful blue saree.

"That doesn't look good on you aunt!"Eddy spoke as soon as she stepped inside.

"I did my best son...I just don't understand why we need to have an Indian wedding.This is a digitalized generation so why do we have to follow cultures.."the woman complained.

Maverick massaged his temples.His mother was just tiring him with her constant complains and it was beginning to give him a migraine.

He was marrying the girl against her will and he did not even love her and he could not promise to so at least he could just bear with their cultures. He could not simply do everything his way!

Just then,when he wanted to ask his mother to quit the complains,his dad walked in.

"We have to get going already otherwise we would get late..."the older man who was much more handsome than his age spoke.

Eddy really had to hold his urge to burst in a laughter when he saw Maverick's dad.Its either he was not used to seeing them dressed in such a way or they simply looked not soo pleasing in such outfits.

Without another word,they walked out of the room.A jet was already boarded, waiting for them.

Flying from Texas to Canada would be much easier than driving...

They were almost at the jet when Maverick's phone buzzed in his pocket.He halted and quickly took it from the Pocket hoping it was his woman calling.

Good for him it was really her.

"Hey babe.."Addison greater him sweetly from the other line.Her voice as pleasing to him as ever.

I have been trying to calm you Addison but you were not responding.Do you know the pressure I am feeling because of this wedding?...I wish it was you I was going to marry because marrying another woman seems impossible for me..."he complained.

"Relax babe.You know I have been busy preparing for today's contest but babe you need to do this for us.It would be much easier to divorce that girl because she is not in love with you and we both know she dislikes you so much and we will be able to get married when you finally divorce her...you have to do this for us,"she encouraged him.

Maverick was silent for a while then he answered.

"it's fine then...we are leaving for the wedding now.."he informed her.

"Okay babe.Bye and I love you,"she responded before hanging up the phone.

Maverick switched the phone off and dipped it back to the pocket.

They arrived at the bride's house after almost an hour.The place was not too huge as their mansion was but it was just nice.They were welcomed in a grand way.They had never known about Indian wedding so they googled and now they were in a practical lesson and it was beautiful.

That were welcomed inside after all the ceremonies were done.The whole place was well decorated and they loved it.Every thing was just soo grand there.Maverick was guided by his mother in law to sit at the altar until the bride came.

From where he sat,he could clearly see the bride as she descended the stairs.

She was in a gold and red saree.One could see that she had beautiful curves hidden beneath the heavy looking saree.

Two men walked beside her but she stopped when she got at the middle of the staircase.

He could guess that she was looking at him but he was not sure since she had a veil covering her face.

She resumed her walking and soon got to the altar and sat beside him.

The event took off.

Every step was followed in a low pace.Maverick was such a great and influencial man and even the priest had to give his best.

The wedding was over after all the steps were followed in order.Maverick tied the wedding chain around her name and also they exchanged rings as well,just as the family had agreed.

The send off was done and it was very emotional for all of them but after it,they took the jet and flew home.

Calista was alone in the jet with Maverick and the other took another jet to take them home.

The wedding had been done in a serene and no media issue but it was very grand and classic in its own way.
