Chapter 910 Finally

After the wedding ceremony, the guests all adjourned to the beautiful reception area.

Everything was spick and span, gleaming from the polis.h.i.+ng, wiping and cleaning that had been done over and over. There was long walkway that was covered with a long and luxurious maroon-red carpet. All the way down the carpet, 2 feet to the right and left of the carpet, were clear acrylic flower stand with mirrored base wedding column with an arrangement of Lily of the Valleys, peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas of varied colors and gardenias, with beautiful hanging vines of North African ivy with an equal distance of 5 feet between one column to the next column. The guest tables were all arranged on either side of the carpet with champagne colored satin as tablecloths and a centerpiece made of 6 tall gla.s.ses of varying heights with corresponding heights of pillar candles in each of it, with the same North African ivy vines twisted into an elegant and sophisticated wreath around the gla.s.ses. And in front of each guest's seat, was a fresh sprig of jasmine next their name place cards to delicately perfume the area. Above it all, large and long sections of champagne colored chiffon were hung as ceiling draping to add to the airiness and romantic ambiance of the ballroom hall. And added with warm white mini fairy string lights being attached to the chiffon ceiling draping, the entire setup of the wedding venue was just indescribable. Its ambient illumination with the twinkle and slow glow setting lent a whimsical air to the entire place.

When the newlyweds arrived at the reception venue, the guests all stood and gave them a thunderous round of applause. The couple stood for a few seconds at the entrance before gliding gracefully over the red carpet.

"Congratulations!" Alex and Abi were the first to approach the newlyweds. But Alex did not have much time to tease and speak to Zeke as more and more people came over to personally greet and offer their blessings to the newly minted couple.

Soon, it was time for the newlyweds to have their first dance as husband and wife. Some guests were gathered on the terrace, looking on, as they sipped on their wines. The dance floor was cleared for the new Mr. and Mrs. Reign to start off the official first dance of the night.

Some of the people lingering about on the terrace were Zeres, Iriz, and Lilith.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Reign to the dance floor." The emcee announced and applause echoed after his announcement, followed by soft and lilting romantic music.

The happiness that was bubbling within Alicia since they were p.r.o.nounced husband and wife almost made her feel delirious as they swayed together as Zeke led her in the dance. She could see and tell that Ezekiel felt the exact same feeling as her just by looking into his dazzling grey eyes. They were both caught by each other's gazes as they danced along to the tempo of the song. Nothing else seemed to exist outside of the touch of one another, the music that seemed to weave its notes around them and the light fragrance of the fresh flowers in the background. Alicia felt as though her feet were stepping on clouds and her footsteps were light as though she were personally wearing the winged sandals of the G.o.d Hermes while swaying and spinning wherever Ezekiel led her. His large hands that were holding her hand and her waist felt like searing hot brands where they lay, sending delicious and electrifying s.h.i.+vers from where they were and shooting out to other parts of her body.

The excitement of the wedding ceremony, the procession and now the couple dance all merged and formed one spinning whirlwind of heady emotions which was threatening to spin and throw her out of control. Fortunately, with Ezekiel's captivating grey eyes that were solely focused on her, kept her grounded and steady. She drew in an unsteady deep breath before releasing it slowly, calming her edgy emotions.

"I feel like I am dreaming, Ezekiel. Is this all real?" Alicia said, unable to stop smiling. She still could not quite believe that they had really pulled this off. "I can't believe that you're now legally binding and officially my husband." Her beautiful eyes were wide and sparkling like the most brilliant of diamonds as her gaze hung onto her husband.

"Were you thinking that our wedding will not happen?" he lifted a brow at Alicia.

"Well, I was confident in what you said. But I did not expect it would be this easy. I never expect it to go this smoothly." She blinked at Ezekiel, looking somewhat a little confused but still deliriously happy at the same time.

She looked so adorable in that state that Zeke could not help but smirk at her. But his eyes remained filled with nothing but adoration and love as his eyes were glued onto at Alicia now legally his wife! "I will never let anyone ruin this special day." He pulled her flush into his embrace and pressed his forehead against hers as they continued swaying to the music. "You're finally my wife, Alicia." He spoke lowly and Alicia melted in his arms, hearing that hot and sultry voice whispering into her ears.

"I love you, Ezekiel, my husband!" she whispered back as her eyes gazed hotly at him. Zeke lowered his head and gave her a tender kiss filled with nothing but love. They did not even register the applause and excited hoots that broke out amongst the guests when they kissed right in the middle of the ballroom.

They looked so perfect together. Both were so in love with each other that everyone who knew Zeke were still unable to believe their eyes even though they were practically seeing it before them. It was that unbelievable to them!

Soon, with the change of song, the others joined in with the newlyweds on the dance floor. Of course, it was Alex who was the first one to pull Abi out for a dance.
