Chapter 72 - Chapter 71: The Wedding

The venue was perfect.

Garden setting. Flowers everywhere. Blue and white theme. Soft music playing.

Guests filled the seats.

Business people. CEOs. Investors. Media.

And in the front row—

Section E. The Fernandez family. Everyone who mattered.

Ci-n was already crying. "I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!"

Rakki: "The wedding hasn't started yet."

Ci-n: "I'M EMOTIONALLY PREPARING!"

Percy had cameras set up everywhere. "THREE ANGLES! NO, FOUR! FIVE!"

Honey: "He's been like this since 4 AM."

Percy: "HISTORY IS BEING MADE!"

Mica: "I'm so nervous."

Calix: "You're not the one getting married."

Mica: "EMOTIONALLY I AM!"

Freya: "This is taking forever."

Edrix: "Good things take time."

Freya: "Shut up."

Edrix: "Never."

Rory: "The probability of perfection is 100%."

Drew: "I'm taking bets on how many tissues we need."

David: "All of them. 500."

Drew: "Safe bet."

Eren brought Kevin the Eleventh. "Kevin has a tiny tuxedo."

Josh nodded. The bird looked dapper.

Baster hummed a wedding melody.

Aries and Ella sat behind them. Aries: "I'm not crying."

Ella: "You will."

Aries: "Maybe."

Jay's grandma and Yuri's grandma sat together. Still arguing.

Jay's grandma: "MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS GETTING MARRIED!"

Yuri's grandma: "MY GRANDSON'S FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!"

Jay's grandma: "YOU'RE STILL DOING THAT?"

Yuri's grandma: "I'M COMMITTED!"

Jay's grandma: "FINE! BE COMMITTED!"

Yuri's grandma: "I WILL!"

They held hands. Still arguing. Still family.

Tita Gema was sobbing. "MY BABIES! GROWING UP!"

Jasfer: "They've been grown for years."

Tita Gema: "THEY'RE BABIES TO ME!"

Serina: "To all of us."

Jasfer: "Same thing?"

Serina: "Same thing."

Keigan and Keiren were ushers. Looking proud.

Keigan: "I didn't trip."

Keiren: "Yet."

Keigan: "DON'T JINX IT!"

Grazel Jay stood at the entrance. Flower basket ready. Intense focus.

Grazel Jay: "I'VE BEEN PRACTICING FOR YEARS! THIS IS MY MOMENT!"

Denzel: "She's been practicing for years."

Grace: "The garden never recovered."

Grazel Jay: "WORTH IT!"

The music changed.

Processional began.

Mica walked first. Maid of honor. Green dress. Stunning.

Calix watched. Forgot to breathe.

Freya second. Black dress. Elegant. Edrix stared.

Edrix: "Wow."

Freya: (walking) "Shut up."

Edrix: "Never."

Rakki third. Burgundy. Beautiful. Ci-n sobbed louder.

Rakki: "Ci-n, stop."

Ci-n: "I CAN'T! YOU'RE PRETTY!"

Honey fourth. Silver. Percy forgot to record for a second.

Percy: "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!"

Honey: "Record the wedding!"

Percy: "RIGHT! SORRY!"

Ella fifth. Gold. Aries stood up without meaning to.

Ella: (whispering) "Sit down!"

Aries: "CAN'T!"

Then—

Grazel Jay.

She walked slowly. Deliberately. Throwing flowers with perfect precision.

Every step. Every petal. Perfect.

She reached the front. Turned. Waved.

Grazel Jay: "I DID IT!"

The crowd applauded.

Denzel: "That's my daughter."

Grace: "Our daughter."

Denzel: "Same thing?"

Grace: "Same thing."

The music shifted.

Everyone stood.

Jay appeared.

White dress. Not just white—blue-tinted white. Delicate lace. Flowing train. Embroidery like stars.

She looked like a dream.

She looked like forever.

Keifer waited at the altar.

Blue suit. Matching her. Always.

He saw her.

His breath stopped.

His eyes filled.

Percy: "KEIFER'S CRYING! DOCUMENTING!"

Ci-n: "FROM THREE ANGLES!"

Rakki: "Those two."

Mica: "Forever."

Jay walked toward him.

Step by step.

He watched her like she was the only person in the world.

Because she was.

She reached him.

Jay: "Hi."

Keifer: "Hi."

Jay: "You're crying."

Keifer: "You're beautiful."

Jay: "Same thing?"

Keifer: "Same thing."

Jay: "Tss."

Keifer: "Stop."

Jay: "No."

He kissed her forehead.

The crowd melted.

The officiant spoke. Words. Blessings. Rings.

Then—

Vows.

Keifer went first.

He held her hands. Looked in her eyes.

Keifer: "Jay. I've loved you since I was seven years old. You were loud. I was confused. And I knew. Even then."

Jay's eyes filled.

Keifer: "I loved you when we were apart. I loved you when I thought I'd lost you. I loved you when you were with someone else. I loved you through every fight, every fear, every moment of doubt."

He squeezed her hands.

Keifer: "You're the reason I wake up. You're the reason I believe in forever. You're the reason I'm the man I am today."

Jay: "Keifer..."

Keifer: "I promise to love you every day. To choose you every moment. To be your partner, your protector, your peace. I promise to listen when you talk about food for an hour. I promise to let you steal my 'tss.' I promise to be yours. Always. Forever. Jayfer forever."

The crowd was silent.

Then sobbing.

Ci-n: "I'M DECEASED!"

Rakki: "Same."

Mica: "THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!"

Freya: "Okay. That was good."

Edrix: "Really good."

Freya: "Shut up."

Edrix: "Never."

Jay's turn.

She held his face. Looked in his eyes.

Jay: "Keifer. I've loved you since I was seven years old. You were confused. I was loud. And I knew. Even then."

Keifer smiled. Cried. Didn't care.

Jay: "I loved you when we were apart. I loved you when I thought I'd lost you. I loved you through every fight, every fear, every moment of doubt."

She wiped his tears.

Jay: "You're my home. You're my heart. You're my forever. I promise to love you every day. To choose you every moment. To be your partner, your protector, your peace. I promise to listen when you're jealous. I promise to keep stealing your 'tss.' I promise to be yours. Always. Forever. Jayfer forever."

The officiant: "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Keifer: "Finally."

Jay: "Finally."

Keifer: "Tss."

Jay: "OUR thing."

Keifer: "OUR thing."

He kissed her.

Deep. Long. Perfect.

The crowd ERUPTED.

Section E lost their minds.

Ci-n: "THEY KISSED! THEY'RE MARRIED!"

Rakki: "WE KNOW!"

Percy: "I HAVE 47 ANGLES! THIS IS MY MASTERPIECE!"

Mica: "I'M SOBBING!"

Calix: "SAME!"

Freya: "OKAY THAT WAS PERFECT."

Edrix: "REALLY PERFECT."

Freya: "SHUT UP!"

Edrix: "NEVER!"

Rory: "Probability of happiness: 100%."

Drew: "I won so much money!"

David: "We all won."

Eren: "Kevin the Eleventh approves!"

Josh nodded. Cried silently.

Baster hummed a victory melody.

Aries: "My sister's married."

Ella: "Your sister's happy."

Aries: "Same thing?"

Ella: "Same thing."

He cried. She held him.

The grandmas hugged.

Jay's grandma: "THEY DID IT!"

Yuri's grandma: "THEY DID IT!"

Jay's grandma: "WE AGREED!"

Yuri's grandma: "HISTORIC!"

They hugged tighter.

Tita Gema sobbed into Jasfer's shoulder.

Tita Gema: "MY BABIES!"

Jasfer: "OUR babies."

Tita Gema: "SAME THING?"

Jasfer: "SAME THING."

Serina watched. Tears flowing. Smile wide.

Serina: "They're perfect."

Jasfer: "They're us."

Serina: "Better."

Jasfer: "Much better."

Serina: "Same thing?"

Jasfer: "Same thing."

Grazel Jay threw her final flowers.

Grazel Jay: "LAST FLOWERS! FOR THE KISS!"

Denzel: "That's literally the last of them."

Grace: "The garden is officially a memory."

Grazel Jay: "WORTH IT!"

Keifer and Jay walked back down the aisle.

Husband and wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Watson.

Jayfer forever.

Reception was chaos.

Food. Music. Dancing.

Percy gave a speech. It was too long. Everyone cried anyway.

Ci-n gave a speech. It was just screaming. Everyone loved it.

The grandmas argued through dinner. No one stopped them.

First dance.

Jay and Keifer. Center of the room.

Song: "I Choose You."

They danced. Slow. Perfect.

Jay: "We're married."

Keifer: "We're married."

Jay: "Husband."

Keifer: "Wife."

Jay: "Tss."

Keifer: "OUR thing."

Jay: "OUR thing."

He kissed her.

The night ended.

Fireworks. Laughter. Love.

Jay and Keifer stood together. Watching.

Jay: "Best day ever."

Keifer: "Best life ever."

Jay: "Together?"

Keifer: "Always."

Jay: "Jayfer forever?"

Keifer: "Jayfer forever."

He kissed her.

Percy: "DOCUMENTING THE FINAL KISS!"

Ci-n: "FROM THREE ANGLES!"

Rakki: "Those two."

Mica: "Forever."

Calix: "Always."

Freya: "Finally."

Edrix: "Perfect."

The stars watched.

The family celebrated.
