#seventeenjun

The day had finally arrived. The happiest day of any couple’s life. The wedding day. However, this particular couple were having their third happiest day. This was their third attempt at a wedding ceremony. The guests that had come were only close family at this point, the other guests getting tired of all the delays that kept forcing the couple to cancel their wedding day.

The first attempt was in the spring. The weather was beautiful and the birds were chirping happily in the sky. They picked the perfect day for such a happy occasion. The nerves of both bride and groom were through the roof as they waited patiently for the ceremony to start. Jun stood by the officiator, his right hand enclosed around his left wrist as he took deep breaths to control his nerves. Minghao stood next to him, patting his shoulder comfortingly. 

The music started playing, all of the guests standing to watch the bride enter. Jun felt his heart stop as she appeared on the steps, holding her bouquet as the veil draped in front of her face. The music continued as she walked down the stairs, beginning her journey to the man of her dreams. She reached the bottom of the stairs when, suddenly, a scream was heard from her side of the family. The whole event looked over in concern, seeing the bride’s great aunt collapsed on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital, but it was all for not, she died before reaching the hospital. It was a heart attack.

The wedding was rescheduled to the summer.

It was a much hotter day the second time around, but it wasn’t unbearable. The happy couple were both saddened that their first date didn’t work out, but they were excited to finally tie the knot this time… Or so they thought. 

No one had scheduled an officiator, making it impossible for anybody to marry them on that day.

The couple were discouraged, feeling as if having a ceremony wasn’t in the cards for them. However, their mothers wouldn’t take no for an answer and scheduled the ceremony in the fall.

The day was nigh. The leaves were slowly falling from the trees, the oranges and yellows enhancing the beauty of the ceremony. Neither one realized hoq beautiful a fall wedding could be, making excitement course through their veins.

Jun was nervously fidgeting next to the officiator one again. His best friend diligently beside him. This had failed two times already and he just wanted it to go well. A slight breeze goes through the outside ceremony. Jun’s hair flying with it just as the song begins to flow in the breeze. She walks out, standing at the stairs. Jun’s heart speeds up as he finally feels as if this would work this time. She approaches him slowly, reaching him as the wind blows her dress lightly. She stands in front of him, smiling brightly as he lifts the veil.

“No one died.” She states as her cheeks begin to hurt from how hard she was smiling.

“And no one is missing.” Jun smiles back, his heart still beating rapidly.

“Third times the charm?” She giggles quietly.

“Don’t jinx us.” Jun jokes as he takes her hands in his as the officiator begins the vows.

They finally got their wedding they deserved.
