BEFORE the day he and Orcel got married Anthony invited his mother to the garden so they could talk. He wants to be sure everything is clear between them before he makes a vow to his fiancee. Now they can talk like a son and a mother. 
Anthony can see that his mother was so nervous about being with him. His father let her stay with them; of course she said no because she knew he was still angry. But he couldn't do anything at first, even though he didn't want to, because his father wanted it. Well, he respects his father's decision. 
"Would you like some coffee, Anthony?" she said.
Anthony shook his head. He doesn't take coffee late at night. "So, what are your plans today? That, Dad, and Rafael, forgive you?"
"I'm just waiting for you, son, to say you forgive me."
Anthony smiled. Yes, he was ready to forgive her. "I forgive you. Now I will accept you again here in my heart. So, please don't leave us again!"
Anthony can see it in his mother's eyes—the forming tears. But she still prevents it. 
"Anthony, thank you so much for welcoming me back into your life. Can I hug you even just now? I hope you don't hold a grudge against me because I really want to hug you!" She said it emotionally. 
Anthony didn't speak anymore; he just hugged his mother. 
The tears fell completely."Thank you, son; thank you now that I can disappear from this world because you have forgiven me completely."
"You will not disappear in this world, Mommy; you will still see your grandson and granddaughter with me. Orcel is right; now I feel better because I have completely forgiven you. Orcel and I are getting married tomorrow; I'm so happy because it's complete us.
The lady cried when Anthony called her mommy. She's been waiting for this moment to come. Now that's really happening. 
Anthony hugged his mother even more. He didn't notice the tears running down his cheeks. 
Both Don Martin and Rafael were smiling at what they saw. 
WEDDING DAY. 
Anthony was restless in the room he was in. 
"Relax, Anthony, and sit down," said the father. 
"I'm so nervous, Dad. And I cannot wait to see my bride; we can go out to the venue and wait."
Rafael laughed at his brother's appearance. He was really excited, but at the same time he was nervous, like what he said. 
"Okay if that's what you want, Anthony; after all, it's almost time for you to get married."
"Daddy, we are so handsome today!" Nick said. 
"It's not just for today, my son; we are handsome every day, especially you, okay?"
"Bro, can I the most handsome man today because I am the groom," Anthony protested. 
"Okay, Uncle, just for today," said the nephew. 
They started laughing. 
"Okay, let's go now!"
"Alright, you go first. I'll just go to Orcel's father in the other room so we can go out together."
"Okay, Dad, thank you for that," Anthony told his father. 
The father nodded to him, and they went out. 
"Orcel, this is your day; you're really beautiful like a princess today, and then the ceremony was a beach wedding; wow, it's really romantic!"
"Stop it, Myra; you keep making me nervous."
"Well, you must be nervous because your honeymoon is later," she joked.
"I really thought what you were going to say, that honeymoon was immediately on your mind."
"Oh, Orcel, are you ready?"
"Yes, Aunt Dina."
"Why, Aunt, it must be Mommy, Orcel."
Orcel smiled."Okay, Mommy."
"Okay, let's go; my son has been waiting for you to get married for a while now."
Orcel smiled and nodded at her mother-in-law. 
"Aunt Orcel, what I'm wearing today is perfect for me, same as yours."
"Yes, because you are the flower girl."
"When I grow up and get married too, I want it to be like yours, Aunt."
The three of them laughed at what he said. 
"Yes, Nicole, a day like this will come to you. Maybe 20 years from now."
"Grandma, it's been a long time," she complained. 
They laughed even more."Well, yes, you need to grow fast and then finish your studies. Then your daddy will allow you to get married. But you must have a boyfriend; that's important because how can you get married if you don't have a groom?"
"I will have like Daddy, Uncle, and Grandfather."
"Good, so let's go; they're getting impatient, mostly Anthony, to see his beautiful bride."
"Yes, let's go see Aunt Orcel."
A smile appeared on their lips. 
As Orcel walked closer to the man who would be with her forever, she couldn't stop her tears from falling. She looked at his father. She's so happy because he's with her now. 
When Orcel was in front of Anthony.
Anthony saw her tears flow down her cheeks.
Orcel hugged her father."Be a good wife to him and mother to your kids, my daughter."
"Yes, Dad, I will," Orcel response in tears.
"Go with him, my daughter." He give to Anthony his daughter hand. "Thank you for loving my daughter, Anthony. Take care of her, okay?"
"Yes, Dad, you can count on me; all my life I will take her and love her!" Anthony turned to his bride."Why are you crying, my love?"
"I'm crying because I'm so happy, my love."
He wiped her cheek and hugged her tightly. Then they walk to the priest waiting for them. 
The wedding vow began. 
"You, Orcel Ello Casino, do you accept Anthony Victorino as a spouse and companion through thick and thin?"
"I ask that God take you, Anthony, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."
"And you, Anthony Victorino, have you accepted Orcel Ello Casino as your spouse through thick and thin?"
"I, Anthony, take you, Orcel, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."
"Now put the ring on your finger. And follow me in what I said, Anthony."
"Orcel, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
"Anthony, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
"Now let us humbly invoke God's blessing upon this bride and groom, that in his kindness he may favor with his help those on whom he has bestowed the Sacrament of Matrimony. In the sight of God and these witnesses, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now begin your adventure of marriage with a kiss."
Anthony smiled first."My love, now that you're Mrs. Victorino, you can rub my abs anytime you want, because I know you're fantasizing about it," he said to her. 
"Anthony, what are you talking about? Are you going to kiss me? Or, I'm going to kiss you for a chance."
"Can you, Mrs. Victorino?"
Orcel did not answer him, but she kissed him. 
All the witnesses applauded today. 
"Orcel, you're cool!" Myra shouted, making everyone look at her. 
She was a little embarrassed, so she bowed down as she felt that everyone's eyes were no longer on her; she immediately looked up to see a smiling man who winked at her. 
"Oh, my goodness, where is my heart? I think it fell because of that man's wink, huh?" Myra even held her chest. And she can feel her heart beating fast. 
"I love you, my wife, Orcel Casino Victorino," Anthony shouted, surprising their guests. 
"I love you too, Anthony Victorino," Orcel shouted back. 
So the people clapped and shouted again. 
"Kiss, kiss, kiss!"
Orcel and Anthony didn't waste any time; they granted everyone's wish and gave them a very long kiss. 
End.
