Vivian picked her way through the flowers and looked down at the lily carefully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She gently touched it and didn’t find anything in particular at first. Suddenly she saw a ring lying quietly in the stamen of the lily. With a refreshing smell of the flower to it, the ring was shinning under the sun. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Huh?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian picked it up curiously. When she turned around to show it to Christian, she found him behind her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Smiling, Christian turned it over and get down on one knee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian seemed shocked, gasping. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Vivian.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian’s smile was gone and he looked up at Vivian with a serious look. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Will you marry me again?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Vivian’s look of shock, he continued. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Please forgive me for my arrogance and ignorance in the past. I should have known how precious you were sooner. Vivian, I’m sorry I hurt you so much. I was too self-righteous before. I’ll make it up to you in the rest of my life and give you a lifetime of happiness.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian took her hand, put the ring on her finger and gave it a kiss. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I love you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian burst into tears of joy and she couldn’t describe her feelings in words. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She had always assumed that Christian wouldn’t care about these details because he’d been such a proud man after all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He stood up, gently wiped her tears and lowered his head to kiss her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Standing not far away with Hope in his arms, Patrick looked at them kissing with a smile on his face. It seemed that his wish had come true, but he cried inside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Three months later, Christian and Vivian’s wedding was held as scheduled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick had planned their wedding himself. It was the last thing he’d intended to do for Vivian. He would start looking out for himself from now on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the quiet dressing room, Vivian was wearing a white wedding dress with her gorgeous hair decorated with pink petals. What a beautiful blushing bride! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She hadn’t wanted Christian to hold a big wedding because she didn’t care about these rituals very much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he’d insisted on throwing a spectacular wedding for her to make her the happiest bride in the world. Thus he’d spent a fortune on such a dreamy and grand wedding. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian looked at her face in the mirror. She had never been happy before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With Christian’s love, she felt like she was in heaven now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It felt like a beautiful dream. They said a woman was most beautiful on her wedding day. It turned out to be true. A woman was most beautiful when she married a man she was in love with. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wow, check out this beautiful bride.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick was amazed to see her. He looked handsome in his blue suit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Patrick.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian turned round and smiled. She was so beautiful that Patrick couldn’t look away from her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Vivian, you must be the most beautiful bride in the world.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick couldn’t help admiring her beauty as he helped her to her feet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She slowly stood up because the bottom of her wedding gown was very fluffy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick was surprised to see her protective hand on her belly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was a little embarrassed to see Patrick’s surprised look. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The answer was self-evident. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Let’s go. Christian is waiting outside.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick took her arm and walked out of the room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He had insisted on walking her down the aisle as her brother before the wedding. He was the only family she had. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Christian had invited Vivian’s parents to their wedding, Vivian hadn’t talked to them at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was a person of principle. They had chosen to sabotage her happiness for Jessica, she would never forgive them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian had invited many celebrities to the wedding. Most of them didn’t know that he’d been married before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Vivian had first married him, there had no ceremony whatsoever. But now he wanted everyone to know that Vivian was his wife and his one and only love.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Holding Patrick’s arm, Vivian walked slowly toward Christian. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian watched her walking toward him like an angel. He had always been calm and collected, but now he was a little nervous. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When they came up to Christian, Patrick gave her away to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Christian’s determined eyes, Patrick smiled and got off the stage. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Standing before the priest, the bride and the groom looked at each other with loving eyes and exchanged rings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The audience applauded. Hope, now sitting in Patrick’s arms, clapped his hands excitedly too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian held Vivian in his arms. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They kissed passionately. A lifetime of happiness awaited them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
