Its been two months now that Williams got married to Rosa. Today been the 5th of August he's given out his beloved and only daughter to Raymond in marriage at the St Stephen Catholic church in calabar. A mixed feelings of sadness and joy overwhelmed him as he watch them make their vows.

Camilla was smiling and also shedding tears of joy for her daughter as she watch her make her vows.

"Raymond Robert  Orlando, do you take Jasmine Williams Brandy for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?", the priest ask.

Ray turned and glance at Jasmine for a moment with smiles before be answered.
"Yes. I do".

The priest gave a nod and turned to Jasmine. "Do you take Raymond Robert Orlando as your faithful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?", the priest asked.

Jasmine glanced at Raymond with those dazzling gaze of hers and smiled at him. Ray smiled down at her and  waited patiently for her to answer. "Ye....."

"Hold on,hold on,hold on", a feminine voice interrupted Jasmine's response to the priest question.

All attention including that of Raymond and Jasmine who was curious and scared was drawn to the person who had spoken. "Jessica", both of them muttered in unison.

There was silence in the crowd that has assembled to witness this two get wedded today.

Jessica walk forward and said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt,but I was already late so I just needed to cause a little distraction so I could have the opportunity to hear this beautiful couple make their vows. So sorry for the interruption, please go ahead priest with the question", Jessica apologized with smiles winking at Jasmine and Raymond and even given them a thumbs up.

The couple glance at each other and shook their head in disbelief. "She's really a crazy bitch", Ray whispered to Jasmine with a grin. "I agree with you", Jasmine whispered back with a grin and they turned to face the priest for Jasmine to answer her vows.

"Please permit me to ask the bride this question again. "Do you take Raymond Robert Orlando as your faithful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?", the priest ask.

"Yes,I do", she answered with smiles and Ray gave her a warmth squeeze on her hand.

"With this declaration being made,I now declare you as husband and wife", the priest declared and there was a thunderous applause from the audience. "Let's pray." The priest added and after the prayer he said,
"Now is time to exchange the ring".

A five year old boy named Alex who was a cousin to Raymond came to present the wedding ring to Ray. Ray took out the silver glittering ring and said. "This signifies my love and fidelity to you", and the he slide it to Jasmine's ring finger.

It was time for Jasmine to do the same. Alicia who Jasmine had met when they travelled to Abuja was her little bride. Alicia smiled up at her and wink at her before handing the ring to her. "Accept this ring as a symbol of my love and fidelity to you", Jasmine said and slide the silver ring to Ray's ring finger.

"You may now kiss the bride", the priest said.

Ray unveiled her face and kissed her so deeply. Jasmine accepted his kiss wholeheartedly as she kissed him passionately while the audience kept clapping for the new wedded couple.

They were now in the reception at the same Monty hall Williams had used for his launching of his websites.

Cutting of cake has been done,dancing has been done by couple and families including friends and well wishers.

"Please let the maid of honor step forward", the MC announced.

No other than Sylvia was the maid of honor of the day. She stepped forward given the MC a quizzical look.

"Don't look at me, you should be looking at him", he paused and Sylvia looked back and saw Louis who was the groomsman of the day standing few steps behind her, " he has something to say to you",the MC added.

Louis went on his knees with a small box showcasing a gold ring on his hand said. "I really love you,Sylvia, and I want to take it to those next level. Will you marry me?",Louis asked gazing up at awestruck Sylvia.

"Let me think for a second," Sylvia said leaving Louis to a frown. She pretend to do some thinking. "Of course,I will,silly!", she exclaimed and ran to him for a hug and then Louis slide the ring to her finger and the audience applauded for them.

Moments later, the MC came with an announcement. "The groom has a little surprise for his bride. Please let's be quiet while we listen and watch what he has to present for his bride", the MC announced.

Ray stood up and took the mic from the MC and said. "I have a song to dedicate to you my love,my bride,my wife,my princess, my world,my weakness and my strength. I love you so much", Ray said with a wide grin and signaled the DJ to play an instrumental of 'Brian Nhira till death do us apart'.

He cleared his throat and started:
"I never knew what love could do,
To a heart,that is surrendered,
I found out the truth when I met you
Now my heart is yours forever....

Ray pulled Jasmine up for a dance as he sang along.

Jasmine was blushing so red as she wrapped one arms on his neck and  swayed to the song.

" I'm not afraid to admit that
You've become my everything
I'm not afraid to tell you,
I fear a future without you....
Without you I'll be lonely
Without I'd be lost
I need your love till death do us apart",Ray ended the song and gave Jasmine a kiss that forever to come Jasmine will still remember this special kiss.

"I want you to know that you're the girl I'd ever wanted and I'll always want for the rest of my life. I promise to love and be with only you forever", he whispered to her after a break from the first kiss.

"Oh my beloved,I love you so much. Loving you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm gonna love you till death do us apart. I love you my beloved Raymond", Jasmine whispered back and they got into another round of kissing while their invitees kept clapping for the latest couple in town.

Three years later,Raymond and Jasmine were having a picnic at obudu cattle range garden with their two years old twins,Jason and Jenny.

"You remember when we first came here?", Ray asked.

"Yes. Then,we didn't know our fate", Jasmine replied.

"Yeah. You never believed we'd end up together, right?", he asked with smiles.

"That's right", she replied smiling back.

"But here we are today. With our two lovely twins. I'm so privileged to have you three. Without you three,I'd be incomplete. I promise to always protect you and my kids. I love you", he said holding her hand.

"I love you too", she replied and kissed him.

Jason and Jenny watch silently as their parents kissed. When Jasmine and Raymond broke the kiss and saw their kids watching them. "We're sorry kids,you'll be seeing this often", Jasmine said and carried Jenny in her arms and placed kisses on her making her to giggle before pulling her husband and her son into a group hug.
