((I guess I should have figured you'd make it look so extravagant. lol Didn't cross my mind one bit. XD Funny! I like it, though!))

Benjamin's eye's widened when he saw Preeya approach Henrietta so enthusiastically. You'd think she'd be sad about the whole thing. I guess not. Then again, she was always enthusiastic about everything. You have to wonder if she even comprehends the significance behind the Bible's versess or even the sermons on the holy book her father would preach. In all honesty, he was not hurt by the scenario. He did not know why, for sure.

He cocked an eyebrow when Preeya said to him, "How long have we been together, Ben? 6 years now? My father's the pastor."

"Preeya, you know those days are over, right?"

The brunnette nodded, still smiling, for some odd reason. "I know!"

Just like old times, huh? Benjamin did not even notice Henrietta show signs of jealousy until she pulled him closer to her, stating, "We are delighted to have you at our wedding. My fiancé and I would like to go in now. It's nice to meet you, Preeya. Any friend of my Ben's is a friend of mine."

As he stood at the alter, Benjamin could not help but wonder how Henrietta was dealing with the whole situation. The thought of it all was brought to a halt when the bride appeared on the other side of the aisle. He could not believe how beautiful she looked. Wow... The young man watched as Henrietta walked towards her. His eyes focused on hers the whole time.

The pastor began the vows. "Benjamin Ephraim, will you have Henrietta Claes, to be your wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony; will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only for her so long as you both shall live?"

"I will." Benjamin did no know what the feeling was inside him. He just knew this was the moment of a new beginning, for both Henrietta and himself.
