XOXO… Christina…. BACK TO THE STORY
I smiled at my best friend Serena through my netted veil, finally the big day had arrived and soon I would become Mrs. Blair Cornelia Bass. After all it had taken to get to this point, the tears, the anguish, the small pleasures and most importantly, those 3 words. 8 letters he had said to me, those 8 letters which changed my life, his life...both our lives. Now here I stand before a mirror in one of suites of the Empire hotel, surrounded by my mother, my best friend and my childhood maid Dorota, and others who were helping me to be a picture of perfection on this glorious day.
I had mixed emotions, I felt happy for the obvious reasons, while also feeling nervous and worried because I wanted everything to be perfect, then I was confused, was this what I really wanted?
I took off my veil again, probably for the 10th now, and made some adjustments to my hair and make-up. To others, there was no difference, as they were always telling me that I was beautiful, but to me it was drastic, it meant the world to me.
Chuck thought I was beautiful. Whenever he said it, I got a warm feeling inside, it felt like it was genuine, truthful, unlike how it felt when someone whistled at you on the street, it filled me up. But that may be also why I love him, he made me feel complete and secure …PERFECT. Chuck Bass, the prince charming I had dreamt of as a little girl, the prince whom I thought would never come to find me, kiss me and live happily ever after. But he more than found me, he swept me off my feet, and I was glad because of it. Finally our happily ever was starting...today.
I wore my hair in a large, loose finger-curled chignon, while the sides were curled loosely and fell along my face, lastly I wore side-swept bangs. About midway of my head, there was a silver tiara from which my white two-tiered blusher veil fell. The tiara had floral motif which held my Swarovski crystals, one large Citrine crystal was placed in the middle and on each side two medium Fire Opals, and it was then accented with a number of small Light Olivine crystals.
My floor-length A-line dress had a pale yellow and light orange 3-D floral detail on the right, just below the bust and a grey metallic backdrop with light green beading accompanied it. I wore a small platinum necklace with a 2 carat pear-cut Citrine which fit loosely about by neck and matching earrings to compliment the sweetheart neckline of the flowy tulle and satin ball gown. Wow I thought, I feel like a princess, but why was I so worried?
With two final glances at the mirror, I replaced my veil and I was ready, finally. I walked over to the elevator with Serena, my mother and Dorota, and we made our way out of the hotel and to the limo, which was going to take us to Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
The limousine stopped and my mother, Eleanor got out first. She was then followed by Serena who wore a Grecian styled one-shoulder orange chiffon dress covered in gold sparkles which hit just by her knee and a few gold bracelets along with gold Chloé pumps. She was so beautiful, sometimes I wished I could look as effortless as she did, her golden locks flowed freely and there was a small golden flower just above her ear.
My best friend, Serena Van der Woodsen was again here right by my side, and I needed her, as always. She was such a great friend, I wondered what I would do without her. With one last thought, I got out of the limousine and joined them.
As soon as I had disembarked, Jenny, Lily and Vanessa came to greet me and Dorota quickly hurried away, probably to meet Vonya. They along with Serena and my mother, shuffled me off to the venue of the wedding, which was right at the end of the botanical gardens. Along the way they assured me that everything was going according to plan and the guests were all seated and waiting for my grand entrance. I finally felt fully happy now, everything would be great. I thought again, Mrs. Blair Bass, it was happening and my handsome prince awaited!
They all looked so stunning in their yellow and orange hues. Lily wore a Y-neck yellow metallic brocade dress with a few silver pieces and Jenny looked cute in her strapless orange chiffon bubble dress and statement gold pumps, while Vanessa wore a canary yellow low-cut silk maxi dress with strappy silver sandals and my mother wore a simple yet elegant light green shantung portrait collared dress and a string of pearls.
We were almost there, and from the looks of it, it was going to be a nice sunny day. The surroundings were absolutely breath-taking and were going to form the perfect back drop for the day's events.
Finally the wedding march started. Played by a selection of violinists, a pianist and a harpist, it sounded splendid. The guests looked behind towards us and it made me smile, they looked so happy. First, Eleanor walked down the aisle to be seated, afterwards Chuck and Nate, who happened to be the best-man, walked out from the side with the priest and stood before the altar. Slowly the procession down the aisle began, first Rufus met Lily, Vanessa with Dan, then Jenny with Eric and finally Serena walked down the aisle. It was finally my turn and both Cyrus and my father Harold took my arms and assisted me down the aisle. I saw where Dorota had disappeared to, she had found Vonya and was sitting next to him smiling. At the end of the aisle, Cyrus let me go and Harold gave me over to Chuck.
"Please take great care of my sunshine, or you'll regret it!" he said with a chuckle.
