FULL NOVELXO Chapter 82: A Whole New World
"Channel 6 is back to you live, now at the First Diamond Hotel where all of the restaurants are closed for today. Their entire kitchen staff is dedicating their time to serve the visitors of the Wrights for this very special occasion," announced the reporter as she took steps back, showing the two restaurants next to each other.
"The entire hotel is fully booked with friends and family, attending the wedding, and a few who got pretty lucky, booking their rooms in advance." the reporter winked at the camera and told, "They will get to see most of the prominent people in the wedding, especially the Wright Family."
The news lady walked back to the lobby where many of the soldiers stood guard around. She turned to face the very front of the space and pointed to the light reflected on the floor. She said, "See that? It's E and S. The couple had that custom made, reflecting the symbol of their names through the lights above right when you enter the hotel's main entrance."
"And if you look up, you can see a huge framed photo of the couple with their kids, hanging in midair," added the reporter. Her eyes expressed adoration before she spoke, "Clearly, they are all beautiful... What a wonderful family!"
"Everywhere you see, you can feel that castle vibe. Every usher and even the hotel employees are all dressed for the occasion - as royal guards of aids," the reporter said while making her way to the lift. The entire time, the cameramen followed her around.
With a smile, she said, "Now, for the best part. Let's see the venue of the couple's reception!"
On the second floor, all three conference rooms were combined for the wedding party of Ethan and Samantha.
Like the cathedral, the doors were guarded by royal guards.
The biggest wooden door served as the main entrance for the event opened up for the media as they take videos of the venue.
On the sides, the walls were surrounded by high backdrop decors, painted and giving the effect of castle walls.
Curtains flowed down from the ceiling, giving it that elegant look.
Pillars were placed now and then, standing tall in between rows. Peach and pink followers gathered at the top before vines and wisteria blooms draped down.
Looking up to the high ceilings, several crystal chandeliers hang from above, distancing between ten to fifteen meters apart. Around them were white and peach wisteria flowers hanging from the top. "Wow!" Exclaimed the reporter. She took a deep breath while facing the camera and closed her eyes. "Everywhere you go, you can smell the flowers. That sweet delicious scent just fills your nostrils!" Pointing to the main stage, she said, "Here, we have a huge LED screen, showing pictures of the couple and some family pictures, including the kids. It's very clear how they love their children."
The LED screen essentially reached thirty-feet high, clearly showing off Samantha and Ethan's pre-nuptial pictures.
To the left was a ten-feet white cake, decorated with peach and pink edible roses, and dotted with golden pears.
To the right was the band, already setting up for the event.
Looking around the tables, the reporter announced, "And just look at the custom-made silverware. They are all gold, including the outer plate."
Aside from the royal utensils, each table had a generous amount of standing flowers as its centerpieces as well as golden candlesticks.
Like the cathedral, the carpet where the couple is to walk is also in the color of gold.
The reporter acted teary-eyed as she remarked, "It's so beautiful. Citizens of Braeton, I think... no one can beat the Wright couple on their wedding day! It's simply amazing!"
"Well, my job is done here! I wish I could show you more, but our exclusive is only limited to showing you the before-party videos. Still, we are happy to bring you the exclusive coverage of Ethan and Samantha Wright's wedding venues! Thank you for joining us!"
***
After the ceremony at the cathedral, the guests began to arrive at the First Diamond Hotel.
Instantly, wines and canapes were served while waiting for the program to begin.
Live music began to play and at the same time, the couple's prenuptial photos flashed on the LED screen in front of them.
Just like the castle theme, in the photos and videos, Samantha and Ethan, and the kids were all dressed in royal clothes.
Everyone could not help but express their admiration, especially when the family was all gathered in one photo.
"They are such a beautiful family."
"Ethan and Samantha look good together."
"The boy really looks so much like Mr. Wright."
"The girl is just such a cutie!"
After an hour of munching on canapes and drinking wine, the host stood by the stage and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen. In a few minutes from now, our newly wedded couple will be walking down the aisle. Let's get ready and prepare to be amazed!"
"Let us all welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Wright with their children, Kenzie and Kyle!"
Gradually, the lights dimmed, and soon enough; the band began to play their instruments, playing the same Disney song, A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.
Out of nowhere, a series of projected lights came out, lighting the crowd against the dimmed venue.
The lights were perceived as small fairies flying around the space.
Everyone wound up looking up and around the place, awed by the moving light.
Soon the set of lights moved to the front, focusing on the LED screen that reflected a pale white background.
A castle suddenly sprung out of the screen and the lights mimicked fireworks around it. Still, fairies remain to fly around the castle, giving that enchanting feeling while watching.
The audience was in awe and while they were gawking at the center; they did not notice how the music repeated its tune and the doors behind them opened.
Kenzie walked in, hand in hand with his brother, Kyle. She held a microphone in her hand and in her cute and small voice; she sang.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true"
Kyle did not sing at all, but he supplied the lyrics for his sister, smiling now and then, and he reminded her.
All the more, the visitors became in astonishment at the togetherness of the twins.
They both walked in on royal clothes.
Kenzie with a princess crown and a ballroom dress while Kyle was in a royal fit.
A spotlight easily followed them as they walked into the center of the aisle, and only then did the song came to a close.
In the next two seconds, the same projected lights came about again, springing out of nowhere. Around the dimmed walls, everyone could see clouds and skies with stars reflecting against the wisteria flowers, including the huge screen in front of them.
Smoke suddenly came out, especially focusing on the aisle.
The music quickly shifted to a new song. This time, professional singers on the front began to sing 'A Whole New World'.
~"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?"~
From the door, ballerinas came out, thrusting out flower petals on the air.
Behind them were Samantha and Ethan, riding a huge wheeled carpet, covered with a man-made cloud beneath their feet.
Awwws and ooohhss could be heard across the venue, amazed at the couple's party entrance. Their jaws dropped and their eyes glistened, watching the enchanting couple move past them.
As the song progressed, the dancers aided in carrying Kyle and Kenzie, together with their parents. Eventually, all four of them rode on a magic carpet ride up until the very front.
Upon reaching the frontmost part of the venue, the couple's ride was moved to face the crowd, and they both carried their children in their arms.
With Kenzie holding up a microphone to her mother, Samantha sang, "A whole new world.
That's where we'll be."
While Ethan did not like to sing, he had to. He remained expressionless and his tone was flat as he said the next line, "A thrilling chase."
Samantha sang with her husband with a smile and saw clearly how he glared at everyone in the room as if warning them never to tell he sang on his wedding day. "For you and me."
