Chapter 550 - Wedding day (S&F) (4) (1/2)
Aiden spotted Sarah on the side of the villa, talking with three people from security. She was holding a tablet and showing something; probably their positions on the map of the property.
He waited for her to notice him.
”You are heading out?” She smiled when their eyes met.
He nodded and walked toward her. ”When I get back, I will help you.”
Sarah met him halfway and gave him a hug. ”See you when you get back.”
They kissed and Aiden went to the black limousine. Jeff and Felix were inside already. They were going to pick up Gustav and then head to the salon which specializes to groom men for events such as this.
…
Sarah was on the rooftop terrace, double-checking that drones are set up and Eve can control them.
Felix created drones which are almost noiseless and added components so that Eve can use them. They have cameras which serve as eyes for Eve, and Felix equipped them with his latest prototype components for defense. Part of Sarah hopes that someone causes trouble so they can try that feature out.
JoAnna called her to come to room which they transformed into styling area for girl. The stylists arrived.
Leah was also there, ready to be dolled up. She arrived on time with Isabella. Isabella was got her dress on a hanger, and her hair and makeup will be done by the stylists when they finish with Leah, JoAnna and Sarah.
Leah, JoAnna and Sarah had matching hair and makeup, as well as dresses. All that was Sophia's choice. Three of them will be standing next to Sophia during ceremony, and Felix will be accompanied by Gustav, Jeff and Aiden.
Makeup for the girls was minimalistic, and it was done in few minutes. What took time was the hair. Three of them had matching hairstyles: hair was parted in several braids and wrapped around the head to form a high bun and a braid-headband. Ribbons and flowers were braided into the hair. When done, they looked like flowery fairies.
While getting their hair braided, three of them tried to sneak a glance at Sophia, but they were not successful because she was surrounded with two hairstylists and makeup artist. Stella and Isabella were also there, helping out to hold things for the hairstylists who seemed like they don't have enough hands. Sophia's hairstyle was more complex, and it took a long time.
When hair and makeup were done, JoAnna and Sarah put spare dresses on and headed with their tasks, to make sure everything is in order outside. Leah wrapped a robe around herself and stayed to help with Sophia's hair. They will put their event-dresses (which Sophia picked) just before two o'clock. Dresses are made of silk in pastel colors: JoAnna's is blue, Sarah's green and Leah's teal.
(12:53 PM)
Guests started trickling in.
First layer of security check was further down the driveway, making sure that only people with invitations can come close to villa. Second layer of security check was placed close to the main entry to the villa, and they verified identities of guests before letting them inside.
Guests could use lounging areas in the house or proceed forward to the backyard where seating, snacks and beverages were offered.
As you walk out to the back garden, on both left and right, tables are arranged with seating and white and purple flower arrangements. Between the tables, straight ahead, is a flower tunnel made of dangling white and light purple blooms. Tunnel leads to the small podium where wedding ceremony will be performed. It looks like something that came out of a fairytale.
Playhouse and pool are also open and available for guests to use. It is a warm summer day, so it's expected that later in the afternoon some guests might decide to enjoy in the pool. Towels and swimsuits were available.
Damien arrived with his family.
Sarah and JoAnna welcomed them. Their pre-wedding duties are done, so now they can welcome guests until 1:30 PM when they will go up to join Sophia and change into dresses for the event.
