The congregation began to crowd the church. No longer seen the empty bench, whereas on other ordinary Sundays the presence of the congregation can only be said with fingers. Some of the late congregations came busy looking for empty benches. That is, if during the celebration of mass is busy standing, can be glued to the feet. Before they get an empty bench, Ben demands they sit next to the wall. There are some plastic chairs deliberately placed there.
The thrusters Tomas and Us were busy filming the video, while Paul was treating Andreas' anxiety. The man sat restlessly on the front bench. Benches are reserved for the bride and groom. Fifteen minutes have passed, but the bride-to-be has not yet seen the trunk of her nose. Cold sweat began to pour, her palms felt wet. Rena's departure used to come back to haunt her thoughts and feelings. He was afraid that it would happen again. However, he still placed his hopes on the girl. Mariana will never bring herself and her family members to justice. He believed that.
"There's no answer." Paul whispered in Andreas' ear, pointing at the mobile phone he was holding.
Andreas sighed. "Wait a minute!" Paul tried to calm him down.
The House of Om Mias
He was busy fixing the glove wrapped around his waist. The rush is too late. He woke up today. Luckily the bridal clothes delivered last night, he brought them together to Om Mias' house.
At the time when he was busy fixing the sarong, two sixteen-year-old girls appeared at the door. The youngest twins are Om Mias, Tia and Tesa.
"Anna's eyes aren't ready?" ask Tesa.
Mariana was just sad. "Nobody helped me" he said.
"Oh, our queen is neglected." Tia immediately moved to help Mariana put on the stagen.
Last night Mama told her to sleep at Om Mias' house because it was too noisy at home, while Mariana needed to get enough rest. However, perhaps due to exhaustion, Mariana sleeps not remembering the world. I didn't realize it was morning. Fitri was entrusted to be her makeup artist, but her future sister-in-law had already left early in the morning to Larantuka to pick up the items used to cook goat meat.
"Sit, sit!" tia's orders, "I want to groom and have Tata's hair first."
Mariana according. "You can?" tanyanya doubt.
"Just trust us, Tata even if we're not experts." Tesa smiled.
The girl directly snatched the makeup equipment on the table. While Tia took a comb and started styling Mariana's hair. The agile hands began to dance on the surface of Mariana's skin. However, his uneasiness left him unable to concentrate fully. Understand it for the first time to be a MUA (makeup artist). After they finished the work, Mariana looked at herself through the reflection of the mirror.
...***...
Brother Budi hurriedly came to Mariana at Om Mias' house. The girl was waiting for him in front of the house. Some of the people around her turned to look at the bride.
"It's so pretty" whispered someone to her friend.
"He really was like Vina when she was young." Neighbors next door commented.
Mariana simply smiled hearing their praise.
"Queen, let's go up, honey!"
Mariana laughed at the call. The girl continued to put her butt aside behind Brother Budi. During the trip to the church, some people who passed by him turned their heads. Someone was screaming to call him.
"Anna's word! Ana Tata!" Mariana smiled affectionately at their greeting, waving her hand.
"Sad is very beautiful" praised Abang Budi.
"Thank you, Brother."
Arriving at the church, he was already twenty minutes late. Father Wens is waiting for his arrival. Ben and Us were there. Family members from both sides had been waiting for him for a long time. A cheerful smile adorned their faces. Mom kept approaching him.
"Come, Honey!"
The third church bell is immediately sounded indicating that the celebration of Mass is about to begin. Andrew's heart was pounding when he heard the church bells ringing. The sound of Paul hosting the wedding that morning resounded loudly.
MC Paul: Good morning Father, Mother, Brother, Dear Sister in Christ. This is an important and blessed moment for our children, brothers, brothers, sisters Andreas Suban Crowe and Maria Mariana Koten. These two men of different backgrounds ventured, thanks to the powerful power of God, to commit themselves in the sacred bond of holy marriage. All of us who are present here also become an important part of their lives because we will be witnesses when God unites the bonds of their lives in the ark of family life. May, with His grace and our prayers together, they live this vocation of life joyfully with our Lord Jesus Christ!
The eucharistic celebration of the sacrament of marriage is presided over by Father Wensuslaus Doni Werang, Pr. Now, let us stand and welcome the presence of the two brides!
Andrew, Mariana, family members and witnesses gathered outside the church in front of the entrance.
Father Wens then began with his speech.
Father Father Wens: May the Lord be pleased with the will and hope of all of us. Let us go together before the altar of the Lord!
The procession began, accompanied by an opening song sung by the congregation from the neighborhood on duty on Sunday. In quick succession of misdinars, priests, brides, parents, witnesses and relatives marched to the front of the altar. Then each of them went to the place that had been provided. The bridegroom sits to the left of the bride.
Dance smiled looking at her brother. Gratitude is expressed in prayer. However, he could not lust, his heart felt tickled. No wedding dress swept the floor, like the shadow when he first met Andreas, but the traditional clothing of East Flores, kewatek wrapped around Mariana's body and senuji, dress, the hair is also bunned with konde and then pierced with kokoleo/senula. Marshes.
Andreas also wears a sarong nowing and senuji, while on his head is wrapped in a red cloth called lensu.
There is no song 'Beautiful in white' accompanied by music, but the song 'Bone Ribs', a Christian spiritual song for weddings accompanied by guitar quotes. No red carpet stretches, no beautiful fairies accompany the angel. However, the happiness of simplicity was clearly emanated from the glare of the eyes and the smile that never left everyone's lips.
