Sweep You Off Your Feet (Eternal Love Series Book 1)

The Sacred Heart chapel was decorated with  a roses, ranunculus, greenery and bougainvillea arch at the entrance, with sweeping tulle fabric tied at the doorway. The entire aisle was strewn with rose petals. Small floral arrangements, the same as her bridal bouquet was placed in small pots along the edges of the aisle. Pockets of brightly colored flower arrangements was placed near the area where they would perform the rituals and unity ceremonies.

Jade handed Karen her bridal bouquet made of quicksand roses, anemones, garden roses, astilbe, ranunculus, and greenery in a classic style. The ceremony was about to start, the music started as Jayson and Jaden waited with the marriage officiant for his bride. 

The moment, he laid his eyes upon her, he was lost in her ethereal beauty. He waited with bated breath as she approached him slowly, with both her mom and dad, walking her down the aisle. It was a very emotional moment for him. He never thought this day would ever arrive in his life, that he would ever fall in deep love and marry the woman of his dreams. 

He went forward, as her father gave her hand in his and left to take his seat. The ceremony began as they were united together in the eyes if God, destined to be with each other, through all ups and downs. 

Jayson kissed his bride and the crowd cheered them as they left for the photographs outside at the arch. Soon they left for his dad's home for the reception party. 

The reception area was decorated with a grand floral arch at the entrance of a huge white tented structure with an exotic garland of greenery and paper lanterns hanging paired with floral wreaths and ribbons decorated the entire space.  A mobile cocktail bar was set up with the sea of cocktails ready and waiting for the guests to take and the bartender busy mixing together some fruity mocktails to the kids so they don’t feel left out.

Long wooden tables covered with white cloth were placed on one side for all the guests to sit together and eat. They were decorated with beautiful brocade table runners and centerpieces made of a patch of moss, a romantic terrarium, candles, a few blooms and a succulent or two. The dance area was segregated with a makeshift low stage created. 

When the music played, the newlyweds enjoyed their first dance together as a married couple. Jayson was in a hurry to whisk his bride away to his home. So the moment the celebrations were over, he picked up his bride and left amidst loud jokes and cheers from his friends. He would make love to her all night and every night thereafter.

The others stayed and enjoyed the party, dancing,  drinking and singing. Juliette left the party to go inside the house and take a shower and call it a day when she was picked up bridal style and placed in a truck. Looking up she stared confused at Xavion. 

"Where are you taking me Xavion?" She asked, struggling to open the door and escape, but it was locked.

"I'm abducting you to my island. Spend a few days with me. That's the only way you'll know me," he said as her jaws dropped. 

"Abducting me? What nonsense?" She squeaked,  words refusing to come out of her mouth. She was too scared to even think of an escape plan. This guy was impossible. 

"I'll scream, " she said when suddenly he held a napkin of chloroform and she lost her consciousness. 

"I'm sorry darling,  this is the only way, " said Xavion as he drove towards the airport.
