“(Yes. Yes. You speak English well.)”
Fortunately, I thought I would be able to get along well in the future.
William Carver looked at me and gave me a deliberately solemn expression.
“(I heard that the son-in-law prepares the congratulatory song, but you must have invited it properly, right?)”
“(Sure.)”
If it was a congratulatory song, she couldn’t be missing.
What dress would you choose?
The wedding day has finally dawned.
I asked Elisa to show me her wedding dress, but she refused, saying she wanted to surprise her on the day.
It was an act that I couldn’t understand when I recalled going around to see Sudeme together in Korea, but I accepted it because that’s how it is in American culture.
‘What kind of dress did he choose?’
If it was Elisa’s sense, she would have chosen a really nice dress.
“Jaegu. It’s really nice here.”
Im Hanul said.
In Korean weddings, there were few cases where friends were involved, except for the congratulatory song and the host, but in American weddings, both the bride and groom needed a bridesmaid.
The Groomsman, the groom’s best man, consisted only of people I trusted. I asked Lim Han-ul, Brayden Harper, Ricardo Gibson, and Choi Ji-hoon to become groomsmen, and they all accepted without hesitation for a second.
‘They all look good on their clothes.’
Among them, Hanul Lim took on the role of Best Man. Other people were also precious, but I couldn’t change them with anyone because they were my friends who have been with me since the hardest times until now.
Im Han-ul was nervous, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
“The original ceremony is more tense.’
The day before the wedding, bridesmaids and groomsmen gathered to greet each other and rehearse. Nevertheless, it was natural that the original ceremony would be much more tense.
Today, special guests were seated.
‘I didn’t expect Seol Gyeong-taek to come…’
President Seol Kyung-taek took special time to attend the wedding. Thanks to this, there was an uproar among the guests.
“(They say that person is the president of the Republic of Korea.)”
“(President? Is it because of the Carver Group? The scale is huge.)”
“(They said it was the groom’s guest, not Carver.)”
“(Really? What is the groom doing?)”
“(I heard he’s an individual investor. He must be close friends with Brayden Harper.)”
“(It must be a big hand.)”
It was not burdensome because I had known each other for a long time, but it was very meaningful for the president of a country to attend a wedding held in a foreign country.
Even William Carver, who didn’t blink an eye when other guests appeared, was taken aback.
It came to me and whispered.
“(Shouldn’t you have told me in advance if the president was attending?)”
“(I really didn’t expect you to come.)”
“(Heh heh. This person is really. He’s a really erratic person.)”
He smiled contentedly. Thanks to Seol Kyung-taek, the score seemed right.
“(If you don’t mind, ask the president to give you a wedding speech at the reception. You’ve come this far, shouldn’t you say what you want to say?)”
“(Let me ask you)”
Seol Kyung-taek might not like it, so we decided to talk about it. Seats for the guests were assigned, so those who arrived first sat down and ate refreshments.
Meals will be served on time, but it was specially prepared because it was not polite to have early guests sit empty-handed.
As I approached, the bodyguards moved out of the way.
“President Seol Gyeong-taek.”
“Yes. Chairman Kim Jae-gu.”
Seol Kyung-taek’s leisurely answer overflowed with aura.
“If you don’t mind, would you like to say a word in today’s wedding speech?”
“I mean?”
“You’ve come a long way, but I’d like to hear a word of thanks.”
“Of course you should.”
he readily accepted.
“thank you.”
“This is not someone else’s request, but Chairman Kim Jae-goo’s request, can you refuse?”
It was burdensome, but it felt good. He was a person who made me want to take care of something more. This must be the secret to bringing people together.
“If you need anything, please let me know anytime.”
“I’ll ask the waiter, so don’t worry, Chairman, just focus on the wedding. Isn’t it once in a lifetime?”
Actually, it’s the second one, but I don’t think you need to correct it.
“thank you.”
The guest lineup of the Carver Group was also quite splendid. Three U.S. senators attended, and the former president also came a long way to attend the wedding.
A familiar figure I saw on the news shook hands with William Carver.
“(William Carver. The wedding hall is really nice.)”
“(Heh heh. My daughter chose from one to ten. How is it?)”
“(It’s really cool because your daughter has good sense. I wonder who the lucky groom is.)”
As soon as my story came out, I was immediately concerned.
The wedding venue Elisa had chosen and decorated was one of the best wedding venues I had ever seen. A pool villa accommodation with a swimming pool was visible in the front, green meadows on the side, and a wonderful cliff overlooking the white sandy beach and the sea in the back.
On top of that, Elisha hand-selected small and rich flowers were decorated, and beautifully decorated lighting was decorated in preparation for the weather.
The wedding march made of flower paths was the most gorgeous I have ever seen. It was to the point where I wondered if it was too flashy, but looking at the guest lineup, this was the right thing to do.
William Carver laughed heartily.
“(He’s a very good friend.)”
William Carver had the brightest smile I had ever seen.
“(Who are you?)”
“(He is a professional investor in Korea. He is a very polite and sensible friend. I wonder if the president of the Republic of Korea came in person?)”
“(Is the president here?)”
“(He’s sitting over there.)”
Seol Kyung-taek’s power was amazing.
“(I should say hello to you.)”
“(I’ll ask my son-in-law to introduce me.)”
It was clear that any former president of the United States would have had enough power now. It was a network that would come in handy someday.
William Carver called me.
“(Come and say hello.)”
“(Yes. Father-in-law.)”
As I approached, William Carver introduced me to him first.
“(This is my son-in-law Kim Jae-gu.)”
“(Hello. My name is Jaegu Kim.)”
“(This is the former president, Aaron Diggs.)”
“(Aaron Diggs.)”
He held out his first hand and shook it lightly. His eyes were quite intense, but he was a man with softness in his strength.
“(Son-in-law. Can you introduce Mr. Aaron Diggs to President Seol Gyeong-taek?)”
“(All right.)”
The connections between the giants would help each other as well. When I introduced Aaron Diggs to Seol Kyung-taek, the two continued their conversation with bright expressions.
As he lived in the United States for a long time, Seol Kyung-taek’s English was quite fluent.
‘It’s like a native.’
At least that’s how it sounded to my ears.
“Jaegu. The ceremony will begin soon, so let’s go to the waiting room.”
Im Han-ul gulped at Seol Kyung-taek and Aaron Diggs. It was not even a diplomatic seat, but it was worth being nervous because the two giants were gathered in one place.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
When I entered the waiting room, the other groomsmen were already seated after getting ready. Other people were using other waiting rooms.
‘It’s just the beginning.’
It was a second marriage, but it was as tense as the first time.
“(Mr. Jaegu. Congratulations on your marriage. You can do well if you do as usual.)”
“(Bang with full power.)”
Brayden Harper and Ricardo Gibson inspired me. Choi Ji-hoon and Lim Han-ul also cheered together.
“Brother. You can do well.”
“Don’t worry about that. Everything will be fine.”
“I think you’re more nervous?”
Im Han-ul’s neck was stiff, perhaps because he had just seen the president. Seeing that, I was relieved.
I patted the boy on the shoulder.
‘Della Foster. I can’t see your face, but you’ll come on time, right?’
When I checked yesterday, they said they would arrive on time, but they didn’t board the flight I sent.
It would be best if Della Foster came, but there was no compulsion as it was just a congratulatory song given out of friendship without paying money. I just have my trust in her.
When I said that I wanted to make a request, she willingly offered to sing for me as a friend.
‘I’ll come. Let’s believe.’
[(We will start the ceremony from now on. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the guests who attended this event.)]
The moderator’s comment began.
I looked back at my groomsmen and clenched my fists.
“(Thank you all.)”
“(Please leave it to me.)”
After a simple thank you, my turn came right away with the sound of music.
[(First, there will be the position of the groom. The position of the groom!)]
The door opened with a cheerful marching song. The warm sunlight poured in and the pure white Virgin Road spread out in front of my eyes. The wedding hall was filled with guests seated on both sides of Virgin Road.
It was as if I became the main character in a movie with the great nature in harmony.
‘Don’t be nervous. Kim Jae-goo.’
He swallowed and raised the corners of his mouth. I took one step forward in time with the marching song. The sound of applause from the guests hit my ears.
people i know
People I don’t know.
A lot of people were celebrating our wedding. It’s not a casual relationship you met in a company or society, but a relationship that is intertwined despite not having to be involved.
My heart was filled with excitement when I saw the faces of the precious people who came all the way from Korea. Among them, I saw the faces of many people, including Lim Han-ul’s father, Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun, Chairman Shin Hee-seok, Congressman Han Sung-min, and Chairman Shin So-hee.
The people from the law firm Sanctuary, and the staff helping me with my work, even though I brought only the people I wanted, countless people filled the seats.
And behind me, my reliable helpers, the Groomsmen, were walking. They were precious people I could trust and entrust my back to.
My heart swelled.
The path leading up to the podium was softly illuminated by sunlight. It seemed to show the way to go in the game’s quest.
When I put my foot on Virgin Road, the applause of the guests sitting on either side hit my ears. I leisurely waved and greeted them and walked up to the podium.
No matter how many photographers they hired, the flash went off every time they took a step.
[(Following the groom, there will be the position of the bridesmaids.)]
Bridesmaids in beautiful dresses in light pink and light purple showed up with small bouquets of flowers. Like Elisa’s friends who were models, they were all tall.
I heard Choi Jihoon swallowing saliva from behind.
When they climbed the Virgin Road, it felt like a fashion show rather than a wedding venue. They left Elisa’s seat empty and took their seats across from us.
It was just like the rehearsal.
[(The following will be the position of the parents of both families.)]
My parents showed up with my mother-in-law.
The hanbok bathed in the warm sunlight was more beautiful and nicer than when seen indoors. Applause broke out among the guests.
‘It suits you well.’
It was a godsend to avoid primary colors and match them with pastel tones. It was not overdone and blended well with the surroundings.
I heard the murmur of the guests.
“(What kind of clothes is that?)”
“(Hanbok, a traditional Korean costume.)”
“(awesome.)”
I felt better because I felt like I had built a side for the two of you. My parents sat on the chairs in front of me, and my mother-in-law took a seat on the chair in front of Elisa’s destination.
[(And the long-awaited highlight. There will be a bride position.)]
Along with a soft melody, Elisa appeared with arms crossed with William Carver.
‘omg.’
For a moment, the guests were quiet.
Dressed in an elegant and rich dress that shines in the sunlight, Elisa looks like Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology.
It was breathtakingly beautiful.
I couldn’t even think of the bridesmaids who had just walked down Virgin Road.
In front of her stood Ha-yeon in a cute outfit. Elisa picked out the child’s clothes, too, and she looked like a little fairy.
‘cute.’
Ha-yeon grabbed the flower basket with a serious expression. Next to her was a boy of similar height, the son of Elisa’s second brother, Elaine Carver.
I remembered that expression that seemed to be a little heartache was very similar to my father’s.
Elisa and William Carver, wearing veils and bowing their heads, began to move slowly as the two children walked away scattering flowers.
“(really pretty.)”
“(It’s beautiful.)”
The audience applauded and admired. My heart pounded as she got closer to me.
Finally, Ha-yeon came to me. He gently stroked the head of the child who couldn’t even make eye contact.
Then the tension was relieved, and he smiled.
William Carver came to me with Elisa.
“(Please take good care of my daughter from now on.)”
“(I will do my best to create a happy family.)”
