[ Iuri Stevens' Vision]

As the instrumental music begins to play, I get a little startled to see Aya stepping on the edge of the red carpet, I relax at the beautiful sight of my violet she-devil, coming towards me dressed as a bride. Her dress is very large, it looks like a huge mountain of snow, but it enhances her beauty even more, the contrast of her dark hair with the white makes her mesmerizing. The dress is a strapless one, tight on the belly and with a huge skirt, round and covered by a lace of flowers. I try to control myself as much as I can not to get down from the altar and go to get her.

My heart leaps in my chest, everything in me is alive and reacting to her, I meet her eyes and she smiles between the tears that stream down her beautiful face. She is here today, waiting at the altar, it is one of the best days of my life, finally I will be able to call her my wife.

Our little Ysie comes walking in front of him, and just like her mother she looks beautiful, in a little pink dress, the only difference is that hers is not a strapless one. My daughter looks like a little princess.

Mr. Francisco smiles broadly as he brings his daughter to the altar.

This year so much has changed, Aya and her parents finally got along, and Cris gave up her adventurous life and is now dating the boss of the office where she works.

I take the rings from Ysie's hands and give her a kiss on her forehead, she goes to my mother who carries her. So beautiful is my daughter, who is three years old today. Leandro and Luana, along with Cris and George are our godfathers and godmothers, their one year old son is in his mother's lap, a very beautiful and smart boy.

- I entrust you with my greatest treasure, take good care of it, as you have always done - Francisco hugs me and gives me his daughter's hand.

I feel his hands trembling inside the gloves, but the smile on his face warms me in a way that I can't even put into words.

Francisco takes his place beside his wife.

We stand facing the pastor and he begins to speak, probably this whole speech is important, I even wanted to pay attention, but all I can pay attention to is my she-devil dressed and smiling in the most joyful way I have ever seen.

- Aya Millenis, do you take Iuri Stevens as your husband, to honor and respect him, in joy and in sorrow, in wealth and in poverty, in health and in sickness, promising fidelity until death do you part?

She smiled at the pastor's question to her, all eyes are on us. My fiancée looks at me with tears in her eyes, tears of happiness, a wide smile on her face and this makes my heart warm with joy. I never thought I would be living this moment, a dream I thought would never come out of there, out of the world of dreams, a world I created when I was six years old.

I never imagined that one day, my shell of a cold, picky man would be shattered by the same woman who made me create her to protect me from others. All my life I have been in love with only one woman, the woman who held my world together when it was falling apart, years later destroyed it, and after a few more years rebuilt it again. Our story was made hard, but deep down I always knew that she was the right woman for my life, no matter how many times I tried to refuse those feelings and refused to believe that things could have been different.

I remember everything we went through to be here today. Of the hurtful words we both heard, she from her parents and I from her. Even though I was broken by her words, I was not able to leave her at the mercy of the world, so I decided to walk away and hid everything I felt for her, until we met again and I did something that I regret to this day, but I will take it to my grave with me. But today none of that matters. I want to do my best never to see her cry in pain again. I will give her the world.- I, Aya Millenis, take Iuri Stevens to be my husband, promise to honor and respect him, in joy and in sorrow, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health, and promise fidelity till death do us part.

My heart fills with joy; I can feel her trembling hands inside her gloves. I more than anyone know how shy she is.

- Iuri Stevens, do you take Aya Millenis to be your wife, to honor and respect her, in joy and in sorrow, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health, promising fidelity until death do you part?

- I, Iuri Stevens, take Aya Millenis as my wife, promise to honor and respect her, in joy and in sorrow, in wealth and in poverty, in health and in sickness, and promise fidelity until death do us part.

- Did you bring your vows? - asks the minister.

- Yes," Aya and I answer together.

- Very well, Iuri, please.

- Violet Devil - I call her by her nickname and she smiles - You are the love of my life, I have loved you since the moment you hugged me when we were still children, I remember every detail of that day, how impressed I was with your eyes and your attitude of hugging me and being kind to me. Since that day I already knew how important you would be in my life, but unfortunately my shyness at that time did not allow me to get close to you, but as they say, God writes straight with crooked lines, and He wrote that our destiny was already mapped out, I was born with a purpose - I pause and take a deep breath - And this purpose is to love you, I promise to be by your side in any situation for all the days of my life. I promise to steal all your sadness, because my goal is always to see your smile on your face that has already cried so much, I want to bring peace so that you can rest in my arms and never feel alone, or helpless, because for you I am capable of anything. I love you Aya with all my being, with everything I have," I finish speaking and place the ring on the delicate finger of Aya, who is now officially my wife.

- Aya - the pastor gives her a turn to speak.

- Iuri - she speaks my name with smiling, watery eyes - I have never felt so happy as I do today, you are the man of my life, you are the reason I am here today because love is the salvation from all pain, wounds, grudges. He is the answer to all questions and the reason for any happiness. You are my happiness Iuri, you looked after me, fought for me, helped me in the worst moments of my life, loved me and took care of me like no one ever did, gave me the most beautiful family in the world and I gave you my heart - she takes a deep breath trying to control her emotion and picks up the ring on the tray -- I promise to be by your side in any situation, I will never abandon you and I will be your base when you feel that the world is too heavy - she puts the ring on my finger, kisses my hand and the minister speaks again, giving the divine blessings, which are very important, until finally he speaks:

- You may kiss the bride - announcing the end of the ceremony and I promptly knot my wife's waist bringing her into my arms.

- Go to a room - Cristine says breaking our magic moment and we notice.

I face the family and I can only see love and affection in their faces, all the pain we lived through in the past, we left exactly there, in the past. I hold my wife's hand tightly and we leave the church pulling all the few guests present. - My wife," I whisper in Aya's ear as we sit in the back seat of the black car that was parked waiting for us.

- My husband," she says, caressing my face and I take the opportunity to capture her lips again.

It is already night when we leave the church, Heloysie is in the other car with my parents, my mother is extremely fond of her and loves to spoil her granddaughter. We stop at the gates of the mansion that we recently bought, after many greetings the party continues with lots of champagne, laughter and jokes and this time I am the protagonist of everything.

As the host couple, we open the dance floor and then several couples move in circles around us. The best waltz-footers are the Galanis brothers, it's fun to see their family. Today is a very important day for the Stevens family, and I am happy to be able to provide this moment for my parents, who love a celebration. We spent three long hours at the party and now I really want to be alone with her.

It's time for the tradition of throwing the bouquet and a buzz of girls begin to position themselves in the center of the dance floor, my wife gets excited and I help her get up on the small stage.

-Wait," Zeus shouts exasperated and everyone is startled, "let me take my daughter out of there," he takes Helen on his lap.

- Ready, Aya - Cris shouts, Aya turns his back.

- One, two and... - she throws the bouquet up in the air and turns to see who will catch it.

-Got it! - my sister-in-law shouts, holding the bouquet above her head.

I kiss Aya one more time and without any need for goodbyes, we walk away hugging through the garden, Aya didn't want to travel to celebrate our honeymoon, she said that it was no longer just the two of us, and that she would never go out for fun and leave our daughter at home.

So our wedding night will be in the garden, I had a tent put up for us.

- How beautiful - she praises looking around, but doesn't take a step, so I kneel at her feet and remove my heels, freeing her, I know how much she hates wearing them - I love you my love - she declares looking deep into my eyes - I loved our wedding, I loved everything, and thank you for making me the happiest woman in the world!

- I love you - I touch his beautiful face and we sit down in the middle of the cushions.

- I'm a little nervous, this will be our first time being married - he speaks so sweetly.

- Relax - I kiss his hands - I'll make sure you never forget this night.

-Hmm, is that so? - she challenges me with a naughty face.

I don't answer her with words, I come closer and put my face in the hollow of her neck and begin to kiss and nibble the area, she shivers and hugs me.

- You look wonderful in your wedding dress," I whisper close to her mouth, "I really want to love you on top of these pillows," her hands grab my shoulders and she lets out a sly moan.

I pull back a little and look into her eyes, and once again I contemplate love, affection, and.... Oh, boy! Her pupils are already dilated with excitement, this makes the blood in my body pump directly to a single region.

I pull her body to meet mine and plunge my mouth into hers, kissing hungrily, but also with affection, her hands go up to my hair and she pulls, making me moan into her mouth. We separate, I carefully slide the zipper at the back of her dress and step back to contemplate her body covered only by a white lace lingerie that makes me hypnotized for a few minutes.

I will never get used to the beauty of this woman's body, I will never be satisfied, I will always want to devour her.

I love her too much.
