I Hope You Will Never Regret

On Friday afternoon, the wedding guests started to arrive at His Goodness Resort. They came early to attend the rehearsal dinner and were amazed by the resort’s beauty.

His Goodness Resort didn’t accept bookings during this period. However, five couples were on their honeymoons, and Mr Martins extended the invitation to them.

The rehearsal dinner was going to be held in the restaurant at 6 pm. It was lavishly decorated. Avery had invited everyone who had touched her life.

At 5:45, the guests were already seated in the restaurant in their suits and stunning dresses. Avery was wearing a custom-made knee-high white dress, and Xavier was wearing a navy blue custom-made suit.

At that moment, Chef Ambrose and the waiters started serving the guests. After dinner, Mr Martins stood up and said, “On behalf of the Martins family, it’s a pleasure to welcome the Taylor family, relatives, and friends to celebrate Xavier and Avery’s wedding tomorrow.

I would like to thank Bridgette for the role she played in Avery’s upbringing. She dropped everything and volunteered to be my daughter’s companion.

I will be forever grateful for everything you have done in shaping my daughter to be what she is today.

Also, I would like to thank my precious aunt, Rose King, and her husband, Bruce King, the Evans family, the Shelton family, the Hayes family, the Cele family, and the Stone family for the love they deposited into my daughter’s life.

I thank the Lord for blessing me with you, Sweetheart. You are my precious gift from the Lord. You have brought nothing but joy to my life. You are so beautiful inside and out.

My heart swelled with pride for what you have become. I love you so much, my dearest daughter. I will miss your cooking and your plating.

Uncle Noah, John, and Caroline thank you for raising my son-in-law to be such an outstanding young man.

Son, thank you for loving my daughter. May your love for each other grow deeper each day. Don’t take each other for granted, respect and love each other, and make time for each other.

Your marriage will be stronger when you put each other first in whatever you do. I thank the Lord for allowing you to find each other.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Communication is the key to a healthy marriage. When you have disagreements, try to talk things out. It’s a pleasure to welcome you, Son, to the Martins family. I love you both.”

Then he raised his glass and toasted the couple. He walked to his daughter and hugged her tightly. Avery smiled with tears in her eyes. He also hugged his outstanding son-in-law, beaming with joy.

Mr Taylor senior stood up and said, “I would like to thank my in-laws for raising my granddaughter in love to be such a wonderful, gorgeous, and intelligent young lady.

When my granddaughter in love, was five years old, I nearly arranged a marriage between her and my precious grandson. I stopped myself because I promised my precious grandson that I would never interfere in his private life.

I thank the Lord for making my wish come true. Now, I have something to tell my late wife when I go to heaven. My precious grandson, when he was ten years old, helped an overseas company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The company paid him billions of dollars, and he started the Restoration Group from scratch without the help of the Taylor family. He has never disappointed me and his parents, and he is a man of integrity.

My precious grandson, you are my pride and joy. When my son, John, told me that a young lady had called my precious grandson ‘husband’, I was beside myself with excitement.

Before I met her, she sent me a gift. My precious granddaughter-in-love, I love you more. I love your generosity, your kindness, and your culinary skills.

One Sunday, Xavier took her home for me to take a look. She asked her mother-in-law to rest, and she took over cooking. Oh, my. I am still salivating at that delicious food.

My granddaughter in love, you have brought joy and happiness to the Taylor family. I thank the Lord for blessing me with a long life to see His goodness. You are special to me, and only you will be my granddaughter in love.

As you are starting your journey tomorrow, may the good Lord bless you with many years of happiness. I love you both from the bottom of my heart.” Then he kissed his granddaughter in love on both cheeks and hugged his precious son tightly.

Then it was the best man’s turn. Chase smiled broadly and said, “I love you, Xavier, as my brother. I am so happy for you for finding favour from the Lord. I heard the pastor say, ‘Who finds a wife finds a good thing’.

You really find a good thing in my sister-in-law, Avery. She is kind and generous. I remember one time Xavier posted his dinner in our group chat. It was mouth-watering. Fortunately, I was still in hospital.

I called Xavier and I told him that I was hungry. He invited me to their apartment and dished for me. The food was lip-smacking, and I asked Xavier to bring me a lunchbox when he dropped my sister-in-law at the hospital, but he refused.

He is so stingy, but I am glad that my sister-in-law and I are working in the same hospital. I will visit her during lunchtime and eat her lunch.” Then he toasted the couple and sat down. The guests laughed out loud and clapped their hands.

The Maid of honour, Gabriella, flashed her best friend a beautiful smile and said, “I met Avery at Trinity Leadership Academy when I was nine years old, and she was five years old.

You know the Lord works in mysterious ways. After she won the Mathematics Olympiad competition, she was promoted to Grade 3. She was supposed to be in Grade 3A class, but she chose my class, and we became best friends.

One day, my family told me that after the June holidays, I would be transferred to a public school because my father had been retrenched. Avery promised that she would speak to her father.

The following day, the principal called my parents and told them that Mr Martins had offered me a scholarship. My parents went to the Martins Group to thank Mr Martins. The Lord opened the door for my family and my father was offered a job.

When the Editor-in-Chief position became vacant, my boss indicated that whoever would interview my brother-in-law would get the position. Guess what I got the job because I was Avery’s friend.

Avery, thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. Meeting you was fate. You have a heart of gold. I thank the Lord for ordering your steps and blessing you with my brother-in-law. You are such a beautiful soul.”

Then she raised her glass and said, “To Xavier and Avery, may you live happily ever after.” The guests raised their glasses and toasted a couple.

At the old Martins mansion, Lily had invited her friends to celebrate Jamie’s thirty-sixth birthday. She bought expensive wines, ciders, and whiskey for the joyous occasion. Even Aunt Elizabeth had a glass of wine in her hand, drinking slowly.

When the party was in full swing, Elizabeth handed the car keys to her lover as a birthday gift. Jamie took the car keys with both hands. Elizabeth led him outside. Standing in the parking lot was the luxurious Audi S8.

Jamie was over the moon that he went down on one knee and proposed to Elizabeth with an exquisite and delicate diamond engagement ring. Jamie had ordered Lily to buy an engagement ring for him because he allowed her to stay in the mansion.

Elizabeth was so happy that she cried. She couldn’t wait to be Jamie’s wife. Unbeknownst to her, it was just a scam to divide her assets. Lily didn’t tell Jamie that the mansion was out of his reach.
