Chapter 237
For some reason, Deborah and Jayden felt like kids taking an oral exam. David suddenly became very serious. Tablet in hand, he began grilling them about their preferences–everything from their favorite flowers, colors, flavors, and scents to preferred fabrics and textures.
“And the final question: sweet, bitter, or spicy?” David asked, looking up at the couple.
“Uh… sweet,” Jayden answered hesitantly, feeling the question was a bit ambiguous.
“Citrus bitter,” Deborah said thoughtfully.
“Citrus?” Jayden repeated, looking into her eyes.
“Yes, why?” she asked as they both started laughing.
“Oh, never mind. So, what’s the purpose of this interrogation?”
“Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing: what’s the point of these questions?”
“They’re to help me get to know you better,” David explained, finishing his notes on his tablet. “And even though it might seem a bit silly, these are important questions for me because they’re a good foundation for making decisions and choices.”
“Like what?” Eric asked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“For example, with the fabrics, I can make a special request to the tailor and seamstress regarding your clothes. My brides and grooms always wear custom–made, personalized outfits.”
“Oh…” the young couple responded.
“Though this time, it will be even more special because I need to make a custom–tailored cotton tuxedo for this handsome guy, but of course, it has to look impeccable, just like his dad’s,” he said, glancing at James playing with his hands. “And it’ll definitely be a challenge for my career because he’s growing so fast.”
“What does that mean?” Samantha asked, a bit concerned.
“I’ll leave James’s outfit for last and make it a week before the big event because I’m not going to make him a suit now that won’t fit in a few months.”
“That sounds good because lately, we’ve been buying him clothes for a year older so they fit reasonably well,” Eric commented.
“James is going to be a tall young man,” Samantha said, looking fondly at her grandson.
“Now let’s move on to other questions,” David said as he got comfortable in his seat. “Have you thought about, discussed, or have any ideas about where you’d like to hold the religious wedding, or would you like to hear some suggestions?”
“Actually, no…” Jayden began.
“I do have a place in mind,” Deborah said, surprising her partner. “I’d like the ceremony to be held at the main cathedral because that place was special to my mom.”
“The one downtown?” David asked, sounding a bit thoughtful.
