My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 209

<208> Wedding Preparations

* * *

For the past few days, I’ve spent my spare moments deep in thought, contemplating the wedding I hadn’t even considered while living my busy life.

When Sarang came into our lives at twenty, I just felt sorry for our immature actions without thinking about those around us. Plus, there was a bit of a family situation where my older brothers hadn’t gotten married yet.

And after Junghoo *hyung* [older brother or male friend] got married, it was hard to find time due to graduation, getting a job, and raising children. Just when I was getting used to work and had some free time, Heesung *hyung* got married, and then Soman was born.

A wedding wasn’t something you could just do if you had enough money. You needed a lot of help from your family for it, and most of all, you needed time.

But we, at some point, just stopped considering it altogether. Before, we just thought we’d do it later when we had time. We had already registered our marriage anyway.

We were working, raising two kids, and spending enjoyable family time on weekends, so the thought of a wedding didn’t have a chance to enter our minds.

It just suddenly occurred to me while looking at photos in bed this time.

“—So, would it be okay to do it like that?”

“—If you guys are okay with it, it doesn’t matter. Heena is very busy, so it would be very tiring for her.”

“Okay. Then I’ll talk to her and call you back.”

I took a break from working at home and told my mom about my thoughts on the wedding. Fortunately, Mom was positive about my idea.

“—By the way. When are you bringing Soman over?”

“Uh… should we visit this weekend?”

“—Definitely come. Bring Sarang too.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

To have a big wedding like others, we would have to sacrifice too much for just that one thing. First of all, even if everything else was okay, Heena would have a hard time.

She’s already busy with work, and to spend all her free time from weekdays to weekends just on the wedding…

Of course, if Heena was willing to bear all that and wanted to have a grand wedding with the blessings of many people, I would help her as much as possible.

But Heena wouldn’t want that.

It’s already been over 10 years since I started dating Heena and got married. You can know the depth of ten fathoms of water, but not the heart of one man, but now I know Heena’s heart like the back of my hand.

Honestly, it’s hard not to know. She’s always been so consistent and simple when it comes to me.

That’s why I didn’t think I needed to worry too much about our wedding. If it’s hard to do it big, we can just do it small.

After all, Heena probably only wants two things for the wedding: to have me and the kids by her side, and to have our wedding blessed by our loving family and friends.

If those two things are met, she won’t care about anything else.

–––

“Yeah! I like that too. Then let’s start planning the schedule now~”

Heena actively agreed with my idea of having a small ceremony with just family and close friends, focusing on taking pictures.

I think Heena used to have some romantic ideas about weddings, but now it felt like she was treating it as just one of the events.

Not like, ‘I really want to do it!’ but more like, ‘That sounds fun~’

“It’s not urgent, and there’s no need to pick an auspicious day, so I think we can prepare leisurely.”

“Okay. But how about putting Soman and Sarang in tuxedos and dresses? It would be so cute~”

“Wait. Soman in a tuxedo? Aren’t you afraid of having a heart attack from seeing that?”

“Hehehe, right? Sarang in a dress… no, a *hanbok* [traditional Korean dress] would be pretty too…”

“Let’s do the ceremony in a dress and take pictures in *hanbok* at the studio later. Since it’s small-scale anyway, there’s no place to spend money, so we should do everything we want to do.”

“Then, then! I have to put all the clothes I want to put on the kids! What should I do! I’m so excited!”

She seemed even more excited about taking pictures of the kids than taking our pictures. I can fully understand that feeling though.

“What are you going to draw next?”

“I’m going to draw a crane.”

“Let’s draw together with your sister~”

I watched Sarang and Soman drawing happily at the living room table. Those two in tuxedos and dresses, and elegant *hanboks*.

Wow, that’s really crazy, isn’t it? Aren’t they going to get kidnapped because they’re too cute?

Just imagining it for a moment made me have such silly thoughts. Our kids are cute even when they’re just standing still, but how pretty would they be if they dressed up like that?

And not just the kids.

“I really want to see you in a tuxedo too… Can you give me a princess carry?”

“Of course. I can even do squats with you.”

“Really~?”

Our Heena, whose beauty is breaking records every day, how pretty would she be? I couldn’t even imagine Heena. She’s already unbelievably pretty now, but is it possible for her to become even prettier?

By the way, Heena’s touch is getting closer and closer.

Swoosh

“…Do you want to?”

“Huh?”

Heena’s hand was slowly moving down from my cheek to my collarbone, and then to my thigh, showing a suggestive touch.

We’re talking about our once-in-a-lifetime wedding right now; wouldn’t it be a bit much to suddenly shift the atmosphere in that direction?

But Heena didn’t stop her hand, no matter what my reaction was. She just checked once in a while to see if the kids were looking this way.

“You know…”

“Yeah.”

“I imagined you in a tuxedo… I can’t stand it.”

“But you know you have to hold back, right?”

Today is a weekday, I have to go to work tomorrow, and you know Sarang and Soman are drawing right in front of us, right?

Isn’t this once-in-a-lifetime event called a wedding just manifesting as a libido-enhancing effect right now?!

Heena was definitely very calm until I brought up this story. But now, Heena had the eyes of a lion with prey right in front of her.

“Haa…”

Even breathing heavily.

No, what is it about me in a tuxedo that makes Heena like this in an instant? Well, if I picture Heena in a dress, I might feel a little like that too.

Let’s imagine it.

If Heena was wearing a pure white dress, smiling at me, and gently lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands.

Ah.

I want to?

–––

The day I brought up the story to Heena, we ended up not being able to continue talking about the wedding any further because we couldn’t overcome our desires. We briefly went into the bathroom together and had a good time.

Anyway, after that day, we started preparing slowly, one by one.

“Yeah~ you guys should have a ceremony too. But is it okay to do it so small?”

“To be honest, I feel like it would be okay to just take pictures at the studio, but it’s a bit much to do *just* that.”

“What do you mean just pictures? You have to have a ceremony. By the way, you’re going to put the kids in *hanboks* too?”

First, I had already told my mom in advance, so I told my mother-in-law and father-in-law as well. They didn’t object to our small wedding plan either.

Basically, it was hard to do a big wedding because Heena was too busy, and we didn’t want to sacrifice all our weekends for several months to prepare for it.

Next, we tried to estimate the number of guests who would come to the wedding. Our families would probably all come, but we were thinking of ‘sincerely’ telling our relatives that they didn’t have to come if it was too difficult for them.

Even though it’s a celebratory event, it’s cumbersome and tiring to come to these things on the weekends.

Actually, I had a rough idea of who would come and who wouldn’t among the relatives. If I added the number of friends who would probably all come…

“It’ll probably be around 50 people, right?”

“Yeah. Wouldn’t it be that much only if all our friends come?”

“Well, there’s no need to force them to attend if they’re busy. I have to tell them clearly that it’s okay if it’s too hard for them to come.”

I was thinking of excluding friends who I only contacted occasionally and only inviting the guys I’ve been hanging out with since high school. I would tell the other kids about it, but tell them that attendance and congratulatory money are both optional.

Anyway, all the people who I knew shallowly and who were likely to come had already come to Junghoo *hyung’s* wedding and given congratulatory money back then.

Later, I would return that much if those friends had a celebratory event, but it would be a bit burdensome to pay twice like this since I don’t know when that schedule will be.

This congratulatory money culture is really…

Anyway, for that reason, the kids I’ll invite are Heena’s friends, including Ria, and those guys who have been with me since high school. And two or three college juniors… I wonder if Yoojun will come if I invite him. He lives in Busan, so it’s very far.

This was a problem that I had to tell him in advance and then ask about his schedule again later, so I skipped it for now.

Next is the venue, the order of the ceremony, the buffet food, and the studio, dress, and makeup, right? I had to look into each company one by one. But I wasn’t pressed for time.

“Are we doing this too much as we please? Why are we so relaxed?”

“It’s because we’re looking at it for a long time now~ It’ll be quite busy a month or two before the date.”

“I guess so?”

The date of the ceremony was at least half a year away, and even then, it was a small wedding, so there wasn’t much to think about from now on. Besides, I was more like, ‘We’ll do it as is if people can’t come,’ so that’s why.

In the first place, I set the maximum number of people at 50. Besides, Rin *nuna* [older sister or female friend] said she would look into the venue a bit, so I was waiting for that.

Then what can we do right now, I wondered.

“Honey, let’s go see clothes this weekend.”

“Clothes? Studio, dress, and makeup? Already?”

“Not that~ the ones Sarang and Soman will wear. The company probably won’t have clothes for the kids. Even if they do, the fit might not be good.”

“Ah, that’s right. It would be better to look into the kids’ clothes separately.”

“Right?”

According to Heena’s opinion, we decided to go see the kids’ clothes.

Are our kids going to be too cute and die from cuteness?
