Description
I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in

On a white veil occasion

Oh great. After thinking it over, I don't think I can do this. The church is just right in front of me! But why can't I move my legs?! It's just so damn hard. . . Who do I really love anyways? Him or Ezio?

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I sigh. C'mon Sarah you didn't waste at least twenty thousand pesos just to miss your chance at love!
If only Danny would tell me what to do in a situation like this. . .
And besides if Cesare is going to marry that girl . . . he's never going to be happy.

I sneak in and see your friends

And her snotty little family

All dressed in pastel

Knowing that I definitely can't go through the main entrance due to the family bodyguards, I go around sneakily to an alley where I saw the entrance to the church.
Without any hesitation I walked in casually and pretended no one saw me.

I stood behind one coloumn and saw that girl's family.
At first they mentioned about the wedding in Paris but then they changed it back to Italy for the romance.
Gosh, what an indecisive family they were.

But my thoughts quickly changed upon seeing Leonardo and Micheletto. Boy they sure do look good in their suits and ties.

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

A door was slightly ajar from across the place I hid.
Inside I could see Charlotte yelling at her cousin for stepping on her gown's hem.
Is it just me or does her gown look like my sister's wedding cake?
Oh for the love of fashion! I thought she was supposed to be good at this!

This is surely not

What you thought it would be

And I lose myself in a daydream

Where I stand and say:

I frown when I saw Cesare by the altar. He too was frowning because I knew he was forced to do this. Damn family contract. Damn family business.
I turned away for a moment and leaned against the stone coloumn behind me and thought,

"Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

When they said "speak now""

I blinked when I saw the guests and families sitting on their respectful benches. Good thing I was wearing my old prom gown which I changed into a cocktail dress.

I took a seat just behind Gioffre who immediately turned to look at me in shock. Understanding why I was here, Cesare's little brother looked at the altar again.

Fun gestures are exchanged

And the organ starts to play

A song that sounds like a death march

I cringed the moment that age old thing played. Selected people walked down the aisle and I smiled at them.
Suddenly, some of the bodyguards noticed me and were now approaching me.
I got out of my seat and hurried to hide behind one of the thick velvet curtains in the confession box.

And I am hiding in the curtains

It seems that I was uninvited

By your lovely bride-to-be

Sighing in relief, I sat on the floor of the box, watching the whole scene unveil from my little place.

She floats down the aisle

Like a pageant queen

But I know you wish it was me

You wish it was me (Don't cha?)

I noticed the expression on Cesare's face when he saw his bride walking down the aisle.
There was relief of some sort but then it changed back into depression.
Was he thinking about something? I'm not sure.
I clenched my fist tightly when Charlotte arrived at the altar safely then I mumbled,

"Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

When they say "speak now""

I've never seen Cesare this down before.
He and his darling were now facing the priest who is by the way Cesare's uncle and a sweet old man.
At least he gave me enough support to come here.

Then abruptly,

I hear the preacher say

"Speak now or forever hold your peace"

Oh God can I really do this?

There's the silence, there's my last chance

I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me

I stumbled out of the box in sheer embarrassment and everyone turned their attention to me.Even Cesare and Charlotte were looking at my direction,I got up from the floor and fixed my dress.

Everyone in the church, including the media who was supposed to film this as the most extravagant wedding ever turned their cameras towards me.

Horrified looks from

Everyone in the room

But I'm only looking at you.

But I ignored all of them and I looked at Cesare directly.I came up to them, in front of the huge altar.Ferdinand, Edward and the rest of Cesare's friends were whispering about a bet, while Father Juan smiled and nodded at me. I smiled back and nodded as well.

Taking a deep breath, I looked into Cesare's dark brown eyes and said,

"I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion"

"What are you doing here you little pest?!" Charlotte hissed at me.I flinched a bit at her voice but then Cesare held her arm and told her to let me finish.

My whole body shuddered. I suppressed my tears and continued.

"But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl."

Everyone gasped at my last statement and I couldn't help but chuckle.I knew this was useless.

"Please Cesare. . .

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out"

And they said, "speak now"

"Cesare I was wrong. I have been wrong all the time, it had always been you since I first met you! You don't need to do this Cesare!" I said.
"Please . . . I don't want to repeat the same mistake. . . as I did to Danny."

"Give me that old man!" Charlotte said curtly and grabbed the marriage contract from Father Juan. She grabbed a pen from her little brother and signed her name.

"Forget the damn vows! Just sign here Cesare!"

Cesare stared at the paper and gradually took it from her.

As I got ready to be arrested by the goons, I heard a ripping sound.

I glanced back up to see Cesare ripping the marriage contract to pieces.

"Cesare!" Charlotte screamed. "What are you doing l'amour?!"
Cesare gazed over to the frantic woman beside him.

"I do not wish to marry someone I do not love. I don't care if my family crumbles just because of her." he pointed at me.

I huffed a bit, pointing was very rude. Cesare smiled and climbed down the steps.

"As long as I am with her, my life is complete."

He placed a hand on my cheek and leaned down to plant a chaste kiss on my lips.
The crowd roared, both in happiness and shock.

Cesare stepped back and said,

"Let's run away now

I'll meet you when

I'm out of my tux at the back door"

I nodded and I turned away with a big smile on my face. Gioffre came over and hugged me tightly."I'm so glad you and Cesare . . . then does this mean I'm looking at my future sister-in-law?" he said slyly.

I laughed. "Sure if you're willing to have adobo and pancit for lunch at our place!"
We both hurried out, ignoring the cries of a sad Charlotte and in front of the church I saw Cesare now in his signature crisp white top, black pants and Italian shoes.

He drove his favorite Ferrari California and Gioffre told me to go or else Charlotte was going to rip my head off.

"Well that's reassuring" I said and waved goodbye to her.I hurried down the stairs and into Cesare's car.He leaned down to press his forehead against mines and his nose brushed my nose lightly.

"Baby, I didn't say my vows

So glad you were around when they said

"Speak now""

I smiled and we drove off into the Italian sunset.
