Breathing was always a known concept to everyone. You aren't aware of it until you think about it.

Today was the day, Renrawin Aira spent a lot of time working on his breathing skills.

The twenty six year old boy sighed for tenth time for the day as he tugged on the sleeves of his neatly ironed shirt, "dude, I am not going to get you a new shirt if you tear it. Stop pulling on it." MJ, one of his best man hit his hand stopping him from ruining his shirt.

"I'm just--" Ren shrugged instead of finishing his sentence. He did not know why he was so anxious.

MJ patted his back as the two of them sat on the couch, "it's understandable... I think." MJ laughed making the Aira boy chuckle along with him.

"I don't want to stutter and look like an idiot." Ren chuckled.

"Did you practice your vows? Like on the mirror?" MJ asked, "I should have done that..." Ren stood up again, and started pacing, "why didn't you tell me thirty minutes ago!" Ren groaned.

"That's because we had no idea that the two of you were getting married thirty minutes ago ai sutt!" MJ and Ren turned to see Thyme walked in wearing a suit.

MJ smiled at his friend, "Basil just got promoted to Parsley."

"I was thinking Cilantro." Ren chuckled.

two hours earlier

ren's room

Everything was planned. The date was chosen, the venue was set, the clothes were picked, the choice of food and colour was picked. Everything was set, and ready to go for May Nineteenth.

Which is why Praepailin Paramaanantra was with her finance pacing around the loft freaking out.

"How can they just close their place up? didn't so many people register their place? How are they at loss?" Ren ranted.

Praepailin sighed as she looked at Ren.

Renrawin Aira, was freaking out... he was the one freaking out instead of Praepailin.

There was a huge problem!

Praepailin walked to Ren and made him stop pacing around as she brought him to the couch, "Let's think. Brainstorm. We'll surely come up with something." Praepailin nodded.

SOS

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

renny 4 real

my loft, thirty minutes.

seen by 9 people

Even after the the very intense message the pair sent it took the group of nine almost an hour thirty minutes to gather.

"What?" MJ asked.

Ren sighed, "So..."

"We are getting married right now." Praepailin shouted.

"HUH?" the "𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘨 !!!" group shouted.

Praepailin chuckled, "who can officiate?"

-x-

"Aren't you glad I made you pick all the clothes wayyy before the wedding?" Praepailin asked as she fixed her gown.

Kavin adjusted his glasses, "Prae, you are an idiot."

Praepailin looked mock offended.

"I agree with Ken doll here." Andrew nodded, "who gave you the idea of having a wedding three months before the initial date?"

"It was probably her stupid idea, Ren comes up with wayy better plans." Kavin mocked her exaggerating the word way just like she did.

Praepailin rolled her eyes, "It worked out for us to be honest. The people paid us back, and we hadn't hired any staff for the wedding yet. We are financially stable!!!" she smiled.

"She is acting as if they aren't the richest people in Thailand." Kavin whispered to Andrew.

"Your best friend is weird." Andrew whispered back.

Praepailin looked at her best men or as she liked to say bride's men, or as Andrew liked to say, Bride's peasants, "whenever I do something stupid I'm only his best friend? Huh?" she glared, "maybe it isn't too late for picking Lita, or maybe any of the Nong's." 

"They can't beat this." Andrew smirked looking at himself in a suit.

"They'll look much better than that." Kavin stated.

Andrew looked at Kavin with betrayal and Praepailin enjoyed the situation.

"Do you have your vows?" Andrew asked as he stood leaning against the study table.

Praepailin nodded, "Of course I do!" she showed them the notes app on her phone, but quickly closed it before any of them could read it.

Kavin tried grabbing her phone, "I need to see it and make sure you don't embarrass yourself in front of thousands of people!"

"There are only fifteen people in the wedding." Praepailin reminded, "plus, my phone is locked and I'm not telling you my password."

Andrew quickly grabbed her phone, "It's probably something cheesy and lovesick, when is Ren's birthday?" he asked Kavin.

Andrew quickly typed the response, "nope."

"Try month before date." Kavin said as they tried to keep Praepailin away from her phone.

"Bingo!"

"Okay... this is actually..."

"Good." Kavin completed Andrew's sentence.

"Cheesy. But... good."

-x-

Maybe they should have planned the wedding more efficiently... or maybe they should have moved the wedding to Ren's rooftop.

Spacing was a little too less, but improvising always helped.

The dining table was in the room, and the couches and chairs were placed closer so that the fifteen guests could sit.

Ren was in his turquoise tux, behind him stood MJ and Thyme who wore black tuxes.

Andrew and Kavin were power walking towards Ren's TV stand where the boys stood.

"I'm scared." Praepailin told Andrew's father, who had graciously offered to walk Praepailin down the living room.

Andrew's father, Khun Plai (Khun is Mr), who had grown as a father figure in the girl's life ever since Andrew and Praepailin tried to come up with schemes to get out of the wedding.

Khun Plai chuckled, "it's okay. I was too. Everything turned out fine didn't it?"

Praepailin nodded, "But, you really need to get Andrew checked out. He's a little weird." she joked as she tried to calm her nerves.

"Why is there no officiate?" MJ whispered to Ren.

Ren looked back, "we did the legal paper sighing before you lot came here, this is for the photos." 

Thyme and MJ chuckled.

Praepailin walked over with Andrew's father giving her away, where Ren stood in awe.

She was in her wedding dress. The dress she didn't let Ren see, if he did she would have to sacrifice a chicken... Thank glee for that.

(what the dress looks like)

Praepailin smiled looking at Ren's tux. She was glad he chose the colour. It always brought out his eyes. She was brought out of her trance when she reached the TV stand, standing before the one and only Renrawin Aira. Her everything.

"Good luck." Andrew's dad smiled, "Khop Khuna." Praepailin thanked as she stood next to Ren, and Khun Plai going back to his seat.

Praepailin looked behind the seats and smiled at her mother Roselyn, who was smiling back genuinely. 

There was silence for a couple of seconds, where Praepailin shamelessly checked Ren out, where as Ren was doing the same, but being much more discreet than the former.

"Oh shit, we don't have anyone to narrate." Praepailin chuckled, "dear people!" she shouted making the small bunch chuckled, "welcome to the improvised wedding of Khun Ren- Renrawin Aira and Khun Prae- Praepailin the better Paramaanantra."

Thyme rolled his eyes, "you had to say that, even today." he shook his head chuckling.

"As it was her idea to have the wedding today, and plan it in 2 hours, Prae says her vows before." Ren smirked.

Praepailin shook her head, "No!" she whispered, "I have two! I was going to hear you and pick if I was gonna say the funny one or the one that would make you chuckle and cry!"

Ren laughed, "no. You're going first. Pick what you want right now."

"Ren's nervous, you're gonna have to go first." Thyme shouted.

Ren groaned.

"Whoever is going first, just do it! It's getting boring and my cloud storage is getting over!" Lita shouted.

"FIne." Praepailin mumbled, "I was going to compare your vows... If you said funny things, I would make you cry with my vows, and vice versa..." she chuckled nervously, "I'll mix them both, I guess..." she said as she read from her notes app.

She took a shaky breath, "Well, you know how you always tell me these big speeches, confessing your love or proposing?" she asked making the boy smile and nod, "I went to word tuner and typed something, and the app made it better." she said and the people including Ren laughed, "but I forgot where I saved all the fancy words, so here's my normal thai and my normal speech."

She gingerly reached out for his head which he gave happily, "Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me. Which always makes me think that it is meant to be." Ren instantly knew how this speech was going to go, "How you always know the right thing to say, how your cute little dimple shows up when you're happy, it all makes sense to me."

Ren gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before she let it go, "I love you, Ren. I love everything you do, like how you make a face when you don't understand what's going on, or how you rarely curse, and when you do you're face turns all red. I love how you always make me feel around you. I love your apartment, if that wasn't obvious. Everything about you, I'll love them endlessly." 

"I do two things, it's either I talk way too much, or say nothing at all. So I never thought I would let these little things slip out of my mouth. But if I would ever,  it's you, they add up to. I am so in love with you and all these little things."

Praepailin chuckled, "I love how you won't start functioning without your coffee in the morning, or how sometimes you don't think things through. I am glad you blabber a lot of things in the moment--" she cleared her throat feeling herself tear up, "if it wasn't for that, we probably wouldn't even be standing here... If I wasn't already in love with you, I would definitely be the night you called me Teerak, for the first time. I also love how you always tend to be right, especially when we watch shows, like the one time you knew Korn was anti gifted and I refused to believe you." 

Praepailin wiped the tears before they fell and looked back at Ren, "So, Khun Ren, Even if sometimes you'll not love yourself half as much as I love you, and you'll never treat yourself right, I want you to know that I'm here for you and maybe you'll love yourself like I love you." Ren let out a teary chuckle and mumbled something only Praepailin could hear to which she laughed as well. 

"Gu rak mung, na Ren."

None of the boys would admit it, but they were emotional right now, "good luck beating that." Kavin whispered to Ren.

"As much as I loved your self written vow, I would also like to do the same." he said making the girl who was soon to be his wife laugh, "When I first met you, and teal was the color of your shirt. We were four, and we were at Kavin's house. I don't think four year old Ren expected that I would meet somebody there who I'd be spending the rest of my life with."

"Time." Ren said as he chuckled, "Time, curious time. Isn't it? Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs. If i did, I would work on my actions quicker than I initially did, I think there were definitely clues I didn't see."

Ren's hand constantly played with his phone case, "And isn't it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string which was Tying you to me?"

"The first date we went to, we watched spiderman and we cried our eyes out... and we ate at my favorite spot for dinner. Back when I would like it say things were nice and easier, but wrong. Remember the chaos? All the chaos relating to all our lives. We certainly lived an adventure didn't we? Well, I'm glad to have lived my adventure with you Khun Praepailin."

"The string that pulled me out of all the wrong places. Heck, I even went to France, thinking I wanted something else out of my life, well then, something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire. One single thread of gold that tied me to you."

"Time is really something isn't it?" Ren asked, "wondrous time which gave me the blues and then purple pink skies. And it's cool, because I know you're here to see it with me. Prae, you just said if I wasn't a blabber mouth the two of us wouldn't be here, getting married... Well, I am going to have to disagree with you... Cause the one thing I am the most certain about in my life is that... You, Prae- Praepailin Paramantra and I belong together. I have never been more sure of something in my life." Ren lost all his cool as tears fell from his eyes.

"You are the one constant person in my life that I can forever count on. You are the best parts of my day, and you make me sleep better knowing that I will see you the next day, making me look forward to it."

Praepailin chuckled, "I am so glad I am marrying you today." he told her, "and I will love you. Always and Forever."

"Always and Forever." she recited back to him.

"Gu rak mung, na Prae."

"Well with power vested in me, by me I mean my stomach which desperately needs food... You two are married as SHIT! You may kiss now." Andrew shouted.

Ren and Praepailin chuckled as they leaned into each other, kissing each other.

They pulled away as soon as people around them started whooping.

-x-

MJ was connecting his phone to their bluetooth speaker, Praepailin specifically asked him to play L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole.

The newly weds walked hand in hand with comfier clothes as Kavin announced, "Parents and Other people! for the first time without mockery I present to you" he clapped his hands loudly, "Praepailin and Renrawin Parama- Aira. Yes, Ren will change his name as well." Everyone clapped loudly.

MJ queued in the music, but instead of L-O-V-E, MJ accidently played Careless Whisper by George Michael. 

Praepailin gasped as she glared at MJ who seemed to find it hard to pause the music. 

His phone knew when to hang.

"I will kill him." she told Ren, "me too." Ren nodded.

Praepailin ran to the boy and snatched his phone, "dude, the parents are here, you can't play this!" she glared as she tried to find the song she initially choose.

"It was an accident." MJ seethed.

"Sure, Jan." Andrew nodded as he walked to them.

"You really gotta stop saying sure, jan. It's getting really old." Kavin stated.

Andrew stared at him, "How many times will you betray me in one day?" he asked.

"You asked for it." Lita walked to them, and held Andrew's hand.

Soon enough all the younger people were surrounding them, laughing and making jokes, realising all of them hadn't gathered together in one place in so many years.

It brought Praepailin a sense of comfort that all her friends were here for her.

"L- is for the way you look, at me." the song played as Ren and Praepailin slowly danced around.

The pair seemed to be having a serious conversation, that the others couldn't hear.

But in all reality, "1, 2, 3, 4." Ren counted with the beats, so that they don't fall or miss any steps.

This is what probably happens if a pair of perfectionists married each other.

"5, 6, 7, 8." Praepailin counted.

MJ and Aum who were dancing around were trying to overhear their conversation, and so were Kavin and Kanning.

Thyme and Gorya were busy at the food table, meanwhile Andrew and Lita were on the quest of finding anything that would get them drunk.

All the adults were sitting and having a conversation with one another.

When the song got over, Ren did the expected dramatic thing, and dipped her down, kissing her.

-x-

After having a budget friendly wedding, the pair decided to save up even more by ordering KFC for everyone, so you could see the richest faces of Thailand, munching on KFC and MAMA OK. 

Everyone being over 21, not a lot of people got drunk on different Oishi flavours. 

Praepailin made sure to lay off booze, cause of her previous encounters with them.

They were sitting around talking and catching up, meanwhile Thyme was writing his best man speech, which he hadn't got the time to write prior as he thought he'd still have time.

Thyme brought his champagne glass out, "this was the best speech I could write in fifteen minutes. If anyone laughs, I throw this on their face." he said directly making eye contact with Gorya.

"Why are you looking at me?" Gorya shouted.

"You have a history of humiliating me."

Lita chukled, "you don't have to be worried about Gorya, I'm here. I'm more than enough."

"That's my faen everybody!" Andrew shouted.

Thyme cleared his throat, "So... I am not going to be lazy like..." he looks over at Ren and Praepailin, "and copy or plagiarize their vows... I wrote my own."

"Which is why it won't be any good." Kavin shouted making Kanning hit him to stop.

Thyme glared at Kavin before continuing, "I've known Ren, pretty much all my life. I've known Prae... literally all my life, so I know a couple of things about them..."

"Where do I start? Oh I know! They are the two most reserved people I know, it only took these idiots four years to confess, and another five years to get hitched, just to get married in his loft... I mean, who does that?"

"These guys." Praepailin stated as her and Ren did the this guy meme.

Thyme chuckled along with the other guests, "Prae is a loud mouth, Ren is the silent killer. If you ask me that's the perfect way to kill someone and get caught in an instant."

The pair rolled their eyes as she ate their food.

"Anyways, three months ago I asked Ren... well questioned him."

"Interrogated is the word you're looking for." Ren interrupted. 

Thyme glared, "did I interrupt you during your speech?"

Ren raised his hands in mock surrender.

"Where was I?"

"You interrogated Ren." MJ shouted.

"Just wait and watch how I ruin your wedding." Thyme muttered, "I questioned Ren on how he felt about my sister. Well initially it started off as a joke, but it was way too fun to mess
