“You took my breath away when I saw you walk down the aisle, you still do. You’ll always take my breath away by your presence alone.”
“And I’ll never stop loving you with all my heart.”
“Good.”
We stroll to the deck with the sun shining on us as we kiss, overlooking the lake, black and white swans passing us by.
Damien grabs my hand, and we step inside the elegant tent, it’s the perfect balance between simplicity and luxury. Every detail is pure perfection, with the white pillar candles standing on every table with white blooming roses decorating them. Big majestic chandeliers hang on the ceiling transforming this place and a ballroom with elegant ivory tulle dressing the chairs. I find Sarah mouthing a “wow,” and she beams. Our mothers grin after seeing our full-of-awe expression. They deserve every compliment. I would never have come close to this result.
“It’s everything I imagined, but even better. Thank you.”
“Only the best for you two, like always.”
Damien and I dance our first dance as husband and wife to “Endless Love,” which we find both rather suitable, in more ways than one. Our love feels like an endless one to us as we move to the rhythm of the song, heart to heart. The song ends, but neither of us is ready to separate, and we continue dancing.
My father taps Damien on his shoulder and takes his place. Soon, my dad and I find a tempo that suits us both as we sway on the dance floor. There are no words needed. His eyes tell me everything and more. It’s a mix of nostalgia and unconditional love.
“I love you.”
“I love you too, Daddy. You’re the best.”
Andrew follows and greets me with audible pride in his voice
“Will my daughter-in-law grant me this dance?”
“With pleasure. It’s only thanks to you that Damien is such a skilled dancer.”
“Don’t let Rebecca hear you,” he says, and we chuckle.
I have danced with both my father and my father-in-law before, but it would be the first dance with Quinn, and I’m a little nervous. But when his arms come around me, I relax. And like with everything else he does, he’s a fantastic dancer.
“Until today, I had my concerns, but you two erased them with the way you look at each other, and those beautiful words you both said.” His eyes shine with unconditional love, it humbles me. “I gave Damien my blessing, Bria.”
I have no idea what he’s talking about, and confusion must be written all over my expression.
“He called me and asked for my permission. His gesture took me aback, did something, and I admitted he isn’t as bad as I wanted to believe, even though he’s taking my baby girl away from me. Today he received my blessing.”
“Thank you, it means everything.”
“Although I enjoy dancing with you, others are waiting.”
Quinn kisses my forehead, and then I dance with my brother.
“In case I didn’t tell you, you look breathtaking. I’m sure I have the most beautiful sister in the world. I’m still the better looking one, though.” I lift my gaze to him as a wide grin plasters on his face.
“You’re awful.”
“I can’t believe this happened. That you two made it.”
He sways me around, and when we’re face to face, I say, “There’s hope for everyone, Filip, if you’re willing to fight for it. What about you and Chloe?”
“You talked last night. I’m sure you know more than I do.”
His eyes narrow at me, and as he leans in, interest transforming his face, I whisper, “I think she’ll take you back. Try harder.”
His perfectly arched eyebrows knit together.
“What makes you so sure?”
