He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. Since she could remember, he always had a firm belief in following one's heart. “Baby girl, I wouldn’t miss this for anything in the world.”
Her mom ushered the pastor forward and he took his place at the front of the gazebo.
“Are we ready?”
Her dad squeezed her again and her mom patted her arm.
“Yes, Father.”
She looked up and smiled. “I’m so glad you came back for me,” she whispered low so only Marshall could hear as the pastor spoke.
“It was always my plan, sweetheart. I never thought you’d marry me let alone be my sole reason to draw air. In autumn maybe we can do the whole big wedding scene if you like.”
She grinned. “I changed my mind. This right here is the perfect wedding. I’ve found I don’t need flowers and lavish dresses. I only need you, Marshall Blackwood.”
“I love you, sweetheart.”
“The rings,” the pastor asked.
Marshall poised a second ring over her middle finger, a solid white gold band, and recited his own vows.
“Juniper, you are my stars, my moon, my solar system. The reason for breathing in the morning and loving when I thought a miserable life of office work would be my sole purpose. You have proven love doesn’t need an eternity to grow when it’s between the right people.”
Her heart swelled to bursting.
Callie rushed forward and took her hand and pressed a ring into her palm. She’d thank her later for always having her back.
“Marshall Blackwood, I thought I wanted perfect and never thought I would actually get what I wished for. I might be your stars and moon, but you are my magic and the one true proof love finds a way despite us getting in the way.”
He laughed and intertwined their fingers until their palms pressed together.
“Through the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood.”
Cheers carried through the air and collided with sunlight to create the most powerful of love spells to cast over them. She could feel it in every pore of her body that they truly were meant to be.
Marshall slipped her hand into his and captured her lips. Before she could catch her breath, he bent at the waist and swung her into his arms to a waiting limo.
Love shined in his eyes.
She flung her arms around his neck, “I love you too, husband.”
“Let’s get to the really good stuff. Our honeymoon.”
She buried her fingers in his hair and pressed her cheek to his shoulder as he tucked them inside the cooled cabin of the limo.
Juniper was near bursting with the joy that filled her.
A new life awaited them and the excitement of that made her smile. And it all started with a wish to save her business.
She got so much more. A hero.Herhero.
