“But we don’t have someone to perform the ceremony,” she said.
He nodded to the bar, “Sure we do,” he said. He smiled and nodded to the front door again, “Let’s go,” he ordered.
“I take it that this is part of the surprise,” she said.
“Yep,” he said. “I want to marry you today.”
“I’ve already told you that I’ll marry you any day you want, Ryker. Are you sure?” she asked.
“I’m surer about this than anything else I’ve ever been sure of. So, how about it?” he asked.
“Yes,” she agreed. “Let’s get married. Can I call my mom to have her and Iris come over?” she asked.
“Will you just come into the bar with me already?” he asked. He got out of the truck and rounded to her side, helping her to hop down. Ryker wrapped her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. “Ready?” he asked, holding his hand out to her.
“Ready,” she agreed. He led her into the front of the bar, and she gasped when she saw everyone standing around the newly decorated barroom, turned restaurant. It was perfect. All of the guys were standing there, some had even brought their ol’ladies and in the center of the room, her mother stood with Iris.
“Everyone’s here,” she whispered to him. “But who will marry us?” she asked.
“Me,” Taz said from behind the bar. “I got ordained online and if you’re okay with it, I’d like to marry you both. I mean, I did introduce the two of you.”
Harlow giggled, “You sure did. I mean, who else was going to tell Ryker that I was here for a job interview?” she teased.
“It’s technically true,” Taz defended.
“I’d love for you to marry us, Taz,” Harlow assured. “Thank you.”
“I brought you something to wear,” her mother said. She took the dress bag that one of the guys handed to her. “I picked it up when Ryker told me that he was going to surprise you here today.”
“Mama,” Harlow sobbed. “Thank you for thinking of this.”
“It can be your something new,” her mom said.
“I’ve got something you can borrow,” Ace said, stepping from the crowd. He held out a set of keys. “It’s the keys to my beach house on the coast. I’d love for you two to use it for your honeymoon,” he said.
“That’s so sweet of you, Ace,” Harlow said. She went up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek and he nodded, stepping back into the crowd of bikers.
“I have your something blue,” Taz said. He rounded the bar and handed her another set of keys. “The guys and I kind of hijacked your house while you and Ryker were running your errands today. We all chipped in and had some new furniture delivered to your place. You and Ryker have a new master bedroom suite and family room furniture. We added some blue throw pillows to both rooms, to give you your something blue. We also redid Iris’ room but she insisted on all pink. We wanted you all to have the home you deserve, and I know you really hated the idea of Ryker moving his sofa over to your house.”
She giggled, “I did,” she admitted.
“I got new room, Mommy,” Iris said.
“I can’t wait to see it, honey,” Harlow said.
Ryker stepped forward and knelt down in front of her daughter. “Is it okay with you if I marry your Mommy?” he asked. Her toddler looked at him, sucking on her thumb, and gently nodded her head. Harlow wasn’t sure if Iris could understand what he was asking her, but she hoped that she did. Ryker picked up Iris and kissed her chubby cheek.
“Well, I take that as the final sign that we should get hitched, honey. You want to get changed so that we can get this show on the road?” he asked.
“I’d love to,” she agreed. “Will you help me, Mama?” she asked. Her mother nodded and followed her back to Ryker’s office. She couldn’t believe that Ryker had planned all of this, but she was so happy about her surprise. She couldn’t think of a better day to marry the man of her dreams.
