I nodded. “I’d appreciate that.”
Harrison called over a couple of his workers, and we had the cake positioned safely on the table in no time. I circled the table, making sure nothing was jostled in the move.
Mark threw an arm around me on my last rotation. “Relax. It’s perfect.”
I tapped a finger on my chin. “Hopefully, it tastes good.”
He kissed my temple. “There’s more to a wedding than a cake, you know.”
I smiled, turning in his arms to face him. “Are you sure about that?”
“There are the flowers.” Mark nodded to the table centerpieces and the archway of flowers where the guests entered the room. “The tables, chairs, linens, and don’t forget the pictures. The memories are what’s important.”
I wondered if he was thinking about our wedding. “You’re right. The cake is just one small part.”
Gia came over. “Your cake is beautiful.”
Butterflies swirled in my stomach. “I hope Savannah and Ethan think so.”
“No doubt they will. It’s gorgeous.”
I let Gia’s praise wash over me. Her business was weddings, and if she said the cake was good, I believed her. “Do you need help with anything?”
Gia shook her head. “You get to the church so you can represent us. Lily and Abby are already there.”
There were flowers at the church that Lily had set up last night. And Abby would be documenting the wedding party getting ready behind the scenes.
“I can do that.”
Gia was the sole wedding planner, but I knew she wanted to add more. If the business expanded as she hoped, she wouldn’t be able to handle everything herself.
Gia glanced from me to Mark. “I’ll be there soon to get things moving.”
I hugged Gia. “It’s going to be great.”
“We’ll be delivering happily ever afters for years to come,” Gia said with a confident smile.
If she was nervous or stressed, it didn’t show. I admired her confidence.
At the church, guests were ushered to their seats. I left Mark to find a spot for us and made my way to the suites on the second floor reserved for the bridal party.
In the groom’s room, the door was open. Lily wore a pale pink dress and stood with her assistant, who held a tray of white rose boutonnières.
Abby was already behind her camera, documenting everything. Her movements were quiet and unobtrusive.
Ethan’s wedding party included Max as his best man, Alex, Savannah’s brother, Easton, the owner of ReSails, and a couple of family members I hadn’t met yet. His soon-to-be stepson, Miles, looked adorable in a tailored tux.
Ethan took one of the boutonnières from Lily’s hands and crouched down in front of Miles. “You ready for this?”
Miles nodded solemnly. “You’re going to be my daddy.”
My eyes teared up at his declaration. His father had died in a car accident before he was born. Ethan was the only father he’d ever known.
Ethan took a few seconds before he took a deep breath and responded. “That’s right.”
He pinned the flower on his lapel. “It’s a big responsibility.”
“I know.”
