“Nothing is going on, darling. Put your detective instincts away.” She patted his chest. “I’ll see you boys in the Gardens.”
“Your bowtie is crooked.” Nathan walked over and straightened it. “Are you ready?” He gripped my shoulders.
"Are you? Your day will be here before you know it.”
“Speaking of,” Jackson spoke. “Have you and Sofia set a date yet?”
“No. Not yet. We’re discussing it.” He smiled.
“It’s time,” Christian said as he glanced at his watch. “Let’s go get you married.” He patted my back.

Istood there with my brothers and cousins and wasn’t nervous. This day almost didn’t happen for two reasons. One was because we weren’t sure if Charlotte was going to make it, and two, she lost her memories of me. I was nothing but a complete stranger to her when she opened her eyes. Now, she would become my wife and the mother of my child. I had nothing to be nervous about because she was here, and I thanked God every day for that.
“You okay?” Jackson asked.
“I’m fucking wonderful, bro.” I smiled.
The music started to play, and the girls slowly walked down the aisle one by one, as did Lily and Ella. Henry looked like such a little man walking down the aisle holding the white satin pillow that held the rings. Ella gave me a small wave as a bright smile crossed her face.
The wedding march began to play, and my heart beat out of my chest because I couldn’t wait to see my bride. Tears filled my eyes the moment I saw her, for she looked more beautiful than ever. As she approached where I stood, I held out my hand, and she took it with a smile on her face.
“You are absolutely gorgeous.” A smile crossed my lips. “Shall we get married?”
“Yes. Let’s do this.” She grinned. “After all, we do have a baby on the way.”
I let out a light chuckle, and the minister said some words before we took our vows.
“Charlotte, we made it.” The corners of my mouth curved upward. “I’ve never loved anyone as I love you. I’ve told you many times, but then the accident happened, and you didn’t remember. So, I reminded you every day, even though you didn’t want to hear it. You are the most beautiful woman in the world, and I will spend the rest of my life telling you how much I love you. Standing up here today in front of all these people confirms that nothing could ever tear us apart. You’re my soulmate for life, and I couldn’t be happier. I love you, babe, and making you happy is my only priority in life. If you’re sad, I will take your sadness away. If you’re stressed, I will help ease it. If you need help, I’m there in a flash. I will do everything and anything for you for the rest of our lives.” Tears filled my eyes.
She took in a deep breath as a tear fell from her cheek.
“Conner, when I woke up in that hospital, you were nothing but a stranger to me. I could have just walked away, but somehow, I knew I could trust you. You’ve helped me in so many ways, and I will spend the rest of my life thanking you for that. Even though I couldn’t remember, I was shown that I loved you more than life before the accident. And the best part of not remembering was that I got to fall in love with you all over again. As soulmates, we’re bound by an unbreakable string. I love you with all my heart and soul and will love you for the rest of our lives. You’re my person, and I thank you for the love, support, and happiness you give me every single day.
I brought my hand up and wiped away her tears before wiping mine.
“It’s time for the exchanging of the rings,” the minister spoke. “Conner, repeat after me. I, Conner, take Charlotte to be my lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold, love, honor, cherish, and obey—”
“Wait? What? Obey?”
“Just go with it, babe.” Charlotte grinned.
“Why not. I already do anyway,” I said as everyone laughed.
I slipped the ring on her finger and pressed my lips against it. After Charlotte placed the ring on my finger, the minister pronounced us husband and wife.
“You may kiss your bride, Conner.” He smiled.
“I’ve been waiting all damn day to do this.”
Everyone shouted and clapped with happiness as our lips met for the first time as husband and wife.
After everyone left the Gardens and went inside to the Crystal Ballroom for appetizers and drinks, the wedding photos began.
“Welcome to the marriage club, cousin.” Simon patted my back.
“Thanks, Simon.”
