“Nothing. You look beautiful.” I whispered, really wishing she could see herself.
“I know. I feel beautiful, therefore I look beautiful.” She teased.
“Alright, who’s ready to get this show on the road?” Jefferson exclaimed.
“Yes, I’m ready. Is everyone else?” I asked the group.
“Wait! You forgot your garter! Here, lift your dress and let me get it on.” Baylee ordered as she squatted down at my feet.
I bunched my dress in my hands and lifted it, watching as Baylee slipped the little slip of frilly lace and fabric over my boots and up my thigh. Once done, she gave my outer thigh a pat and stood with a nod. “Let’s get this done. I can’t wait to see Kettle’s face when he sees you!”

KETTLE
“Holy Shit,” Sebastian growled from beside me.
My heart was slow and steady as I watched Baylee come down the dock towards us.
Then came Viddy and I tensed.
She walked sure and steady, cane-less. Once she reached the edge of the dock, she stepped up lightly and walked smooth and steady down the dock towards us.
Trance, who was also at my side, visibly relaxed, as did I, once she made it to Baylee’s side.
“Jesus Christ,” Trance hissed.
Trance had it bad. Although, I was just as worried as he was, despite Viddy having practiced it no less than a hundred times.
We decided against having any ring bearers or flower girls because of having the wedding on the dock itself. We didn’t want to have to go fish little children out of the lake, so the next one out was Adeline.
And what a fucking sight she was.
She was walking out on the arms of Silas and Dixie. She’d bonded with them both over time, and told us she couldn’t decide who to ask, so she asked them both, and they had both readily agreed.
Then, as she got close enough, I could see the plunging neckline, and about fell off the goddamn dock.
“Goddamn.” I said shaking my head. Then a smile overtook my mouth as she walked down the dock towards me. She was so fucking beautiful it made my heart hurt.
Once she got to the designated spot, Reverend Spano began.
“Who gives this woman’s hand in marriage?” He asked.
“I do.” Dixie and Silas said at the same time.
They both let her go with kisses on her cheek, releasing her to my waiting hand.
Once she was close to me, I whispered to her, “You look beautiful.”
Although I might have said it to her boobs and not her face, but who could blame a man? They were just right there for the world to see.
She giggled and smacked my chest before we both turned to Reverend Spano.
It was when we’d said our vows and Reverend Spano was wrapping up the ceremony that Adeline stole my heart for the second time.
“Tiago?” She whispered quietly, trying not to interrupt Reverend Spano’s words of wisdom.
I turned to her, looking deep into her eyes. “Yeah, baby?”
