He held it up, and it read:I’m named after my Uncle Hugh!
“Oh my gosh. Two Hughs, huh?” Georgia clapped her hands together. “That’s amazing.”
“He’s a pretty cool dude to be named after,” Wolf said with a nod. “And Dylan said she liked the idea of having a Wolf and a Bear in the house.”
We all shared a laugh.
“Pretty special,” Hugh said, and he used the back of his knuckle to dab his eye as if something were in it. But we knew better than that.
“That’s an honor. Your name lives on.” I pushed up to kiss his cheek. “Happy wedding day, brother.”
“Thank you. And thanks for standing up beside Lila. She loves you both like you’re her own sisters.”
“We feel the same,” I said, with no hesitation.
“Okay, Mama. I’m going to walk you down to sit with Dad.” Hugh wrapped his arms around our mother before offering his arm for her to hold on to, and he led her out the door to where everyone was seated.
There were rows of chairs with a walkway between them. The views of the water were breathtaking, and a gorgeous arch wrapped in pink and white flowers with greenery threaded all around it sat at the end of the aisle.
Once Hugh returned, he nodded at their wedding planner.
“All right. Let’s do this,” Sabrina said as the violinist started to play.
One by one, we each walked down the aisle.
Georgia and Maddox.
Me and Brax.
Rina and Wolf.
Shay and Travis.
Sloane and Finn.
Delilah and Cage.
Gracie made her way down the aisle, dropping flower petals along the way and looking like a little princess. She took her seat beside my parents, and my mom pulled her onto her lap.
Every time I looked over at Hugh, he’d smile at me, and I was unable to hold back the tears. My brother was one of my best friends, and seeing him find his happily ever after did something to me. He was the first of the five of us to get married, and he’d found his forever in Lila.
They were made for one another.
I searched the crowd and found Lincoln and Wyle sitting with my cousins. And Lincoln’s gaze locked with mine.
Just like it always did.
The wedding song began to play, and I pulled my gaze from him as Lila made her way down the aisle. She looked like a princess, with her dress swooshing around her.
The sun was just going down behind the clouds, and the sky was a mix of yellow and orange. A slight breeze moved around us, and it was a perfect evening for an outdoor wedding. I glanced over at the ocean in the distance. The cove was a special place for all of us.
My attention returned to the gorgeous woman making her way toward my brother.
Hugh moved to stand in front of her as he shook hands with Tate James, Lila’s father, and smiled down at Lila. Tears were streaming down her face, and he used his thumbs to swipe them away.
“They’re happy tears, Bear,” she croaked.
“I know, baby.”
