“Liam? It’s time, son,” the priest said.
“I’m more than ready, Father.” Liam took a deep breath and left the room, with Brett and his father following him.
“Liam?”
“Yeah, Dad?”
“I’m honored you asked me to be your best man,” Joseph said, and his voice cracked.
“Dad, you are my best friend. Why wouldn’t I ask you?”
“Hell, if I know.” Joseph laughed, along with Liam and Brett.
The priest stopped, looked at them, and shook his head.
“You didn’t say anything to him about swearing,” Liam said, frowning.
“It’s a lost cause with your father. I was hoping to stop you from being the same. I can see it’s not going to happen.”
The men laughed as they followed him to a door. Liam opened it, and they stepped into the church beside the altar. The little church was packed, and he knew there were people outside. It was a tradition in Clifton.
When the music started, everyone stood and looked toward the vestibule. Liam hissed in a breath when he saw her. The veil covered her face, but he could see her beautiful smile.
Ian O’Brien looked so proud. Liam was surprised his buttons stayed closed on his tux jacket.
As she glided toward him, Liam couldn’t help but grin when she looked at him and winked, making him chuckle.
“She’s beautiful,” his father said.
“Breathtaking.”
Once she reached the altar, Liam stepped down to meet her and took her hand in his. He kissed her knuckles and swore he heard people sigh.
“You look amazing,” he whispered.
“You look so hot in that tux,” she whispered, and he had to bite back a laugh.
“Are you ready to start the rest of our lives, Irish?”
“As long as it’s with you.”
“Always, darlin’. Always.”
When the ceremony ended, the priest smiled and looked at them.
“You may now kiss your bride.”
“With pleasure,” Liam murmured as he raised her veil and stared into those beautiful eyes. He cupped her face in his hands and lowered his lips to hers.
He had planned to give her a quick kiss, but when her arms wrapped around his waist, he pulled her tight against him and deepened the kiss. It went on until the priest cleared his throat. Liam lifted his lips slowly and stared into her eyes.
“I will love you until my dying breath, Siobhan Flynn. You have my word.”
“Right back at you, cowboy. I can’t wait to start this life with you.”
Liam grinned. Kissed her again, then they turned to face the guests.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. William Joseph Flynn,” the priest announced, and the guests applauded. Then everyone laughed when they heard the crowd outside cheering.
As Liam led her down the aisle, he couldn’t stop smiling. This is what he needed in his life. He would keep his word to her and knew they’d make it work. All they needed were children to hand the ranch down to, and he looked forward to teaching them along the way as his father had taught him.
Siobhan squeezed his hand. He stopped in the aisle, kissed her again, then led her to the outside doors.
When he opened them, he and Siobhan laughed at the crowd, waving and cheering.
He looked at the woman beside him and knew that’s where he always wanted her. Right by his side, and he knew that’s where she’d stay. She loved the ranch almost as much as he did. He thought back to thinking it would have to be one hell of a remarkable woman to see how much he worked and be able to accept it. He looked at Siobhan and grinned as he knew he’d found her.
Life would never be boring with her. He was sure glad he went to Dewey’s and met her. He was even more happy that he’d gone to Denver and brought her back to where she belonged. With him on The Flynn Ranch for as long as they had on this earth.
***The End***
