“Yes!” Ring forgotten, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him till I ran out of air, then kissed him again with all the love and joy in my heart.
Visions of becoming a spinster cat lady dissolved. Although, my neighbor’s cat was due any day with a litter, and I still hadn’t figured out how to tell Rex we’d be soon be parents to a ball of fur of indeterminate breed.
A long time later, he placed the ring on my finger and I bawled like a baby. He held me close. “Heather, don’t cry.”
“It’s okay. I always cry like this when I’m happy. Just ask my mom. Oh! My mom. We have to tell her.”
We went to Sunday dinner at my mom’s and surprised her with the news. Later that day, Rex called his parents to let them know.
The wedding didn’t take place somewhere exotic, but in a small church in the historic district surrounded by family and friends. My brother Sam gave me away. Tamara was my matron of honor, her stomach round with her and Stefan’s baby boy. Miranda, my sister-in-law Evie, and Kiersten were my bridesmaids. Rex’s EMT partner, Austin, was his best man and his brother West, and two of his best friends from school were groomsmen.
At the reception, I danced in my husband’s arms, a perma-smile on my face. I thought back to the day Miranda had told me she had the perfect guy to set me up with. Along with Rex’s sister Kiersten’s help, they’d put the man of my dreams on that plane, saving me from becoming the grumpy cat lady I’d felt certain I’d turn into. I couldn’t wait to return the favor and help them both find their own happily ever afters.
But first the honeymoon— back to where our love had grown thanks to my very own Cupid. And if all went as planned, a new life would begin.
