She scrunched her brow as if trying to recall. “I don’t remember us having a ceremony here.”
He eased her over to the spot where Bryce and Charlotte had exchanged vows. The sunlight filtered down on them like golden dewdrops. He took her hand.
“Don’t you remember what you said to me here that night?”
She nodded. “The words were meant for the husband I would love.”
“That’s me, the husband you would love, and I recall your words well—‘I take Trey MacAlpin as my husband. I give my heart to him and only him. And I will love him for all the days of my life and beyond.’ ”
“You remember,” she said, surprised.
“Why wouldn’t I? They were spoken with such feeling that they touched my heart and had me eagerly responding.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mumbled something after you, though I didn’t admit to it. Now I will. I spoke words that were meant to seal our fate.”
A tear tickled at the corner of her eye. “Tell me.”
“I, Trey MacAlpin, take Bliss as my wife to love and honor all the days of our lives together, for without her, there is no life ... Bliss is my life.”
Tears streamed down her face. “I love you, Trey MacAlpin.”
“And I you, wife,” he said, and kissed her, sealing the gift of love that fate had given them.
