Page 107 of Billionaire Unexplained: Kaleb

I’d been flabbergasted when he’d named a date.

I’d told him it couldn’t be done in two weeks, even though I’d had no real objection to the date.

He’d proved me wrong. With friends and family pitching in, the details and the work had been accomplished very quickly.

I hadn’t minded being wrong. I was as eager as he was to get on with the rest of our lives because we had so many plans for our future.

The service had been relatively small because there wasn’t enough space for the whole town to cram into that chapel.

Wyatt, Tanner, and Devon had stood up for Kaleb.

Kim had been my matron of honor, and I’d asked Shelby to be my bridesmaid.

Although the wedding had been smaller and cozy, the reception was massive. Most of the town was in attendance.

Millie had asked to host the reception at her place since she loved planning parties and events at her home.

Kaleb had readily accepted because that meant he didn’t have to do cleanup duty before he took me away for our honeymoon in Italy.

He had, however, gotten the event catered so we didn’t have to deal with the massive amount of food that was needed to feed most of the town.

We’d set up classy tents that were heated, but they really hadn’t been necessary. It was a lovely fall day and much warmer than what was usual for this time of year in Montana.

“Did I happen to tell you how beautiful you look today?” Kaleb asked from his place beside me at the table.

I turned to look at him, resplendent in a formal tuxedo.

Our wedding party was seated around us outside at the big table, all of us eating the delicious food from the caterer.

Honestly, I felt beautiful.

I’d opted to go with an ivory wedding dress instead of stark white because bright white was definitely not my color. It had a blush lining so the details of the dress popped. The train was short, and I loved the fitted lace sleeves. After the dress was chosen, it was quickly tailored to fit me perfectly.

Kim had done my hair, and I’d ditched the traditional veil and went with some artfully placed pearl combs that matched my dress.

Kaleb had told me that I looked beautiful many times today, but the covetous look in his gorgeous green eyes sent a shiver of awareness down my spine.

“Many times,” I finally answered. “But thank you…again. You look extremely handsome yourself.”

Kaleb in formal wear took my breath away…always.

It wasn’t just the tuxedo that made me breathless, it was the way he could wear it without looking the least bit uncomfortable.

Being a billionaire businessman, he’d probably needed to go black tie many times in the past.

“I know you’re missing your own parents today. I’m sorry, sweetheart,” Kaleb said in a deep, quiet voice.

I did miss my parents, but the pain was bearable now.

I wished that they could be here, but I hadn’t let those clouds overshadow the happiest day of my life.

“They would have loved you, your mother, and your family. Are you missing your dad?”

“A little,” he admitted as he put his fork on his empty plate. “I wished you two could have met, but I’m not any less happy today because of it.”

“I feel that way, too. I can’t believe we’re married. It happened so fast that I haven’t had time to think about how it would feel once the ceremony was over.”

“And how do you feel?” Kaleb questioned.
