Jewel returned with the pillow. “It’s a little damp, but still looks fine. I’ve attached the rings this time.” She gave Hatter a firm look.
Razor held him while she attached the pillow, then clipped on his lead.
Crisis averted. Time for the fun part.
“Right, let’s try this again,” Razor said. “There aren’t any more animals that can go rogue, are there?”
She hoped not.
Razor walked out to signal to Ethan, who had the responsibility of starting the music. AsYou are the Sunshine of my Lifestarted playing, Betsy, then Jewel, headed down the aisle. Razor held out his arm to her. She grasped hold of him with a grateful smile. Seats had been set up on either side of the path and the guests all stood and turned to watch her walk down the aisle to where Duke stood at the end.
Beside him were Reyes and Sav as his best men. Duke stared at her hungrily, looking impatient as he waited for her at the end. When she reached Duke, he stepped forward, grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. Thankfully, she had time to wrap her arms around him, so her flowers weren’t squashed between them.
Hoots and hollers surrounded them as their guests went mad.
He drew back, grinning down at her as everyone grew quiet.
“You’re supposed to wait until I give you the go ahead before you kiss her, you know,” Millie said.
Sunny turned to look at her friend. When she’d asked Millie if she’d officiate the wedding, the other woman had cried. Then she’d thrown herself into getting the credentials she needed.
Today, she wore a pale green gown with a sweetheart neckline that had images of dinosaurs dancing around the bottom of the skirt.
Sunny loved it.
“Sorry,” Duke said to her, clearly not meaning it as Betsy took hold of Sunny’s bouquet.
Razor shook Duke’s hand. “Take care of her.”
“Always,” Duke replied.
“Uh-huh,” Millie replied, but she was grinning. “If the two of you could face each other, please?”
Millie started the ceremony and Sunny tried to concentrate. She really did. But it was almost impossible with Duke staring down at her like she was the most precious being he’d ever seen in his life.
“Duke,” Millie prompted.
Duke cleared his throat. “I love you, Sunny. Sometimes I find it hard to tell you how much. But I have never been so damn grateful to have my gardening service not turn up.”
Everyone laughed.
“I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I promise to always take care of you, to protect you, to always listen to you, and to always keep you in rhinestones. But hands off my hog.”
She giggled.
And drat, she’d always had plans to bedazzle his Harley.
“Duke, you are everything to me. My best friend, my boss, my biggest supporter, and the voice of reason when I want to dye everything I own pink.”
Duke snorted.
“And as a sign of my love, I promise never to bedazzle Princess Moonbeam.”
He shook his head at the name she’d given his Harley.
“Duke, you’re my family. You’re my dream man. My biker babe. My life is so much better for having you in it. And I promise that I’ll spend every day of the rest of our lives showing you how much I love you.”
Millie sniffled. “That was so beautiful, you guys.”
