Sunny and Duke grinned at her.
“Right, what next? Rings! Hatter, you’re up!”
Jewel brought Hatter over and Sunny patted him while Millie retrieved the rings, giving one to Duke and the other to her.
Duke slid the ring onto her finger. “Sunshine, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. I will love, honor, cherish, and protect you as long as we both shall live.”
She sniffled. Sugar. She was not going to cry.
Duke gave her a soft smile as she reached for his hand, sliding the ring onto his finger. “Duke, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. I will love, honor, cherish, and protect you as long as we both shall live.”
“I now declare you husband and wife. Duke, this time you can officially kiss your bride.”
Duke grinned and dipped her back, holding her weight with one arm as he kissed her. When he tilted her back up, she had to cling to him to stop herself from falling into a puddle at his feet. Whoa. It felt like his kisses were more potent today.
Maybe it was because he was now her husband.
“That was some kiss.”
Duke grinned. “More where that came from, baby.”
“Oh, goody.”
“Everyone,” Millie called out. “It is my huge pleasure to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Canton!”
“All right,shall I do it here?” Sunny asked.
“Here’s good,” Millie replied cheerfully. “Come on, everyone, gather round. It’s time for the bride to throw the bouquet.”
It had been an amazing day. Her cheeks ached from smiling. She glanced over at her handsome husband.
Damn, she liked that word.
Husband.
She got to keep that man.
“Right, Sunny,” Millie told her. “Turn around and then throw the bouquet on the count of three.”
Sunny grinned at everyone, then spun so she was facing away from them. “One. Two. Three!” The bouquet went flying over her head and she turned to see who had caught it.
Her jaw dropped and laughter broke free as she saw Royal standing there like the cat who’d drunk all the cream, the bouquet in his hands.
“Yes, twin!” Baron said with a whoop, holding up his hand for Royal to high-five him. “Looks like we’re getting married.”
We?
Oh, good Lord.
Although she shouldn’t be surprised that they planned to share a woman.
Sunny walked over to where her friends stood. Betsy looked rather pale.
“This is not good for me,” Betsy muttered, staring at her sons with chagrin. “I’m not ready for the two of them to get married.”
“I’m sure you’ve still got a few years until you have to worry about that,” Sunny reassured her.
“Do I? There is one thing I know about those two and that is that they’ll always do the unexpected.”
