“Every day spent with you is the happiest day of my life.” She smiled. “I love you so much, my incredibly sexy husband.” Her lips brushed against mine.
“Okay, you two,” Jackson said as he walked over. “You have the rest of your lives to gush over each other. But right now, your guests are waiting to celebrate you.”
I chuckled. “We’re coming. Let’s go show them how we party.” I winked at her.
“Let’s do it.” She grinned.
We spent the evening talking to our guests, eating incredible food, and drinking fine alcohol. While Sofia was off talking with her friends, I stood with my brothers and cousins, except Simon.
“One more to go.” Conner grinned as he patted Christian’s back. “You nervous?”
“A little.”
“Don’t be,” I said. “Charleigh loves you, and she’ll say yes.”
“What are you, douchebags, talking about over here?” Simon walked over, holding Nora.
“I was asking Christian if he’s nervous,” Conner spoke.
“Nah. He’s got this. He’s one of us, and we Kinds don’t get nervous. Isn’t that right, Nora?”
“Yeah.” She nodded.
“See, even our sister knows better.”
Sofia walked over and wrapped her arm around my waist. “It’s time to cut the cake.”
“YES!” Conner shouted. “It’s about time. Let’s go.” He grinned.
After we cut the cake, the DJ announced it was time for the bridal dance. Sofia and I made our way to the dancefloor and shared our first dance as husband and wife to the song Amazed by Lonestar. The smiles never left our faces as we stared into each other’s eyes.
“I love you, Mrs. Kind.”
“I love you, Dr. Kind. Can you believe we pulled this off in two months?”
“Yes, I can. You’re an extraordinary woman who does extraordinary things.” I winked.
After the song ended, another played for my daughter and me. Picking her up, I swayed back and forth as her cast rested on my shoulder.
“One day, we’ll be doing this at my wedding.” She smiled.
“I’m the only man you need in your life, sweetheart.”
“You sound like Stefan, Dad.” She giggled. “But you don’t have to worry. I won’t settle for just anyone. I’ll make sure he’s just like you, and you’ll love him as much as I do.”
I held her against me as I kissed the side of her head, and tears filled my eyes. I had no idea what I’d done in my life to deserve the two most special girls in the world. Sofia walked over with our son, and the four of us danced together as a family until the end of the song.
“It’s time.” Sofia smiled as we walked off the dance floor.

“You know what to do.” I winked at Ella.
“On it.” She grinned.
“Aunt Charleigh, come on.” She grabbed her hand.
