“Let’s do it,” Lexieveryone else as I cup her face in my hands I knoe’re not supposed to kiss until the end of the ceremony, but I can’t help myself These vows have made my heart feel so full As we kiss in front of everyone, there’s a collective sigh and we hold each other tight I never want to let go

And now I don’t have to

The wedding party we’ve prepared is evenitself At the hotel we’ve booked out, there’s a beautiful garden where waiters are ne The five coursethe whole ti shter And best of all, Eddie is back to his nor with me and Lexi It’s the first ti to work There’s absolutely no bad blood between us, and it’s more than I could have ever asked for

Thesee for a first dance I take Lexi’s hand under the table and squeeze it

“Want to dance with me?”

She bites her lip “Actually…I’ to say no Not because I don’t want to dance with you But because I’ve been waiting for this moment for another reason”

I frown “Okay…care to explain?”

She s earlier…it was playing on a co TV on the couch And every time I hear it it makes me emotional…because it was at that point that I realized I loved you It was such a normal moment that we shared, and yet I looked at you and came to the conclusion that you were the man of my dreams”

The comment is sweet, but I’m still confused “Okay…but isn’t that why it’s perfect for our first dance?”

“Maybe…but I have a better idea You’ll see…I have soive you”

I glance at Eddie and catch hiular box from beneath the table and hands it to me

“Look inside…you’ll see the best thing I could ever give you”

I can’t help feeling a little pressured The three people at this table are looking atfor me to see what’s inside I have no clue what it could be, but I sense that it’s important, otherwise Lexi wouldn’t have made this such a priority
