I nodded, unable to fored my uncle around the waist He wasn’t ive raciously welcomed me into both his family and his heart I loved him dearly for that

“Places everyone,” my aunt announced She walked up to me and handed me my bouquet of white and roses “You ready?” she asked

“Yes, I’m ready”

I slipped my hand into the crook ofbreath We walked outside, the late afternoon sun shining around us, and my uncle led me to the entrance of our chapel tent Hannah and Finley, looking adorable in their chairl dresses, skipped their way down the isle, and then Demi folloith Jeff at her side I took a minute to savor this moment and when I looked up, Grayson found me

My breathing hitched when my eyes collided with Huntley’s as she oith her hair swept to the side, and even through her veil I could see her s in my eyes Jeff reached over and squeezed my shoulder “You okay?” he whispered

I grinned ‘I’ve never been better”

They reached the an lifted Huntley’s veil, placing a gentle kiss in her cheek I saw his eyes grow a little wet as he went to stand next to his wife I took Huntley’s shaking hand insqueeze I aze was filled with the love and adoration she held forto see that Hunter wasn’t fussing withmy full attention to the priest

“Who gives this woman away?” he asked

Coach Morgan and his wife both said “we do” and I thought it was rather fitting It was because of them that Huntley had turned out to be the incredible wo in front of ot on with the shoas grateful for the short ceremony and almost jumped with excitement when it was time for the vows My eyes never wavered from Huntley’s as she repeated the priest’s words

“I Huntley Morgan, take you Grayson Carter to be ood tiive you my hand and e my faith and love to you Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal

Just as it is made of incorruptible substance, , I thee wed”
