had. He was so handsome, he made her heart hurt. Or maybe that was the love filling her. Love for this wonderful man who had decided to show her how much he cared.
She walked toward him, knowing that whatever happened, they would be together always. When she reached him, she handed Gladys her bouquet, then faced him. He took her hands in his.
“Still want to marry me?” he asked with a smile.
“You know it.”
He kissed her knuckles, then turned to the mayor. “We’re ready.”
“I can see that,” she told them before looking at the people who had come to witness the happy event. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered together in the sight of God and this company to join Nancee and Shep in holy matrimony.”
Calvin walked up to Nancee and meowed. Everyone laughed.
“I think he’s giving his blessing,” Mayor Marsha said.
“I know he is.” Nancee patted him, then turned back to Shep. She squeezed his hands, and he winked at her. Funny how everything had turned out so perfectly, she thought happily. It was her very own Christmas wedding miracle. And here she was, marrying the man of her Christmas dreams.
