is indeed an honor to have been asked.â
While a guitarist Regan had hired provided music, Lucas and Landon escorted their mother down the aisle. As she had the night before, Molly came forward to hug and kiss Will and Colton before taking her place in the front row next to Lincoln.
Next came Troy and Emma, followed by Hunter and Hannah, Ella and Max, and Wade and Charley. After a long pause, Lucy and Simone appeared on the front porch, hand in hand as they proceeded toward the aisle.
Colton gasped at the sight of his fiancée, who was stunning in the gold dress that perfectly complemented her auburn hair. âWow,â he whispered, making Will chuckle.
Lucy released Simoneâs hand so she could drop rose petals on the runner that made up the aisle. When the little girl reached the front, she bolted for her Grandpa Ray, who held out his arms to her.
Colton stepped forward to steal a kiss from Lucy that made everyone laugh, especially when she gave him a gentle push to remind him of where he was supposed to be standing.
Still laughing at Coltonâs antics, Will glanced at the house, and the laughter died in one long exhale as he took in the sight of Cameron on her fatherâs arm, waiting for Regan to give them the sign that it was time to go.
âPlease rise,â Elmer said to the guests, who stood and turned to watch Cameron and Patrick.
Will had never seen anything more spectacular than the sight of his bride coming toward him, her dazzling smile making her eyes light up with the kind of pure joy he knew heâd remember for the rest of his life. She fairly sparkled in the bright sunshine as she met his gaze and held it, taking his breath away with every step she took closer to him.
He only blinked when tears nearly blinded him. Not wanting to miss a second of this, he kept his eyes fixed on her until she and Patrick were standing before him, and Patrick was hugging him and then Cameron as he joined her hand with his.
âStunning,â he whispered to Cameron.
âSame to you, love.â
As Elmer welcomed their guests, Will decided that this, right here, was the best moment of his entire life. Nothing could top this. Well, until Cameron was passing her bouquet of fall colors to Lucy and joining her hands with his to officially become his wife. That was better.
After they had recited traditional vows, Elmer said, âWill and Cameron have a few words theyâd like to say to each other before they exchange rings. Will?â
Heâd prepared for this, thought about it for weeks, planned what he wanted to say to her, but now, looking down at her looking up at him expectantly, his mind went blank. Before panic could set in, though, she squeezed his hands and smiled at him, calming him enough so he could remember what heâd planned to say.
âFrom the first time I laid eyes on you, bruised and battered and furious at the moose whoâd nearly totaled your car, I knew you were special. I didnât know then how special youâd become to me, but I knew almost right away that if I let you get away, Iâd regret it for the rest of my life. And now I get the rest of my life with you, and nothing could be better than that. I canât wait to spend every day with you, to have a family with you, to work with you and grow old with you. I look forward to every single minute with you. I love you more than anything in this world, and I always will.â
Cameron leaned in to kiss him.
Elmer cleared his throat. âNot yet.â When the laughter had died down, he gestured for Cameron to take her turn.
âI didnât want to come here, but my dad asked me to do it as a favor to him. And because he knows I canât say no to him, here I am marrying the man who saved me from the wild moose, the mud and a lifetime of wishing for all the things I now have, thanks to you and your wonderful family. Iâve never felt more at home anywhere than I do with you and
