shield like Superman, and say “Best Future Dad Ever” on the
back. She also got me another signed hockey stick for the collection
that’s growing in my home office.
I take out the box I
bought Thursday. We weren’t talking, but I knew I wanted it for
her. She opens the box and starts crying. “Luke, you got this for
me even though you were mad at me?”
“Yeah. We’re going
to get mad at each other. It happens. But you’re my baby’s mom,
no matter what.”
I help her put on the
necklace, which is silver and has a mother and child reaching for
each other, with a ruby heart below them. “I love it, Luke. Thank
you.”
“No. Thank you. For
carrying my child and protecting him, even when you thought you might
need to protect him from me.”
“I never really
thought that.”
“I know. Just another
thing for me to thank you for.”
I take her into the
Disneyland for a Dole Whip because she says she really wants one. We
browse the shops at both parks and buy pretty much every baby item we
see. When it’s time for her to start getting ready for the wedding,
I kiss her softly and remind her that I’ll always love her. Because
I will.

This is it. The day
I’ve wanted and hoped for since I was eighteen. Alex is about to
walk down the aisle and become my wife. At Disneyland. The only place
that would’ve been better is Disney World ,
but the travel time would’ve eaten up too much of our time. This is
the first place we spent time at as a real couple, so it’s a great
substitute.
Alex has been with my
mom and Rose all day, while I’ve been hanging out with my brother,
Matt, and his friends Aiden and Nate. None of them are even close to
having a steady girlfriend so it worked out perfectly for me. We rode
all the roller coasters multiple times. The only thing that would’ve
made the day better would’ve been if I could’ve woken up with
Alex by my side and spent the day with her. She insisted on being
traditional, though, and as history has shown, I’ll do pretty much
anything for her.
I’m standing at the
entrance to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle with Matt, Aiden, Nate, Zane
Wilson, and the Griffin brothers beside me when Cinderella’s Coach
pulls up. The door doesn’t open, and all I can see is Rose. Yasmin,
Chloe, Candi, Olivia, Quinn, Erika, and Sam walk down the aisle in
their dark turquoise beaded gowns first. The coach door opens and
Maggie, my Mom and my Gram help Hope, Erin, and Dave out. The girls
flank Dave and start down the aisle, tossing white rose petals in the
air. We’re all laughing at how cute they are. But then things turn
serious, for me at least.
Rose gets out of the
coach and walks down the aisle, then Gary helps Alex out. She’s so
beautiful that I almost fall to my knees right then and there. Her
wedding dress is sheer with lace over her shoulders and breasts. It
has a full beaded skirt that skims the ground. She has a tiara on
with a long veil attached. Her bouquet is white roses tied with thick
turquoise ribbon.
She takes Gary’s arm
on one side and Mom’s on the other. My Gram and Maggie walk beside
them. This is what she wanted, both her family, and mine, because
they’ve all been an important part of her life, and are perfect
stand-ins for her parents.
We smile at each other
as she walks to me. I want to rush over to her, but I don’t. I know
she’ll want me to wait for her. I’d wait forever for her if
that’s what she needed. Thankfully, she’s by my side in less than
a minute. Alex give her bouquet to Rose, and then I take her hands in
mine.
We chose traditional
vows, but also wanted to say one thing to each other that expresses
how we feel about each other. “I’ve always felt free to be happy
when I’m with you. Both when I was younger and now. Thank you for
that,” she tells me, as she tears up.
“I’m much more me
when I am with you. You set me free.”
We both have tears
falling down our cheeks as we’re pronounced man and
back. She also got me another signed hockey stick for the collection
that’s growing in my home office.
