“Love you too, Daddy.” She flings her arms around his neck, and he scoops her up, smothering her face in kisses.

She giggles, and my heart leaps at the sound.

Josh gently lowers her to the ground, and takes my hand in his again.

Reece takes a step forward and hands the rings to the celebrant.

She holds them in her hand and smiles. “Joshua and Delaney will now exchange rings to show their love and commitment to each other. A wedding ring is a circle—a symbol of a love that has no end. Joshua, please place the ring on Delaney’s left hand and repeat after me.”

My hand shakes as Josh takes hold of it, and he gives it a gentle squeeze before sliding the ring on and repeating the words. “As a sign of my love, that I have chosen you above all else, with this ring, I thee wed.”

“Delaney, if you could place the ring on Josh’s left hand and repeat after me.”

I nod, picking up the ring and switching hands. “As a sign of my love, that I have chosen you above all else, with this ring, I thee wed.”

“And now, by the power vested in me by the state of California, it is my absolute delight and pleasure to declare you married. I know you’ve been waiting all ceremony, Joshua, and it is now time to kiss your bride.”

Josh grins, sweeping me into his arms, his lips crushing mine in a kiss that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

“I love you,” he whispers.

Behind us, everyone cheers and any nerves I had about who our wedding guests were disappear as we turn together and face rows of beaming faces.

This is my life now, as crazy as it may be.

And the most important people in my life are right up the front to celebrate with me.

Best day ever.

The day is a blur.

There are photos. Oh, so many photos.

There’s food and cake and dancing.

And then, Josh and I leave to spend the night at the Four Seasons hotel in the penthouse suite. By the time we get there, we’re too distracted with each other to care about the decor.

We’re a hot, sweaty mess tangled in the sheets, ready to shower and sleep in the small hours of the morning.

Josh and I have a week alone planned in Hawaii before Melly joins us with Josh’s parents, Reece, and Pania. We wanted time for ourselves, but we also wanted to spend time with people we love the most.

Josh is still mucking around in the bathroom, and I pick up my phone and start scrolling through Instagram. We didn’t put any restrictions on our guests about photos, and I still want to see if anyone has posted anything.

Josh’s Instagram makes me smile.
