Sage took the bouquet I forgot I was holding and then it was Seth’s hand in mine.
The preacher behind Seth cleared his throat as he looked down at Laurie. “Would you be giving this beautiful bride away?”
Laurie squeezed my hand and looked down at her feet, then up at her father. She nodded. “I would.”
Seth crouched down and held his arm open. “Thank you, Munchkin.” She launched herself into his chest and he gathered her up against his hip, and never let go of my hand. He turned to me. “You’re so beautiful.”
“I love you so much.” I leaned in to rub my nose with Laurie’s. “Both of you.”
His eyes were red-rimmed as he brought our joined hands to rest on the little life between us. I sniffled and laughed then all three of us turned to the preacher.
“We’re ready.”
