Chapter 52

After the cake had been served, and while Avery and Cade shared their first dance as a married couple, Gabby sat back in her chair at the bridal party table near the front of the pavilion and sighed in utter contentment.

The day was perfect. Just perfect. The weather held out and the ceremony had taken place outside under a sunny, cloudless sky. The only thing cuter than Brent walking Hailey down the aisle was Hailey getting to Cade at the makeshift altar and launching into his arms. The whole group in attendance awed. Gabby had cried buckets when Avery made her way toward Cade, given away by her mother, and he'd pressed his hand to his heart with misty eyes.

God. Just...God. Was there anything more romantic than that?

They'd said their vows under a white lattice arch teeming with spring honeysuckle just starting to bloom. Hailey had spent most of the time in Cade's arms, but she'd eventually climbed down and run around the lattice. Guests found that adorable, too.
