My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

"Come on, Celeste, let's go already..." said Peter, watching how his wife kept hugging and re-hugging Aria.

"Go on, sweetheart! It's time. I promise I'll come visit you both very soon-and of course, I'm going to help with the wedding prep..." Aria said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter-in-law.

"Of course, sweet girl! And I wouldn't miss a chance to be with my grandbabies," Aria said, trying to keep Celeste calm.
