Chapter 75- On an island

Aaron broke down for a few minutes after seeing Tessa looking so ethereal as she walked

down the aisle. He thought she was the epitome of beauty and he was the happiest man in the world, knowing he would spend the rest of his life with her. He couldn’t believe what was happening. He was marrying the love of his life!

When Reagan saw his father crying, he got down from his seat and approached him. He then gave him his handkerchief, saying, “Don’t cry, Daddy. Are you sad that you’re marrying Mommy?”

At his son’s words, Aaron ended up laughing as he took the handkerchief and wiped his tears. The audience was in awe of Reagan’s cuteness even though they couldn’t hear what he was saying due to the music, they saw how he went to give his father a handkerchief to wipe his

tears.

“I’m not sad, son. It’s just that your mother looks so beautiful, I couldn’t help but cry,” Aaron explained to his son.

“Really? Should I cry too?” Reagan asked.

Aaron chuckled while Michelle came forward and took Reagan back to his seat.

Meanwhile, the bride had finally reached the front. With a galloping heart, Aaron stepped forward to receive her.

Elena held her daughter’s hand and placed it in Aaron’s large hand. She held their hands. together and said while looking at him, “Please take care of my daughter. Love her with all your heart. If one day you feel like you don’t love her anymore. Don’t treat her badly. Just return her to me and I’ll gladly take her back because she will always be my little angel.”

Aaron shook his head and promised, “There will never be a day that my love for Tessa will fade. I learnt my lesson, Mom. I’ll never take her for granted again.”

Elena

gave

them her blessing and went to sit next to the kids.

At the same time, Tessa and Aaron went to sit on the white leather bench. For a good fifteen minutes, they listened to the priest preach about the goodness of marriage. He encouraged couples to continue loving each other just like they did when they just met.

“Real love never fades. Love your partner whether they grow old and can’t do the things they used to do before. Never go back on your wedding vows, ladies and gentlemen. Marriage is sacred and shouldn’t be done for fun or because you were forced. Let love be the foundation of your union. Only then will your marriage last. Above all, communicate with your partner, be faithful and truthful. Trust is also an important aspect. No one wants to come home to a partner who accuses them every day,” the priest said.

He then got down from the platform and went to stand in front of Tessa and Aaron. He
