The hot Louisiana sunshine shone down on the small group standing at the end of the carpet, the sun gilded Alex and Tonya's faces and gave Kat a warm glow.
Nick cast an admiring gaze over the women, the women wore simple sundresses, Alex in pale gold, Tonya in a pale green and Kat wore pink.
He listened with one ear to what the Baptist Preacher was saying, Nick simply enjoyed being at one with the world, knowing he was at the exact place he was meant to be.
Nick rejoined the group long enough to give the appropriate responses required of him. He waited to hear the words that he never truly believed that would grant him his greatest wish.
After the Preacher announced them husband and wife, the groom received the sweetest kiss from his bride. Turning the newly married couple faced their friends and family.
"Dearly beloved I present to you Nick and Alex Boyle, congratulation."
