It was the big day. Aurora and Perry were getting married right by the water near the beach house, per Aurora's request which Perry couldn't argue with.

Aurora and her bridal party had kicked the boys out of the beach house as Perry went to a hotel with his groomsmen to spend the night.

"Ready for today, Aurora?"

Holly asked as Aurora hugged her tightly,

"Beyond ready."

Elena smiled at the scene taking a picture as Bekah smiled thinking about how blessed her and Finian were.

They were getting a daughter – in – law and Perry was happy.

"Ready, son?"

Finian asked as he and Perry shared a quiet breakfast at the hotel as Perry nodded,

"Yes, Dad."

Finian smiled sadly as Perry's expression changed from happy to sad,

"Is something wrong, Dad?"

Finian smiled gently and shook his head,

"I just miss your Grandma Della and Grandpa Perry. They would've been elated, especially your Grandpa Perry, to see you marrying the love of your life."

Perry smiled and nodded,

"I saw him in a dream last night, and he told me that he was proud of me and that he loved Aurora and I with all his heart."

Finian smiled and took his son's hand and squeezed it,

"And I love you with all my heart. Both of you."

Perry smiled and once they finished eating,

"Thank you, Dad."

"Mom, are you alright?"

Aurora asked her mother as the bridal party at breakfast as Jaclyn was a little quiet.

Jaclyn looked up with a smile,

"Oh, I was just thinking about the day you were born. How happy you made your Dad and I."

Aurora smiled,

"I remember you told me that I was born at the height of a thunderstorm and that you didn't make it to the hospital and that Daddy had to deliver me."

Jaclyn smiled,

"You were always impatient, and still are, but your impatience has been tempered with empathy."

Bekah smiled and sat with her future daughter – in – law as Aurora hugged her.

"Love you, Mom."

Bekah smiled brightly as laughter filled the house as Aurora began to get ready.

Once everyone was sitting down on the beach,

"Ready, Aurora?"

Fred asked her as Aurora nodded,

"I love him as much as I love you, Daddy."

Fred and Aurora hugged gently and as they walked down the aisle… No eye was dry as Perry smiled brightly as Aurora looked to him as she tried hard not to cry herself.

As the vows were exchanged, it wasn't lost on the crowd that Perry and Aurora loved each other very much as they exchanged loving glances as they laughed their way through the vows.

"I love you."

Perry and Aurora whispered to each other before Perry kissed his bride as everyone cheered.

As the reception happened Bekah smiled softly as she tried not to cry, thinking back to her and Finian's wedding 26 years prior* with how happy Della and Perry were.

"Mama, would you like to dance with me?"

Perry asked as Bekah nodded with a kiss to her son's cheek,

"Need you ask?"

As the pair began to dance Perry smiled softly with a giggle,

"Something on your mind, son?"

Bekah asked as Perry smiled,

"I feel Grandma and Grandpa's presence with us. They're giving all of us a big hug."

Bekah nodded,

"I feel it too. I'm so happy for you and Aurora. This was one of my wishes for you when you were born. That you could find love the way I did with Dad."

Perry smiled as the two continued to dance as they looked to see Aurora dancing with her Dad.

"Aurora, how are you feeling now that you're an O'Reilly?"

Fred asked as Aurora beamed,

"Never been happier. I'm happy that I found love."

"Me, too Aurora. I'm sorry for how I acted when you moved out here. You're my only daughter, my baby girl. It just hurt more than I was willing to admit."

Aurora nodded,

"Just think of the good that happened. I met the love of my life."

Fred smiled as he kissed Aurora's forehead.

When the couple left for their honeymoon,

"Thank you, Bekah and Finian for loving our daughter from the beginning."

Jaclyn said as the in – laws hugged each other as Bekah smiled,

"It was easy. When Perry was born I wished for this day to happen for him. Just like Momma wished my wedding day to happen for me when Momma and Daddy adopted me."

Everyone smiled as they went about their wonderful evenings.
