I couldn't help but smile as I watched the woman sitting next to me. She was so beautiful, even after all these years when I had aged and she had not. I loved her more than ever. And now here we were for an event that I didn't believe we would be able to share. We hadn't been together for our son's marriage, hell, due to stubbornness on both our parts I hadn't even been there. But I knew that she forgave me for that. She knew her son and her husband. As the music changed I turned my attention back to my daughters wedding.
As I watched the ceremony, I thought back on some of the events that had led to this day. To say that it had been a difficult road would be putting it very mildly. Rules, evil snakes, other significant others, and hell, even death couldn't stop them. Not for these two. I don't think that even the end of the world could have stopped them. Not their love. They had it. What I'd had. What I wanted for her. He may not have been the first man that I would have chosen, but he was the one for her. There was no other. She was in love and she was happy. Not just content, not settling. She was truly and utterly happy. I hadn't seen her like this in years. I watched her as she solemnly spoke her vows to love and cherish the man in front of her. She meant every word. She looked directly into his eyes and handed him her soul, knowing that it would be safe with him. He would never hurt her. I knew he'd die before hurting her. And though I wasn't there to tell her how I felt, I knew that she knew that I approved. And after I had met Pete, I told her that she could have everything that she wanted. At the time she told me she did but I could see the truth in her eyes. She wanted what she couldn't have. I had seen the same thing in him too. Now, well now I'm just happy that after all this time that they have what they want…each other.
