So many feels, you guys!

The bride and groom, as well as many of the guests, spent the next two hours gliding around the dance floor. A variety of love songs were played, from Journey to Christina Perri and everything in between. It was truly beautiful and a true testament to Anna Elizabeth and Calin's love.

The DJ then announced, "For the final song, the bride would like to share a special dance with her father."

Anna Elizabeth smiled brightly before she pulled herself from her husband's grasp. They exchanged a smile before Calin kissed her cheek.

When she made her way over to Killian, she was met with a slightly surprised expression. He then spoke, "Love, you didn't have to do this."

Anna Elizabeth rolled her eyes before she pointed out, "Dad, don't be ridiculous – of course I did." She then added, "And I wanted to do it," with a bright smile.

Killian returned her smile as he spoke, "Well, love, I would be honored to share a dance with you."

Anna Elizabeth smiled and nodded at him in response. He then took her hand in his and led her out onto the floor.

The moment that they were in position, the DJ began playing "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You".

As they began dancing, Killian told her, "I have to say that you picked a lovely song, Anna Elizabeth."

The bride smiled widely as she commented, "I think of you every time I hear it."

Her words warmed Killian's heart, and he reached up to stroke her blonde curls in response. He then spoke, "Would it have anything to do with the fact that you wanted me to sing this to you every time there was a storm?" with a grin.

Anna Elizabeth grinned back before she chuckled lightly. She then spoke, "I was so scared of bad weather, but you always made me feel better."

Killian smiled as he sincerely told her, "Well, love, you know that all I wanted was for you to be safe, loved, and cared for."

Anna Elizabeth offered a genuine smile as well as she told him, "I never felt anything less." She couldn't help the lone tear that rolled down her cheek.

Killian wiped it away before he planted a kiss on her forehead. He then spoke, "Few words have every meant more, my darling."

Anna Elizabeth smiled once more before she stopped dancing for a moment to wrap her father in a hug. Killian hugged her back as he ran his hand through her hair.

When they pulled away, they resumed dancing, and Anna Elizabeth laid her head on her father's chest.

Killian smiled at the gesture before he began to sing along, "There's a love less defined. And it's yours and it's mine, like the sun. And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray. To the one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you there's no one else above you? Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness. Ease my troubles, that's what you do."

They then continued swaying through the rest of the song. When it was over, Anna Elizabeth wrapped Killian in another hug and told him, "I love you, Dad."

"And I love you, Anna Elizabeth," Killian spoke. A moment later, they pulled away and exchanged bright smiles.

An idea then struck the father of the bride. He then told his daughter, "I think it's time for your surprise, love."

Anna Elizabeth tilted her head and looked at him with narrowed eyes for a moment. She then smiled and nodded in response.

Killian then walked over to the screen and projector. He pulled out a flash drive from his pocket and put it into a USB port on the projector.

Meanwhile, all of the guests were all looking at the scene with curiosity, and Emma asked her daughter, "What is he doing?"

"Setting up my surprise, apparently," Anna Elizabeth answered.

A moment later, a PowerPoint presentation popped up on the screen. The title read, "My Greatest Treasure," and it had a picture of Killian awkwardly holding Anna Elizabeth when she was a baby.

By this time, everyone's attention was on the screen, and the lovely bride covered her mouth in surprise and was already holding back tears.

Killian then spoke, "As many, well, all, of you know, I didn't really handle the news of the engagement and wedding the best. I just hated the idea of my little girl growing up, and there was nothing I could do to slow down time." He then focused his attention on Anna Elizabeth and continued, "But I couldn't be happier, love, that you found someone to spend your life with that makes you as happy as Calin does. You held a special place in my heart from the moment you were born, and you became even more special after you were mine. And I hope this presentation shows just how proud I am to have you as my daughter and how much I love you, my darling Anna Elizabeth."

A moment later, the presentation started to play, and "Ready, Set, Don't Go" filled the backyard:

She's gotta do what she's gotta do

And I've gotta like it or not

She's got dreams too big for this town

And she needs to give 'em a shot

Whatever they are

Looks like I'm all ready to leave

Nothing left to pack

There ain't no room for me in that car

Even if she asked me to tag along

God I gotta be strong

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes

The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that

open road

Baby get ready

Oh I'm ready

Get set

Don't go

As the song played, various pictures from different times in Anna Elizabeth's life filled the screen, and Killian was beside her in each one.

The first several pictures were from when Anna Elizabeth was a baby, as well as a toddler. Most of them were of Killian playing with his niece and at her birthday parties. A few of them were candid shots of him trying to feed her and help her walk. No doubt Liam or Elsa found it funny because Killian looked like he wasn't sure what to do – the wedding guests couldn't help but chuckle as well.

The rest of the pictures revolved around important moments in Anna Elizabeth's life – graduations, birthdays, and cheerleading competitions to name a few. Killian couldn't look prouder if he had tried, and Anna Elizabeth's smile couldn't be brighter.

The most meaningful photos, however, were those where they weren't aware that they were being photographed. There were a couple of them fishing, working on Anna Elizabeth's car, and playing board games. There were pictures of them laughing at what the other had said, and of them wrapping each other in a hug.

All of the photographs were truly special. It was as if each moment had been captured with Killian and Anna Elizabeth, and they had been put together in a beautiful presentation. Though all of the guests were already aware, the pictures showed that Anna Elizabeth truly was a daddy's girl, and she meant the world to Killian.

The final slide featured two photos. One was taken when Anna Elizabeth was around four years old. She was sitting in Killian's lap as he was reading her a storybook of Disney's Peter Pan. The other photo was at an engagement party that had been thrown by Emma and Killian. Anna Elizabeth was standing next to her father with an arm wrapped around him. While one hand was stuck in Killian's pocket, his other one was wrapped around Anna Elizabeth, and he looked as though he didn't want to let go. The slide featured this quote: "A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she'll never outgrow your heart."

A moment later, the screen turned black. Before Killian had a chance to attempt to shut everything off, Anna Elizabeth ran over to him and threw her arms around him in a crushing hug. He hugged her back just as tightly and ran his fingers through her blonde curls. They stood like for a long moment before Killian pulled back and asked her, "So, I take it that you liked it, love?"

Anna Elizabeth shook her head at him. She then grinned and spoke, "I didn't like it – I absolutely loved it, Dad."

Killian smiled at her as he questioned, "Truly, love?"

Anna Elizabeth nodded furiously before she elaborated, "Oh, Dad, it was beautiful. The song, the pictures, and the quote were all perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything better."

Killian's smile grew as he responded, "Well, love, I wanted to do something special for you on your wedding day, and I thought that this would be a wonderful way to show how much it means having you as my daughter."

Anna Elizabeth wiped away the tears that were flowing before she answered, "Well, you didn't need a presentation to show that, but it makes me so happy that you made this for me to show on my wedding day. I can't tell you how much it means to me."

"I think I can guess, love," Killian began as he wiped a few of her tears away. He then took a breath and continued, "As I mentioned earlier, love, I know I didn't handle the news of this engagement and wedding the best. And along with doing something special for you, I thought this could be a way for making up for my overreacting a number of times."

Anna Elizabeth shook her head once more before she assured him, "You have nothing to make up to me, Dad."

Killian smiled at her once more before he kissed her forehead. He then wrapped her in another hug, and as she always did, Anna Elizabeth loved the feeling of being in her father's arms.

Half-an-hour later, all of the guests had gone home. More smiles and congratulations had been offered to the bride and groom before everyone had left. Emma, Killian, and Liam were now clearing the backyard. Anna Elizabeth and Calin were helping, but Emma stopped them.

"Kid, you two don't have to help put all of this stuff away," she told them.

Anna Elizabeth pointed out, "Mom, this was our reception. You and Dad offered for us to have it here – it's only right for us to help."

Emma sighed before she told her daughter, "It's hard to argue with that, and I appreciate you guys wanting to help, but it isn't necessary. You are our only daughter, and you'll only get married once. It meant the world for us to have you and Calin's reception here, kid."

Anna Elizabeth smiled at her mother before she pulled her in for a hug. Emma then told her, "You go enjoy your wedding night," as she hugged Calin as well.

As they pulled back, both Calin and Anna Elizabeth's faces turned red, despite them having talked about it before. Anna Elizabeth then began nervously twirling her hair, and Calin was biting his lip.

They then took a deep breath and bid goodbye to her parents and brother before they walked hand-in-hand toward Calin's car.

He opened the door for his wife, and she carefully slid into the seat. Calin shut the door before going around to the driver's side. He started the Corvette before he pulled onto the street.

A moment later, Anna Elizabeth furrowed her eyebrows and scrunched her nose. She then observed, "Calin, this isn't the way to your apartment."

"So, it isn't," Calin responded with a grin.

"What are you up to? Where are we going?" Anna Elizabeth questioned.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be surprise," Calin stated. The blonde tilted her head at him, and he continued, "Speaking of which, I need you to close your eyes."

She narrowed her eyes at him as she asked yet another question, "What kind of surprise is this?"

Calin took a deep breath before he asked, "You trust me, don't you?" Anna Elizabeth reached over to squeeze his arm before she responded, "Of course I trust you."

"Then trust me when I tell you that you will absolutely love it," Calin sincerely told her, as he briefly turned to look at her. She smiled and nodded at him in response. She then closed her eyes as he turned his attention back to the road.

Calin continued driving until he reached Liam and Elsa's house. He parked his car in front of the garage before turning his attention to his wife. Anna Elizabeth then asked, "Can I open my eyes now?"

He grinned as he answered, "Not yet." He then got out of the car and went around to open her door. He helped her out and told her, "Don't you dare peek."

Anna Elizabeth shook her head before she agreed. Calin then placed one arm around her waist and held her hand with the other before he slowly led her to the front door of the house.

He then let go of her hand to take the key from his pocket. He unlocked the door before he told her, "Keep your eyes closed while I pick you up."

"Pick me up to do what?" Anna Elizabeth questioned. "To carry you over the threshold," Calin responded with a grin, though she couldn't see him.

Anna Elizabeth grinned back before she nodded her head at him. Calin then tightened his grip around her waist and placed his free arm under her legs.

He then lifted her up and carried her into the house. He walked into the living room and carefully set her down. He moved behind her before he whispered in her ear, "You can open your eyes now."

Anna Elizabeth slowly opened her blue eyes. As she surveyed the room, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

She turned to face her husband and asked, "Calin, why are we at my parents' house?"

"Well…," Calin began as he ran his fingers through her blonde curls. He then took a breath and told her, "Because it's our house now."

Tears began welling up in Anna Elizabeth's eyes, and she covered her mouth with her hands. A moment later, she uncovered it and asked, "What? How?"

Calin smiled as he explained, "You see, you know that your dad used this house to store the extra supplies that were given by that hardware store. I came with him to move those supplies into the warehouse. I thought about what you said about my apartment being too small for us, and I realized you were right. You deserved a place that was your own, and I knew this house would be perfect."

At that point, Anna Elizabeth was crying. She threw her arms around his neck and held him tightly. As they pulled away, she told him, "Thank you, Calin." "Your dad is the one who gave us this house," he pointed out.

Anna Elizabeth shook her head at him before she told him, "You were the one who wanted to give me a house, Calin. You know how much my parents meant to me – how much they still mean to me – and you knew that I would love for us to live in their house."

Calin ran his fingers through her hair once more as he smiled and responded, "You know that I all I want is to make you happy, Anna Elizabeth."

The blonde nodded her head before she told him, "This surprise makes me happier than I can even put into words. This is the most amazing thing that any guy has ever done for me."

"Well, they obviously didn't know what they had in you," Calin spoke. He then continued, "But I can't say that I'm upset that they didn't – it means that I'm the one who gets to spend the rest of my life with you."

Anna Elizabeth smiled widely as she responded, "And we'll build our lives together in our house."

Calin returned her smile before he cupped her cheek. He then leaned in and kissed her sweetly, a kiss that she happily returned.

As they pulled away, they rested their foreheads against each other's for a long moment. When they pulled back, Anna Elizabeth wiped her eyes as she spoke, "I've lost count of how many times I've cried today." She then grinned and added, "But at least they're all happy tears."

"And they're all part of the wonderful memories that we made on our wedding day," Calin added as he helped wipe her eyes.

Anna Elizabeth nodded before she surveyed the house once more. Memories flooded her mind, and it brought a smile to her face. She spoke her first word here, walked her first steps here, and grew her first tooth here, along with quite a few other firsts. One day, she would experience all of that with a child of her own. When she came here to talk to her parents about how Calin had proposed, she had no idea this would be their house. Liam and Elsa may not have been able to grow old together here, but she knew it brought a smile to their face knowing that their daughter would grow old here with the love of her life.

As she turned back to face her husband, he worriedly asked, "You alright, Anna Elizabeth?"

She nodded at him before she elaborated, "Of course. I know there's a lot I don't remember about my parents, but the memories I do have of them are some the best memories that I have."

Calin smiled at her as he ran his hands up and down her arms before settling them around her waist. He then spoke, "And now this house will be filled with love and laughter again, and we'll make new memories."

Anna Elizabeth returned his smile before she reached in his pocket to grab his phone. He looked at her curiously as she scrolled through the music.

He smiled as she stopped on their wedding song: "Perfectly Perfect." She set his phone down on the coffee table before she spoke, "Let's make a memory right now," with a bright smile.

He nodded before she moved to wrap her arms around his neck. She laid her head on his shoulder, and they began slowly swaying the song.

Calin then whispered in her ear, "Welcome home, Anna Elizabeth."

I looked up ideas for father-daughter songs, and "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" was on the list. Aside from the fact that Killian did sing this song to Anna Elizabeth when she was a little girl, I decided to go with this song because it was played during the father-daughter dance in the movie What a Girl Wants. For those of you who have seen the movie, you know just how important that scene and the dance was within in the movie, and I thought it was equally as important in my story .

I also wanted to let you guys know that will be one more chapter to this wedding story, and it will include that very feelsy heart-to-heart conversation between Killian and Anna Elizabeth.
