on my face, my eyes locked onto Amber’s. Then the room began to spin, and my stomach turned with knots. “Want to get married again?” I asked her from afar, sitting one of our daughters down so she could run over to her grandmother.
She nodded happily. “I’d marry you every day if I could, Jax.”
I put my other daughter down, held out my hands and awaited hers to fill them. While we readjusted up at the altar, Jake explained we were just in it for the show. Since we were already married, we wouldn’t need documentation.
Right before Uncle Colt could begin, I stared into my wife’s eyes, our hands still laced together. “Let’s do this shit.”
She looked appalled. “Jax, we’re in a church.”
“Sorry. God is probably saying the same thing. After all, what good is a big wedding without a bigger honeymoon?”
Uncle Colt cleared his throat before beginning. “I’m going to start with the renewal of vows from Jax and Amber, and then continue to the nuptials of Jake and Reese. Go on, Jax. Tell your wife how you feel about her.”
I opened my mouth to say something smart, but changed my mind at the last second. Amber deserved something to cherish, and I was going to give her plenty. “Amber, my stunning wife I fell in love with the moment I saw you naked.” I snickered while I let the crowd of people, including Reese’s family, who I might add used to consider me a son, all gasped or laughed.
“I know I’m full of surprises, and I don’t always make the best of choices, but there’s one thing that will never change, and it’s my love for you. Thank you for helping me make beautiful babies, for showing me burnt dinners can be salvaged because they were made by you, and for always going the extra mile under the sheets. You rock, babe.”
She laughed while shaking her head. Nothing surprised her anymore. “Jax, I used to think you were crazy and unpredictable, but as the years go by I’ve learned it’s just how you see the world and life. You don’t expect things to be perfect. You appreciate what we have, even if it’s burnt dinners or leftovers of those burnt dinners turned into a mystery meatloaf.” The room filled with laughter as she said it. “You have always loved me for being myself, and I love you right back.”
From the crowd, I could hear my father’s voice. “Go on and start making out. You know you want to.”
Uncle Colt pronounced us, albeit after I’d already pulled her lips against mine. If the people wanted a show, we were going to give it to them, tongue and all.
Chapter 12
Jake
We were still in shock Jax and Amber had pulled this off, down to the small details Reese was adamant on having. The stressing over the wedding could finally be over, giving us our lives back. On this day I’d promise to love and cherish Reese, the women I think I’d always been in love with from the moment she stepped into my life. Against the odds, forsaking others, nothing could keep us apart. Jax doing this for us, well it made me feel like he’d finally let go of every bit of ill feelings regarding what happened in the past. I had my brother back, my very best friend in the entire world. That’s not to say Reese wasn’t a close second as far as friendship goes, but let’s face it, Jax and I shared DNA. You couldn’t get any closer to another human being than that, not unless you cloned yourself.
In front of our family, before God, I was prepared to say my vows. She’d made me write them down, even though our wedding date had been far away. With Uncle Colt’s blessing, I began to confess my adoration and devotion to the woman I loved.
“Reese. I still can’t believe we’re getting married today. It’s crazy. I know you made me memorize my vows a long time ago, but if it’s okay with you I’d like to just say what’s on my mind.” I waited for her to nod before continuing. “Being with me hasn’t always been easy. Everyone in this room can
