everything else is just stupid shit we can work out along the way. Just trust in me and know that I will never hurt you, it is so much easier to control the urges to boss your pretty ass around when I know that Max is gone. I do not have to worry as much, but I do still worry,” He said grinning from ear to ear. I guess I understand it, wanting to protect someone you love makes perfectly good sense.
“Oli, I do trust you with my life, please don’t ever forget that. I just want to get our lives started together; I don’t want anything else to get in the way of it, not anymore.” He kissed my forehead, swooped me up, and ran down the hall to the bedroom, “Shh…you’ll wake Belle,” I giggled.
CHAPTER 4
Today is the day, the day I marry the love of my life, it seems like I have waited my whole life to be in this bliss. I bought a tea length white dress, simple and plain, but elegant and beautiful. I also bought Belle a matching dress, she was so excited, and “I have never been to a wedding mommy, “she squealed. I had talked to her about what it meant that I was marrying Oli, she understood well for a four year old. She asked why I was not married to her daddy anymore and when I explained what little I could so that she would understand, she surprised me by saying, and “Well I want Oli to be my new daddy,” she confessed. When I told Oliver, his eyes swelled up with tears, he loves kids and could not wait to have a family, I am afraid to say that everything feels perfect…but it does.
Maggie and I had a heart to heart before the ceremony, “Oh Gracie, I am so thankful that you came into our lives, especially into Oliver’s, he was so lost without you and you have brought him back to life in so many ways, he loves you and adores Belle, don’t let all the little things get you down, don’t run, ever, just love each other and I promise you the rest will fall into place, it always does,” she said with tears in her eyes.
I was standing in the doorway waiting to walk in; Belle had a hold of my hand and was admiring her pretty bouquet that Maggie has made to match mine. Ok, Grace just breathe.

I heard Maggie gasp with excitement and Oliver’s eyes started to tear up. Mr. Ambrose was the town pastor, he was an elderly man with a long white beard and he always wore sandals, rain or shine, he grabbed my hand, placed it in Oli’s, and smiled.
“Today two people become one, Marriage is one of the oldest symbols of love in the world, and it is fragile and must be handled with care, so many people take marriage and love for granted; I have known Oliver James his entire life, he is kind and deserves nothing but the best, so when he came to me and told me in a confession one day that he was in love with Ms. Grace Peterson I wasn’t sure what to say, besides, well son marry the girl, ”Mr. Ambrose said. The whole room laughed. We had about 20 people in attendance, what a sweet man, the pastor. “To say that it has been an easy road that has led them here would not be accurate. It has taken them a lot of tears and heartache. So today I stand here as proud as ever to be joining these two in marriage,” he said with a smile.
