Chapter 269 - I Do Too! (1/2)

The next day, everyone woke up nice and early for Sean and Natalie's wedding. It was a grand, but intimate wedding, and because it was so rushed, they decided not to have any bridesmaids and groomsmen. Only Little Pumpkin served as a page boy, and he held onto the wedding rings proudly as he stood beside the couple.

The wedding ceremony was held in the garden of the same hotel where their reception was to be held afterwards. Beautiful palm trees lined the sides of the garden and fresh spring flowers were blooming. The couple stood in front of a floral arch, decorated with soft pink roses and held each other's hands nervously as the wedding celebrant began to talk.

”We are gathered here today, to witness the wedding of a beautiful couple that fate has brought together...”

Halia watched as her best friend stood beautifully in her wedding gown and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She finally understood why Natalie got a little teary when she and Jackson were signing their marriage papers. ”I'm so proud of her,” Halia whispered to Jackson as she held tightly to his hand. ”She's gone through so many struggles to get to where she is today. I'm so happy. Sean will definitely treat her well and she will finally have the loving family that she deserves.”

Jackson smiled, ”But she's always had a loving family...”

He then pointed to Natalie's parents, Jeremy's parents, and Halia's father, who were all sitting in the front row, dabbing their eyes with tissues. Halia laughed. That was true, after all, who had 5 loving parents? She then glanced at Sean's parents who were also dabbing their eyes. To be exact, she was about to have 7!

Halia felt happy for her friend, ”That's true, after all, she has 7 parents.”

”7?” Jackson asked.

Halia pointed to Sean's parents and Jackson laughed.

Soon, Natalie and Sean exchanged their vows and Little Pumpkin handed them their rings.

”I do,” Sean smiled.

”I do,” Natalie also smiled.

Everyone felt emotional and quite a few tears of joy were shed.

As the couple helped each other put on their wedding rings, Pumpkin jumped up and said, ”I do too!”

Everyone quickly wiped away their tears and erupted in laughter. Children always had a way to lighten the mood.

”Now kiss already!” the little boy added before the marriage celebrant announced that the groom could kiss his bride.

Natalie looked at her son in surprise. Where did he learn this from? But, before she got to question the little boy, Sean pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips firmly against hers.

Pumpkin quickly covered his eyes and smiled.

Soon after the ceremony, everyone piled into the hotel for the wedding reception. The reception was just as intimate and beautiful as the ceremony. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, pink roses decorated each table, and dried ice created a smoky effect on the dancefloor.

Halia looked around in amazement, ”This is beautiful.”
