the arch Curtis built. I cried when he brought it over yesterday; he did a stunning job. He even carved our initials inside a heart.
    No one had an issue when I called about renting the tables, chairs, and linens, which made the process so easy. The chairs were set up with the white covers on them and beautiful grey sashes tied around them with big bows on the backs.
    I couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle to Bentley. It felt like I had been waiting for this moment forever.
    I tuned to the door when I heard a faint knock. “Come in.”
    The door opened slowly and revealed Maggie with a small box in her hand. “I hope I’m not interrupting, or anything, but I was hoping I could give you your something borrowed.”
    She walked in and closed the door behind her. She opened the box and showed me what was inside, taking my breath away. I reached out and let my fingers touch the beautiful broach. “It was my mother’s. My grandma gave it to her, my mom gave it to me, and now I would like to share it to you.”
    I could hardly see through the haze of tears. “I don’t know what to say.”
    “You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to. I’m not your mom, and I’m not trying to replace her…I just wanted to give you something from me.”
    I took the broach from the box and held it in my hands, facing the window, as the light caught the tiny sapphires, making it sparkle. “I’d be honored to wear it, Maggie.” I turned back to her and hugged her close. “You are my mom and have been for a very long time.”
    Stepping out of her embrace, I faced Grams’ vanity and clipped the broach in my hair beside the flower and weaved it through so it wouldn’t fall out. “I think it’s perfect, thank you.”
    I gave Maggie one more hug before she left to take her seat out in the garden. I looked at myself one more time before I went to the living room to join my bridesmaids.
    The moment I stepped into the room, the excited chitchat stopped, and everyone turned to face me, making me blush at the sudden attention.
    “Haley, you look beautiful.”
    “Thank you, Daddy.”
    Papa walked up and hugged me. “You make your Grams and I so proud, sweetheart. You picked a strong man, and a wonderful family to marry into.”
    I only let one tear slide down my cheek when I let him go and cupped his face. “I love you, Papa.”
    Will popped his head in the screen door. “It’s time, are you ready?”
    I turned to face him and smiled, “I am.”
    He stepped into the living room and twirled me around. “Lovely, absolutely stunning.”
    “Thanks.” I couldn’t say anymore without my makeup starting to smear.
    He took both of my hands. “I don’t think I need to say this, but, Haley, you became a part of our family before we even met you. You brought our son back from being so lost and gave us our first beautiful grandchild.”
    “And second.” I winked at him.
    He looked at me, stunned, before a huge grin appeared on his face, “Really?”
    “Yes, but Bentley doesn’t know yet. I’ll tell him on our honeymoon.”
    He picked me up and hugged me tight as I laughed.
    Carleigh clapped her hands, “Okay boys, it’s time to take your seats, while us women try one more time to talk Haley out of this.” Whitney slapped her on the arm.
    “I’ll tell them to start the music then,” Will said as he left, winking at me one more time.
    “I guess I’ll show Grams to her seat,” Papa said, putting on his suit jacket.
    “Actually, Papa, I was wondering if you’d walk me out to the garden then Dad can meet us to finishing walking me the rest of the way?”
    “Sounds perfect,” Dad smiled. “I’ll take Mom to her seat and see you guys at the garden.” He kissed my cheek. “I love you, Hales, more than anything, but if he ever hurts you, know I will pack you and Emerson up so fast, and he will never find you.”
    “Don’t worry, son, I’ll just shoot him,” Papa stated with a nod.
    I closed my eyes and shook my head
