Page 37 of Once Upon A Christmas Kiss

“I’m happy that it’s your wedding day, and I know that you’re going to be happy with Nicola. The baby is healthy and beautiful. You have everything, Antonella, to be happy.”

“Yes, Mamma, I do have everything. Thank you for always being here with me. I love you.”

“Ella, I love you. It’s time; let’s go.”

“Okay.”

We walk out of the dressing room, across the huge foyer, and stand at the door. Jacob walks over, smiles at me, kissing my cheek.

“Be happy, Antonella,” Jacob says, smiling.

Yeah, my brother is back; it’s about fucking time. I hope that Jacob’s and Nicola’s friendship is not ruined, that they forgive each other and move on. Life is too short to be fighting, especially now that we’re family.

Mamma and Jacob walk me down the aisle; I look at Nicola, gazing into his eyes. I stop in front of him, and he takes my hands in his. The ceremony takes place holding hands, exchanging our vows, and after the rings, Sofia hands Nicoletta to Nicola, he holds her in his arm.

The wedding is perfect

“I love you, Nicola.”

“I love you and Nicoletta.”

Nicola pulls me close to his side, kissing me deeply, holding Nicoletta between us on his side.

“I promise to love you forevermore.”

“I promise to love you forevermore.”
