Page 159 of Sin With Me
Whoops.
After takingappropriatefamily friendly photos, he kisses me before going off to meet with his father and groomsmen to walk to the altar.
The Hollises went all out, even more than I expected.
There's a large white tent decorated in lights and linens with gorgeous centerpieces on the tables.
Lanterns and hay bales line the walkway toward the tent and to the barn where the ceremony is held. Once it's over, we'll go eat and dance the night away.
I left my hair down in beachy waves with a purple floral crown on top of my head.
It matches Wilder's favorite purple boots that I'm wearing underneath my dress.
He asked Sam to be his ring bearer and looks the cutest in his little bowtie and vest. It's been fun getting to hang out with him on the weekends when I watch him and Lily for a few hours so Amelia can catch up on housework or sleep. Wilder usually takes him to the barn and they go riding.
Willow and Poppy are my flower girls and do a fantastic job throwing petals everywhere.
It was a good use of day-old flowers.
Since Wilder knows my issue with buying fresh flowers, he made sure to buy the leftovers that didn’t get sold the previous day.
My mom and Wilder's dad walk me down the aisle, and by the time we get to the front, I'm not sure who's choked up more—Mom or Mr. Hollis.
There's a chair in the front row with a photo of my dad and a bouquet of white roses. But if I look at it too long, I start crying, so I focus on Wilder instead.
As he shares his vows with me, tears stream down my cheeks and even though I just did my make up, I don't care. He makes the most heartfelt promise to love me until the day he dies andto find me in every lifetime because we're soulmates and he can't imagine a world without me in it.
But what breaks the dam completely is when he credits me for saving his life all those years ago when he was a broken man who didn't feel worthy of love, but how I proved he was because I loved him back.
When it's my turn, I can hardly speak through my emotions, but I clear my throat and push through.
I tell him he's the best thing that's ever happened to me and not only is he the love of my life but also my best friend. The person who makes me laugh every single day, the one who makes me feel safe and cherished even when I'm at my worst, and the man who shows up for me time and time again. Then I vow to love him till my dying breath and into eternity.
By the time we finish our vows, most people are dabbing tissues under their eyes.
Falling in love with Wilder and feeling so loved in return was the last thing I expected when I kissed him that night—only five months ago.
But I don't regret a single second because everything we went through brought us here to this moment where we vowed in front of our friends and family to love each other for the rest of our lives.
"Baby, come meet the rest of my cousins." He grabs my hand and leads me over to where I recognize a few from the Willow Branch Mountain resort.
"This is my Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Grady Langston." Then he motions toward me. "Meet my wife, Delilah Hollis. And our soon-to-be twins." He rubs his hand over my belly, making it standout.
"It's so nice to meet y'all," I tell them, but when I go to shake their hands, Lindsey pulls me into her arms.
She's a hugger.Duly noted.
"Congrats on the marriage and babies," she says. "You're glowin' by the way."
"Ooh, thank you. And I'm almost positive it's sweat."
She laughs.
Wilder directs me to the three cousins I met previously.
"And you know Warren and his wife, Maisie, and then Posey."
I give them all hugs and thank them for coming.
