My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1016 Everyone present was lost in their own thoughts, reflecting on the priest's words-at least until he brought up the subject of the vows.

"Serenity, Alden, the rings are a symbol of the love and eternal commitment you are promising each other. As you exchange them, may they always remind you of the love and fidelity you share," the priest said as Ethan approached, carrying the cushion with the rings.

Ethan took his role very seriously, his face set with total seriousness. Once his father and Serenity had taken the rings, the little boy hopped down from the altar, joining his grandfather Peter.

Serenity and Alden held the rings they were about to place on each other's fingers. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled. She looked stunning-there was no doubt about that. And to her, the man standing in front of her was the most handsman she had ever met, the kindest, and above all, a clear reminder that he would be an amazing father.

"Serenity. This ring will symbolize our marriage, a constant reminder of my love for you and of everything we are together. With this, I give you all my love, my loyalty, and my commitment... I love you, and I know I will love you today and always." "Alden... With this ring, I take you as my husband. I will love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will always remember that our love, which started as something small, overcevery obstacle, and now, against all odds, you and I are together. Alden, I will give you all my love, all my loyalty, and we will always have our eternal commitment to being the best family we can be." "May God bless your union and guide you on the path of love and peace," the priest said as the couple held hands. "I now pronounce you husband and wife." Serenity and Alden gazed at each other. As Alden looked at the woman before him, he couldn't stop thinking about how they met, how he fell in love with her-a story no one, not even Serenity herself, truly knew.

He had noticed her from the moment she arrived in Spain. He had seen her cross paths with Maximus, and though he hadn't been entirely sure at the time, everything pointed to the fact that she was the girl his father had spent years searching for.

She was a beautiful young woman with striking gray-blue eyes, dark hair, and a strong character. She drank coffee with almond milk. Maybe they had crossed paths once or twice, but Serenity had never noticed him. By the tthey finally met and he rescued her, he already had a slight idea of who she was.

Though he had forced himself to set those thoughts aside back then, in the end, tproved them right. Now, the fruit of their love was on the way-a little girl who would be arriving any day now. And he couldn't deny it- Serenity had stolen his heart from the moment he met her.

Without waiting another second, he kissed her. It was a kiss filled with longing, love, and undeniable desire.

As they left the church, everyone welcomed the newlyweds with flower petals and bubbles. The scene was heartwarming. Serenity looked radiant; her smile took her beauty to another level, and her eyes shone in a way they never had before.

For Marcus, watching it all unfold brought a lump to his throat. Walking his daughter down the aisle had already been emotional-he had felt like he was carrying his little girl, his baby. But now, seeing her leave on the arm of her husband, he knew she was no longer a child. She was a beautiful, deeply in love woman, one who would soc be a mother.

There was no doubt in Marcus's heart-he couldn't be happier for his daughter. And now, even for his not-so- beloved son-in-law.

Serenity's parents' situation was complicated, but for this occasion, they had decided to set aside thei differences for the sake of the couple. That's why the reception was being held at Magnus's house, in one of its vast gardens- something the bride's father had insisted on. The arrangement suited Peter perfectly. He had made it clear he didn't want any conflicts between Marcus and Maximus. In the end, all three of them were like fathers to serenity. And on top of that, Peter was also the groom's father.

For a man like Magnus, the opportunity to fill his house with guests was an event in itself. He had spared no expense thou Ipp though ultimately, Maximus would be footing the bill. Magnus had taken charge of organizing everything, acting as a mediator between the three fathers and the mothers of the couple. The setting was exquisite. The air was filled with the scent of flowers-roses, freesias, peonies, daisies, orchids. The entire place was breathtaking. There was no doubt-Magnus had done an outstanding job.

Serenity and Alden were in awe, taking it all in. They were excited, overwhelmed with happiness. But before the celebration could officially begin, there was one important thing to do-the famous family photo. A moment that, as expected, wouldn't be easy to arrange.
