Epilogue
Redford glanced into Carmen’s eyes as he slid the ring on her finger. Moments earlier in the presence of their families and wedding guests, he had vowed to love her, cherish her and honor her, forever, and he’d meant everything he said.
They had decided on a small wedding in DC with family and close friends. Sloan and Tyler were his two best men, and Leslie and Chandra were Carmen’s matrons of honor.
He would never forget the happiness he felt watching Carmen walk down the aisle to him on her father’s arm. The degree of love he saw shining in her eyes matched his own. Today, he was marrying the woman who’d truly captured his heart.
After the reception they would fly to spend two weeks in Bora Bora for their honeymoon. He was happy with the decision they’d made to set up residence in Skagway since he would be spending a lot of time there during the construction of the resort. And his parents were close by whenever he needed to travel.
Just like he’d known they would, his parents fell in love with Carmen and were excited to learn they would be grandparents in six months. The same thing with Carmen’s family. They were happy about the baby, and he got along great with them.
“I now present Redford and Carmen St. James,” the minister said, breaking into his thoughts. “You may kiss your bride, Redford.”
Smiling down at Carmen, he kissed his wife with all the love he felt and knew that he’d been well and truly tamed.
