There was lots of squealing and laughing and hugging going on.
“What in the world are they putting in that Honey Mountain water?” I teased, and we took turns hugging one another all over again.
It was exactly how it should be today.
The love in this room was impossible to miss.
Vivian, Dylan, Ashlan, Everly, and Charlotte all grabbed the little ones and made their way out the door. They wanted to go see Hugh before they found their seats.
We finished getting ready, and Lila stood up when her father knocked on the door.
Delilah shook out Lila’s long train, and we got emotional at the sight of her.
“It’s time,” Sabrina, the wedding planner, said. “Let’s get you all lined up.”
Georgia and I kissed Lila’s cheek as my mom whispered something in her ear and hugged her one last time. The three of us headed out first to go find Hugh.
Lincoln and Wyle were just walking outside to take their seats when he saw me. He tugged me close and kissed me. “You look fucking stunning.”
“You look pretty good yourself, handsome.”
He held on to my fingers before pulling away and winking. I watched him walk off in his black suit beside Maddox’s brother.
I had a vision of this being me and Lincoln someday.
I’d never been the girl that sat around dreaming about my wedding day. I was always so focused on volleyball and school and then on my career. But lately, I thought about it.
This was the first man that I ever saw myself with long-term.
I wanted things I’d never wanted before.
And it was making it difficult to choose where I wanted to accept my next position.Football Livehad interviewed me remotely, and they’d offered me a great job. I’d be focusing primarily on football if I signed with them, and they’d come with a very impressive package.
But now, Audrey fromStride Forwardwas also in the mix, and I’d had such an amazing experience working for her when I was in college.
Sports Todaywas the holy grail in the world of sports. I’d dreamed of working for them someday and never thought in a million years that it would happen this quickly. They were having me come to the city next week for an interview. It was the place every sports journalist wanted to work. I wasn’t as certain about the package, as the man I’d been in touch with was very focused on the story I’d written about Lincoln, but he insisted it would be wrapped in a full-time offer.
Well, I’d know soon enough where I’d be living for the next few years.
I turned my attention to my brother as he and all the guys walked out.
Hugh looked so handsome in his black tuxedo, his long hair wavy and resting on his shoulders, just like it always did. Lila wasn’t the type of bride to demand he cut it off for the wedding or pull it back in an elastic band. She loved my brother exactly as he was, and he loved her just as fiercely in return.
Cage was Hugh’s best man, and then Finn, Lila’s brother Travis, Brax, Dylan’s husband Wolf, and Maddox were his groomsmen.
Hugh walked over to me and Georgia as Wolf strode beside him. We took turns hugging and turned our attention back to our brother. “You both look gorgeous. Did you see the girls? We’ve got more babies coming into the family.”
“Yes. We’re so excited,” I said, squeezing Wolf’s hand.
“Congrats.” Georgia beamed.
“Thank you. I couldn’t be happier.” Wolf nodded.
“Did Dylan tell you what they’re naming the baby?”
“No,” we both said at the same time, looking from our brother to Wolf.
Hugh reached into his tuxedo pocket and pulled out a onesie. “They gave me an early wedding gift.”
