The moment Jason saw Estrella in her wedding dress, he was absolutely spellbound. She had always been stunning, but seeing her in bridal white left him breathless, unable to tear his eyes away.
Their gazes locked, and as Jason approached in his groom's suit, bits of confetti still clinging to his hair, Estrella couldn't help but smile warmly. That smile brought Jason back to reality. His face lit up as he knelt before her, gently taking her hand. “My love, I’ve come to take you home,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.
Estrella squeezed his hand, her heart swelling. “Yes,” she whispered, their eyes locked, the world around them fading away.
Their son, Isaac, brought them back to the moment by reminding Jason, “Dad, you need to find Mom’s shoes.”
Jason turned, ruffling Isaac’s hair affectionately. “You little rascal, always keeping us on our toes,” he chuckled.
Standing up, Jason set out to find Estrella’s wedding shoes, with Taylor and Grayson lending a hand. They eventually found the shoes hidden inside a plastic bag in the bathroom sink, thanks to their friend Sandy, the lawyer, who had a knack for hiding things in the most unexpected places. “Classic Sandy,” they all agreed, impressed by her ingenuity.
With the shoes found, Jason lovingly helped Estrella into them before effortlessly lifting her off the bed.
Downstairs, the music swelled, signaling the celebration was about to begin.
As Jason carried Estrella to the wedding car, Autumn trailed behind, tears streaming down her face, unable to contain her emotions.
Her crying touched Cole, who, despite his best efforts to remain composed, felt a lump in his throat. “Autumn, it’s a happy day. Estrella’s getting married. Try to hold back the tears, or you’ll never stop,” he tried to console her.
But his words only made her cry harder. “I just can’t believe how quickly she’s grown up,” she managed between sobs.
Autumn’s cousins tried to comfort her, reminding her, “Autumn, Estrella’s not moving far. It’ll be like she never left. You can visit her anytime.”
Autumn, dabbing her eyes with a tissue, nodded, trying to stem the flow of her tears. “I know, I’m just so happy.”
Taking the microphone, Jason looked at Estrella, his voice breaking as he expressed his gratitude for her love, patience, and unwavering support. “From here on, I vow to be a devoted husband and father, protecting and cherishing you and our children with all that I am,” he pledged, his words a solemn promise to treasure their shared future.
In that moment, all past trials seemed trivial, their love and commitment to each other shining brightly as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives together.
Jason’s eyes shimmered with gratitude, a sentiment perhaps lost on others, but Estrella understood more than anyone else could. She knew the guilt he harbored towards her and the depth of his desire to treat her well.
Lifting her hand to gently caress Jason’s cheek, Estrella chuckled and said, “Silly.”
Time flew like an arrow, yet Estrella’s laughter remained as radiant and sunny as ever, her beauty undiminished. She was still the same Estrella who had always adored Jason.
At Estrella’s affectionate tease, Jason didn’t wait for the officiant to announce the kissing part of the ceremony. Wrapping his right hand around the back of Estrella’s head, he leaned in and captured her lips with his.
