“Great. I can’t believe this day has finally arrived,” Andre said.

“I can’t believe my baby brother is getting married,” Max said.

“Well, technically, I’m already married,” Andre said shyly.

“What? What do you mean?” his brother asked.

“A few days before Sophie gave birth, we went to the courthouse, so we were legally married when Quin was born. We did it right so no one could say Quin was born out of wedlock, although, no one beside you now actually knows about it,” he replied.

Max laughed a little as he listened.

“You are truly sneaky and definitely made for each other,” Max said.

“She’s the perfect woman for me and I’ll thank my lucky stars every day I spend with her that I was the one to end up with her,” he said.

“You really do love her,” Max murmured.

“More than life itself,” Andre replied as he straightened his tie in the mirror.

He knew more than ever that even though he had rushed the process of having a child he had been gifted with the life he had dreamed about. He knew that everything had worked out the way it was meant to be even when he thought there was no hope left for him. He knew that he just needed the right timing for everything to fall into place.

Soon he would be standing at the altar waiting for the love of his life.

Sophie.

To say that Sophie was shocked when Olivia pulled up outside a wedding venue would be an understatement. She looked around and saw that the venue was prepared for a wedding ceremony and it looked beautiful.

“Olivia, I know you’re a rebel and all that, but I don’t think today is the day to be crashing a wedding,” Sophie said as she looked out of the window.

She wasn’t paying attention as Olivia got out of the car and walked over to her door when Sophie saw her motion to her to move back, Olivia proceeded to open the door.

“We’re only crashing your wedding,” Olivia said with a smile.

“What are you talking about?” Sophie asked.

“You’re getting married today Sophie and if we spend any more time sitting here, you’re going to miss it,” Olivia smiled.

“Are you crazy?” Sophie asked completely shocked.

“No, I’m not crazy. Andre, however, is. He is crazy in love with you and just crazy enough to hire me to plan the wedding of your dreams,” her friend said with a cheeky grin.

“So, you’re serious, this is for me?” Sophie asked.

“Yes, now come on. You still need to get ready,” she said as she grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car. After closing and locking the car Olivia pulled Sophie to the bridal suite where a makeup artist and hairdresser were waiting for her.

“I suggest you have another quick shower,” Olivia said as he closed the suite door behind them.

Sophie was still in a state of shock as she nodded her head before finding the bathroom where she proceeded to have a quick shower.

She couldn’t believe that Andre and Olivia had done something so amazing for her. She had had a quick glance at the reception hall, and it was everything she ever wanted. She would have to thank Andre a million times for what he had done for her.

Once she was done with her shower, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe that hung on the door and went back to the main room where she was then treated and pampered by the makeup artist and hairstylist. She watched as they worked on her, her complexion changing in the mirror as they covered their dark circles and brought her face back to life, she hadn’t had much sleep since Quin had been born.

She looked amazing as she looked at herself in the mirror and once her wedding dress was put on her she couldn’t find the words to say as she stared at herself.

“You look stunning,” Olivia said from behind her, she was dressed in a light blue dress that Sophie would’ve picked for if she had been given the chance.

“This whole thing is amazing Olivia, thank you so much for the role you played in all of this,” Sophie said to her best friend and she pulled her into a hug.

“You’re actually going to make me cry and you know I don’t like crying,” Olivia said gently as she hugged her friend.

“I’m sorry, this is just so amazing,” Sophie said as she let her friend go.

“As I said, Andre is crazy in love with you,” Olivia said, “but we’re out of time. It’s time for you to walk down the aisle to your happy ending.”

Olivia took Sophie’s hand as she led her out of the bridal suite and toward the ceremony, Sophie saw her father waiting for her just outside and tears started to form in her eyes.

“Dad,” she whispered as her father took her hand and wrapped it around his arm.

“You’re so beautiful,” he said just as the doors flew open and Sophie’s eyes landed on Andre who stood perfectly at the altar with a huge grin on his face.

Sophie could feel the tears starting to roll down her cheeks as she tried to keep herself together. She looked around and laid eyes on everyone she cared for and when she looked back at Andre, she could see the sparkle of tears on his cheeks.

Her father kissed her cheeks before wiping her tears away gently.

“I love you, Dad,” she whispered before he let her go.

“I love you too.”

Sophie turned and faced Andre, her heart overflowing with love for him.

“You are truly one of a kind,” she whispered as she stood before him.

“And you are the best thing in my life, next to Quin, of course,” he replied with a cheeky grin.
