Forever You by Lynn, Sandi (e novels to read txt) 📕

FaceTime her. I smiled as she answered on the second ring, and her face came across

my screen.

“Hello, my love,” she smiled.

“Hi, baby, I just wanted to say good night.”

“Do you have a glass of scotch with you?” she asked.

I held up my glass so she could see it. “I sure do. Do you have your glass of wine?”

She held up her glass of red wine and smiled. “I sure do.”

“You need to go to sleep, babe, and get your beauty rest,” I said gently to her.

“I was going to sleep, but some hot, sexy man called me and wanted to FaceTime; I couldn’t

resist.”

“I just wanted to see you one last time before our wedding day. Now, put your lips up to the screen

so I can kiss you good night.” We puckered up and brought our lips together on the screen of our

phones. “Goodnight, baby, and sweet dreams,” I whispered. “Good night, my love,” she softly spoke.

I ended the call, set my phone on the night stand, and slept until the alarm went off for work.

Chapter 29

The day that I’ve been waiting for had finally arrived. I looked in the mirror as I straightened my

bow tie. I couldn’t believe that in just a few short hours, I’ll no longer be a bachelor. I’ll be a happily

married man to the most beautiful woman. If you would’ve asked me a year ago if I thought this day

would ever come, I would’ve said hell no! It’s amazing how much your life can change in just a little

under a year when the most perfect woman in the world walks into your life.

“Connor, it’s time to go,” Denny said as he walked in the room. “You don’t want to keep your

bride waiting; do you?”

I took in a deep breath as I climbed in the back of the limo. Our wedding was taking place in the

Conservatory Garden in Central Park. It’s something that Ellery has always dreamed of, and she was

right; it was a beautiful place to get married, just as it was in her painting.

It was a perfect day as the sun was shining brightly. When we arrived at the Conservatory Garden,

people were already gathering and being seated as we walked through the Vanderbilt Gates. The

rows of white chairs, decorated with bows made of tulle, were perfectly positioned. Beautiful

flowers graced the aisle where a white runway was laid, leading down to an archway made of white

magnolias that sat in front of a large fountain. Henry was to be my groomsman. Not only was Denny

my best man, he was also walking Ellery down the aisle. I remember the day she asked him, and a

tear formed in his eye as he said he’d be honored to give her away to me. I walked around and said

hello to family and friends.

“Connor,” my mom said as she walked over to me, “You look so handsome. I thought I’d never see

this day,” she smiled.

“I didn’t think that I would either, mom,” I said.

My parents took their seats in the front row as Henry and I headed down the aisle to take our place

in front of the archway. Denny stepped outside the gates to meet Ellery as her limo pulled up. Dr.

Peters nodded and smiled as he and his wife sat down. I stood there next to Henry as a nervous

wreck.

“You’re not nervous; are you?” Henry asked.

“I’m nervous as hell,” I replied.

He put his hand on my shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Ellery’s the woman of your dreams, and you’re

finally making her your wife. You’re one lucky man, Connor.”

I nervously smiled at him. “Just wait until you’re standing in my place, waiting for Peyton to walk

down the aisle.”

“Good point,” he said as he cocked his head to the side.

The orchestra began playing as Peyton, Ellery’s maid of honor, slowly walked down the aisle. I

looked at Henry as a wide grin spread across his face. She looked beautiful. Following behind her

was Cassidy. She looked just as beautiful as she gracefully walked towards us with a smile on her

face. I took in a deep breath as the wedding march started. My heart started racing when I saw Ellery

holding the arm of my best friend. She looked exquisite in her wedding gown. Her hair was up in

curls that were accented by her classic long veil. Her delicate hands carried a bouquet of pink roses

and small white magnolias. As she slowly walked down the aisle, she never took her eyes off mine,

and her smile captivated me. She was radiant, and the most beautiful woman in the world.

She reached the archway as I stepped forward and Denny delicately placed her hand in mine. I

smiled at her and saw some tears beginning to form. I lightly shook my head. She started to laugh as

we stood there, holding hands, and we turned to the minister so he could begin the ceremony. He had

us face each other to say our wedding vows. I took in a deep breath and stared into her beautiful blue

eyes as I held her hands in mine.

“Ellery, I didn’t
