On Tuesday morning, we closed on the house without any problems. It was bittersweet to officially let go of my family home, but learning that the couple purchasing it had a two-year-old daughter with another baby on the way lightened my spirits. The house would become a home to another family.

After leaving the bank, we returned to my aunt’s house. Aunt Lucie greeted us at the door, and her eyes were glowing with excitement. She embraced me with open arms.

“Lily! Congratulations, dear!” She beamed while pulling back.

“Thank you.” I smiled.

“Did the closing go smoothly?” she asked.

“Yes, everything went perfectly. It’s a done deal.”

“That’s wonderful news!” She motioned us inside.

I started to take off my shoes, but then she spoke up.

“No need to take those off, Lily. You and I are heading out,” she stated matter-of-factly. “And, Kyle, I have a surprise for you, too. They should be arriving at any moment.”

Kyle and I looked at each other with equally puzzled expressions. I shrugged, knowing my aunt was stubborn and would not tell us a thing until she wanted to. Not even a minute later, the front door opened, and Damon and Jason strolled in.

“What’s up, Mom?” Jason asked, apparently as clueless as Kyle and me.

“We are just waiting on Dan, and then I’ll tell everyone,” she said, sealing her lips.

An awkward moment passed, and then Dan walked through the door.

“What’s going on, Lucie?” Dan asked while stepping inside.

“Alright,” Lucie said while clapping her hands, positively glowing. She was definitely up to something. “Here are the plans. Lily and I are leaving to go wedding dress shopping, and I made appointments for all of you boys to get sized at Men’s Wearhouse.” She turned her attention to Kyle. “I trust you can pick out a good-looking tux for your wedding day?”

Completely bewildered, we all stared at Lucie.

Kyle broke the silence first. “Yes, ma’am.”

“You called me out of work for that, woman?” Dan huffed, exasperated, while rolling his eyes. “I thought it was something serious!”

Lucie put her hands on her hips, narrowing her eyes at her husband. “This is serious!” she retorted. “It’s not every day someone in our family gets married! We only have one day to get this done, so chop-chop!” she added in her don’t-mess-with-me mom tone while clapping her hands.

We all instantly kicked into gear, making arrangements. All the men were going to ride together in Damon’s truck, and Lucie and I would be traveling in her car.

Kyle kissed me good-bye before heading out the door with my cousins and uncle. “Have fun dress shopping, beautiful,” he whispered in my ear before pulling back.

“You, too,” I said softly. I smiled lovingly at him as I tried to picture what he would look like in a tux.

His eyes were full of happiness that warmed my heart. It was my favorite look on him, and I hoped to see it very often throughout our many years together.

“See you later,” he added before making his way to the door after the others.
