Chapter 8

Fergus ushered Iris to a pew behind everyone else, then strolled up to take his place between two of his brothers. The Reagan brothers were back in line by birth order, according to the descriptions Fergus had given her. They all stood proudly in front of the pulpit and their father, the pastor.

“Kaitlyn, it’s time to start the ceremony.” The pastor said to the woman in the front row.

“I’m in the front row and ready, Patrick,” the woman with faded red curls answered back.

What would it be like to be part of this family, included and loved, no matter your background or past?

The pastor nodded to his wife, lifted his book, and began the wedding ceremony.

***

“Angus, will you love Daisy, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, be faithful unto her as long as you both shall live?”

Angus solemnly replied, “Yes, I will,” before sliding a shiny gold band on Daisy’s left ring finger. “Daisy, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

Pastor gave a nod to Angus, cleared his throat, and turned to Daisy.

“Daisy, will you love Angus, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, be faithful unto him as long as you both shall live?”

Daisy straightened her shoulders at his words. She met Angus’ serious gaze with hers when she stated, “Yes, I will.”

Would Iris ever feel secure enough to stand in front of God and proclaim her undying love and support to a man? Iris glanced at Fergus just as he looked back in her direction. She dropped her eyes to her hands and felt her face redden because he caught her looking at him.

“Da,” Angus interrupted his father.

“Would you mind if we finished with our own words, after you pronounce us husband and wife?”

“That’s fine. Wait until after the benediction.”

Angus took Daisy’s hands again as he smiled at her.

“Angus and Daisy, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in holy Matrimony, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the giving of this ring and the joining of your hands, I now declare you to be husband and wife.”

Pastor raised his right hand and prayed, “May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance unto you, and give you peace. Amen.

“Son, your turn, but don’t forget to kiss your bride.”

Everyone in the congregation chuckled as they waited to see what Angus had planned.

“I want to do this in honor of my parents, and in memory of my mother and your parents.

“We’ve said parts of the wedding vows to each other ever since…we started falling in love actually, all in teasing, but at the same time it was preparing us for today.
