Thank God for Texas weather. Is it any wonder that I love it here? Jake had his heart set on a Christmas wedding. I wanted it to take place outside: among the trees that we planted together; on land my family has called home for generations. And here we are—with both of our wishes fulfilled.

Yesterday was overcast, with precipitation predicted overnight. And I was in serious danger of losing my micromanaging mind. But that was then, and this is now. And today...

The day is perfect—the sky above is blue, the air is warm and dry, the pollen is minimal. A light dusting of snow, pristine and white, covers the ground.

The moment is perfect; our family is here, surrounding us, sharing our joy—just like they should have been the first time. Watching proudly, happily as we pledge our lives and our hearts to one another; as we exchange vows and rings; as we’re pronounced married for the second—and hopefully the last—time in our lives; as we reach for each other, both of us leaning in for that first married kiss.

The man in my arms is...well, I’m sure he’d be the first to tell you that he’s far, far from perfect. But, the truth is, he’s perfect for me. Always was. Always will be. And that’s really all that matters.

As the two of us lock lips with each other; both of us trying as hard as we can to keep things PG, for the sake of the kidlets—which, given that Jake is newly released from the hospital and it’s been weeks since we’ve shared a bed, is something of a struggle—I hear the first of the carriages that will carry us (Jake and I, as well as anyone else who might need a little extra help) to the reception pull into place at the end of the walkway.

Jake shudders against me. When he pulls away, I notice that there’s a vaguely haunted look in his eyes. “What was that? Do you hear bells?”

“Yeah.” I gesture toward the alley, where one of the horses is stamping and shaking his head. “Sleigh bells. See?”

“Right, right.” He breathes out a long, heavy sigh, mumbles quietly, “I forgot about that.”

“You look disappointed. Were you hoping for something else?”

“What? No! I’m just...surprised. But you know, now that you mention it, I am a little surprised. The barn’s not that far, you know. We could’ve walked it.”

“With you and Tim both just out of the hospital? I don’t think so.”

“Or a UTV.”

“Not. Romantic,” I explain to him, hopefully for the last time. “With a capital N.R.”

Jake smiles. “I suppose you’re right.”

“You’ll get your strength back,” I promise him, as we make our way through the crowd, hand in hand, pausing here and there for hugs and handshakes. “It’ll just take time. But sometimes you’ve got to crawl before you walk.”

“I know,” Jake agrees. “Or before you fly.”

“Ohhh, now I get it,” I say as we stop beside the carriage. Instead of climbing into it, I take hold of my husband’s shoulders.
