The church was decorated in royal fashion for the holiday wedding of Ardena’s king and the Tesorian princess. In addition to the enormous wreath over the arched entranceway, there were evergreen garlands wrapped around the balcony railings. Gold bows marked the ends of the pews and a mountain of Christmas flowers bordered the steps to the alter. But Dante had barely noticed any of the decorations. He was waiting for his bride, and not very patiently.

Now that the day was finally here, he wanted it to be done. He wanted Marissa as his wife so they could officially start their life together.

Then, finally, she was there. The first glimpse of his bride at the back of the church simply took his breath away.

He didn’t know enough about bridal fashions to recognize that the Roman-inspired asymmetrical dress was made of layers of snowy chiffon with a wide band of beading at the empire-style waist. He just knew that she was absolutely stunning. And with every step she took toward him, the joy in his heart continued to swell until it overflowed and filled every part of him.

She was his bride. His goddess. His heart.

And when he spoke his vows, he didn’t hesitate or falter. Although the words had been spoken by countless grooms before him, he felt as if they’d been written from his heart. And when it was Marissa’s turn, her gaze was just as steady, her voice as clear.

Church bells were ringing in celebration of the union of Ardena’s king and his new queen as they exited the church…just in time to see the first flakes of snow begin to fall from the sky.

“You told me it wouldn’t snow,” the bride said.

“What I said was that the forecasters were probably wrong when they predicted snow because it hasn’t snowed in this part of the country in more than fifteen years,” her groom reminded her.

“It’s snowing now.”

“Which proves that today is a day of miracles.”

“More than you probably know,” she murmured, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

His gaze dipped to her belly as anticipation jumped in his own. “Baby?” He barely mouthed the word, wanting to ensure his question couldn’t possibly be overheard.

She nodded, her eyes filled with both joy and uncertainty.

He knew how eager she was to start a family, so he guessed that any hesitation she was experiencing was a result of not knowing how he would respond to the news. He was more than happy to reassure her. “That is absolutely the best Christmas present you could give me.”

Her lips curved. “In that case, Merry Christmas, Your Majesty.”

And then, right there at the top of the steps and with thousands of jubilant Ardenans watching, the king kissed his queen.
