Sasha and Ben’s March wedding took place during a snow storm, but it never fazed the couple. All they knew was the happiness they felt about marrying their soul mate. The wedding guests weren’t worried about the inclement weather, either. They felt that attending such a jubilant occasion was worth a little discomfort.
Seth and Luke played a beautiful prelude before the ceremony. Emily Dwyer and Zach Bradbury were once again chosen as flower girl and ring bearer and kept up a running argument the whole way down the aisle. Their parents just smiled and shook their heads.
Marcus and Jake kept Ben from panicking too much and as Sasha walked down the aisle, escorted by Dean, his nerves quieted. She was his angel, his salvation, and the love of his life.
Dean gave Sasha’s hand to Ben, kissed her cheek and sat down.
“You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, sugar,” Ben whispered to her.
She smiled and blushed as Pastor John began the service. Ben had never been as serious about anything as he was about the vows he said to her. Sasha looked into the jade green eyes of the man who was becoming her husband and saw that gentleness had replaced the edgy anger that had been there before.
Over the past several months, her faith in Ben had been restored as she saw how much he’d changed. Ben had given up bouncing and fighting at the Watering Hole. His injuries had healed very well and Ben would take no chances of anything happening to his arm and hand again. Ben knew how lucky he was and wasn’t going to tempt fate again by willingly putting his hands in jeopardy.
Although he didn’t attend church on a regular basis, Ben did play piano some Sundays and he prayed every day and thanked God for the blessings in his life. Sasha went with him those Sundays and proudly watched him play. Her own faith was growing and she knew it was because of watching the ways in which Ben had changed.
When Sasha recited her vows, Ben saw her love for him in her eyes and his breath caught in his chest as the beauty of it struck him. Their kiss was filled with passion and promises. When they turned to face the congregation, Ben heard that whisper in his ear again and he smiled. He hadn’t heard it in a while, and he’d missed it. It was a happy message that made Ben grin as he walked out of the church to begin his new life with Sasha.
Sasha wondered what Ben was smiling about and asked him.
“Wendell was just doing a little well-wishing,” he told her.
She smiled and said, “It amazes me that that keeps happening to you.”
“I’ll never be able to explain it, but I’m grateful for his presence. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be here now. Well, Mrs. Walker, let’s go celebrate, shall we?”
Sasha’s eyes sparkled as she looked up at her husband and said, “Yes, Dr. Walker, we shall.”
At the reception, Ben played the song he’d played when he’d proposed to Sasha and she cried as she sat next to him. They danced and laughed throughout the party. Later they stole away to begin their honeymoon in Georgia. Ben had decided that even though his mother had refused to come to their wedding, he wanted to introduce Sasha to her and see if he could soften his mother’s heart a little.
As they rode away in their buggy that had been decorated for the occasion, Sasha snuggled close to Ben and kissed him often. Ben had shown her that he really was the man of her dreams and that he could be counted on. She couldn’t wait until they started a family.
Snow swirled around them as they drove home, but neither one of them noticed, so caught up in each other were they. They had weathered a much worse storm, and they now rode into their future confident that together they would be able to handle whatever tempests life sent their way.
