Eight months later 

On June 20th family and friends were gathered in a ballroom at the Hilton hotel. 

Raegan pulled McKenna's veil down. "Thank you Rae." She whispered 

"Anytime." She said 

McKenna swallowed back the lump in her throat. 

"Raegan I'll see you down there." Gabe said as he kissed her cheek and placed his hand on her growing baby bump. 

He came around to face his sister. "I can't believe I have to do this twice this year you and Gracie have grown into two beautiful women. Dad and mom are smiling down today. Although mom would be mad at you for making your own wedding cake." He said 

She let out a laugh. "We did it Mckenna. We made it together like we always have. Now it's all three of us building our own families. Granted I got a head start." He said 

"You always have." She said 

"I am the oldest. But I've had the best partner in crime in my little sister." He said 

"Yeah." She said 

"So let's get you to your groom." He said as he held out his arm. 

She linked her arm with her brother's and they went downstairs. Lucas was the best man and Rochelle was her maid of honor. They had her niece be the flower girl and Bucky's nephew be the ring bearer. 

Bucky smiled so big when the doors open he felt his heart skip a beat just like the first time he ever met her. 

"Who gives this woman to this man?" The minster said 

"I Gabriel Harlow in honor of our late parents Bryant and Melissa Harlow." Gabe said 

He kissed her cheek than sat down. 

The ceremony continued with the minister reading from the Bible and going on about love and marriage. It was finally time for the vows.

"James, from the moment we met that day you made me have butterflies. That hasn't changed you have continued to do so. You keep me sane you keep me reminding me how much I mean to you. I love the way we can talk for hours the way you surprise me with romantic dinners. You are the love that I always wanted. I'll never understand what you saw me but I don't regret it. You are the love of my life and I'm so thankful that you never gave up.I can't wait to start building our future together to have babies and love you till..till death do us apart." She said 

"McKenna, from the moment we met I was drawn to you. I couldn't get you out of my mind you helped me through so much. Sometimes all it took was a simple smile from you to remind myself to get out of my head. You are an amazing talented smart independent and sometimes a little stubborn. But you are the woman I love the woman I was meant to find and give my heart to. The woman that is everything to me. And like I always have told you,you much more than what you think you are. Cause to me you are the world baby my world. I love you Mckenna." He said 

They exchanged their rings and ended the ceremony with a kiss where Bucky dipped her and kissed her. 

They shared their first dance together to "To Make You Feel My Love" the Adele version.
