Those words echoed in Ethan’s mind, filling his heart with uncontainable joy. A broad grin spread across his face, and he chuckled softly. “Say it again,” he urged, his voice full of excitement.
“I love you,” Lily repeated, her smile lighting up her face.
“Again,” he insisted, his eyes sparkling.
“I love you,” she said once more, a playful warmth in her tone.
“Once more,” he whispered as he pulled her even closer, holding her in his embrace.
“I love you, Ethan-”
Before she could finish, Ethan captured her lips in a kiss. It was gentle yet filled with passion, as though he was pouring every ounce of his love into that one moment. Between kisses, he murmured, “I love you too, Lily. I love you more than anything.”
He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, then swept her off her feet, lifting her into his arms. Twirling her around, his joyous laughter filled the room. “I’ve never felt this happy before!” he exclaimed. “Lily, I love you!”
Their laughter echoed in the house, blending with the warm and romantic atmosphere that surrounded them. For Ethan, her confession was the final piece of the happiness he had long dreamed of. Falling in love with her had been a blessing, marrying her was a dream come true, but hearing her say those words–that she loved him–made him feel like the luckiest man in the world.
If anyone had ever asked him about the happiest moment of his life, he would have said it was the day Lily agreed to marry him. Or perhaps the day they exchanged vows. But now, as he held her in his arms, he realized that every day with her would be the happiest as long as she was by his side. She had become his happiness, his reason to smile, and his purpose.
Ethan had waited patiently for this day. He had always known about the pain and betrayal she had suffered, and he had been determined to take things slowly, never rushing her. He understood her fears about falling in love again, but he had also believed in the strength of his love for her. And now, as he looked at her, he felt that every moment of waiting had been worth it.
Gently, he set her back on the ground and kissed her lips again, his smile brighter than ever. The joy radiating from his face made him look even more handsome. “You are my world, Lily,” he said earnestly. “I could never imagine living without you. You said I made you believe in love again, but do you know what you’ve done for me?”
He took her hands in his, his voice filled with emotion. “You’ve shown me what love truly is. Before you came into my life, I was cold, distant, and indifferent. People called me heartless, ruthless, a block of ice, and even a devil. And to be honest, they weren’t entirely wrong. Apart from my mom and sister, I never cared for anyone or anything. I never showed my emotions. My words were few and guarded, like they were made of gold.”
He chuckled softly, his eyes glinting with humor. “But look at me now. You’ve turned me into a chatterbox, Lily. You’ve changed me in ways I never thought possible.”
His tone softened, and he gazed at her with nothing but love. “Loving you feels incredible. Lily, just like ovvoen is essential for life vou are essential for my heart to heat I can’t imagine life without you. I love you

so much, Lily.”

Wrapping his arms around her, he held her close, as if he never wanted to let go. In that moment, everything felt perfect. Their love was all that mattered, and they knew they were meant to face every tomorrow together, hand in hand.
Lily tightened her embrace around Ethan, her eyes sparkling with warmth as she gazed up at him. A soft, playful smile curved her lips as she asked, “So, my dear husband, do you think it’s time for us to get married
now?”
Ethan blinked in surprise, caught off guard by her sudden question. “Huh?” he muttered, confused. Then, as realization dawned, his gaze wandered around the room. The decorations, the romantic ambiance, the perfectly set atmosphere–it all started to make sense.
His eyes trailed down to his suit, which he now noticed matched her elegant dress perfectly. Everything about this moment had been thoughtfully planned. Looking back at her with a mix of awe and curiosity, he asked, “Wait… how? When did you-”
Lily giggled softly, placing her fingers against his lips to hush him. “Just wait,” she said, gently removing his arms from her waist. She walked over to a nearby table and pressed play on a small tape recorder.
From the speakers, a deep male voice echoed through the room, calm and steady, carrying the familiar cadence of a wedding officiant.
Ethan raised an eyebrow, his expression puzzled as he watched Lily walk back to him. She slipped her hands into his, her fingers warm and steady. Meeting his gaze, her eyes glimmered with affection.
The voice continued. “Mr. Ethan, do you take Miss Lily to be your wedded wife? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, and cherish her in sickness and in health, until death parts you?”
Ethan’s heart swelled at those words. The moment felt surreal, yet it was exactly what he had dreamed of. A bright smile lit up his face as he nodded. “I do,” he said, his voice steady and filled with emotion.
The officiant’s voice resumed. “Miss Lily, do you take Mr. Ethan to be your wedded husband? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, and cherish him in sickness and in health, until death parts you?”
Lily smiled softly, her heart brimming with happiness. Without hesitation, she replied, “I do.”
“Now, you may exchange your vows,” the voice prompted.
Taking a deep breath, Lily spoke first. Her voice was tender yet resolute, carrying the weight of her love and commitment. “Ethan, you are my everything now. You give me strength where I am weak, and you bring light to my dreams. Today, I promise my life to you. Wherever life takes me, I know that my home will always be with you. As long as you’re by my side, I’ll always be where I’m meant to be.”
Her words left Ethan speechless for a moment, his emotions visible in the glistening of his eyes. Holding her hand close, he pressed a kiss to her palm before he began his vows.
“Lily,” he said, his voice steady and full of conviction, “I vow to hold you close forever. When you feel weak, I promise to fight your battles for you. Your burdens will be my burdens; your joys will be my joys. I will share your responsibilities and ease your worries. With every beat of my heart, I will love you endlessly. I choose to spend every today and every tomorrow with you. And today, I give you the most sacred promise I can make–I give you all of me.”
Lily tilted her head slightly, her smile growing wider as she whispered, “Forever and always?”

Without missing a beat, Ethan nodded, his eyes filled with unwavering devotion. “Forever and always,” he promised.
Their eyes locked, and for that moment, it felt as if time itself had paused to witness their love. Wrapped in each other’s embrace, they knew their bond was unbreakable, a love that would truly last until eternity.
