I giggled, unable to hold back the sound at the ridiculous scene. Callahan and Caden pulled guns and aimed at the seagull but missed the screeching bird.
My eyes widened, and Lorcan shrugged. “They’re already too drunk to hit their target.” I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see a bird being shot from the sky on my wedding day, though the scene was really too good to miss.
After another round of shots, the bird dropped the hat and flew away. Unfortunately, the bird’s screeching and the overall excitement had triggered the wolfhounds, and they dashed toward the falling hat, thinking it was prey. Once they reached it, they ripped it apart within seconds.
The woman clutched her heart in utter shock, but Thomas quickly moved to her side and began talking to her. Soon, she was cackling. He sent me and Lorcan a quick wink before his face became his usual controlled mask again.
“I’d call that a good start to our wedding celebrations. It’ll only get more chaotic after this. That’s a Devaney family tradition.”
I bit my lip with a happy smile and leaned against Lorcan as I watched Finn grin as he chased Mum toward the dogs. People began to congratulate and hug us as we made our way down to the marquee where the reception with sparkling cider was taking place. My small white purse with embroidery that matched my dress held my phone, which had started vibrating. I glanced inside and saw it was a message from Imogen, congratulating us. I knew she must have asked her bodyguard or a nurse to write it, and I was incredibly touched. Lorcan squeezed my hand and kissed my temple.
Lorcan and I accepted glasses with the sparkling cider from the waitstaff. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely at ease. I beamed up at Lorcan as we both raised our glasses. Lorcan’s eyes reflected the same contentment that I felt. Finn appeared at the front of the guests with a glass of apple juice, and Lorcan motioned him forward. He rushed over and settled between us as we finally took our first drink as a married couple.
Most of the guests downed their cider in one deep gulp. Then, applause and whistles washed over us. Finn jumped up and down excitedly. I couldn’t stop smiling.
I knew life would keep throwing challenges at us, but Lorcan, Finn and I would handle them together.
The End
