Diana is excited and worried about her upcoming wedding to Tom.
However, her five-year-old son protests, shocking everyone and stopping the ceremony. Ethan reveals a secret that leaves everyone pale as the guests mumble in disbelief.
What potentially important information does Ethan know about Tom?
I stood among my bridesmaids in a small house by the garden.
The morning before the wedding I felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
The house had a wonderful floral scent and I could see visitors coming and settling in the windows.
In their soft lavender dresses, my bridesmaids surrounded me, fixed my hair, and styled my outfit.
As they laughed and talked, their happiness spilled over to me.
With a smile, I considered the path that had brought me here.
I have been seeing Tom for three years.
He was the perfect partner for me; he came into my life at the right time and fulfilled all my expectations.
I have been seeing Tom for three years.
He was the perfect partner for me; he came into my life at the right time and fulfilled all my expectations.
More importantly, my five-year-old son, Ethan, benefited greatly from having him as a father figure.
There was a unique affinity between Ethan and Tom. They built Lego castles, played with toy cars for hours, and had little adventures in the park.
My heart rejoiced to see them both together.
“Mommy, look at me!” Ethan’s words pulled me back to the present.
I turned to see him, his blue eyes shining with joy, standing proudly in his little suit.
I almost started crying because he looked so beautiful and mature.
I knelt next to Ethan and whispered, “You look so smart.” “Are you ready to help me today?”
“Yes, Mom!” he said with a smile. “I will be the best ring bearer ever!”
As I hugged him deeply, a wave of love and gratitude went through me.
This day was about our little family and the future we were creating together, not just about Tom and me.
I caught one of my bridesmaids, Kelly, peeking in as the cabin door opened. “Diana, the end is almost here. Are you ready?”
I took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, I’m ready.
I was in complete awe of the sight as we entered the garden and exited the cottage.
Tom was waiting for us at the altar where the flowers lining the aisle formed a beautiful walkway.
Everyone present was smiling and chatting happily.
It was the perfect backdrop for our unforgettable day.
“Ethan, are you ready?” he murmured, holding my son’s small hand.
He said, “ReadyMomm,” joy shining in his eyes.
With soothing music playing in the background, we walked down the aisle.
I could feel the warm smiles of our visitors adding to the joy of the occasion as their eyes fixed on us.
Ethan grabbed my hand and looked very cute in his suit. He walked with pride and confidence.
As we approached the altar, I noticed Tom’s wide smile and his joyful, loving eyes. My heart pounded with emotion and I felt a tear roll down my face.
I always dreamed of a man like Tom and today we lived the life we ​​always imagined.
“Daddy, look at me!” Ethan shouted in a voice full of pure joy.
Tom smiled even more and laughed.
“Champe, I see you. You look really intelligent.”
Ethan grinned and his small chest puffed out with pride. “I’m a big boy today!”
“You sure are!” Tom looked at me and answered. His expression said it all, even if it was non-verbal.
A new chapter in our family’s history began today.
When we got to the altar, Tom took my hand and I felt his strength. Diana, you look amazing,” he whispered.
“Thanks, Tom,” I smiled. “I can’t believe this is real.
He smiled and said, “It’s real.” “And it’s perfect.
I looked down to see Ethan grinning widely as he looked up at us. I whispered, “We did it, baby.”
He said, “We did it!” with pleasure that made him bounce on his tiptoes.
The birthday boy smiled and walked Tom and me through our vows.
“Do you take Diana as your wife, Tom?” The birthday boy smiled at her question.
Tom said, “Me,” never taking his eyes off me.
“And you, Diana, are you taking Tom as your husband?” The birthday boy continued.
“I do,” I said, my voice brimming with emotion.
The minister was ready to pronounce us husband and wife when a faint but determined voice spoke to us beside us. “I object!”
There was a gasp from the congregation. I looked back to see Ethan standing there looking serious. My heart skipped a beat.
What made him say that?
“Ethan honey why are you protesting?” I knelt so we were at eye level and asked.
Ethan’s tiny hand trembled as he picked up the tiny worn rattle.
“Mom, Tom has another family! I heard him talking about his daughter with his mother. Mom, is Tom betraying you? He asked.”
The crowd began to whisper, their voices growing more intense. I turned to face Tom and felt a knot rise in my stomach.
Tom looked as shocked as I did and everyone’s faces turned pale. He parted his lips to say something, but nothing came out.
The clerk looked confused between us and the guests.
“Ethan, what do you mean?” I asked gently, trying to grasp it. “What did you hear?”
Ethan lowered his eyes to the floor. “I overheard Tom discussing his daughter with his mother.
I didn’t know about his daughter, even though he claimed he had one. Mom, why didn’t he tell us?”
I took a deep breath as I tried to understand what Ethan was saying. I looked at Tom who finally started to speak.
He turned to face the gathering and said, “Guys, I can explain.”
I stopped him by raising my hand. “Ethan, are you sure you heard that right?”
He said firmly, “Yes, Mom,” his little face was serious. “Tom said he had a daughter.
Tom looked at me and took a long breath. There was a lot of whispering in the audience and everyone was waiting for an explanation.
One of the guests whispered to the other, “What’s going on?”
“Did you hear what the little boy said?” Someone else mumbled, looking confused.
Someone said, “Is there another family?” in a worried tone.
The muttering stopped when I remarked, “Well, Tom, I think it’s time you told the truth.”
Tom stepped closer and grabbed my hand.
Looking at the crowd, he turned to Ethan.
You heard right Ethan, my friend. It’s not what you think, but there’s a baby in it,” Tom remarked.
There was another loud gasp among the group. Tom took Ethan in his arms and held my hand tightly.
Tom smiled broadly as he turned to greet our guests.Â
“We’d like to share the news with everyone that we’re expecting a baby. You’re going to be a big brother, Ethan.”
“Oh my!” someone shouted.
Another person said, “God, I didn’t expect this!”
The collective astonishment of the audience gave way to applause and screams. The tension was replaced by joy and enthusiasm.
“Are you serious? I’m going to be a big brother.” Ethan asked excitedly.
With tears of happiness streaming down my cheeks, I hugged him tightly. “Yes, baby you will be the best big brother ever.
Tom hugged and hugged us both. Sorry, Ethan if we misunderstood you. Today we decided to give everyone a surprise.’
Ethan’s eyes lit up with understanding. “Are we going to have a baby?”
“Exactly, champion,” laughed Tom.
“We’re going to have a baby.”
The atmosphere was now one of celebration and laughter as the crowd cheered. With a big smile, the birthday boy picked up where we left off. “Well, this is a very memorable day! Let’s do the ceremony one more time.”
After a short while the vows were said and Tom and I were pronounced husband and wife. We sealed our vows to each other and our growing family with a kiss.
Later that evening I watched Tom and Ethan play together as the sun set and the garden was illuminated by a soft golden glow. I was very happy and satisfied.
Even though our journey together was just beginning, it was already overflowing with love.
An unexpected turn of events during the ceremony turned what could have been a disaster into a joyous revelation. When Ethan shared the surprising news about Tom’s daughter, the tension in the air changed dramatically. Instead of sadness and confusion, the couple found an opportunity to celebrate the new addition to the family. Tom’s ability to quickly clarify the situation and announce the impending arrival of the baby turned moments of uncertainty into moments of excitement and joy.
Diana’s relief was palpable as she hugged Ethan, knowing their family was growing beautifully. The bond between them deepened and the realization that Ethan was about to become a big brother added another layer of happiness to the day. The couple’s love for each other, strengthened by their shared commitment to their son and their new baby, created a solid foundation for their future together.
As the ceremony continued, it became a celebration of not only their marriage but their growing family. Surrounded by friends and family who joined in the joy, Diana felt the sense of completeness she longed for. The garden, once the backdrop for her wedding, now stood as a symbol of hope and new beginnings.
Later that evening, as Diana watched Tom and Ethan play together in the golden glow of the sunset, Diana understood that this was just the beginning of their journey as a family. The love and laughter they shared got them through the challenges ahead, and she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the life they were building together. With each passing moment, it became clear that their love story was just beginning, filled with the promise of adventure, laughter, and a growing family.
