Chapter 22 - RENEWING THE VOWS
On their sixth wedding anniversary, Marcus and Elena renewed their vows in a private ceremony on their ranch.
A small white arch decorated with Texas wildflowers stood overlooking the sunset horizon.
Elena wore a delicate white lace dress, holding a bouquet of blue bonnets and white roses.
Marcus stood waiting for her in a classic charcoal suit, smiling as Alexander toddled toward him holding the rings.
"I promised to protect you six years ago, Elena, and I promise to love you for eternity," Marcus stated emotionally.
"You saved my life and gave me a family, Marcus. You are my hero," Elena replied softly.
They exchanged rings under the vast Texas sky as their closest friends cheered warmly around them.
