Chapter 58
"Alessandro Mason Mancini, you saved me in more ways than one. You took my sister and me in. You love her as your own; I admire your willingness to take me with my package. If it wasn't for you, I might not be here today, so for that, I must thank you. When we were apart, my heart broke into a million pieces; I thought, with time, I would fix it, but I was wrong. I could never fix it without you. And that is because you, Alessandro, are my heart. You make me happy. You bring joy, passion, and love into my life, and for that, I will forever be grateful. You'll be an amazing husband and father, and I can't wait to spend our lives together. I love you, Alessandro."
Lisa takes her thumb and wipes the tears running down his face.
The minister finishes up, and once they both say I do, Alessandro kisses her. Soon there are haulers and hoots along with clapping. He pulls away and looks her in the eyes.
"I can't wait for later. I got all sorts of plans for you, Mrs. Mancini." He smirks.
"I can't wait, Mr. Mancini." With that, his eyes go dark, and he kisses her again. This time it's short but hot.
The guests all get drinks and mingle. At the same time, the wedding party takes some pictures. When they are done, everyone sits down for dinner, and it's time to start the party.
."Will the bride and groom please come to the dance floor." Jake announced. Lisa and Alessandro walk to the dance floor. Christina Perri, a thousand years, starts to play.
"I will love you till my last breath," Alessandro whispers. Lisa looked up and smiled.
"And I will love you till my last breath." They dance until the song ends.
"I have a surprise for you," Alessandro tells her. He nods to Jake, and a 3-D image looks like her father.
"May I have this dance"? Grandpa asks. Lisa nods, looking at the image of her father following until it's on Grandpa. Michael Bolton's father and daughters never say goodbye and begin to play with photos of her and her father showing up in the dark sky.
If I could catch a star for you,
I swear I'd steal them all tonight.
To make your every wish come true
And every dream for all your life.
Lisa starts to cry softly. "I wish he was here, grandpa."
"I know, honey, but he will always be in your heart. I know he's looking down at you right now, smiling. He knows how beautiful you look today and that you married a wonderful man." Grandpa soothes her.
"He would've been proud of the woman you are today." Lisa cries, holding on to her grandfather. All the guests looked at the pictures, and Lisa danced with tears running down their faces. "This was very thoughtful of you, Alessandro," Johnny says.
"Thank you. I know how much she wishes that her father was here today, and I thought I would do this that somehow he will be here." He watches his wife holding her grandfather, crying. As the song ends, the image of her father walks into the sea and waves goodbye. Lisa looked up again, and there was a picture of her mother and father. Alessandro walks up to her.
"Thank you for doing this. It was very special." Lisa thanked him.
Later in the evening, Lisa and Alessandro greet everyone. He picks her up and walks up to the waiting car.
"We are going to spend the night at a hotel," Alessandro tells her when she looks at him, confused. Today was the best day of her life. Everything was perfect.
