Chapter 112. The Grand Wedding

**112\. The Grand Wedding**

***Third Person's POV***

Sabrina had always dreamed of a classic white bridal gown with a beautiful veil that trailed gracefully behind her. And today, her dream had come true-just like finding her Angel.

Her "something old" was her mother's bracelet, a cherished heirloom left for her. Her "something new and something blue" was the stunning necklace Travis had gifted her just four days ago. And her "something borrowed" was a delicate hairpin from Chris.

Mark had handed her the hairpin with a heartfelt smile, saying, "I don't have a real sister, Sab, but you've always been one to me."

Tears welled in Sabrina's eyes at his words, but Mrs. Ann, ever the practical woman, swooped in to stop her. "No crying, darling! You'll ruin your makeup," she chided gently, dabbing at Sabrina's face.

The morning had gone off without a hitch, as was expected-this was Sabrina's wedding, after all. And if there was one thing everyone knew, it was that Sabrina could make anything happen, especially with the incredible support she had from all corners of her life.

"Are you ready, Sabrina?" Mr. Adams asked, his voice steady yet filled with pride as he stood by her side.

Before she could answer, Mark interjected with his usual humor. "Yes, but your soon-to-be husband is practically burning holes in my back with his death stares. Four days of separation must've been too much for him."

Sabrina rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress the smile tugging at her lips.

Yes, Mark had been the mastermind behind keeping Sabrina and Travis apart for the past four days. Travis had been livid when he learned of the plan, calling it "completely absurd," but Mark, with Wynter firmly on his side, had stood his ground.

When Travis had argued, asking why Mark didn't do the same for his own wedding, Mark had responded with a smug grin. "Simple-I had a courthouse wedding. No fancy suits, no big event, no separation needed."

Travis had no choice but to relent, though not without plenty of grumbling.

Now, standing in her dressing room, Sabrina smoothed the delicate lace of her gown one final time, catching her reflection in the mirror.

"Oh my god, you look stunning," Chris gasped as she walked in, her expression filled with awe.

Mark, ever the joker, chimed in, "Yeah, I'm sure Travis would prefer to skip the formalities and take-"

"Mark!" Sabrina cut him off, glaring at him as her cheeks flushed bright red.

Mark smirked, completely unfazed. "Fine, fine. I'll stop. But let's not pretend we don't all know what's happening tonight," he teased with a wink.

Chris shook her head and pulled Mark toward the door. "Leave her alone. You can embarrass her later. Right now, we need to keep moving."

Sabrina let out a sigh of relief as the two of them left, her face still warm from Mark's comments. She turned to face Mr. Adams, her expression softening.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she smiled. "I'm ready," she said firmly.

Mr. Adams extended his arm toward Sabrina, who accepted it with a warm smile. As she placed her hand in his, butterflies stirred in her stomach, making her steps slightly unsteady as they started down the aisle.

Travis stood at the altar, his gaze fixed solely on her. He appeared impatient yet captivated, oblivious to the media's cameras clicking away. All that mattered to him at that moment was Sabrina.

The venue was nothing short of breathtaking, illuminated with an array of stunning lights that shimmered from every corner. Sabrina had insisted on an indoor wedding, preferring a controlled and meticulously organized setting. Money was no concern, so they secured the finest venue available. Plush chairs lined the aisle, adorned with exquisite floral arrangements that exuded elegance.

The centerpiece of the ceremony was an aqua-blue carpet that ran down the aisle, dividing the seating area into two neat sections. Every detail of the décor tied into the marine theme, a nod to Wynter's love for the ocean. The surrounding walls projected scenes of marine life, while the ceiling was adorned with twinkling lights that mimicked a starlit sky.

"Mama Iris, you look stunning!" Wynter's excited voice rang out as she spotted Sabrina approaching.

With a joyful smile, Wynter began scattering flower petals along the aisle. Sabrina couldn't help but grin at her daughter, her heart swelling with love. As she continued down the aisle, emotions overwhelmed her. Tears threatened to spill as she thought about how her parents' presence would have made this day even more perfect.

The guests were captivated by the bride, unable to take their eyes off her radiant beauty. But it was Travis's expression that stole the show. His eyes glistened with emotion as he watched her draw closer.

When Sabrina reached the altar, Mr. Adams placed her hand in Travis's. Before Travis could speak, Mark stepped forward with a pointed look.

"Just remember, if you hurt her again, you'll answer to me," Mark said firmly.

Travis chuckled softly, meeting his gaze. "Don't worry, buddy. Sabrina and Wynter are the most important people in my life. I'll treasure them for as long as I live."

Satisfied, Mark stepped aside with a smirk.

Wynter, serving as the ring bearer, stepped forward to present the rings. Sabrina bent down to kiss her daughter's forehead before taking the ring. As they exchanged the bands, Travis kissed Sabrina's hand, holding it tightly in his own.

The priest stepped forward, signaling the start of the ceremony. "Please repeat after me."

Sabrina raised her hand slightly. "Would it be all right if we said our own vows?"

The priest nodded graciously, gesturing for them to continue. Sabrina glanced around the room before beckoning Wynter over. Chris and Mark gently guided her forward.

"This isn't just about Nio and me becoming one," Sabrina began, her voice steady but full of emotion. "This marriage is about us uniting as a family. I want to pledge, in front of everyone here, to always love and cherish Wynter, just as much as I do Travis."

A murmur of admiration rippled through the crowd. Travis, clearly moved, stared at her as if she were his entire world.

"You may proceed with your vows," the priest encouraged.

Travis and Sabrina took Wynter's hands, one on each side, and Travis began to speak.

"I never thought I'd have a second chance at life," Travis began, his voice filled with emotion, "but I think I'm incredibly lucky to have found you. Words will never be enough to express how much you mean to me. Before you came into my life, I was just a lifeless body without a soul. But when you arrived, I started living again. You made me feel things I thought I was incapable of feeling anymore. Sab, thank you for stepping into my world, accepting me with all my flaws, and giving our daughter the love of a mother. We needed you, and I can't thank my princess enough for bringing you to us."

Travis's voice broke slightly as he finished, and Sabrina stepped forward to share her vows.

"I believe everything happens at the right time," Sabrina began, her voice steady yet brimming with emotion. "And in our case, we had to go through so much to get here. You're my prince charming, someone who walked into my life like a dream straight out of a fairytale. I never expected you to love me back, and honestly, I would have been okay with that because love, to me, isn't about being selfish. But when I looked at you, I could see past your walls-into your soul. I saw your loneliness, the battles you fought alone. I wanted to be the one to help you heal, and even if I couldn't, I vowed to never stop loving you.

"I found you at a time when I desperately needed someone to call my own, and you helped me find myself again." Sabrina turned to Wynter, her smile softening. "And then there's this little angel. I never thought I'd have someone to call me 'Mom' at this stage of my life, but everything happens when it's meant to, and I couldn't be more grateful. Wynter, every time I think about the future, I can't imagine it without you in it."

Wynter stood quietly, her bright smile lighting up her face as she witnessed her parents' heartfelt vows.

The priest stepped forward to guide the final part of the ceremony.

"In the name of God, I, Travis Armanio King, take you, Sabrina Iris Kline, to be my wife and mother to my daughter, Wynter Grizelle King," Travis recited, his voice deep and slightly raspy, "to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, until death do us part."

Sabrina looked into Travis's eyes, her own glistening with tears. "In the name of God, I, Sabrina Iris Kline, take you, Travis Armanio King, to be my husband, and Wynter Grizelle King as my daughter. I promise to love her as my own and to ensure she never feels the absence of a mother. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and adore, until death do us part."

The priest smiled warmly as he concluded, "And now, by the authority vested in me by God and the laws of this land, it is my great honor to declare you married. You may seal this union with a kiss. I am delighted to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Travis Armanio King, the newlyweds."

Sabrina couldn't hold back her joy. "And our daughter, Wynter Grizelle King," she added with pride.

Without hesitation, Travis stepped forward, lifting Sabrina's veil. His hands cradled her cheeks as he leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender, heartfelt kiss. Tears spilled down his cheeks as emotion overwhelmed him, and the audience erupted into applause and cheers.

As the kiss ended, Travis pulled Wynter into his arms, planting a kiss on her forehead. The three of them stood together, a perfect picture of love and unity, as the guests clapped and hooted in celebration.

The music transitioned smoothly to their reception, with the song "Never Let You Go" playing softly in the background. Travis and Sabrina shared a graceful first dance, their movements synchronized as if they were the only two people in the world.

During the dance, Travis leaned close to whisper in Sabrina's ear, "Now I understand why this song means so much to you."

She smiled, her heart full as they swayed together, knowing this moment was the start of their forever.
