Diana felt a whirlwind of emotions as she prepared to marry Tom—happiness, excitement, and a hint of nervousness.
But just as she was about to walk down the aisle, her five-year-old son, Ethan, brought everything to a standstill with a single word: “I object!” The stunned silence of the guests quickly turned into murmurs of confusion.
What could little Ethan possibly know that could unravel Diana’s perfect day? The day had started in the cozy cottage by the garden, where Diana was surrounded by her bridesmaids. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers, and the sound of laughter echoed softly. Her bridesmaids, dressed in lavender, fluttered around her, making last-minute adjustments to her hair and dress. Through the window,
Diana could see the guests arriving, their joyful chatter filling the air. The day had a dreamlike quality, and she couldn’t help but smile as she thought about the journey that had brought her to this moment.Tom had come into Diana’s life three years ago, at a time when she needed him most. He had been her rock, her confidant, and, most importantly, a wonderful father figure to Ethan.
The bond between Tom and Ethan was extraordinary—they were inseparable, spending hours playing together, building Lego castles, and going on little adventures in the park. Seeing them together always warmed Diana’s heart. “Mama, look at me!” Ethan’s voice pulled Diana back to the present. She turned to see him standing proudly in his tiny suit, his blue eyes sparkling with excitement.
He looked so grown-up and handsome that Diana’s eyes filled with tears. “You look so smart, Ethan,” she said, kneeling to his level. “Are you ready to help me today?” “Yes, Mama!” he exclaimed with a wide grin. “I’m gonna be the best ring bearer ever!” Diana hugged him tightly, her heart swelling with love. This day wasn’t just about her and Tom; it was about their little family and the future they were building together.The door to the cottage opened, and Kelly, one of Diana’s bridesmaids, peeked in. “Diana, it’s time. Are you ready?” Taking a deep breath, Diana nodded. “Yes, I’m ready.” As they stepped out into the garden, Diana was overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. The aisle was lined with flowers, creating a picturesque path to the altar where Tom stood, waiting. The guests, all smiles and warm greetings, were ready to witness this special day. “Ethan, are you ready?” Diana whispered, squeezing his little hand.
