CHAPTER 49

The next day Anna called her dad to tell him the news even though he already knew.

"Jackson McAlister," he answered his phone.

"Daddy."

"Anna," he said happily. "Things must be going well you sound happy."

"I am really happy." she told him. "Paul asked me to marry him last night."

"So what did you say?"

"I said yes of course." she said happily. "December tenth daddy put it down on your calendar, that's when we're getting married."

"I wouldn't miss it Anna," he told her. "Plan the wedding of your dreams, whatever you need just ask."

"Thanks daddy," she said.

Paul and Anna made their way over to Sam's after she talked to her dad. Everyone else was already there when the two of them arrived.

"You two are late," Jacob said.

"Sorry I had to call my dad," Anna told him and he nodded.

"He's out of town again?" Aimee asked as she slipped her hand in Jacob's.

"Always," she sighed. "Anyway Aimee I was thinking maybe we could go for a walk and talk a little," she added. "That way," she said and pointed with her left hand.

"Of course we haven't….." Aimee stopped as she glanced at her hand. "OH MY GOD!" Aimee exclaimed. 'Is that what I think it is?" she asked excited.

"Uh-huh!" Anna smiled as Aimee grabbed her hand.

"Oh wow that's beautiful!" she sighed. "Good job," Aimee said to Paul.

"Thanks," he said.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked confused.

"Anna and Paul are engaged," Aimee told him and she showed Anna's hand to Jacob.

"Oh wow!," Jacob smiled. "Congratulations!" he exclaimed and gave him a friendly pat on the back.

"Thanks," Paul smiled.

About four months later

Anna stood in a room looking at herself in the mirror. Today was the day she would be marrying Paul. She knew Paul would look incredibly handsome in his tux. She took a deep breath and ran her hands over her dress as there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Anna said and the door opened and Aimee walked in with Jacob.

"Anna you look beautiful," Aimme said as her eyes teared up. "I can't believe my best friend is getting married." Anna smiled.

"You look gorgeous Anna banana," Jacob told her and kissed her cheek. "Paul is going to…I don't know if there are words to describe what he'll think when he sees you." Jacob smiled. "But you look so beautiful." she smiled.

"Thanks Jake," she told him. "You're looking really handsome in that tux," she told him, he tugged on his jacket and smiled.

"I do clean up good," he said.

"Aimee you look beautiful to," she told her as she looked at Aimee in her floor length silver bridesmaid dress.

"Thanks," Aimee smiled as there was a knock on the door and her dad walked in.

"Anna, you look so beautiful," her dad told her. "I can't believe your getting married today," he said. "I wish your mom could be here."

"Me to daddy," she smiled.

"Well its time to start," he told them. "Which is good because Paul is looking really anxious and fidgety in that tux."

"Don't worry he's not going to bolt or anything," Jacob assured them. "He knows I would drag his ass right back here." he added and Anna smiled

"Lets do this guys," Anna said and they all left the room to line up. The music started to play and everyone lined up to walk in. Once Aimme and Jacob took their places Anna heard the music start and the doors opened and she stepped inside with her dad. She glanced at Paul and saw what her dad meant, he did look really anxious but he also looked really sexy in the tux.

When the doors opened Paul looked and saw Anna and she looked gorgeous. Her hair hung in spiral curls, she wore a simple white beaded barrette in her hair. Her dress was a floor length white gown, her shoulders were bare, but the gown was fitted at the top from her breasts to her waist where it started to flare out. The dress had embroderied designs on it with crystal beading and sequins. The back had a semi cathedral train. She held a simple bouquet of red and white roses in her hands. Anna and her dad finally made it t the front where he placed her hand in Pauls and took his seat. Anna handed her bouquet off to Aimee and Paul took her other hand in his.

"You look so beautiful," he whispered.

"You look really sexy in that tux," she whispered back and the minister began their ceremony, Paul and Anna decided to write their own vows to each other.

"Anna, meeting you that day at First Beach changed my whole life. You've made me a better person and changed my whole life," he told her. "I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life loving you and making you happy." Anna smiled as a tear ran down her cheek.

"The day I met you I definitely wasn't looking for a boyfriend or anything really. But meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you so much, more than I can convey using words. You complete me in a way no other guy ever could and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Paul and Anna exchanged rings and then everyone made their way to the reception. When Anna threw her bouquet Aimee caught it and smiled over at Jacob. Then the two of them went off on their honeymoon to Hawaii a gift from Anna's dad.

Five years later

Anna and Pau had two kids, the first was a girl they named Sierra and the second was a boy they named Cole, she was also pregnant with their third child. Anna's dad still worked out of town some but he spent more time at home visiting and spoiling his grandchildren. Anna never imagined her life would have worked out the way it did but she had never been happier in her life, she got everything she ever wanted.
