“Don't worry Logan, brushed my teeth tis morning jus ike 1 do every morning and night” you say so” “But what about our permission, dad? you stl haven't asked us you an marry our mum” Dayton says and oll my eyes.

Usual, a man only has to ask one man if he can marry is daughter and thats her father but Logan is a unique case because he's asked my grandithes, my dad and my brother and now my thee munchkins want him to ask then Logan dict seem annoyed by Daytor's request instead. he chuckled att “Can marry your mom, my delightul brood?” Delightul.

“Logan, what about your" Logan Juror looked a his dad before looking at me and! sled at him Ianted to reassure him and let him know that he could be honest with us and that his answer worst hurt o offend us.

“1 quess you can 2 long a you don't hurt my mum” “Til never hurt your mom, Logan or you thee” Logan says while King the back of my hand “Good because 1 may be small right now but one day I'l be a bigger and stronger boy and Il hurt you really bad if you upset o hurt my “Ifthats the case then 1 defintely wort hurt your mom, son, the lat thing 1 want i o get on my eldest son's bad side” Logan sid while sounding ike he was fake scared of his son and Logan Junior looked al smug

“This made my heart flutter because this i a tiny step toward them trusting each other and building a bond.

We finally arrived at our destination after what felt lie forever and 1 let out a shaky breath when I saw the entrance to the Kensington and Chelsea registry office.

Oh my god, this is really happening, somebody pinch me.

“Tknow this isnt the wedding you've always imagined and dreamed you'd have, babe but this is just for now, 1 promise to give you a bigger and better wedding one day in the future” “Don't worry about it. this is perfect” Its not and its far from what I imagined when it came to my wedding but who cares, right?.

“The only thing that matters is that I'm marrying the man I love and our three little angels are here with us, sure, Id love our parents and siblings to be here with us but that's not possible right now and in all honesty, 1 dorit know i itl ever possible. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Logan, the kids and I got out of the car and I was surprised when I saw my grandparents, Ryker and his litle family standing outside of the registry office “Oh my god, what are you guys doing here?" “You didn't think I'd miss my brother and sister getting married, did you?" “Eww, dorit say it ike that, Ry, it sounds gross”

150i with a chuckle as he hugged me “You also didi expect to Get married without someone ging you away, ight babe?” Logan aid a he wrapped his arm around my waist.

brify looked up at him before looking over at my grandparents who were smiling happily and proudly at me and Iwas shocked that my grams had a bouquet of flowers in hr hand instead of the usual gin or martini glass My grams brisky walked over to me with huge smile on her face as she handled me the bouquet she was holding before embracing me in ahug “You look absolutely stunning, my darling" “Thank you, grams" “Although its tradition or the bride to wear chess to hr wedding, not this She sad whist waving her hand up and down my body.

“Not necesarly grams, besides, wee in London inthe heart of winter, there's no way Im wearing a dress inthis weather” Today's weather ist as bad as it normally t this time of year There’ no rain or snow and the wind ist as strong today which is goad thing because lightly curled my hair for the occasion and it looks good.

So does my make-up which jus natural and simple make-up but 2 all of my guys and gris ot there know its 0 annoying when you work hard on wht you ook ike just or awful weather to ruin ft.

“0k, fine” My grams ssid before clapping loudly stating everyone.

“So, ae we gonna get this show on the road then” “Yes, lets go"

We headed inside and were immediately greeted by a guy who seemed very friendly with my grandfather we were then escorted to. room where Logan and 1 would be getting married.

This may not be a regular wedding but Logan wanted to keep it 2 normal a possible by having Teddy be the lower gir and my grandparents giving me away to him.

“Take your coat off daring, you dorit want to marry Logan in tha, do you?™ She's right may not be nice and toasty i this place but 1 don't wanna wear my cost when 1 mary the love of my fe.

My grandmother helped me to take my coat off and put it somewhere safe sh then came back over to my let side while my grandfather 00d on my right ice.

“You look absolutly beautiful Lacey” “Thank you, gramps” Music started to play andl 1 knew this was my cue took a deep inhale in and slowly released it a the doors to the room opened Teddy walked in first sprinkling ite flair petals on th floor while my grandparents walked me down the aisle

Logan stood at the end of the aisle with our sons standing next to him and they were all smiling brightly at us.

When we got ta the end of the aisle, Teddy walked over to her brothers and took her usual place in between them as my gramps handed me over to Logan.

“You better look after my ite gil, Logan, she's my one and only granddaughter and I worit be a happy man if you hurt her or my great grandchildren” “Trust me, si that never happen” Logan smiled brightly at my grandfather and my heart skipped a beat.

God. this man is so gorgeous.

15tood in front of Logan and he held both of my hands in a fight yet comfortable grip.

The registrar started the ceremony and Logan made sure to keep his eyes solely focused on me and nobody else.

Before we did our vows, the registrar asked the eight other people in the room if any of them had a good reason why we shouldn't be married and I could tel from the look on my eldest son's face and also his body language that he was tching to say something but he.

didnt Logan and I then said our vows and 1 could see the iritation on my grandparents faces when they heard him say Lacey Wright and not Lacey Carpenter because in their eyes that's not my name but legally it is and since this is a legal proceeding, Logan had to say my legal name otherwise this would just be a waste of time.

“I Logan David Black take you Lacey Wright to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and cherish from this day forward" “I Lacey Wright take you Logan David Black to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and cherish from this day forward" “Now, t's time for the rings” Ryker stepped up as soon as the registrar mentioned the rings and handed two white gold bands to myself and Logan.

Inarmow my eyes at Logan who winked at me.

This asshole erally thought of everything “Logan place this ing on Lacey's finger an repeat afer me, with this ing I thee wed” “With this ing 1 thee wed Logan sad as he sid the small wedding band on my finger.

said the same declaration a I put the bigger band on Logan's wedding finger and my heart once again skipped a beat Holy st. cant belive tis.

tm marred to Logan Back.

Lam now offical Lacey Black.

Thisis crazy.

“It gives me great pleasure to announce you both as husband and vie, Mr and Mrs Black, Logan you may now Kiss your bride” “With pleasure” Logan sic ith a smirk as he cupped my face and kissed me ur family cheered and clapped a Teddy threw the remaining flower petals in here basket at us.
