Margaret Swanson was clad in a long blue-and-white maxi-dress and a lacy white shawl. She held a copy of Thor and Cassie's wedding vows in her hand and smiled warmly at Justin and Cassie as they approached the dais.
But now, Cassie only had eyes for Thor. He looked stunning in his tux, and the expression of yearning admiration on his face was probably matched by her own expression.
When they reached the dais, Justin ceremoniously lifted her hand from the crook of his arm and placed it in Thor's outstretched hand. He bent to give her a quick kiss on the cheek before taking his place in the front row of seats, next to Elle Swanson.
Thor's fingers tightened around Cassie's as they turned to face Margaret.
"You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen," he whispered, and Cassie's cheeks grew hot in response.
"Dear family and friends," Margaret began, "thank you so much for joining us here on Cassie and Thor's special day, to witness their vows and their promises to each other…"
It's a really beautiful day, and I am truly blessed, Cassie thought, filled with amazement and deep gratitude as she stood with her hand in Thor's and listened to Margaret recite the wedding ceremony.
She was safe at last, empowered by love and freedom to choose her own destiny. Wherever she went from here, and whatever she ended up doing with her life, she knew that Thor would be always be at her side.
Together, they could do anything.
