Rebecca had been dressed in a beautiful ivory gown, and every little detail was perfect, from the delicate embroidery along the bodice to the flowing veil that rested softly over her dark hair. Rebecca looked absolutely breathtaking, and the happiness shining in her eyes made her more beautiful than anything else.

It was the look of a man who had finally found the happiness he never realized he had been searching for.
