grooms’ siblings, starting with Lucas and Landon Abbott.” The identical twins walked into the tent holding hands and acting like the buffoons they were to hysterical laughter from the guests. “Let’s see if Hannah Roberts and Hunter Abbott can top that . . .” Unlike their younger siblings, the older set of Abbott twins showed more decorum as they walked into the tent. “Next we have Ella and Max Abbott followed by Charley and Wade Abbott. Let’s put our hands together for our flower girl, Simone Mulvaney!”
    Simone went skipping into the tent to thunderous applause.
    â€œShe’s eating it up,” Lucy said.
    â€œShe’s adorable,” Colton said.
    â€œShe’ll be playing wedding every day from now on after this,” Cameron said.
    â€œLadies and gentlemen, please offer a round of applause for our maid of honor and best man, soon-to-be husband and wife themselves, Lucy Mulvaney, best friend of the bride, and Colton Abbott, brother of the groom!”
    â€œHere we go,” Lucy said, holding hands with Colton as they went into the tent.

    TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE of a moment alone, Will put his arms around Cameron and leaned in for a kiss.
    Cameron looked up at him. “I never told you how incredibly handsome you look today, or that you were absolutely right about the ties.”
    â€œAbsolutely right, huh?”
    â€œDon’t get used to that. I don’t expect it to be a regular thing.”
    He was still laughing when the DJ asked everyone to get on their feet to welcome their bride and groom, “Mr. and Mrs. Will Abbott!”
    Mrs. Will Abbott
 . . . Walking into the tent on the arm of her husband, Cameron marveled at the magical atmosphere Regan had created. She’d seen sketches and heard the ideas, but seeing it all come together was nothing short of spectacular. Will’s whispered “Wow” confirmed he was impressed, too.
    Everything had been done in shades of gold with fall accents. Tea lights had been strung throughout the tent, which, coupled with the candles and flowers on the tables, contributed to the cozy, intimate feel. Cameron loved it.
    They went directly to the dance floor, where their wedding party waited to welcome them for their first dance as husband and wife. After much deliberation, they’d gone with “All of Me” by John Legend, even though Will had joked that every bride and groom in America was currently choosing that song.

    â€œImperfections? What imperfections?”
    She loved that potent smile of his, and even more, she loved that she’d get to see it every day for the rest of their lives.
    The DJ invited Colton and Lucy to join them on the dance floor, and the four of them finished out the song together. When the song ended and the applause died down, the DJ asked the rest of the wedding party to join the bride and groom on the dance floor for “All You Need Is Love.”
    â€œMy dad will love you forever for choosing this song,” Will said as he spun Cameron around.
    â€œThat’s why I chose it.”
    Naturally, Lucas and Landon hammed it up and had everyone laughing hysterically. Then Landon snagged Regan’s hand and dragged her onto the dance floor, leaving his twin to pout comically on the sidelines while Regan tried to keep up with Landon.
    Having been bowled over by an Abbott brother herself, Cameron could empathize with the wedding planner, who didn’t seem to know what had hit her as Landon swung her around.
    â€œShould we rescue her?” Will asked.
    â€œI bet she’s perfectly capable of rescuing herself if need be.”
    Regan was saved when the DJ asked Patrick
