Bettie Ramirez, do you promise to marry Lance Carter, love him always, respect and protect him, in sickness and health, rich or poor, till death do you part?
Yes, I do. As Lance gazed at her intensely, Bettie looked away.
Even though she knew this wedding was just for show, her heart raced.
Congratulations! I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Carter, would you like to say something?
Just then, Jennie brought over a glass of water and set it in front of Kaleb. Here you go.

Then, Jennie settled back on the sofa, continuing to watch the live broadcast of the wedding.
Lance took the microphone and said, Thank you all for coming to my wedding. Today is the most important day of my life. Ive finally achieved my dream of marrying the love of my life! Bettie and I have known each other for twelve years.
Lance looked into Betties eyes and continued, When we first met, your energy and beauty took my breath away. I knew we came from different worlds. You reached out, held my hand, and gave me the courage to fight for our future. Later, things changed, and we were apart for seven years. Every night in a foreign country, I couldnt sleep. Only by thinking of our past could I find peace.
Bettie looked down, memories rushing back. She felt a deep sadness inside.
When I returned, I was both happy and scared. I worried you had moved on and we couldnt go back. I acted cool, hiding my true feelings. Luckily, our story resumed. Honey, thank you for giving me this chance. From now on, Ill always be with you. Well share every spring, summer, autumn, and winter for the rest of our lives

After Lances speech, the emcee asked, Mr. Carter, what does she mean to you?
She is my life, Lance announced earnestly.
Wow! the emcee exclaimed and the audience burst into applause.
Sabrina watched the stage, listening to Lance closely. Holding the phone for Jennie to catch Betties wedding, she patted the back of her hand with her other hand.
Tyrone whispered to Sabrina, Youre my life, too. No, youre even more important.
Sabrina simply laughed.
Tyrones voice was caught by Sabrinas phone, and Jennie, Kaleb, and Zandra heard him clearly.
Jennie laughed out loud. Thats my dad!
Kaleb didnt comment on this.
The emcee turned to Bettie now. What do you want to say after hearing his heartfelt words?
Thank you for your patience and being with me. I believe well go on together.
The emcee, surprised, asked, Anything else?
No. Bettie blushed. She thought it was just a formality and wasnt ready for such a heartfelt speech. She had never expected Lance to say so much!
Alright. Lets move on to the next step
