When Theo and Eloise arrived in Seaton, they were greeted by Theo's parents with open arms and warm smiles. The couple was pleasantly surprised by the genuine warmth and kindness that radiated from his parents. Despite their initial surprise, his parents embraced Eloise as if she were their own daughter, instantly making her feel like a part of their family.

Theo's parents were not only loving but also had remarkable personalities. They were vibrant and full of life, not letting age dampen their spirits. Eloise admired their zest for life and their unwavering love for their family. She soon discovered that Theo had inherited his father's sense of responsibility and his mother's nurturing nature, making her feel even more certain that she had found her perfect match.

In addition to meeting his parents, Eloise had the pleasure of being introduced to the Viscount, who had been instrumental in supporting Theo's education and serving as a benefactor to Theo's family. The Viscount took an immediate liking to Eloise, recognizing the genuine connection between her and Theo. He was delighted to hear of their impending marriage and gave his blessing wholeheartedly.

As Eloise settled into her new surroundings, surrounded by the love and support of Theo's family, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.

A few days later, in a quaint and intimate church, Eloise and Theo exchanged their vows, surrounded by a select few guests. The atmosphere was filled with love and joy as they embarked on their journey as husband and wife. Eloise was touched when the Viscount, who had become like a father figure to her, walked her down the aisle, symbolizing the bond they had formed.

During the ceremony, Eloise couldn't help but notice Louis, the Viscount's only son. He exuded kindness and warmth, much like his father, and she saw glimpses of Benedict in him. Having lost his mother at a young age and not having any siblings, Louis was thrilled to welcome Eloise as a sister. Their connection was instant, and Eloise felt a deep sense of gratitude for gaining not just a loving husband but also a newfound family.

The wedding itself was a beautiful and emotional affair. Even the typically composed Theo couldn't hold back his tears, which only added to the heartfelt atmosphere. Eloise, who had once held reservations about marriage, found herself embracing this moment with all her heart. She realized that through this wedding and elopement, she had not only found love but also regained a sense of family that she thought she had lost forever.

As the ceremony concluded and the celebration continued, Eloise felt overwhelmed with a sense of belonging. She had found a husband who cherished her, a loving and accepting parental figure in the Viscount, and a brother in Louis who filled the void she had felt for siblings. In that moment, surrounded by their small but loving gathering, Eloise knew that she had made the right decision in eloping and had gained far more than she could have imagined.
