"To be honest I did cry the might you rejected me," he laughed.
"Like a baby, I should say," aunt Sam said stepping out of the dark.
"Your wife is right," Nonna stated stepping out from the shadows behind us.
"Hey I know nothing about ruling yet I would offer my services," dad said stepping out from behind a tree with mom.
"Me too," mom piped.
"I would help as much as I could," Lily said shooting up from behind a rose bush.
"I owe my services to your grandmother which is now extended to you so I am here for you Liam," Katlyn said walking from behind the fountain.
"You see there is nothing for you to worry about cariño," I said standing up in front of him.
"Thanks Alexandra," he smiled up at me.
"You know my grandson really well my dear," Nonna mused.
"Yeah I do," I smiled at him and he smirked.
"I know tomorrow is the big day and all but let's go out as a family and have some fun. We will go do the rehearsal, freshen up, change then we will take a walk in our country," Nonno spoke up.
"Fine by me," dad cheered and everyone else muttered their agreement.
An hour later I was dressed in a black tank top, black jeans and a white, short sleeve jacket with black heels, Liam in a white long sleeve jersey, black jeans and white slippers and we were downstairs.
"We are going to Venice. It is about a 20 minutes drive. When you reach, park at the waterfront," aunt Sam said.
We nodded and got in our separate cars.
"I wonder what they have planned," I mused when we entered Liam's car.
"I have a feeling we will be going on the waters," Liam replied turning in the air conditioning unit.

"You were right," I mumbled when the King summoned for a water taxi.
"Tonight we shall see the city from all angles. First we shall go to the Canale Grande, thence to Ponte de Rialto, then to the Bridge of Sighs and to close off the night we shall go to Restaurant Terrazza Danieli for dinner," the Queen sang.
"You are definitely going to enjoy tonight," Liam said as he helped me onto the taxi.
"I'm just happy that I am with you all," I smiled.

"I would like to propose a toast," I said picking up my glass and standing.When everyone picked up their respective glasses I continued,
"To my husband, you are an intelligent, caring and generous individual. Tomorrow you will be King and I want you to know that I will always be beside you every step of the way, every achievement and every disappointment. I love you so much Liam and I am eternally grateful that you granted me a second chance. To Liam."
