One year later...

Having my hand rest on his arm feels so dreamlike. Never have I imagined my father walking me through the aisle on my wedding day. It's like asking for chickens to fly or fishes to walk if this was like a couple of years ago. Now that things are falling into place, I couldn't ask for more.

We chose to have our renewal of vows where it all started-- the Star of the Night cruise ship. We're also traveling back to Japan.

There's nothing like a wedding at the sea. With the big blue waves, birds flying together in the clear sky, and dolphins jumping and swimming in the ocean, it's such a breathtaking sight.

The cruise ship exclusively sailed for this celebration with our family and close friends. The ship is decorated with thousands of tulips in different hues.

Tony is waiting on the other side with a grin plastered on his face. I'm eternally grateful to God for this man's another chance in life. He gets to taste the blessing of becoming a father to our triplets. Every day is a new challenge to him especially with our two boys who are constantly bickering at each other and our cute baby girl who instantly turned out as a Daddy's girl. He performs his daddy duties with grace and joy.

I kiss Dad as we reach Tony's side. Dad gives a gentle reminder to Tony, "Take care of my girl. Don't ever leave her again."

He answers, "Absolutely, Dad."

Tony takes my hand, kissing it while he gazes at me. I respond with a warm smile.

I wear a fitted off-shoulder white wedding gown that humbly flaunts my soft curves while he looks stunning in his all-gray suit.

Tony started with his vow, "Love, with my previous vow, I told you that I'll be honest with you. I broke that promise. I admit that I wasn't completely honest with everything because of my greed. I won't make promises this time, just a gift. A gift of my life. This is my third venture in life and if it's my last opportunity, I'll risk everything for you and our children. I love you and our triplets.. and our future children." He's got a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, smirking at me.

"We already have three, you still want more?" I shoot him an unbelieving stare.

"Maybe three more triplets. It's more fun by the dozen." It's officially confirmed, he's crazy.

The guests go wild, some are in fits of laughter. Shaking my head, I smile. Now it's my turn to give my vow, "Love, your encouragement pushed me beyond my limits. Your faith in me makes me gain fresh confidence in music. Just a mere presence of eye candy in my life gives me so much joy." I chuckle and my girls whistle.

I continue, "We bring out the best in each other so let's go ahead and conquer greater heights as a family together. I love you, too, babe. Not just three more triplets, maybe four. The world's population is in dire need of more of those gorgeous genes." I wink.

He belly laughs, which is rare and priceless, and kisses my lips before the preacher even announce it, which made the latter clear his throat, "Okay, I don't want to ruin your moment, please go ahead and devour the bride."

Everyone claps, laughing hard like hyenas.
Tony does what he was told, taking my mouth in a passionate french kiss.

*Tony's POV*

Seven years later..

"Hey! Let go of her hand, she's mine!" Noah yells, removing Anthony's grip on her wrist. Noah pushes Anthony making him sprawl out on the floor.

Ayesha stomps on Noah's foot, making him whimper in pain while he jumps on one foot. She runs to Anthony's rescue, "You're so rude to my best friend! I'll never like you, Noah!"
