4 years later.... (2025)

*Nini Pov*
"I, Nina Salazar-Roberts, take you Richard Bowen, to be my Husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." 

She couldn't believe they'd made it this far, they were currently getting married in their backyard of their home back in Salt Lake City. To catch up on the last few years after their engagement they moved to New York and started their degrees, they chose to wait until they were finished in New York to get married and spent the last 4 years engaged.

They explored the city and studied. She'd had the chance to study with the best at Julliard and Ricky at Columbia, They travelled during the summers and had seen most of the world with her favourite place being Paris as a small miracle happened there. One  night after a dinner they were both drunk and weren't thinking.

"Ricky, I'm pregnant" She told her boyfriend as tears filled her eyes "I don't know what happened we were being so careful" instead of being mad Ricky did the opposite "Nini, it's ok. We are going to be parents to this baby no matter what, this is our miracle. I know it wasn't in the plan but obviously it was our time. we can do this and your going to be an amazing mother."  As Ricky hugged her as she held onto the test in the middle of the hotel room."
9 months later they welcomed a daughter named Avery Rose Bowen.

She was currently 2 years old and was the cutest girl you'd ever see. They stayed in New York and moved back home as soon as they graduated so that Avery could be around family. She had come full circle and took a job teaching drama at East High while also performing at their local theatre. Ricky taught at the local middle school teaching music to kids.

They lived in a small 3 bedroom home that had a big backyard for Avery to play in as well as the perfect spot for their wedding. It was small and intimate with only their closest friends and family.
Finally they said their vows, their were tears and laughter and then the exchanging of the rings it was offical.

The officiant spoke, "And now, by the power vested in me by the State of Utah, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss". As her and Ricky kissed for the first time as man and wife it was special. "Family and Friends, I present to you, For the first time Mr and Mrs Bowen"

They made their way down the aisle as everyone cheered. She went to the bedroom to change into a white jumpsuit that she had bought for the reception and her and Ricky made their way back outside as everyone cheered again.

"Mummy" Avery came running over to her in her little flower girl dress "hey sweetie, you did so well in the ceremony" she told her daughter as she laughed and smiled. "And now for their first dance, Mr and Mrs Bowen", her and Ricky made their way and started dancing as everyone overlooked.
