Chapter 37 - Vows in the Wind"Elena," Julian began, his voice steady and full of emotion as the ocean breeze stirred her veil. "You entered my home as a stranger, but you saved my world. You taught me how to fight for what matters, and you brought light back into my daughter's life. I promise to honor you, protect you, and love you for all the days of my life."

Elena squeezed his hands, tears of joy shining in her eyes. "Julian, I came looking for justice, but I found a love deeper than I ever thought possible. I promise to stand by your side, to build our family with strength and joy, and to never let anyone extinguish our light."
"By the authority vested in me," the minister announced with a warm smile, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!"
Julian pulled Elena close, kissing her deeply as the crowd erupted into thunderous applause.
