All the family members and close friends were gathered and seated on the large green lawn. It was time for the ceremony. The Minister walked up and stood in the middle of the stage, facing the crowd. Then Leo and his men walked up to the stage and stood by the left side of the Minister.

Leo let out a deep sighed and gave one tug on his tuxedo before drifting his gaze to the entrance which was decorated with dusty blue and white flowers gate. With each second passing, he became more eager to see Anna walking up the aisle in white.

"Calm down, Leo. You look impatient," Gideon whispered in a teasing manner behind him. Leo looked over his shoulder and chuckled softly. Then he turned his gazed to the crowd-to the groom's side and saw his parents smiling widely at him. He returned them before fixing his eyes on the entrance again.

Presently, the band begins to play a piece of soft music giving the cue of the arrival of the bride. All the heads turned back and eyes were on the entrance.

Valentino appeared on the entrance with a wide grin holding the engagement tray on his both hands. The crowd was filled with awed and gazed as Val threw adorable glances side by side as he walked through the aisle.

"Papa," Val squealed and laughed adorably looking at Leo in the front. Leo grinned widely and curve down a little, waiting for him to come to him.

"Come here, my boy," Leo said and held his arms out. Severina and Avery looked at Val with pleasant eyes while Antonio and Francis shook their head in amusement.

"He's such an adorable kid," Antonio said softly.

"Yes, he is." Severina agreed as she rested her head on her husband's shoulder. Antonio chuckled softly and rested his arm over her shoulder.

Then the two cute little flower girls appeared on the entrance and leisurely walked down the aisle, spreading the dusty blue and white flower petals on the aisle. Shortly, Anna appeared on the entrance along with her Nonno and the crowd stood in accord to address the beautiful bride.

Anna let out a nervous sigh before tugging her hand on her Nonno's arm and involuntarily her grip tightened a little over her Nonno's arm. Reginald noticed that she was nervous and looked at her. He placed his hand on her hand grabbing her attention to him.

"It's normal to get nervous on your wedding day," He said and smiled warmly, patting his hand over hers. "The wait is finally over," Anna smiled beautifully looking at him.

"Shall we?" Reginald tilted his head and they both began to walk down the aisle and behind them, Jasmine and Maria held on her Veil while Fiona, Sarah and Rossanne followed behind them.

Anna glanced from person to person as she walked rhythmically with the musical piece of 'A thousand years' performing by the band besides the stage. She smiled at Layla and Noah who was among the crowd and they returned back the same. Then she spotted her brothers and Samuel who was smiling and looking at her with immense warmth in their eyes. Anna smiled widely at them and was nearly about to tear in happiness.

"You're about to cry, my dear," Reginald tells her softly.

"I'm just so happy," Anna replied whispering.

"It's time for me to hand you over to your man," He said softly and smiled looking at his front. Anna turned her gazed to the man of her life who was a few feet away from her. She could see his emotions expressed through his eyes-the warmth of blissfulness was coursing within him and his eyes were filled with unshed tears.

Leo smile widely at her and walked towards her. He held out his hand as Reginald sought her hand upon his.

"From now on she belongs to you, take good care of my granddaughter," Reginald said genuinely looking at Leo.

"I will, Nonno," Leo assured. Reginald smiled at both of them before going and joining his son and grandsons.

Anna and Leo came face to face and couldn't stop smiling at each other. Leo has been regarding her from the moment she appeared in the entrance, his eyes never breaking away from her.

"You look amazing, Mio coure," He breathed out before escorting her towards the middle of the stage where the Minister was waiting for them. The crowd settled back on their seats.

Leo and Anna stood a step away and face each other as the Minister stood a step ahead between them. The Minister began with the greeting and announces some brief before exchanging their vows. Leo took her both hands in his and looked tenderly into her eyes.

"Anastasia Tessa Harondale," Leo started off nervously, "This is my first time addressing her officially," he chuckled and glanced at the crowd making everyone laughed at him.

"Anna, when I first saw you at my doorstep, you looked very cute with your blue helmet over your head," Leo said amusedly making her chuckled softly. "I fell for you right away. You are the most beautiful lady I ever saw in my life. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I couldn't stop myself from going to you and making you mine. I know I've been a jerk to you when we first met but trust me, it was fun playing with you." He chuckled heartily making everyone entertaining.

"After five years, I'm standing here in front of you to be the luckiest man in the world." Leo squeezed on her hands gently and let out a content sigh. "Never in my life have I ever thought that I was capable of falling in love but then you came and proved it wrong, Mio coure. The second I laid eyes on you, I was a goner."

"I promise to love you forever, Mio coure. Through the highs and lows, I promise to be by your side for the rest of my life. I know how fearless you are, my love but if ever you feel scared or down, you can always lean on me for I'll be always there for you." He said smiling brightly at her while the other listened to his vow in complete contentment.

"You are the one I've waited all my life for. I thanked heaven for the millions of time for bringing you into my life. You are my heart, you are my world, you are my everything, Mio coure," Anna welled up in tears and sniffled softly looking at him. Leo reached his hand for her cheek and gently wiped her tears away. Then he cupped her cheek and gently stroked his thumb over it. "I promised to be the best husband in the world and I promised to never make you angry." He jested and laughed softly.

"Lastly I promise to cherish you, honour you and protect you for the rest of my life. And even if I breathe my last in this world, my soul will follow you for eternity. I love you, Anastasia Tessa Harondale," Leo smiled at her and completed his vows.

Anna smiled beautifully and leaned closer on his touch before placing her hand over his. She kissed on his palm and brought them down between them.

"Leonardo De Luca," Anna said and Leo involuntarily narrowed his eyes at him. She only addressed him officially when she is very angry with him. "Don't worry, I'm not angry at you," She jested and chuckled softly. "Leo, you are the first-ever man who bought me a bunch of red roses and I also very well remember how you indirectly confessed me that moment," Anna said amusedly while Leo gave her a sheepish smile.

"You were the first-ever man to have stolen my first kiss without my permission," Anna chuckled as she reminisced back. Sarah and Jasmine giggled softly behind her as they had witnessed the moment. Leo and his brothers chuckled softly and shook their head in amusement. "I am grateful and blessed that I encountered you in my life. If it was not for the little encounters we had, I wouldn't be standing here right in front of you. I am the luckiest woman in the world to marry the one and only and the most handsome and lovable man."

"As I stand here before you, Leo, I promise to always be there for you. In health or in sickness, for better or for worse, in tears and in happiness, I'll always be there for you, to love and care for you. Even if the whole world misunderstands you, I will always be there to understand you. I will be there to listen, to defend you, fight for you and love you unconditionally." Anna vowed as tears fell down her cheeks. Leo looked down at their hands and sniffled softly trying to hide his tears. His hand reached for his eyes and pressed his fingers upon his eyelids as the tears slid down his cheeks.

"Honey," Anna sniffled and cupped his cheek, bringing him up to face her.

"I love you so much, Mio coure," Leo said with immense emotion and sniffled softly.

"I love you too," Anna welled up and embraced him into a warm hug. Leo wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. The others were also filled with tears as they watched the lovely couple in front of them. Anna pulled away slowly and wiped his tears away while Leo did hers.

"I have never seen Leo in tears. She means life to him." Diego said genuinely as he gazed at the couple on the stage.

"I want a lady like her who will love me unconditionally," Armando said softly glancing at Rocco.

"Every man wants a lady who will love him unconditionally but only the lucky one finds it," Rocco drawled.

Beside Alesso, Nicolo cried silently as he watches his most beloved two persons. Alesso turned to look at him and smiled warmly at him. He then kept his arm around his shoulder and gripped it firmly, comforting him in a silent voice.

Kazimir and Gideon looked at their best friend and smiled genuinely. "I'll never forget this very day," Kazimir tells.

"No one will forget this blessed day-the day the Don cried on his wedding," Roberto said in a bit of amused tone but almost sincere.

Behind Anna, her sisters and her best friend were all in tears. Anna gave Leo a smile and held his both hands.

"Leo, I promise to never leave you again. I promise to face this world together with you. Through every high and every low, our love will only grow. I'll be always there for you till my final breath coz my love is all for you." With this said, Anna placed her vowed. Leo pursed his lips and looked at her.

The Minister announces to bring the rings forward. Val pouted sadly and strolled towards Anna with the rings. Anna curved down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.

"Momma, Papa, why are you both crying?" Val cracked up sadly making everyone looked at him in awe.

"These are tears of happiness, honey," Anna said softly cupping his cheek. Leo ran a hand over his face and curved down.

"Son, we are finally going to stay together," Leo said quietly to which Val grinned widely at him. "You, Momma and me,"

"Yes," Val squealed happily. Leo and Anna chuckled softly and took the ring from the tray. Leo took the try from Val and passed it to Gideon to carry, and then he straightened up and placed Val beside him.

The wedding rings were white gold bands with diamonds. After exchanging the rings, the Minister announced them as husband and wife.

"You may now kiss the bride," The minister declared and smiled at both of them. Leo moved closer to her and cupped her cheek. They both smiled widely looking at each other before he pulled her into a kiss. Soon the crowd burst out in applauds and behind Leo, the boys made cooing sounds while the girls behind Anna, giggled and looked at them in awe.

"I love you," Leo tells breaking the kiss.

"I love you too," Anna replied back before he pulled her into a kiss again.
