Diana was a bundle of emotions as she prepared to marry Tom—she felt happiness, excitement, and a touch of nervousness. But just as she was about to walk down the aisle, her five-year-old son, Ethan, suddenly shouted, “I object!” The room fell silent, with everyone looking around in shock and confusion. What could little Ethan know that would stop Diana’s perfect day?
The day began in a cozy cottage near the garden, where Diana was getting ready with her bridesmaids. The room smelled of fresh flowers, and the sound of their laughter filled the air. Her bridesmaids, all dressed in soft lavender, fluttered around her, making last-minute adjustments to her hair and dress.
Through the window, Diana could see the guests arriving, their cheerful chatter adding to the excitement. Everything felt like a dream, and she couldn’t help but smile as she thought about the journey that had led her to this moment.
Tom had entered Diana’s life three years ago, just when she needed him the most. He became her rock, her confidant, and most importantly, an amazing father figure to Ethan. Tom and Ethan had a special bond—they were inseparable, spending hours playing together, building Lego castles, and going on little adventures in the park. Seeing them together always warmed Diana’s heart.
“Mama, look at me!” Ethan’s voice brought Diana back to the present. She turned to see him standing proudly in his tiny suit, his blue eyes shining with excitement. He looked so grown-up and handsome that Diana felt tears welling up in her eyes. “You look so smart, Ethan,” she said, kneeling down to his level. “Are you ready to help me today?”
“Yes, Mama!” he said with a big grin. “I’m gonna be the best ring bearer ever!” Diana hugged him tightly, her heart full of love. This day wasn’t just about her and Tom; it was about their little family and the future they were creating together.
Just then, the door to the cottage opened, and Kelly, one of Diana’s bridesmaids, peeked in. “Diana, it’s time. Are you ready?”
Diana took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, I’m ready.” As they stepped out into the garden, Diana was struck by how beautiful everything was. The aisle was lined with flowers, creating a perfect path to the altar where Tom was waiting. The guests, all smiling warmly, were eager to witness this special day.
“Ethan, are you ready?” Diana whispered, giving his little hand a squeeze.
“Ready, Mommy,” he replied, his eyes wide with excitement. They began their walk down the aisle, the soft music adding to the magic of the moment. Diana could feel the guests’ eyes on them, their smiles making the day even more joyful. Ethan, looking adorable in his suit, walked confidently beside her, holding her hand tightly.
As they got closer to the altar, Diana saw Tom waiting with a big smile, his eyes full of love and happiness. The sight made her eyes tear up. Tom was everything she had ever wished for, and today, they were about to make those wishes come true.
“Daddy, look at me!” Ethan called out, his voice full of delight. Tom chuckled, his smile growing even wider. “I see you, champ. You look so smart!”
Ethan puffed out his chest with pride. “I’m a big boy today!” Tom nodded, his eyes meeting Diana’s. The love in his gaze said it all—today was the start of their new life as a family.
When they reached the altar, Tom took Diana’s hand, his grip firm and reassuring. “You look stunning, Diana,” he whispered.
“Thank you, Tom,” Diana replied with a smile. “I can’t believe this is really happening.”
“It’s real,” Tom said, smiling back. “And it’s perfect.”
The officiant began the ceremony, guiding them through their vows. “Do you, Tom, take Diana to be your wife?”
“I do,” Tom answered, his eyes never leaving Diana’s.
“And do you, Diana, take Tom to be your husband?”
“I do,” Diana said, her voice filled with emotion.
Just as the officiant was about to pronounce them husband and wife, a small, determined voice interrupted. “I object!” The crowd gasped, and Diana turned to see Ethan standing there, looking very serious. Her heart skipped a beat. Why would Ethan object?
“Ethan, sweetheart, why do you object?” Diana asked, kneeling down to his level. Ethan held up a small, worn-out rattle, his little hand shaking a bit. “Tom has another family, Mama! I heard him talking to his mommy about his daughter. Is Tom cheating on you, Mommy?” he asked, his voice full of confusion.
The crowd’s whispers grew louder as Diana felt her stomach twist into knots. She turned to Tom, her face pale. Tom looked as shocked as she felt. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. The officiant looked just as confused, glancing between the couple and the guests.
“Ethan, what do you mean?” Diana asked gently, trying to understand what was happening. “What did you hear?”
Ethan looked down at the ground. “I heard Tom talking to his mommy about his daughter. He said he has a daughter, but I didn’t know about her. Why didn’t he tell us, Mommy?”
Diana took a deep breath, trying to process what Ethan was saying. She glanced at Tom, who finally found his voice. “Guys, I can explain,” Tom began, his voice a little shaky. But before he could continue, Diana raised her hand to stop him. “Ethan, are you sure you heard correctly?”
“Yes, Mommy,” Ethan said firmly, his face serious. “Tom said he has a daughter.”
The crowd was buzzing now, with people whispering to each other in confusion and concern. “Did you hear what the little boy said?” one guest murmured to another. “Is there really another family?” another asked, sounding shocked.
Diana turned to Tom, her eyes demanding the truth. “Tom, I think it’s time you explained what’s going on.”
Tom stepped forward, taking Diana’s hand in his. He looked out at the crowd, then back at Ethan. “Ethan, buddy, you’re right—I did talk about a baby, but it’s not what you think,” Tom said, his voice calm but firm. The crowd fell silent, everyone waiting to hear what he would say next. Tom took a deep breath, then turned to the guests with a big smile. “Everyone, we’re expecting a baby. Ethan, you’re going to be a big brother!”
The crowd gasped in surprise, and then they erupted into cheers and applause. The tension in the garden disappeared, replaced by joy and excitement.
“Really? I’m going to be a big brother?” Ethan asked, his face lighting up with joy. Diana hugged him tightly, tears of happiness streaming down her face. “Yes, sweetheart, you’re going to be the best big brother ever.”
Tom joined the hug, wrapping his arms around both Diana and Ethan. “Ethan, I’m sorry if we confused you. We wanted to surprise everyone today.”
Ethan’s eyes sparkled with understanding. “We’re having a little baby?”
“That’s right, champ,” Tom said, laughing. “We’re having a baby.”
The crowd continued to cheer, the atmosphere now filled with laughter and celebration. The officiant, smiling widely, picked up where they had left off. “Well, this is certainly a special day! Let’s continue with the ceremony.”
The vows were quickly completed, and Tom and Diana were pronounced husband and wife. Their kiss sealed the moment, a promise not just to each other but to the family they were creating.
Later, as the sun set and cast a golden glow over the garden, Diana watched Tom and Ethan playing together. She felt a deep sense of happiness and contentment. Their journey together was just beginning, and it was already filled with so much love.
