Hunter walked back to Kenzie, his eyes burning. He linked their fingers together silently. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
(She should throw the bouquet, but it should land in Willow's hands.)
(Got it. thumbs up)
Kenzie smiled up at Hunter, both excited and nervous about… Well, about everything!
Willow tugged on her opposite arm, and Kenzie glared at her.
"Sorry, sorry! It's just that… It's time for the bouquet toss!" the blonde exclaimed.
Kenzie sighed and turned to Hunter. "Do I have to?" she quietly groaned to him.
(I just reread the first page, and, like, I'm cringing…
Not at your writing, just at my own… Like, ugh.)
(That's me with my own writing. -.-')
(Lol. Yours was actually pretty good, though!)
(It was all cringe! 😂)
(At least we've gotten better!)

(yes! I also can't believe I cursed. Ugh.)

(Lol. Yeah, the whole first few pages were… interesting…)
Hunter walked back to Kenzie, his eyes burning. He linked their fingers together silently. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

Kenzie smiled up at Hunter, both excited and nervous about… Well, about everything!
Willow tugged on her opposite arm, and Kenzie glared at her.
"Sorry, sorry! It's just that… It's time for the bouquet toss!" the blonde exclaimed.
Kenzie sighed and turned to Hunter. "Do I have to?" she quietly groaned to him.
Hunter laughed and nodded his head.
"Yes, honey, you have to," he said, flicking Kenzie's cheek. Leo moved behind Willow and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pressing a light kiss on her neck before resting his chin on her shoulder.
Kenzie stuck her tongue out at him, then moved to the dance floor.
"All right. If I could get all the single ladies to gather around, I'm going to toss the bouquet!" she called.
Willow turned to Leo and winked at him. "Wish me luck," she teased as she walked over to join the group.
Leo shuffled with his feet, causing Hunter to roll his eyes.
"You'd better get your act right, Carter," he muttered quietly. Leo took a deep breath, hoping Willow would catch the bouquet. If not… Well, he would have to change his plans.
Kenzie shot Willow a quick wink before turning around.
"One… Two… Three!"
She tossed the bouquet over her head and turned when she heard the squeals of excitement. Someone had caught it, but she was still standing up. When she had straightened, Willow's bright face appeared, and she waved the bouquet around. Kenzie let out an excited squeal of her own and rushed over to her friend.
While Kenzie prepared to throw the bouquet, Leo slipped away. When he saw Willow catching the bouquet, he sighed with relief but felt nervous all over again. Kenzie offered great distraction when she squealed and rushed over to Willow, and Leo took that chance to make his way behind Willow. Kenzie saw him, but he lifted his finger to his lips, shushing her.
"You know what that means, right Willow? You're getting married next!" Kenzie teased, giggling.
Willow laughed and shook her head. "Maybe. If Leo ever proposes," she laughed a bit.
Leo took a deep breath before tapping Willow on the shoulder. He quickly dropped to his knees and pulled out the ring as Willow turned around in confusion. His heart hammered in his head, but he swallowed his anxiety and hoped for the best.
Willow's eyes widened in surprise as she gaped at Leo.
"Leo…?" she breathed, handing the bouquet back to Kenzie, who was grinning.
"I know we haven't been together for very long…" Leo started, nervous, the tip of his ears already pink. He felt his voice break, but when he looked at Hunter, he began to regain his confidence. "But you're one of the best things that happened to me. I don't want to lose you. I want the whole world to look at you and know that you're engaged to Leo Carter. I want the whole world to know that you're my Will." Leo paused and found himself at a loss for words. "Honestly, I'm not like Hunter with a bunch of cheesy lines in my dictionary. I can't come up with anything at the right time. But if I have to be honest, it's kind of your fault. When I'm around you, I lose all of my common sense. I can't think straight. I feel like a flailing fish out of water when you're around. On the other hand, I feel complete whenever I have you close to me. I feel like I can do anything long as I have you. You're my strength. What I'm trying to ask is, Willow, will you marry me?"
Willow, at a loss for words, blinked and gaped at Leo for a moment. She started to nod slowly, and it grew more enthusiastic as a grin split her face.
"Yes! Yes, of course!" she exclaimed, giving Leo her hand to put the ring on.
Leo grinned before slipping the ring on Willow’s finger. He felt giddy and happy. He was engaged! It wasn’t just the girl he loved. He was engaged to a girl even his family couldn’t help but adore. Leo swore to himself to always keep Willow happy.
Leo stood up and hugged Willow, breathing her in deeply. This woman was no longer his girlfriend. She was his fiancée. He would make sure nothing came between them.
Leo took a deep breath before tapping Willow on the shoulder. He quickly dropped to his knees and pulled out the ring as Willow turned around in confusion. His heart hammered in his head, but he swallowed his anxiety and hoped for the best.
(I just realized I wrote “his heart hammered in his head”)
(Lol. I didn't even notice that!)
Willow grinned as she hugged him back tightly. She pulled away a bit to press her lips against his, kissing him with passion. The rest of the guests went wild, cheering and clapping.
Kenzie glanced over at Hunter and walked over to him. "You knew about this, didn't you?"
The noise in the surroundings were lost to Leo, only the feeling of Willow pressed against him registering in his brain. He pulled her closer, feeling like he would explode any second.
Hunter grinned at Kenzie.
“I did,” he said. “Not for very long, though.”
Willow's grip shifted to his neck, and she smiled against his lips.
"And you didn't think to let me in on it?" Kenzie teased, poking at him playfully.
Hunter wrapped his arm around Kenzie, pulling her closer.
“I didn’t want to ruin the surprise,” he replied. “But they seriously just took the spotlight away from us.”
Leo pulled away, breathless. He smiled.
“I think we took the spotlight away,” he said cheekily.
"That's okay. I'm not really one for attention, anyway," Kenzie said as she looked up at Hunter with a smile. "We could probably leave now, and no one would even notice… They'd just keep dancing and eating."
"You think?" Willow teased with a chuckle, pecking him on the lips again. "I don't mind, fiancé, do you?"
