Jasper and Kyle Theodore’s self-proclaimed “partners in crime” had commandeered the night’s agenda, ensuring there wouldn't ’t be a dull moment. Meanwhile, Ivan and Derrick played the role of slightly more responsible spectators, though they were just as invested in making the night memorable."Alright, Theo." Jasper said, sprawling in his chair and twirling a half-empty glass of whiskey. His grin was pure mischief. "This is it, man. Your last night of freedom. Any regrets?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, smirking as he sipped his drink. "Regrets? You sound like I’m walking into a life sentence." Kyle leaned forward, pointing dramatically at Theodore. "Because you are.

Meanwhile, The night was alive with soft music, sparkling lights, and laughter as Janelle celebrated her bachelorette party. Unlike Theodore’s slightly chaotic bachelor bash, Janelle’s evening was elegant and charming just like her. Held in a private room at a chic rooftop restaurant, the gathering was intimate, attended by her closest friends and, of course, Karina, Theodore’s mischievous little sister, who had taken it upon herself to ensure the night wasn't too serious."Oh my gosh, Janelle, this place is perfect." Chloe said, twirling her cocktail glass and admiring the skyline. "You really know how to keep it classy." "I didn't plan this!" Janelle laughed, motioning toward Karina. "This was all her doing. And her brother's." Karina beamed, raising her glass of sparkling water. "What can I say? I have a gift for aesthetics." She turned to Mary with a wink. "And a gift for causing just the right amount of trouble.""Uh-oh." Mary said, laughing. "What did you do?" She asked.
Theodore Wyatt stood at the altar, his hands clasped tightly in front of him, the faintest sheen of nervous energy radiating from his otherwise calm demeanor. Today was the day he would marry Janelle, the woman who had transformed his life in ways he never imagined. Around him, the grand but understated chapel glowed with soft sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows, illuminating the tasteful floral arrangements of white lilies and blush roses.He glanced briefly at the first row, where their three children and their nanny sat. A son and two daughters. Fatherhood had come unexpectedly, but he wouldn't trade it for anything.
