and an extra pair of boxer shorts and jeans in your backpack this morning, FYI.
ALEX: You are the fucking best. Marry me.
EMILIA: Oh, I will. Next year.
ALEX: Yeah. Next year. You and Ryder should come by the set for dinner tonight. Willa and the kids will be here.
EMILIA: We’ll be there. I will be fully clothed, but my mind will be filled with dirty, naked thoughts.
ALEX: Putting my phone away. See you later. I love you.
EMILIA: I love you.
Epilogue Two
*Wedding Guest Book for Mr. Alex and Mrs. Emilia Vega*
Alex and Emilia: I have only ever said this once before in my entire life, when I visited Soho House London—I approve. I approve of all of it. Everything about this wedding and marriage, I approve of. Yes, I designed everything about the wedding, but even I could not design a better couple. You are perfect. Love you both. – Franklin
You dance together beautifully. I know you always will. – Nova
I just want you to know that the sweaters are not the only gift we gave you—the blue KitchenAid mixer and the fancy bedding set from your registry are also from Dad and me. You don’t have to wear the sweaters in public, but I would love a picture of the two of you in them when you have time. And bring them when you come to visit for Christmas so we can all take pictures together in matching sweaters. Love you, dears. – Mom Stiles
Nice wedding. Stay happy. Love always. – Steve Stiles
You absolutely light up every room you’re in when you’re together, you two. Thank you for giving my son his smile back, Emilia. I hope and I am sure that he will give you much to smile about for the rest of your life. I am so very happy for the two of you and for Ryder. Also, I would love it if I could get the recipe for the pear crumble they served tonight. It was almost as delicious as your wedding vows. Love and kisses. – Sylvia Vega
Your love conquers everything. It flies in the face of everything that is wrong in the world and makes it all so very right. You are mighty warriors of the heart, and I am the faithful soldier who will always have your backs. Also, I like this prosecco and you are a very cute couple. – Antonio Vega
I’m not just saying this because I’m super tipsy, but this is the most beautiful wedding I have ever photographed. You are both glowing and gorgeous, inside and out. – Kat
Vega, babies! And a new Vega baby on the way. I’m moved. Thanks for letting me sing “All the Stars” tonight. I’ve been scribbling lyrics to a new song on a napkin. It’s called “Lazy Wingmen.” The first line is Hey, what about this guy? and the last line is Wow. How about those two. I mean, it’s a work in progress. It’ll get better. Just like your lives together. Okay, I’m drunk. And Grammie keeps trying to take the pen from me. Love you and good night. – Nico
Alexander, I like that you still look at your bride with a certain amount of longing, even though she is all yours. Stay like that. Emilia, I’m happy you found a good man who is bad in all the right ways. ;) Thank you for inviting me to your wedding. My cold dead heart feels warm tonight. And it’s not just the wine. P.S. You really must stop flirting with me now, Tongue – Grammie Todd
Beautiful couple! I was in such a hurry wrapping up your gift that I forgot to include the ingredients. Your personalized scented room spray and candle combine the following fragrances: Madagascar vanilla (for cake), natural botanical musk (for sex), vanillin and grass (for books), and a top-secret combination of tree, leaf, and citrus to hint at the scent of freshly sharpened pencils. Your love smells fucking amazing, and I can’t stop sniffing you. – Willa
I’m so happy you’re going to have a baby! I recommend sleeping for the next five months straight. After that—there’s a sleep schedule technique we learned about for Oliver. I’ll email it to you. It works. Okay, Willa says I’m obsessing about sleep like a dork, so I will also say this: I have known Alex since he was a teenage werewolf who could only turn back into a normal guy if he was around the girl he had a
