Chapter 74 Officially Engaged

• As Ira and her father approached the altar, Alex's breath caught in his throat. He had always known Ira was beautiful, but seeing her now, radiant and glowing in the soft candlelight, took his breath away. Her dress flowed elegantly around her, and the gentle smile on her lips made his heart swell with love and pride.
• When her father gently placed her hand in his, Alex felt a surge of emotion. He looked into Ira's eyes, seeing the love and trust reflected there, and knew that this moment was one he would never forget. As her father's words, "Take care of her," hung in the air, Alex's grip on Ira's hand tightened slightly, a silent vow that he would cherish and protect her always.
• His eyes glistened with unshed tears, and he gave a small, heartfelt nod to her father, acknowledging the depth of the responsibility and the honor of being the one to stand by Ira's side. Alex then turned his full attention to Ira, his gaze filled with adoration and a profound sense of gratitude for the incredible woman before him.
