"Me?" Neil pointed at himself in disbelief. "You want me to walk you down the aisle?"
She took his hands in hers. "Yes."
"Why me?" He studied her eyes.
She sat down, still smiling in excitement. "Because, why not?"
She knew he was a kind man and he would love to do it, and there wasn't anyone better fitting for the role.
"Honey, are you sure about this?" Li Yuming asked her. While it would mean the world to her and Neil, she didn't want Lanni to do something she might regret. "You know, a wedding only happens once."
She then caught sight of Neil's meaningful gaze and laughed. "Or a few times. But you know what I mean. A wedding is very important. You cannot make decisions on a whim."
"I know, mom. I thought about this and it will be an honor to me if he walked me down the aisle." She took her mother's hand in hers and stood up, making sure to link it with Neil's as she left.
