My mom , on learning about how I had agreed to remain engaged to Joshua , winked at me and smiled , as though she had already seen that happening .
She hugged me and said , "I'm so happy for the two of you . I hope that this will mark your new beginnings , and you'll find much love and happiness my darling daughter ."
I smiled as I hugged her back and whispered , " I hope so too , mom. I hope so too ."
" So, when are you two planning to get married then ?", she asked me, once she let go of the embrace.
I looked towards Joshua's side, who was with my dad , catching up on their sports , and said , "We have decided to get married this weekend. It won't be a big one, just his parents and Zeke, and you guys and Leo, Aurora and Gabby. Uncle Jacob, if he wants to ."
