Boyd accepted the toast and the challenge.

"Mr. Simmons, Sir, I accept. I promise, you will not be disappointed."

One Year Later

Bianca admired herself in the mirror. The dress had a three foot train and a beaded bodice. Her father had gifted her the dress, the very dress that her mother wore for her wedding to her father. It fit just right and was beautiful. Bianca felt her mother's spirit there with her on her special day.

Miss Nolan helped her place her veil just right, and then gave her the box with the white silk gloves.

"Your something old is the dress. You have your something borrowed, these pearl earrings from me. And the necklace is your something blue. Now your something new, these beautiful silk gloves."

Bianca slid the gloves over her hands. "Thank you, Miss Nolan for all of your help."

A knock at the door startled Bianca.

"Come in."

"Bianca, you look absolutely stunning."

In the mirror, Bianca could see Rain standing behind her. Ms. Nolan excused herself.

Rain closed the door. "You look beautiful. Boyd is a lucky man."

"Thank you, Rain."

"I'm so happy for you today." Rain hugged Bianca. "I just wanted to share with you how proud of you I am. I know that I could never replace your mother, but I feel an affinity toward you, as if you were my own daughter because you were raised side by side with my son. I have watched you blossom into a wonderful young lady, and I wish you all the best that life, and love, have to offer."

Tears came to Bianca's eyes. "Thank you, Rain. That means the world to me."

Rain wiped away her tears. "Now, let's go out there and marry the man of your dreams."

Flowers were everywhere in all different colors, and the sun was setting over the horizon, leaving an orange streak across the sky.

Everything was perfect as Bianca walked down the aisle, arm and arm with her father, who was happy to give her away. Scout stood with Boyd and Beau, and Miss Nolan and Rain stood as witnesses for Bianca.

A look of pride and of love shone on Boyd's face as he watched Bianca walk down the aisle. Bianca thought of her mother and how proud Samantha would be that her daughter was marrying the love of her life.

Once Lou issued the challenge, Boyd worked hard to prove his love and his worthiness to be Bianca's husband. Bianca and Boyd set the date for their nuptials and vowed to live each day faithful to each other and loving one another.

Bianca was ecstatic that she was able to meet Boyd's family. She was happy that Beau could be there after he had been reassigned several months earlier to work in California. It was the first time in Boyd and Beau's lives that they had lived separately, and Bianca saw the happiness in Boyd when his brother was near versus when they were apart. Several of Boyd's brothers and their families came out to the wedding, and seeing them gave Bianca faith that one day, her marriage to Boyd could yield the same results. Having a family that she could call her own was the final part of what Bianca always dreamed of.

To approach the altar and take the hand of the man who she loved was a dream come true. To hear him profess his love for her melted her heart. To kiss the man that she loved and be pronounced man and wife was the beginning of her happily ever after.

When they announced Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Abbott to their family and friends, Bianca knew that she had done the right thing by going after love.

And when she danced with Boyd for their first dance, he whispered in her ear.

"It is beautiful that out of such a storm bloomed such love and happiness. You, Mrs. Boyd Abbott, make me the happiest man in the world."

Boyd was right. A situation that could have been quite possibly the worst time of her life had turned out to be the very thing that brought happiness and love to her life. It was the rainbow at the end of the storm. And for that, she was forever grateful.

He held her hands tightly, and whirled her around. Bianca laughed and as he brought her in close to his chest, and kissed her, she made him a promise that she would love him for the rest of their lives.
