"Okay big boy, make a wish
and blow with all your might," Daria coached.
Little Tayler looked at his mom not quite understanding but trying to.
Daria quickly demonstrated while he copied.
It was a special birthday, their little boy was turning into a bigger one.
He looked just like his daddy even in that stage but you could tell he had a bit of Daria in there too.

Naturally after blowing out the candles, it was time to eat.
While they sat around eating cake the conversation somehow shifted from school & what fun it was going to be, to. . .
. . . marriage and Daria being Benjamin's wife forever.
She didn't expect it then and there but knew it would be coming one of these days.
Of course being his wife was a promise she would be proud to make. . . with everything they've been through nothing would make her happier.

Daria didn't want to put off getting married too long.
Their engagement was to be a short one. . . a blissful one but a short one.
She wanted to be special and make her own wedding dress.
They could afford a nice one but. . . she knew exactly what she wanted it to look like.
~*~*~*~
Their wedding was in the fall and their colors represented the changing leaves.
Daria looked nothing short of stunning on her special day. Not a strand of hair was out of place.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Their ceremony was romantic and beautiful. . . they stated their vows and tried to put into words how they felt.
"Ben, you've made me so happy over these years and I can wait to spend a million more with you,"
. . . .
"I didn't know what family was until I met you. . . I didn't know what love was until I met you.
You opened my eyes to what's really important in life Daria"
Although he was just a little boy it was nice to see his parents come together.
With the amount of love they showered him everyday, Tayler knew they felt the same for each other.
