She had been heartbroken since her husband died of a stroke 12 years ago. Meeting her best friend Alex brought some new hopes into Catherine’s life.
The four spent several days touring the city, and ultimately, Dylan and Cynthia fell in love. They began dating and planned to move in together in Padua.
Two weeks later, Alex and Dylan flew back to the US to proceed with the necessary paperwork.
Ultimately, Alex realized he could no longer live without Catherine, so Dylan was more than happy to take his grandpa to Italy.
A few months later, Dylan and Alex moved to Padua and lived in the house they bought. Cynthia moved in, and together, they devised another surprise for granny Catherine.
On a breezy evening during dinner at the same restaurant, Alex suddenly popped the question, moving his sweetheart to tears.
“Will you marry me?” he dramatically asked her, kneeling on one knee while holding up a ring. Catherine blushed and nodded in tears.
Dylan and Cynthia cheered in joy, and the four drove home.
Alex took his grandson’s hand and gently kissed it.
“Thank you, darling. You painted a beautiful portrait in my life that was once dull and incomplete.”
“Anything for that smile on your face, grandpa,” Dylan said.
“I’m happy for you and Cynthia, son,” Alex exclaimed. “But will you regret what you’ve done at any point in your life?”
Dylan looked his grandpa in the eye and said confidently that such a moment would never come.
“Not at all, grandpa!
I learned from you that it is better to do something than not to do it and regret it for the rest of my life!”
A few months later, Alex married Catherine at a traditional church wedding. He felt happiness spring back into his life as he slid the wedding ring on his beloved’s finger and kissed her.
Meanwhile, Dylan and Cynthia decided to tie the knot a few months later because they wanted to explore Italy a little more!
