She shook her head at me and grinned. “You’re crazy, you know that, right?”
I stood up and chuckled. “Well, don’t keep me in suspense.”
“Are you kidding me? Of course I’ll marry you!” She threw herself into my arms, and I spun her around, kissing her through our smiles. “I’m getting your tux all sweaty.” She pulled back, but I caught her before she got too far, pulling her hard against me. “I guess you’re not concerned about it, huh?” she laughed.
“No, baby, it’s going to take a lot more than sweat to make me ever let you go.” I gave her one more kiss before we turned to face our friends. Two beautiful couples stared back at us with huge smiles, and it hit me. This group was my family. They have shown me how to take chances, tell the truth, say no, be random, sing out loud, laugh and cry, get angry, get revenge, apologize, fall in love, say I love you, but most of all, they’ve helped me learn to live life!
