I could even tell you that the highlight of the reception is Raphael doing a wild tarantella with Grandma in her shower-curtain dress, or that Jack surprises me by renting a honeymoon hut-on-stilts in Tahiti after all, or that Jack’s father’s wedding gift is the better part of a down payment on a condo—maybe even a house.
But you know what?
I’m not sure which part would be the happy ending.
So I think I’ll end it right here, in this moment, with me taking my first steps toward my husband, full of hope and trust and love, with no idea what’s going to happen next.
That way, it’s not an ending after all.
It’s a happy beginning instead.
And those are even better.
