Hearing my name, I turned to see Gregory, the man who usually carried himself with an air of invincibility, suddenly dropping to one knee, slipping a wedding shoe onto my foot, "Wife, let's go home."

Approaching the venue, Gregory transferredfrom the car to a horse-drawn carriage.

Then, we changed into our reception outfits and went to greet our guests.
Knowing I hadn't eaten all morning, Gregory found moments to feedamidst the festivities. After greeting our guests, he was pulled away by friends.
Christine also took the opportunity to sitdown for a meal, peeling shrimp for me.
"Gregory's busy today, so I'll fill in. But this job's his from now on." I joked, "You're just in it for the money, aren't you?" Christine scoffed, "Let's not spell it out. We're still friends, after all."
