"Then you better behave," I said, fake-menacingly. "And stop looking at my dick."
She was laughing so hard, her mascara was going to start running. "I love you, babe," she said when she could catch her breath.
"I love you too. And I'm looking forward to messing up your pretty dress later, when you can feel free to look at my dick."

On the red carpet, we saw a lot of our normal photographer friends but also a lot of new faces.
"Lowell! Kyle! Over here!"
"Show us the ring again!"
"How does it feel to have everything out in the open?"
"It feels great," I called.
"Do you two have any regrets?"
I looked at her, and she looked at me.
"I wish we'd slept together sooner," she said so only I could hear.
"I wish we were getting married sooner," I said.
We'd decided to get married six months from today, on the beach. Then we were going to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I was finally going to teach my girl to surf. I couldn't wait to see her catch her first wave.
It would be awesome. All of it, from now on.
What seemed like a thousand flashes went off.
"I'm pretty sure they're all looking at your dick," she said, under her breath.
"Of course they are, babe. I told you so. It's my not-so-secret weapon."
"Bang bang," she said, laughing and holding me close.
"So do you?" the reporter called again. "Have any regrets?"
We turned back to him, both of us flashing our best megawatt smiles.
"None," we said in unison and moved on to the next question.
