“I love you, Callaway. I love you more than I ever thought possible.”
“I love you, sweetheart. I’ll love you until the day I die, and afterward too. I’m yours for all eternity.”
She giggled, her arms still around my neck.
“Okay, then.”
“Okay, what?”
“Okay, let’s get out of here.”
We waited until the cake was served. We made a big show of cutting it. Then she made a big show of getting some on my shirt.
We went to the kitchen to clean up. Except we didn’t stay there. Giggling like school children, we snuck to the giant industrial elevator and closed the gate. Only, I’d forgotten how loud the motor was.
As the elevator slowly started to descend, our friends surrounded the cage and started throwing flower petals on us. We laughed as they teased us for sneaking off, and I kissed my bride as a flurry of white rose petals showered down around us.
Like I said.
It was perfect.
