Not in a huge hotel.
Not in front of hundreds of guests.
In the backyard of my home.
Sarah stood beside Emily.
Mike helped me tie my necktie.
Emily’s mother sat in the front row, healthy again.

She wore a simple white dress.
And to me, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

I did not marry because having a younger woman beside me made me feel younger.
I married a woman with whom I never had to pretend to be someone else.
