Thank fucking God, Jennifer’s parents arrived safely and just in time. Standing under the shell-encrusted chuppah beside my best man, Jaime, and surrounded by members of the wedding party, I faced our thousand-plus guests. So many famous faces. And so many I didn’t recognize. My parents’ social connections could not be rivaled. Photographers were scattered everywhere, taking photos with their flash cameras. Overhead, helicopters circled the dark gray sky. News crews were trying to get the scoop on the Hollywood wedding of the century. For sure, it would be a featured story on tonight’s newscasts, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to tune in. Dressed in my tux, I waited anxiously for my bride. I hadn’t seen her since early afternoon.

“The Wedding March” began to play. Enid had managed to install an elaborate organ—the kind you saw at Radio City Music Hall—in our backyard along with a state-of-the-art sound system. The music reverberated in my ear. To be honest, that’s not the music my tiger had wanted to walk down the aisle. She had hoped to walk down to our song: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” But Enid insisted that be our first dance song. The bitch, we’d decided, was just not worth fighting. So we compromised.

My eyes stayed glued on the veranda. Where was she? My heart hammered. Finally, a vision in white appeared on the arm of her dapper father. My tiger. My bride. My wife-to-be. She met my gaze, and a small smile curled on her lips.

The walk to the chuppah was a long one. And Jen walked very slowly down the winding path with her still disabled father. One baby step at a time. While Harold was beaming, her smile looked forced, her face pinched. My poor baby! I knew she felt like shit and hoped she’d taken another Advil. And I knew she wasn’t thrilled about her wedding gown, but to me it was beautiful. And she was beautiful. Every eye was on her as she made her way down the aisle. Cameras and cell phones flashed.

The minutes felt like hours. As she took hesitant steps, she occasionally turned her head to acknowledge our guests. My eyes never strayed from her, and when she met my gaze, they silently told her everything was going to be all right. And that I loved her. Mind, body, and soul.

Overwhelmed with tingly emotion I’d never felt before, I just wanted her beside me. And actually thought about sweeping her off her feet and carrying her to the altar. I wanted to say our vows like it was yesterday and exchange those two magical words, “I do.” We just had to get through tonight. Tomorrow, we would be on our way to the secret honeymoon destination I’d painstakingly arranged. I couldn’t wait to be lying on a beach and making glorious love to my new wife on the day I turned thirty.
