We get to the Elvis-not-Elvis wedding chapel, and I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s a small bona fide chapel, but it’s quaint and lovely inside. There’s a wrought iron arbor covered in a variety of every kind of flower one can imagine. It’s absolutely stunning. We’re barely on time for our seven thirty wedding appointment, so the minister and his assistant rush us inside where we sign all the appropriate paperwork before our ceremony is performed.

“Nothing like cutting it close on your special day,” I say. Since we were running late, I didn’t have time to do my hair, so it’s super wavy, and not in a good way, but I am wearing my dress and “fancy,” but sensible shoes. I say that because they’re flats. Beck loves my curly hair, saying it reminds him of English’s.

“You really could be her mother.”

“English’s hair has symmetry. Mine looks like it got stuck in a wind tunnel.”

“You’re too hard on yourself, Sheridan.” His hand reaches for a chunk of twisted locks, and he rubs his fingers back and forth through the mess.

The wedding lasts all of five minutes, but when the ring time comes, I’m amazed at what he slips on my finger. Beck bought a stunning diamond band with a huge center stone for me. It works as both an engagement and wedding ring. He also bought himself a plain, but lovely platinum band. Our wedding date is engraved in both rings.

I thought I’d feel empty during the ceremony, but oddly, a warmth spreads throughout me. It’s not so much because of the wedding itself, but because Beck, usually a douche face, has suddenly become kind and is trying his best to make this special. This, coupled with our little romp in the sack before we came here, is softening me up toward him. Whether or not it’s a good thing remains to be seen, but it’s the way it is. And it makes me happy.

On the way back to the hotel, I can’t stop staring at my ring. “This is too much.”

“It’s perfect on your hand, and I want this to mean something, even though this can’t be what you would have chosen for your ideal engagement and wedding. I know running away to Vegas isn’t everyone’s idea of a great wedding, but I want us to look back and remember this day as something we enjoyed.”

I lean over and kiss him. “Thank you for being so thoughtful.”

Dinner is amazing. The fountain show is every bit as beautiful as Beck told me it would be. The food is delicious, and Beck tells me about the first time he came here. It was his first travel shoot, and he was super nervous. Young and naïve, he didn’t know what to expect, but the magazine insisted on him, and he showed up freaked as hell. They had him shoot the fountains and wanted to see what he could do, so he gave them something different. He shot them in sequence, as each one blasted up in the air.
