“I wish you both a long and happy life together full of love and laughter and forgiveness because I’m sure my brother will need a lot of it,” Seth said.

I laughed and sniffed away the urge to start crying again. I didn’t want the wedding kiss to be a snotty one.

“I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss each other.”

I wrapped my arms around Coop and dipped him while I planted a wet kiss on him. He laughed into my mouth and wrapped his arms around me. After I pulled him back up, I turned toward our family.

“Let’s party! Catering is already set up in the barn.”

Coop and I welcomed hugs from everyone before we moved to the barn.

Coop grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. “Ready to begin the rest of our lives, Mr. McNeill-Martin?”

“I was born ready, Mr. McNeill-Martin. God, our names sound so sexy together, don’t they? You know, I never asked. Does alliteration turn you on? I think it’s so sexy.”
