I really didn’t need a bachelor party, but my brothers insisted. Jake and
Liam just wouldn’t take no for an answer. Even my eldest brother, Shane,
insisted we do this. After all, the bachelorette party is in full swing at our
parents’ house, and Shane said I couldn’t sit home alone moping. Hey, I
don’t mope. I’m glad Molly’s celebrating with the ladies and all the kids.
So, here we are, my brothers and I, our dad, and our close friends in a
private party room at Tanks, a neighborhood bar in Lincoln Park.
Shane is seated to my left, Jake to my right. Liam is sitting directly
across the table from me, next to our dad. My sisters’ husbands—Jonah and
Dominic—are here, as are Sam and Cooper, Cameron Stewart, Troy
Spencer, Mack Donovan, and Miguel Rodriguez. It’s a big group. A rowdy
one, too.
Jake shoves a cold glass into my hand. “Drink up, pal,” he says as he
thumps my back.
Undoubtedly, it’s beer. I take a sip.
When Shane stands, the rest of the guys quickly quiet down. “As
Jamie’s big brother, I have a few words to say, as well as a bit of advice to
offer him on the art of matrimony.”
Chuckles erupt up and down the long table.
“First of all,” Shane says, “I’ve never met a more courageous man than
Jamie. He sacrificed a lot in service to his country, including his eyesight,
but he’s never let his blindness stop him from going after what he wanted. I
remember the day he moved out of my house to live on his own. He needed
to show the world that, blind or not, he could take care of himself. Turns
out, that was his lucky day because that’s when he met Molly.” Shane lays a
hand on my shoulder. “The rest, as they say, is history. A toast—to my
brother and his beautiful bride-to-be.”
I lift my glass. I’ll drink to that.
“May your future life together as husband and wife be smooth sailing,”
he says.
Lots of glasses touch mine, and I can’t help smiling. I’ve waited a long
time for Molly to make an honest man of me. As I take a drink, I hear lots
of murmured agreement.
Jake snakes his arm around my neck and hauls me close. “I’m happy for
you, man.”
“And now for the marital advice,” Shane says. “Just remember this:
your wife is always right. Even when she’s not, she is. Don’t forget that. As
a husband, your job is to be kind and patient. Remember—putting up with
us guys is hard work.”
Now there’s a bit more than just chuckling in the room.
Serving staff arrive then, bringing platters of food—hot wings, nachos,
and onion rings—and of course more pitchers of beer.
The guys take turns offering either congratulations or words of advice.
“Shane’s advice is solid,” Jake says when it’s his turn to speak. “Of
course in my case, it’s literally true. Annie is always right.”
More laughter.
