ANGIE
“Ready for this, sweetheart?” Tyler says, gazing at me, his blue
eyes twinkling.
I’m beyond ready. I’ve been dreaming about marrying him since I was
fourteen years old.
He clears his throat, and the corners of his lips twitch like he’s stifling a
smile. A trickle of dread drips down my spine. I know that look.
The hall is deathly quiet. Our guests lean forward in their seats. They
can’t wait to hear this.
My breath is shallow from nerves, but I can still smell the booze coming
out of Tyler’s pores. He partied hard last night and started early today. Good
thing he wasn’t the one who had to walk down the aisle. He wouldn’t have
been able to do it in a straight line.
“Uh oh,” he says, patting his pockets. My heart leaps into my throat.
Did he forget his phone?
“Oh. Here it is.” He laughs and holds it up. A few people chuckle. My
heart sticks where it leaped.
Everyone’s been joking about Tyler writing his own vows, but it was his
idea. He didn’t want a preacher to marry us. He wanted his friend Duck,
who got ordained on the internet, to do the ceremony. Duck said he would,
but he didn’t want to do too much. Tyler promised him fifty bucks and said
we’d write our own vows. Duck said, “Bet.”
My best friend Madison said Tyler’s going to burp his vows like he does
the lyrics to Kid Rock’s “Bawitdaba” every time he chugs a beer. I thought
he’d be more likely to forget them in the car or in his other pants. I asked
him earlier when we got to the Elks Lodge, though, and he said not to
worry.
Actually, he said, “For once, can you not worry?”
Now he’s scrolling and scrolling. Did he accidentally delete his vows?
“What’s going on?” I whisper.
“Oh! Here they are!” he says brightly. He’s playing around.
I can hardly swallow past my heart in my throat, and he’s joking.
He flashes a smile at our girls sitting in the front row. “Ready for
Daddy’s vows?”
“Yes, Daddy,” Tamblyn answers obediently. The crowd goes awww, and
my chest eases.
The girls are sitting in the front row with Madison’s mom, Miss Dawn.
Tamblyn’s spindly legs stick straight out of her ruffled petticoats. She’s
munching Goldfish crackers from a bag on her lap. Ivy is twisted around
and folded over the back of her white plastic folding chair, chatting to my
aunt.
Tyler’s mom is on the opposite side of the aisle, casting a stink eye at
her grandbabies and muttering to her sister. I just know she’s saying that the
girls wouldn’t be eating Goldfish or turned around in their seats if they were
sitting with her. She’s right, they wouldn’t, but they’d be bawling because
she’d yelled at them about some petty thing, for sure.
