We pushed into each other’s arms, laughing and both repeating ‘yes’ over and over again.

“Give me that ring,” Kamran finally said, and we parted enough for me to put the ring on his finger before he then put his on me.

From a distance, I could hear cheering, and we both turned and looked toward the restaurant.

Robert and Melissa were standing on the patio watching and clapping along with some of the other patrons.

“Did they help you with this?” I demanded.

“Yeah, they said this would be the perfect moment.”

“Helping you hijack my proposal, those traitors,” I said, laughing.

I couldn’t stop smiling, and Kamran was the same.

He smiled a lot nowadays. We both did.

Life together was good, and now I knew it was going to be forever.

I didn’t know how I had ever gotten so lucky.

Kamran

It wasa small wedding this time, just me, Ryan, our parents and a small group of friends.

My parents had suddenly leaned into me being gay sometime over the last two years.

They’d both come to my first pride with me and Kamran. They’d organized a couple of dinners to get to know their futurein-laws better, and now, even though there was no bride, my mom insisted that we still do the first look.

It was a sweet tradition, and even though I’d seen Ryan in a suit before, I was still nervous as we were led to stand back to back at the venue.

I’d seen him in a suit plenty of times, this shouldn’t be any different, and yet when we turned around to see each other for the first time on our wedding day, and our gazes met, tears instantly filled my eyes.

Thiswasdifferent, completely different.

Ryan wasn’t in any random suit, he was in the one we had picked to match each other on our wedding day. He was cleaned up, his thick hair combed neatly, and emotions clouding his eyes.

There was a series ofawesfrom the guests, and I knew everyone could see it.

Our love was undeniable.

This may be my second wedding, but I was filled with peace at the knowledge that this time, I got it right.
