“I wanted to give it to you while we were here, but then I just got to thinking, we’re already in Vegas, and you don’t want a big wedding.”
“The only wedding I want is you and me and a justice of the peace,” she said.
“We’re in the best place to do exactly that,” I said with a shrug. “What do you say?”
“I say … yes,” she said.
“Really?” I’d half expected her to say no at the time, but looking back, I don’t know why I was surprised. This was Mila, after all.
“Let’s do it.”
And so, we did. At a little venue in Vegas that actually turned out to be quite nice. I wore jeans and a white button-down shirt, as requested by Mila, and she wore a red dress. Yes,thered dress. And she looked amazing. I will never let her get rid of that dress.
So, all alone with someone from the venue as a witness, we made promises to love and care for each other for as long as we both shall live. And that’s exactly what I plan to do.
We went to dinner that night with the team. No one but us knew what we’d done. It was sort of our secret wedding reception, even though Mila didn’t want to call it that.
I’m happy to report that not one thing was jinxed.
