Ridiculous,even.

My heart is bursting with love, affection,pride,joy.

The officiant addresses our friends. He goes through a short storyaboutus.

Then he's readingapoem.

Turning to Kit, sayinghisvows.

Then he's recitingmyvows.

And I'm staring into Kit's eyes,repeatingthem.

And he slides it onto myfinger.

And my heart is bursting out of mychest.

I barely catch the officiant's words. "You maynowkiss."
