“Yes! Yes!” I cry out. “Of course, I will!”

“Oh, my God!” Neon screeches. “I call dibs on hair and makeup!”

“A toast!” Cassius cries out, and flutes of champagne and water are passed around.

I stand, allowing Hunter to slip the ring on my finger, then Cassius weasels his way between us, lifting his glass to toast us:

“May thy life be long and joyful,

Thy friends be tried and true;

And your journeys together be a great adventure,

As your love grows strong like superglue.”

The room cries out, “Cheers!” and glasses are raised and sipped.

Hunter pushes Cassius aside, snaking an arm around my waist and bringing his lips to mine for a gentle kiss.

“I love you, Ari, with all of my heart.”

Without hesitation, I reply back, “And I love you!”
