'The Beginning's End' by Lorraine Murphy

Once we're both there, it will be perfect. That's what she said as we argued, again, over the guest list. She wanted close friends and family. I desired the world. 

In seventeen hours, following a three year engagement, and two reschedules, we say "I do". Without Mom, Dad or Uncle Ray but with three of the string quartet. Research shows the smaller the wedding the greater the chance of success. Lucky, considering my phone still beeps with incoming apologies. But we're keeping positive. As long as our antigen tests stay negative. Once we're both there, it will be perfect.
