Every single bit of this glorious day. Because I want to remember it exactly as it happened. I want to remember it always. I am an engaged woman! There. It is written. I am engaged to Robert Whitehall! My best friend from childhood and my beau since we were sixteen. And even though I’ve thought of this day for four long years—dreamt about it, even—it couldn’t have been more perfect. That’s the thing about dreams. When they come true, they never play themselves out the way you envisioned. Real life is always so much better. Most people, including Robert and me, saw this coming. Planned for it, even. But nothing compares to it actually happening. Nothing! I’ve loved him for so long, and now? Now I can love him out loud and forever. So, here it goes. A complete recounting of the best day of my life. The day started off sleepy and slow.
