LOGINShe was teary by the end, which made me feel like I'd absolutely nailed it. "I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiant said. "You may kiss your bride." I pulled Paige into my arms and kissed her while everyone cheered. At the reception, Danny gave his best man speech with way too mu
ASHER I'd performed in front of millions of people, won three acting awards, and done my own stunts in a movie where I nearly died twice. But standing in this room waiting to get married, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life. Ten dates. That's what I'd told Paige we neede

PRINCESS When I saw Frank coming back with two coffee cups in his hands, limping slowly and carefully to avoid spilling, I quickly wiped my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. I could not let him see me like this, could not let him know how completely his story had devastated
