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

She'll be the one falling head over heels in love. And when she thinks I'm about to catch her and reciprocate, I'll step aside and let her cras
