Chapter 45

Lug Nut

I’m in place at the front of the church with my best man Axel and groomsmen Rowdy and Tank. I can’t stop myself from looking around and thinking about the phone call I got earlier. I can’t believe Ailee was worried I wouldn’t show. Wild horses couldn’t stop me from coming today. I will admit a small part of me was worried Ailee would show. I kept thinking she would figure out that she was marrying down while I was marrying up. The church was decorated tastefully. The pews had fall leaves and ribbons on the end. There was an archway that I was standing under covered in leaves and the ribbons were the club colors. I wouldn’t think they would go together but they did. It was sweet that Ailee tried to include part of my life in the ceremony. But I should have expected anything less from her.

I look out at our guests and see Ailee’s side is packed and overflowing to the side for my family. There are even people standing around the back and side. Some are guests, some are guards
