It was unique, and beautiful. The officiator stood at the other end of the aisle, and all of a sudden it seemed like a longer walk than Daniel thought he could make. The world spun a little, and he placed a hand on a column until the dizziness passed. What was he thinking? Going to Vegas and getting married was something people did on a whim. But not like this.
