The Ceremony

Gary walked down the aisle escorted by his three children, the “Best Kids,” who stood beside him at the altar. Renee walked down the aisle as a mariachi band played. The couple exchanged vows they’d written together, including vows to their newly created family, in a ceremony officiated by a close friend.
