Epilogue
"Okay you guys here we go." I said happily as I tossed my bouquet behind me. After much squealing and laughing I turned to see who had caught it.
I couldn't believe I was finally here. That I had finally found and married the man of my dreams. It was a sunny August day; my twenty-first birthday to be exact. It was Roger's idea. He said turning twenty-one and getting married made you more mature, so we decided I needed all the maturity I could get and did both on the same day.
Mark and I ha dated successfully for almost a year after that night. I didn't cheat on him once. Eventually I even told him why I had cheated on him in the first place. He understood better than I ever thought he would. But then again he was my Mark and we were closer than ever. Ironically he proposed to me on Valentine's Day, which was the day Joanne and I had almost gotten committed. Somehow I knew this relationship would work. I was willing to spend the rest of my life making sure it did.
I turned around to see who had caught my bouquet. Mimi had it and was looking at Roger warily. He nudged her. "So how bout it?" he asked "Marry me?"
She glared at him "Roger Davis, if you think I'm going to marry you without you giving me a ring or anything-" the words died in her mouth as Roger whipped out a huge diamond ring.
"So will you marry me?" he asked again
"Okay" Mimi agreed and they kissed.
We went through the rest of the wedding stuff and proceeded to the reception, where Mark and I were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Mark Cohen. As we danced our first dance as husband and wife, I looked around at all my friends. Collins was dancing with Joanne and her new girlfriend the Yale graduate doctor, Roger and Mimi doing it in the corner where they thought no one could see them, even Benny was there, sitting at a table with Alison. And of course, Angel was in everyone's hearts. And for once in my life I was completely happy. Mark looked down at me and said "Hey, I bet I know what you're thinking." I laid my head on his shoulder.
"What, Mr. Smarty-pants?"
"This is perfect" he said smiling. And we kissed simple as that. Perfect.
No Day But Today!
