A/N: I added "champagne" as I think "near drowning" counts as one :)
John gets up and raises his glass, and the guests quiet down. "I would like to thank you all for coming, and of course I would like to thank my future wife for storming into my life at Hawaii five months ago." Wren smiles to him warmly and slightly lifts her flute as well. It is Golden Star White Jasmine Sparkling Tea in her glass, but no one has to know. "I would like to thank my childhood pool trainer, Mr. Boggins, for the traumatic experience of nearly drowning at the age of six," he raises his glass a bit, "Thank you, Mr. Boggins, wherever you are. I am also grateful for Wren's shortsightedness and mistaking a buoy for a shark, and trying to climb me like a tree while I was cowardly pretending to swim still holding on to the ladder. I would also like to thank that nameless nurse in the hospital who said we looked cute together. And most of all, thank you, Wren, for making me the jammiest bloke alive." He leans in and quickly kisses her lips. "To future Mrs. Wren Thorington!" The guests cheer, and Wren bites into her bottom lip. What a duffus!
The reminder that this is a "kkolmakov is taking prompts game." See instructions in chapter 40.
