EPILOGUE

A Few Months Later... ACE He walked back and forth restlessly right in front of the main entrance of the church. His best buddies stood relaxed, leaning against a marble wall. While he was experiencing the tension in his body again, just like their first wedding. Noel and Jason were just standing next to him, grinning from ear to ear, and he wanted to strangle the two of them as they watched him twitch. Any minute now they would head up to the altar to wait for the prettiest bride and the rest of the entourage. Wait. Wait. Wait. Just calm down Ace, wait for a few more minutes, Gina will come too, he said to himself. He felt that he was tensed again. He wondered if it was uncommon for a groom to pass out. Why is it that Gina always comes late? Maybe she did this on purpose, he decided. This was some kind of test, some rite of passage. Well, he still wasn't going to be affected by her being late, instead he was going to march right up to the altar like a good boy and wait.
