Over the last few months I’ve had to endure him making mood boards for every occasion.

“I’m ready,” I tell him, because I’m so damn ready it’s not funny. It’s been two months since Emma accepted my second proposal. She says it’s the first and only proposal but I maintain it was the second because I was already mostly in love with her by the time we got to Montana. I just didn’t realize it yet.
