“Shhh!” Landry shushed everyone. “Let them get married.”

Madison gasped. “Oh. My. God. Are you wearing an engagement ring?”

Everyone turned.

Landry covered her hand, ducking her face. Rush grinned like he’d won the lottery.

“I didn’t want to say anything until after this wedding,” Landry confessed. “And before the next one.”

“What the fuck, Rush? You trying to one-up me too?” Kruger hollered.

“Congratulations!” Jess exclaimed, rushing over to hug Landry.

“I guess you were next!” Rory laughed.

Arsen cleared his throat. “This is great and I’m happy for you, but we were in the middle of something.”

“Sorry.” Landry was sheepish. “I should have taken it off.”

“Like hell you will,” Rush growled.

Bennett cleared his throat. “If I could have the room?”

Everyone turned back.

“No more interruptions until we’re finished,” he told everyone.

Arsen nodded approvingly.

“Who gives this groom to the groom for marriage?” Bennett asked, looking at me.

“Me,” Kruger said.

“Me too,” Gram offered.

“And who gives this groom to the groom for marriage?” he asked, looking at Arsen this time.

“I do,” Christina called.

“Me too.” Bennett smiled. “We’re very proud of you both.”

I bit down on my lower lip to keep it from wobbling.

“And so by the power vested to me by the great state of Virginia, I now?—”

“Wait!” I called, shocking everyone.

“We said no more interruptions,” Jamie scolded.

“It’s his wedding,” Wes whispered.

“Oh. Right. Sorry, bro.”

Bennett glanced at me. “Matt, is there something you would like to add?”

“Yes,” I said even though I felt like throwing up.

“Matthew,” Arsen cautioned.
