I had to hold myself together so I wouldn’t break down crying. Today was the day ... the day Sandy and I were going to get married.
I fixed my tie and turned around to face my best man, Nolan. I know he’s only fifteen, but he saved Drew’s life, and he and I have always really connected.
“How do I look?” I asked, swallowing hard.
“You look good, man,” he said, trying to smile at me.
I sighed. “I – I know this kinda sucks because of your sister and all, and trust me, I hate it but, Nolan ... what else can I do?”
Nolan shrugged. “Nothing, man. I’m just sorry this happened to you and Drew. You guys are perfect for each other.”
I nodded, breathing, “I know.”
 
"Do you, Colton Christopher Anderson, take Sandra Nicole Martin to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"
I swallowed hard and spoke, “I do.”
