He's Getting Married, and I'm Not the Bride

From childhood sweethearts at ten to walking down the aisle at twenty-nine, this is the story, through my eyes, of an ordinary boy's nineteen-year journey to adulthood.

Torn between youthful regrets and the secret stirrings of adult love, he repeatedly reflects on himself as he struggles between fixation and reality. In the end, he understands responsibility and boundaries, makes peace with the past, and walks clear-eyed toward the life meant for him.

I put this story to paper from the perspective of an observer who also lived through it, recording every moment of affection and every choice across his long years.
