Vows before a supportive crowd
The officiant began the ceremony, his voice booming through the quiet chapel. I looked out at the audience and saw only friendly faces looking back at me.
Francis’s parents sat in the front row, beaming with pride and support for their son. Our close group of friends filled the other seats, cheering silently as we turned to each other.
We exchanged our vows with shaky voices, promising to stand by each other no matter what happened with my family.
