Two Days Before My Wedding, My Fiancé Left Our Video Call Open by Accident — and I Heard His Mother Ask, “Did You Get Her to Sign It?”
“Yes, baby.”
“Can we still go get the pancakes you promised?”
The pancakes.
Chocolate syrup, extra sprinkles, the little breakfast place with the sticky menus that the four of us loved, that I had promised them as a treat for surviving a long formal day.
In the middle of everything, my son was thinking about pancakes, because to him the important thing about that day had never been the wedding at all.
The important thing had always, only, been us.
