My parents sneered, ‘A sailor? That’s the best you can do?’ My brother snorted, ‘No one’s going to bother showing up for that wedding.’ Then they all walked away from me. So I walked down the aisle by myself. And then our wedding aired on national television— and their phones wouldn’t stop ringing…
The concept of walking down the aisle solo had never crossed my mind in the vivid dreams of my youth. Yet, there I stood, anchored at the entrance...
