Olajide ended up breaking three of his ribs and his tibia. He was on bed rest for two weeks, and crutches for another three. He was still in the boot on the day of our wedding.

He hobbles over to me, tuxedo on, full smile. I'm wearing my more comfortable suit instead of the "tight, sexy" thing that Jide made me wear to the Payne wedding.

JJ takes my hands and looks me in the eye. "Are you ready?"

"I could never be more." I give him a cheeky grin.

We enter the church, hand in hand. Everyone is looking happily, Ethan and Tobi and Harry and Josh Vik both of the Cals, Em and Sarah, Manny.  All watching. I can't believe how far I've come, years of anxiety and fear. I'm not on the sideline anymore.  I'm no longer just watching.

I'm no longer just watching.
