"When I met you, you seemed like you were barely restraining yourself from hauling me across the counter and killing me. At first glance, you seemed like just a surly, fresh-off-the-boat fighty type who didn't wanna be here and might not even last. So when I somehow managed to annoy you into liking me, I was surprised. Moreover, I was pleased with myself, 'cause it meant I'd get to see more of you," he intones in the manner of a speech. He gazes into the distance as he thinks out his words, partially skyward.
"And now I'm here, marrying you under the sunset on our birthday. Funny how life works. But I'm not complaining. Not just 'cause you'd hit me if I did," Gerry teases, looking up at her. "Thanks for being the prettiest thing to ever want to kick my ass. Of which there have been many."
