Chapter 106

Pastor Lisa looked at them and said, “Please face each other. I will now read their vows.” Although they had anticipated saying their vows, they gave permission to her to read it to them if one of them couldn’t read to each other. Pad knew this change was about him as Lisa winked.

One twin tugged RJ’s coat. RJ looked down and accepted a ring with black thread. Pad turned to Jay, the twin by his side and whispered. “Jay, do you have the ring?” Jay nodded and fetched it from his pants and handed to Pad. As Pastor Lisa read aloud, they changed rings so they had the right ones.

“Do you, Ransom James Davis, take Padrick as your husband? To have and to hold in sickness and in health? In good times and in bad? Through fair weather and good weather? Though happy moods and moods when coffee is not available?”

As the crowd laughed, RJ replied. “I do!” He held Pad’s ring and then took Pad’s left hand. “With this ring, I thee wed.”
