None of the things they talked about on television, no Vera Wang dress, no champagne waterfall, no DJ or place setting or party favor mattered. ~Beth Ch.51 — J.R. Ward

"It's definitely different." I give her a look.

She shakes her head at me, her lips twitching. "I bet there aren't many people who can say they got married to 'Livin' on a Prayer.'"

"There's a reason for that, babe. — Samantha Towle
