Possible SPOILERS ...
I got a couple a things ta say, an yer just gonna have ta take em as gospel cause Ellery ain’t comin down here ta repeat em for ya.
:) Ennis is pretty good at being a boss. And the end with Wayne was hilarious. If Wayne didn’t catch Ennis at a bad moment, it would be an interesting conversation. LOL

Milli,
I see you figure out how to read the story while at work. :) I was wondering how come you can edit and post those pictures at work, but not reading the story.
I just cut and paste them in a Word document and pretent that I am working. :P Don't tell anyone, ok?

As I read their vows to each other, I was reminded of the scene in A Love Born from Steel by our very own Leslie here, where Jack and Ennis were at the fair in Quanah and decided to buy each other rings, putting it on each other's hands and saying simply: "That's it". Seems very simple, but to them, it was like a wedding!

Thanks for the great compliment, Milli, one of my favorite scenes in the whole story, to be honest. Just a few points of clarification...they didn't decide to buy the rings until after they were on their fingers...it was more of a spontaneous thing. And they each put their own ring on (ie, Jack put his on his own right hand ring finger). When Jack put his on, Ennis reached over and touched it and said "That's it," then Jack did the same thing for Ennis. If anyone feels like re-living this moment, here is the chapter:
