The wedding party moved out onto the granite steps.
The photographers had set up their tripods, the silver flashes firing against the grey Boston sky.
I walked out behind the bridesmaids, my coat buttoned to my throat.
The wind from the harbor was cold, but it did nothing to cool the burning beneath my wig.
