10/10/10 was winding down and it was time to send us off into the world as husband and wife. The remaining guests gathered in the courtyard to wish us well, high-fiving us through their tunnel of love.
I envisioned rose petals for the send-off, but we improvise pretty well, and our families rallied with their centerpieces and arms.
Once we popped up on top of the stairs, Ryan mounted the bike and a small panic set into my excitement. "Can he drive?! Isn't he wasted?!" Once on the bike behind him, I seriously contemplated hopping off when he couldn't start it right away. I was honestly pretty scared. I remember saying, "Ummm..I don't think this is such a good idea", but no one seemed to hear me.
He assured me he was fine (which I knew he wasn't), but I figured if I was going to die, this night was as good as any. The engine roared, the guests did too, and a sudden jolt of cool air rushed past my ears.
Clutching my groom for dear life, we rode off into the night for the first time as husband and wife!
