One“Almost enough to make you believe in the fineinstitution of marriage, isn’t it?” Ryan Beardsley saidas he watched his friend, Raphael de Luca, dancewith his radiant new bride, Bryony.The reception was taking place inside MoonIsland’s small, nondescript municipal building. Itwasn’t exactly where Ryan imagined any of hisfriends would host a wedding reception, but hesupposed it was fitting that Rafe and Bryony wouldmarry here on the island where so much of theirrelationship had been forged.The bride positively glowed, and the swell of herbelly added to her beauty. They stood in the middleof the makeshift dance floor, Bryony tucked intoRafe’s protective hold, and they were so focused oneach other that Ryan doubted the world around themexisted. Rafe looked like he’d been handed theuniverse, and maybe he had.“They look disgustingly happy,” Devon Carter saidnext to him.
