"Rancher's wife. Now why do I like that sound of that so much," he laughs.
We spend the rest of the day eating, drinking, and being very merry. The kids are the first on the dancefloor, tripping over the adults who are dusting off their slow-dancing skills. The buffet looks like it's been stripped by locusts, and Connie and the Banburys look happier than any bride and groom I've ever seen.
And always, by my side, stand my five gorgeous ranchers. I thought they were ruthless. I thought they'd ruined my life, but as it turns out, they've made me the happiest woman in the room, and that is saying something!
