Sam keeps smiling. “This may seem sort of sudden, considering our rocky start, but I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. I know without a doubt, I want to spend the rest of my days making you happy, and building our future together.”

I’m making all kinds of faces to stop the happy tears from streaming down my face, but it’s all in vain. They slip out, one by one.

“So, Brynn Erlenmeyer…” He swallows, taking a moment to compose himself. “Will you please make me the luckiest man on the planet by being my wife?”

“Yes,” I choke out.

With the biggest self-satisfied grin on his face, Sam stands and slides a rose-gold silicone ring onto my finger. “Don’t worry, you’ll get a real one later. I didn’t want to risk losing it in the mud.”

“It’s perfect,” I say, and throw my arms around his neck, pulling his lips to mine.

Cheers and applause go up all around us as we seal our commitment with a tender, albeit muddy, kiss.

Sam pulls back and presses his forehead to mine. “Oh, and I’m absolutely taking your name.”

I chuckle. “We can hand out flasks as our party favors.”

“I love you so much, Brynn Erlenmeyer.”

“I love you, too, Sam Mudboy.”

The End
