Scotty & Becky Get Married
Well, it went down just as they said it would. Two crazy kids taking a great, big, impulsive leap of faith into the real world. . . . or a fairy tale. . . I guess only time will tell. Becky is 19, Scotty is 26. Although they have only known each other for a month or so, statistically, they have as much a chance for success in this marriage as they do for that other thing. That's the real world speaking. . . well. . . fuck the real world and fuck statistics. I'm a big fan of love. I'm a big fan of marriage. I'm a big fan of dreaming up something big, that maybe only you can see. And hell, if you can find someone who can see it too, and is, as excited as you. Baby, that's all she wrote.
Why not. Scotty wants to be an acrobat with a wife who is half the act. Becky has been to the acrobat school that Scotty studies and trains at. She has put on the harness and is learning to do a back flip. I envy them. It's a heavy thing to go against the grain of reality. Life is an adventure. A fleeting moment in time, where getting what you want it up to you.
I wish them as much happiness as they can cram into that fleeting moment.
