You’d just sat down at the reception—your dress still trailing a few flower petals, your heart still fluttering from the vows you barely got through without crying—when your sister stepped up with a remote in her hand and that look on her face that always means she’s up to something.

“Wait,” she said, grinning. “We have something for you.”

You glanced at Simon. He was already watching you, his hand resting over yours under the table, the smirk on his face showed he definitely already knew what was coming. The lights dimmed. The room quieted. And then the projector screen lit up.

The first video started playing.

It was Christmas—your very first one together. The video was a little shaky, filmed on a phone, but the moment was instantly familiar. Simon was in the middle of telling a story, totally animated, using his whole body like he always does. You could hear yourself interrupting him, laughing too much to keep quiet.

“Baby, stop,” he said, giggling.

“That’s what I mean though,” your voice chimed in, smiling through the screen. “It makes me happy.”

He paused, still laughing, then looked right into the camera and said, “Baby, I’ll tell you stories as many times as you’d like.”

Then it shifted to another clip—your second anniversary. He was filming again, and you were opening a gift. Something way fancier than you expected, the kind that makes you squeal and playfully act mad about it.

“Ah! Bae, whyyy?” you said, half dramatic, half in love.

Simon laughed behind the camera again, clearly just happy to see you happy.

And then more clips rolled.

One where you were walking hand in hand down a quiet street, and Simon turned the camera down toward your fingers laced together and softly said, “Look at us. We made it.”

Each little moment was something you didn’t even realize he’d saved. Tiny pieces of your life, stitched together.

When the video finally ended and the lights came back on, you were still holding his hand. You turned to him, already glassy-eyed, and he gave you the softest smile, “Did I do okay?”
