would that be, Mr. Miller?”
    “I’m an old-fashioned guy. I’m going to marry you, Miss Miller and make you Mrs. Miller before the day’s end.” He took her hand and rubbed her finger. “I see you’re still wearing that puny gold band I bought you.”
    “I would wear it forever.”
    “There’s a jewelry store and a formal shop by my apartment. Hadley filled my bank account. He claims he got lucky on some land purchases regarding his family’s estate in England. I’ll pay him back when I can, but this time, I’m going to buy you whatever you want.”
    “I’m not taking this ring off.”
    “You don’t have to, we’ll just add a wedding band… with more diamonds. There’s nothing too good for my gal. Around the corner is a little wedding chapel. If you want a big church wedding, we can still do that, but for now, I’m not letting you get away again.”
    At the formal wear shop, Jewel found an ivory lace knee length dress. The dress was so lovely and there were no seams up the backs of the stockings. She’d almost choked when she finally saw the price tag, but Glenn insisted she buy it. She felt cherished. Beautiful. The sales clerk helped her brush her hair to a coppery gleam and apply a little makeup and lipstick.
    “While you were in there getting ready, I popped out to the corner flower shop.” He handed her a simple bouquet of pink roses tied with an ivory bow and a white gardenia. “I remembered that you liked flowers that smell. The flower shop guy said that these are the best smelling.”
    She accepted it, put it behind her ear, and secured it with a bobby pin. The flower’s lovely fragrance wafted to her nose and she smiled.
    He grinned. “So it’s not bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding?”
    “That’s an old wives tale, and besides, I don’t believe in bad luck anymore.”
    The formal shop carried a few suits. Luckily, there was one was in Glenn’s perfect size.
    He came out of the dressing room and pulled on his shirt’s white cuffs. “I can’t get these straight,” he complained.
    Jewel helped with his cuffs and then tied his tie. She smiled as she stood on her tip toes.
    “What?” he asked, possibly reading the amusement in her eyes.
    “I’ve never seen you in anything but your Navy dress blues. I think I’m going to like this century. You look good enough to eat.”
    He grinned a naughty smile. “Why Miss Miller, are you propositioning me?”
    “What if I am?”
    He wiggled his eyebrows. “Then I’d have to whisk you away and marry you so you can finish propositioning me.”
    She laughed, as he paid the woman at the counter for their purchases.
    “Are you guys getting married today?” The sales clerk asked.
    “We sure are, miss. Today I’m the luckiest guy in the world.” Glenn snaked an arm around Jewel’s waist and pulled her close.

    They tried to get a marriage license, but with Jewel missing her proper picture identification they couldn’t apply. She knew that the officials wouldn’t believe her time-travel story, so finally they gave up. Glenn slapped the brick wall outside the courthouse and grumbled, “Well… hell. I hadn’t thought about that.”
    “Come on. Don’t be mad, we’ll work things out.”
    “Let’s talk to the man who owns the wedding chapel. Hopefully, he has some ideas,” Glenn squeezed her hand and pulled her out onto the sidewalk.

    After they’d talked with the man who owned the place, he agreed to do the ceremony only if Jewel and Glenn both agreed to sign documents stating the ceremony would be invalid. Without a license, it was all he could do.
    Glenn lifted the pen and frowned as he stared at the piece of paper. “I wanted this to be real. Official, you know?”
    Jewel laughed as she waited for him to sign his name and then took the pen and signed hers. “It’s real.”
    “I’m sorry. We’ll make it official the second we can. Hadley can get you a new ID. I’ve seen his. If he can get a new
