I doubt there was one guest who attended our wedding noticed anything out of the ordinary. On the face of it, everything appeared to be as it should be. My beautiful trophy bride was about half an hour late walking down the aisle, but she looked classy and stunning in her Vera Wang wedding dress.

There was a musky, masculine odor in her hair but I didn’t have to wonder why.
