Your Best Man Is Your Groom

Five years with Gloria, and my life felt like a black-and-white newspaper.

She was rigidly proper, detesting any form of communication that wasn't plain text.

If I sent a simple emoticon, she’d say she didn't get it.

If I sent a meme, she’d call it childish.

Then came the night before our wedding. I emailed her the final draft of our wedding vows.

Instead of her usual brief, text-only acknowledgment, she replied with a GIF. It was a cute, animated cartoon bear blowing a kiss.

The caption read: "Kisses for Bear."
