title: The Wedding Contract
author: Jamison, Kelly
description: Marriage Contract
  
  
  Party of the First Part:
  
  Jake McClellan
  I promise to hold Laura when she cries at silly movies, pour tea for Molly and her friends at tea parties and be the official family mistletoe hanger. From this day forward Molly is my daughter. . .  and Laura is my wife, friend, and. . .  lover.
  
  
  Party of the Second Part:
  
  Laura Halstead
  I promise to laugh at Jake's jokes, ride shotgun on his tandem bicycle, and eat the fish he catches (though I refuse to clean them!).  I gladly welcome him into my house, into my bed, and into my. . . life.
  
  Both Parties do hereby decree that this contract is based solely on convenience, and not on matters of the heart. . .
  A most convenient arrangement until they fell in love.
