Awkward Marriage Blurb
In Awkward Marriage by Danny Walker, the long-anticipated moment to give Sue the ring arrives, and her disappointment is palpable as she sees it. Justin’s whispered “Told you,” barely registers with Jake, who smiles and slips the ring on her finger. As the preacher declares them man and wife, Jake lifts Sue’s veil, marveling at her beauty despite her minimal makeup. Her simple yet elegant taste is evident, and Jake anticipates her reaction to the new wardrobe he’s arranged, realizing he must involve Sue in the selection process this time. As he bends to kiss her, she turns her head slightly, leading to an awkward kiss on the side of her mouth. Jake, determined to surprise her, wraps her in his arms and kisses her deeply, leaving Sue too stunned to react. The onlookers respond with chuckles and sighs, while Jake revels in his small victory, noting her flustered and then furious expression.
As they turn to face the guests, the preacher’s announcement of “Mr. and Mrs. Jake Mitchell” echoes in the air. Sue’s reluctance to walk down the aisle is clear, prompting Jake to gently lead her by the arm, reminding her of their agreement: “We don’t want to disappoint the people. Remember, it’s only for six months.” Sue sighs, resigned, and starts walking with him, maintaining a composed exterior despite the inner turmoil. The weight of their arrangement looms over her, a constant reminder of the complexities and emotional entanglements they must navigate in their unconventional marriage.
As they greet well-wishers and pose for photographs, the undercurrents of tension between Jake and Sue are palpable. The facade they present to the world contrasts sharply with the private dynamics of their relationship. Jake’s intentions, while perhaps well-meaning, clash with Sue’s desires for autonomy and genuine connection. Over the next six months, they must learn to balance their public appearances with their private struggles, discovering whether their awkward marriage can evolve into something more meaningful or if it will crumble under the strain of unmet expectations and unspoken truths.
