Mara married five times—yes, five. And every single time, she insisted on having a full, proper wedding ceremony. At each wedding, I had a role: giving the official toast. By the fifth wedding, I was handed the microphone just as I had the previous four times. I admitted to reusing the same heartfelt speech I’d delivered before—words full of warmth, good wishes, and sincerity. But this time, it turned out to be different:…
