In what I can only assume is a formality, Trista takes the final rose from the All of Me pan and asks, "Ryan, will you accept this rose?" He will. He will, indeed. He voices over, "For Trista to tell me that she's in love with me...those are the words that I've been waiting to hear since I knew that I was falling in love with her." Trista adds, "He has absolutely everything that I've been looking for." He agrees that he's finally found what he's been looking for, telling us over a montage of their six glorious weeks together, "Without a doubt, this is far and away the biggest day of my life." Only a calligraphy "The End" scrolling across the screen right now could adequately highlight the fairy-tale nature of this impossible romance! Besides, my cynicism wouldn't fit in my carry-on luggage and it looks like I'll have to email this recap from the plane.

I'm lost without you people. Thanks for a lovely, lovely time and I'll see you all again the soonest.
