The news had begun gossiping about it. While we'd avoided some scandal by being engaged, the paparazzi still couldn't get enough about the rumors over my pregnancy. There was a lot of probing questions, people shouting at Hunter or I when we were out about if this was a shotgun wedding or not. If I wasn't kind of excited to be marrying Hunter, I would have cared that our charade hadn't been entirely successful. For scheduling reasons, we chose the Saturday before the Hawks’ last preseason game for the ceremony. Once the regular season began, Hunter’s time would be controlled by the Hawks. Everything came together just beautifully for the September wedding. Even my lace dress, baby bump and all, looked fantastic. I could have hidden my pregnancy had I really tried, but since everyone knew that we were pregnant, I was happy to show it off a little bit. It actually felt nice to include the baby in the wedding. In order to make sure the nuptials were positively received, I invited friendly reporters to the ceremony, offering them an invite to the event of the year in exchange for an upbeat story.
