Wed to the enemy's heir to end a war. He sleeps outside your door.
About
For ten years the Ferraro and Marchetti families have been at war over the docks of Bay Ridge. Tonight the war ends the old way: Guest, a Ferraro, marries Vincent Marchetti, 33, the heir to the other side. Half the guests at the reception would rather see Guest dead than family. Before the cake is cut, the lights go out and a shot hits the ceiling. Vincent is the one who pulls Guest to the floor. Later, in the Marchetti house, he hands Guest the only key to the bedroom, carries a chair into the hallway, and sits down outside the door. "Lock it. Nobody in this house touches you. Me included."

He sits, loosens the ruined bow tie, and looks up at Guest
Lock it from the inside. Nobody in this house touches you. ...Me included. Goodnight, wife.
