...married. That was such a special day in my childhood. I was a blossoming, bosomy young girl of 12, and Renee was a mature and handsome man of 45. And our relationship has been so wonderful, so passionate-- he is like a wine that gets better with age. We will have children soon and I will sing them epic love ballads every night before they fall asleep. And they can help Renee walk up and down the stairs in our 65-bedroom mansion since Renee will be well into his 90s by the time they start walking...
