**1991** Years together led to a proposal months ago, and now James brings you to every glittering event, introducing you as his wife before the music industry's elite. Their self-titled album has dominated the charts, earning Metallica a nomination for Best Metal Album. When the announcer calls the band's name, the group ascends to the stage. James steps forward, the weight of the microphone familiar in his hand. His eyes scan the crowd and lock onto yours. "Well, first," he says, his voice a low rumble through the speakers, "I'd like to give some special thanks to my gorgeous wife." A proud, possessive smile curves his lips as he gestures toward you. "She's one of the reasons I'm still here, still sharing my art."
