to get Brian out of bed?”
“Rowdy!” Stephanie meant to scold him this time.
“I’m out of here.” He laughed as he darted down the stairs, and Stephanie heard the door slam behind him.
Stephanie set the roses on the dresser. Kaitlyn followed her, and they both took turns smelling the fragrant flowers. Then Stephanie took the envelope from the holder and handed it to Kaitlyn who opened the envelope and read the note out loud.
‘To My Beautiful Bride. You are my once-in-a-lifetime dream come true – I love you with all my heart – Brian.’ Stephanie stood still for a moment and relished the words. She could never love him more than she did at this very moment.
“Oh, Stephanie,” Kaitlyn sighed. “That’s so romantic. I wish Brian were mine. He is so dreamy.”
Stephanie laughed out loud. “It has to be the nail polish – down girl!” The door opened and Jan bounced into the room. Stephanie was glad that Jan was overseeing all of the fine details. She was always so elegant. Stephanie knew that Jan would add a classy touch to her wedding, too.
“Hello again, ladies,” Jan said, bubbling with enthusiasm. “Stephanie, everything is set up outside and it looks absolutely spectacular. The guests are beginning to arrive, so it’s time to get dressed. The photographer will be up in a moment to take some candid shots. I’m going back downstairs to make sure all of the last minute details are done right, but I’ll be back when it’s time to walk down the aisle. Now try to relax and have fun.”
“Oh, Kaitlyn,” Stephanie squealed after Jan left. “It’s almost time. I wonder if Brian is as nervous as I am right now.”
“Get real, Steph,” Kaitlyn giggled as she slipped into her strapless tea-length dress. “Brian only has one thing on his mind right now.” Then she carefully removed Stephanie’s gown from the garment bag.
Stephanie held her arms up while Kaitlyn pulled the satin gown over her head. It gracefully fell to the floor and the girls smoothed and patted until every seam was in place. Kaitlyn attached the flowing train of lace and lifted the train away from Stephanie until its length stretched across the floor. The photographer walked into the room and began snapping pictures. “That’s it. Hold it – hold it,” he said over and over as he walked around the room to get every angle.
Stephanie stood in front of the mirror while Kaitlyn fastened a diamond pendant around her neck. Then Stephanie put on her mother’s tiara. The overlapping diamond hearts glimmered with brilliance. She turned from side to side to admire her reflection. I feel like a real princess.
Jan hurried into the room clapping her hands. “It’s time! Kaitlyn, you look adorable. Violet accentuates your grey eyes,” she complimented as she smoothed Kaitlyn’s dress. “Now take your place,” she directed as she pointed toward the hallway outside of the door. “And remember – walk slowly.”
Kaitlyn handed Stephanie her lush bouquet of violet hibiscus, purple clematis, fuchsia-speckled caladium leaves, and contrasting pink roses. “Good luck, Steph. I hope you will always be this happy.”
Stephanie watched as Kaitlyn took her place. They had shared so many laughs, so many secrets, even tears, as they journeyed into adulthood. I’m so glad you’re here to share my special day, Kaitlyn.
“You look magnificent, Stephanie,” Jan fondly praised as she kissed her cheek. “I’m so happy for you.” Stephanie stood poised as Jan inspected her gown to make sure every seam was perfect. “You’re all set. Take your place with your dad.”
Robert entered the room. Stephanie looked at him and smiled. His steps came to a sudden halt and Stephanie instantly noticed how striking he looked in his formal mess dress. Then his sparkling eyes. “You look radiant, Stephanie.” He stepped up to her and kissed her
