She was ready.
She stood calm, collected and beautiful as her mother helped her into her wedding gown. Her girlfriends smiled, laughed and dotted their eyes, clearing away droplets of happiness. Photos were taken. Jewelry was adorned. Lip gloss reapplied. She wasn’t nervous. She was happy. Her eyes danced with unshed tears at the thought of seeing her groom for the first time. Slowly she made her way up the stairs and down the hall…out the door where he was waiting for her.
He was ready.
