Chapter 18 Church Wedding

• I wait outside the church. I am facing the vast, wooden double doors, which are closed as I wait for my entourage. All the bridesmaids and sponsors are already inside. I am wearing the wedding dress that Liam bought for me, which is white with silver trimming at the edges and flowers snaking all around the dress. They have styled my hair to match it. I am wearing white high heels even if it’s not visible under my dress.
• Thankfully, no butterflies and no jitters. However, my mouth dries up as I wonder about the events that will follow this. The ceremony is easy; the reception will be awkward; but the honeymoon phase is the worst. My bridesmaids had been joking about it, especially my co-teachers. They say I got the big fish after my awful experience with Mark. I snort. If only they knew.
• “You look nervous.”
