Everything Roses

Lucy woke in the big bed by herself and knew what day it was before she had her eyes open. It was her wedding day. She smiled stretched and got up going to the kitchen to put the kettle on. She hoped Andy wasn’t in too bad a shape, poor Jeff, it was all up to him now.

She brought her cup back to the bedroom and opened her closet fingering her wedding dress that Toni bought her. It was lovely, her eyes got big, “I hope it still fits.” It had been hanging in her closet for months waiting on Andy. Millie was coming by to help her dress and she would ride to the church with her and Steve. Her bouquet of pink roses was in the fridge waiting.

She padded downstairs in her pajamas to have another look at her wedding cake. It had turned out perfect, two tiered covered in pink roses and trailing green vines. She smiled thinking about Amanda, she’d been a help with the tinting of the frosting and she learned to make roses. Lucy hoped Amanda and Johnny might get married soon, they were such a cute couple and obviously loved each other to death.

Even the sun was out, she noticed as she went back up the stairs, everything was perfect. March would be overseeing the buffet later that afternoon in the restaurant. She thought about calling Andy just to make sure he made it through the night, no she wouldn’t, she’d see him at the church. Everything was going to be perfect, she smiled and danced around her lounge room.
