Ten minutes later, Parker helped hook the back of the gown. “Nobody say a word.”
She smiled as she said it, but the order was firm.“No comments until Emily turns around and sees for herself. Le's get her thoughts and impressions first this time.”
“It feels good. I love the skirt.” She smiled nervously at Parker. “The lace and the tulle and the silk and the pattern of the flowers and beads. But I thought bigger, if you know what I mean.”
“Let's see what you think when you see the full effect.There. The back's gorgeous, by the way. Now deep breath, and turn around to the mirrors.”
“Okay, here we go.”
Emily turned, and Parker thought: bull's-eye.
She recognized the stunned, misty-eyed delight, the awareness, and the change of body language as Emily straightened, lifted her head.
Happy Ever After

In the mirror Parker saw on her face what she'd seen on so many other brides. The thrill, the wonder, the glow.
“This was my mother's wedding gown,” she murmured. “And now it's mine.”
“Parks.” Mac repositioned, pressed the shutter again.
“You look spectacular.”
“Happy's what you look.”
Mrs. Grady beamed at her. “Happy and in love. Nothing fits a bride more truly.”
“I'm a bride. I'm happy and in love, and I look spectacular.”
Happy Ever After
