She finished work and hurried around to get ready for the wedding. She curled her hair, put on makeup and changed into a nice outfit. She was out the door in less than 40 minutes; she didn't want to be late. She drove to New Paris and picked up someone who knows her well. Someone who she has spent a lot of time with and someone who she doesn't get to see very often. The air was buzzing with excitement and conversation as they headed off to the cabin by the pond. They arrived to the ceremony and immediately sought out shade from the blazing sun. They said hello to the groom, were handed a program and eventually found a seat facing the white archway. They spoke with anticipation: What will the bride be wearing? Where are our other friends? Why is it so hot outside? Finally, the music started playing and before they knew it; the wedding had ended. After a nice meal and some delicious cake, they decided it was time to say goodbye to the bride and groom and go. Since entertainment options were somewhat limited, they decided on a bottle of sangria and a movie. They talked. They laughed. They reminisced. The bottle of wine finished just as the film finished and they decided it was time to head their separate ways. While driving her friend back home, the night's sky was lit up by fireworks. It was a perfect end to a perfect afternoon and evening, but rest assured it was not a date; only a lovely time with a dear friend.
with heather, stephanie and chad
