Two people in back, standing in the shadows and unseen by anyone in the audience to that point, turned to go before the recessional began. Each noticing the other for the first time, they gave a respectful nod to their counterpart without saying a word.

The man, rather distinguished with a bit of gray in his hair and coming from the bride's side, extended an elbow to the pretty, auburn-haired woman coming from the groom's. She hooked her hand through the crook in his elbow and both turned to look back at the happy couple as the recessional music started to play. With a smile at each other, they exited the church doors into the light as Paula and Bruce took the first steps of their new life together.

The End

What a terrific and emotional story. I have to remember not to read these beautifully painted stories during allergy season because my eyes were watering.

Five stars.

Awesome story. There is some confusion with Paula/Angela names that tooke awhile to figure out but your story was worth the effort, Thanks!

I liked how you wove all the threads together. A lot. Very nicely done.

Chapter 1 was really good I thought. Then I read chapter 2. One if the best I’ve read in quite some time. Thank you.

Other than a big editing mistake on page 1 confusing Angela and Paula, the rest was golden. You do a great job of putting human emotions into words. 5*
