I was awaken by the brightness of the morning, I groaned and rolled over seeing my wedding dress on the chair. I got up from my bed walking towards the door seeing a piece of paper.
See you at the alter.
Michael
Of course, how'd I forget Michael was superstitious, avoiding me the morning of the wedding. I descended the stairs to get breakfast. I got myself a bowl of hot porridge. Polly came down into the room with her nightgown on, " it's nice to get the boys out of the house every so often" I laughed. "I made extra porridge in the bowl". "You're an angel, Rose" Polly mumbled, Polly helped herself to a bowl.I heard footsteps approach the kitchen I looked up to see Ada, Grace, and Esme. Ada ran to me pulling my arm, "come on Rose it's nine o'clock". She pulled me away from my bowl of porridge and up the stairs giggling like teenagers. Grace did my make-up, she did a natural look overall except for the bold dark eyeshadow which made my Irish, smiling blue eyes pop out even more. Ada and Esme were taking care of my hair, gently pulling the slides out of my hair for a finger wave look. Polly didn't have enough room to work around me unless she sat on Grace's shoulders. But she entertained us with different stories, jokes and riddles. She even told some stories of Michael and Annie(Anna).
We were all ready to leave the room at 11:30, the other three left the room, Polly stopped me. "I have something for you, she gently pulled me towards the chair and seated me in front of the mirror. She took out a beautiful veil from her bag, "I want you to have this, it's my veil from my wedding, goodness it feels a lifetime ago" she said getting lost in her memories. "I can't take it Pol" I muttered turning my head around to face her "yes you can and you will" she said while turning my head towards the mirror and placing the veil in my hair. She put a comforting hand on my shoulder I reached up to touch her hand giving her a grateful smile. "Thanks Pol, for everything"I stated "I'm glad Michael is marrying you and not some random bitch". We both burst into laughter. "Rose! Polly! We have to go" Ada shouted.
We got into the car, I had never been in a car before. "This is a funny question, but do you know where we are going?" I whispered to Polly knowing Michael and I had both bad experiences with priests. "I'm not sure" Polly replied. We parked just outside a large, grand wall standing beside it was my two brothers and Lucy. "What are you doing here?" I chuckled "Lucy was sick but she ok now,right Luc?" She nodded, i signalled Lucy to come over "yeah I knew that, I meant you two", "erm" they kept passing looks until Ada said "spit it out!" "Dad isn't here, he was drinking pretty heavily last night" I rolled my eyes at myself for not seeing that coming. "Can one of you please walk me down the isle, I'm not choosing which one of you it is, that's cruel" I said. Oísin pulled out a coin "it's only fair" he stated. "Heads or tails?" Miguel l said confidently "heads". It landed on tails. "Looks like I'm walking you down the isle" Oísin remarked proud of himself. Miguel walked down to stand beside the other grooms.
Lucy, Esme and Grace walked down the isle followed by Ada and Polly. Then Oísin and I. The isle felt like a mile long but I finally reached to Michael.
