Years later
• Christabel's point of view.....
I can't believe my eyes!! My little sister's makeup has been neatly done .
Her hair is now a bun decorated with flowers ,here and there.
She wearing a beautiful white gown with glitters in it. It's so long that I guess she can barely walk on her own.
She intentionally wanted a very long wedding gown . Her secret was to have me at her back always.
The door clicks open reveling our refusing to grow mother. She is always the same.
A smile breaks her face as she stares at her baby. A box in her hand " How do I look mum?"
" You look amazingly wonderful."We all crack with laughter
" Is that even a word." I question
" I wonder ." Christiana laughs .Christiana has changed over the years . I never thought that she change so much when she gets to university.
It was a great change. After college Christiana decided to go to medical school. So Desmond has to on her for seven good years. There was a time Desmond got really desperate.... Is funny remembering all that.
Mum puts emerald green earrings on Christiana's ears.Emerald green necklace around her neck. " It's my gift to you."
" Thanks mum.I ..love it." Christiana says wholeheartedly
" Am glad you do"
" You look beautiful Christabel. " My mum comments
All the braids maids were supposed to were violet. But my was designed different from theirs. It has a golden lace around the neck.Actually am not part of the braids maids. They said am ' Special request' Never heard of that. " Thanks mum."
" Is time !! " Mum announces and disappears
Christiana gets nervous.
" Don't be nervous. You spoil everything. I didn't do that on my wedding day?"
" True, you didn't. "
" Breath in and out. "
She breathes in and out .As I place the veil in hair and lastly over her face.
Haha now Desmond won't see her face .It covers her face totally ,making it difficult to identify if is Christiana or not.
" Ready? "
She sighs"Yeah?"
" Then let's do this. "
" Wait. "
" Why didn't mum want the wedding to be simple as I wanted .This is too much.All the maidens and - -"
" Calm down. You know how stubborn mum is.She wants you to be the happiest. " I wonder if that help kick the worry.
••••••
Getting out of the car and reaching the church door. Christiana's nervousness grows.
I know this feeling. I hold the end of the wedding gown gently and slowly.
The flower boy and girl in front. I mean my kids.They look lovely... All the braids maids behind us as we walk on the red carpet.
Everyone gets up .Music playing at the background .Welcoming the braid arrival .
We slowly walk till we reach the Poppet. Finally seeing Philip after a long week.I smile.
