Chapter 7

Sienna’s heart was full. The room buzzed with anticipation. Escorted by their husbands, Lauren, Harper, and Rachel were first down the aisle. Zoe and Stone’s sister, Trinity and cousin, Avery were the other bridesmaids. They were escorted by Connor, and two cousins from Charleston, John Bennett and Victor Bennett, the actor. Sienna held the esteemed role of maid of honor and Stone’s brother, Cole, was the best man.

Although his cousin, Jackson, was one of Stone’s best friends, he was sick of being in weddings. He’d opted to stay in a church pew. Jackson was the acting mayor of Forest Hills. Sienna was surprised to see he’d brought his assistant, Meisha Merriweather, as his date. What was up with that?

Lauren and Ethan’s children were the flower girl and ring bearer. Kia was adorable in a magenta chiffon dress. It matched the color of the dresses the bridesmaids were wearing. With a tiara on her head and gold slippers on her feet, she carried the puffy crinoline gown like a queen. The adult women wore floor-length, one shoulder dresses with ruching across the chest and a chiffon cape over the skirt from the waist to the hem. Sienna’s dress had a halter top. That was the only difference between hers and the others.

Stone was the epitome of class and sophistication in a navy, single-breasted, three-piece custom tux made from a luxurious, jacquard, brocade fabric that matched little Ethan’s. He looked anxious. Impatient, in fact. But the organ music changed, the guests stood, and the back doors of the sanctuary opened to reveal Addison and his expression shifted to one of deep, pure, adoring love. Sienna saw joy dance in his eyes and then behind the excitement, there was the wet sheen from tears. Addison was so blessed. She had found true love with Stone Bennett. Who would ever have predicted he could be anyone’s happily-ever-after man?

Admiration shone in eyes and sincere smiles played on the lips of every person Sienna could see for rows and rows. She raised a handkerchief to her own eyes and dotted the corners. Addison made her ascent slowly, carefully, skillfully until their Uncle Derrick helped her reach the front of the sanctuary. They didn’t have much family. Uncle Derrick had flown in from Florida with his wife and adult children—Leela and Chelsea Ingram.

Opting not to wear a veil that covered her face, Addison’s stunning beauty was magnified by her expertly airbrushed makeup and the bliss that simmered below the surface. A crown with a long veil was secured to the back of her head. Addison’s dress was the whitest satin she’d ever seen, and Sienna had seen a great many couture dresses. It was sleeveless with a chiffon overlay from the waist down. The fitted cut clung to her curves like she’d been born in it. On the right side just below her heart was a small piece of brocade fabric that matched the pattern in Stone’s. She looked like a princess. Sienna had never seen such a beautiful bride.
