Violet

Seven Years Ago

Nerves rolled through her being. Body and soul. Heart and mind.

She inhaled an anxious breath as she straightened out her dress. She was at the base of the rolling hill, hidden from everyone else. Her bridesmaids marched a path ahead of her as the strains of the violin drifted through the cool evening breeze. The heat of the day waned as the sun began to sink toward the horizon, making a descent toward the tops of the lush copse of trees that surrounded the area.

Her daddy stepped up to her side, his face spilling over with the amount of love that shone. “Oh, mi amor, you are a sight to behold,” he told her, his smile so soft and filled with abundant warmth.

“Thank you, Daddy.”

“I am nothing but the speaker of the truth.” He touched his chest. Sincere.

She fiddled with her dress that was made of white embroidered leaves and flowers. A plunging neckline and fitted waist, giving way to a full skirt that was covered in the same delicate pattern.

A modern take on a traditional.

A dress her mama and sister and Emily had basically demanded was the one when she’d been concerned it was too much even when her heart was screaming yes.

She’d thought to go for practical when in reality none of this was practical at all.

Marrying a man she’d known for all of six months.

A man who’d shown her what that old adage of being swept off your feet really meant.

Head over heels, only she’d been tumbling heart over feet since the second they’d met.

A man who was destined to be great.

To be famous.

A superstar.

A man who’d spent half their relationship on the road.

And she was getting ready to walk down the aisle to meet him.

No.

She wasn’t scared.

She was itching to run down it to get there faster.

Her daddy lifted her chin. “Are you sure you’re ready for this? I can’t believe my baby girl is taking the hand of a man.”

Soft affection played through her spirit. “Yes, Daddy. I’m ready. I’ve never been so ready for anything in my life. The question is, are you?”

He chuckled a gentle sound. “Never,” he teased, then sobered, “but I am happy. So happy to see the way my daughter glows. The love shines in your eyes.”

Violet nodded at him, and the music shifted, and Violet knew it was her time.

That her life was getting ready to change forever.

Her daddy extended his elbow, and she looped her arm through his, and he began to lead her up the path covered in a dozen different petals of flowers.

Each from their farm.

A token of wishes in each.

They came to the hilltop where the massive tree came into view. Branches stretched out wide with the sun just dipping down enough to touch the top. Lanterns hung from the lowest limbs, and long pieces of chiffon were draped from them as well, billowing down to touch the earth.

A few rows of chairs sat in front of that awe-inspiring tree.

Her bridesmaids and the groomsmen stood there to welcome them.
