Epilogue 1

Maggie

Snow falls, but the sun is out. The perfect day for a wedding.

After knowing one another for most of our lives, once Charlie and I decided to get married, we have no interest in prolonging what we are ready for.

So now, in the middle of November, a few weeks after I told Charlie that I’m carrying his child, I’m in the back room of a church, putting on my wedding dress.

“You look so beautiful,” Hazel says, as she ties the ribbons on the back of my organza gown.

I could have gone for something simple, something practical-- but I wanted the whole nine yards.

I always imagined walking down the aisle toward Charlie, and now I’m ready to exchange vows, promise to have and to hold from this day forward.

“You are just beautiful,” Greta agrees, looking at me in the full-length mirror, tears in her eyes.

“You can’t cry now,” Hazel says, handing out tissues. “You’ll ruin your make-up, Mags.” Lucy runs into the room, beaming. “Auntie Mags, the sleigh is here!”

Her face is precious, so full of joy, and I ask her how big the horses are.

“This big, Auntie!” She raises her hands high over her head. The sleigh will take us from the church and lead us to a reception, where two hundred of our closest friends will be waiting to celebrate

The sleighs arrival also means it is time for the wedding ceremony to begin.

“Do you think the guys are ready?” I ask, turning around the room, my gown swishing as I move.

“Yes,” Greta tells me. “I was just over there checking on Milo, and everyone looks so handsome.”

“And Charlie, did he look nervous?”

Hazel and Greta shake their heads. “No, sweetie,” Greta says. “He looks happier than I’ve ever seen him. Though, I think this spring he’ll be even happier than he is now.”

“It’s crazy to think we will have two babies in the family next year,” Hazel says.

“I know,” I say. “Everything is changing so fast.”

Greta rests her hands on my shoulders as we turn back in a full-length mirror. My gown has a full skirt and sparkles, with crystals encrusted on the bodice.

“Change is good,” she tells me “It’s a chance to usher more love into our lives.”

“Thanks for supporting Charlie and me,” I tell her and then I look over at Hazel thanking her as well. “I know it’s been a whirlwind…”

Greta shakes her head. “Maggie, you can’t choose when you meet the love of your life. And you met yours when you were eight years old. Do not apologize for finally having the thing you always dreamed of.”

The words from my sister, who carries herself with so much grace in the face of heartbreak, mean so much to me.

And I know she says we only have one love of our life, but I hope for her that’s not true. As much as I loved Luke, I dream that my sister will find another happily ever after. No one deserves it more.

“I think it’s time,” Hazel says. The organ begins to play and Greta reaches for the bouquets, handing them out.
