Aaron stood, and the pastor indicated he should stand beside him and look toward the door through which Evie would enter. Mrs. Copperfield nodded at Bethie, who began humming the Wedding March. They had their signals, too.

The pastor's wife stepped inside where Evie was. "Now, walk very slowly down the pathway they made for you. Very slowly. Take a small step, then stop. Then take a small step, and stop again. Do that all the way to the fireplace. The reverend will indicate where you should stand. My advice is to keep your eyes fixed on Aaron's as you walk. You'll see in his eyes everything you need to see." She kissed her cheek. "Now go."

Evie took a deep breath and stepped out into the room. All the men, because they hadn't seen her transformation, caught their breath at the sight of her. The women all exchanged conspiratorial smiles, knowing this would happen. Aaron was spellbound, intoxicated. He looked into her eyes and saw the hope and affection there, and his own smile widened. If he'd had any lingering doubts, they were gone.

He watched her walk down the aisle they'd made and felt profoundly proud to be marrying this woman. As much as it would have been nice to have his brother beside him, he realized he wouldn't change a thing. Even the circumstances that had brought them to this point had worked out for the best.

She was amazed that these ladies—she already thought of them as friends—could make this lovely ceremony happen and make her ready for it, in so short a time. It was almost as though magic, mighty forces were swinging her way. She was grateful.

When she came to the fireplace, the pastor placed the couple in front of him, facing each other. "Now, Miss Evie, and I suppose this is the last time anyone will call you Miss," he winked at the crowd and they chuckled, "I need to know your full name, please."

"Evelina Simpson Goodacre."

Aaron and the sheriff recognized the last name and exchanged a brief look acknowledging that recognition. When Evie turned back to her groom, he was already gazing down at her again.

The vows went smoothly, and Evie learned that Aaron's middle name was Joseph. When the pastor told Aaron he could kiss the bride, everyone giggled when he had to lean down so far to kiss her that he finally just picked her up and brought her to his level. When he put her down, the reverend whispered to them to face the group. "I'm delighted to present to you Deputy and Mrs. Aaron Joseph Glover." The women clapped, and the men cheered and hooted. Bethie howled a little bit, too. "Please congratulate them, and may we all join in fellowship as we celebrate with them and enjoy the largesse of our very generous host and hostess." More cheers followed that
