Chapter Twenty-Nine

Rimmel

I was in a fairy tale.

A literal fairy tale come to life.

I knew what Valerie had planned for tonight. I knew the color scheme, and I knew the location. But I hadn’t known it would be this gorgeous.

The grand ballroom of the hotel was a huge open space with high ceilings that had to be at least twenty feet tall. They rose up in the center like a steeple, and running horizontally across the wide space were large wooden beams that added a rustic touch to an otherwise austere place.

In between the beams, lights hung down from the ceiling, clear glass that looked like water drops with a single bulb in the center. They sparkled and glowed around the room, and while the room itself was far too bright for the pendants to look like stars, the effect was no less dramatic.

Everything was decorated in a white and matte gold scheme. Not the kind of gold that looked brassy and plucked right out of the eighties, but a modern gold finish that seemed to play perfectly with the white.

There were round tables draped with white linens and large over-the-top centerpieces of white daisies and gold-painted baby’s breath bursting out of planters that stood tall, finished with an aged white texture. Where Valerie found so many perfect white daisies in the middle of winter I would never know.

Because the planters stood on what looked like thick podiums, the space on the table beneath them was filled with clear glass votive holders and lit white candles.

The dishes on the tables were white, edged in gold, and the linens were the exact same shade of gold on everything else.

Champagne flowed freely throughout the room, going around on trays and also being poured at the two bars on opposite sides of the room.

Canapés were being served and later, there would be a sit-down meal. There wasn’t a DJ. Oh no. There was a live band, and they seemed to seamlessly play a mixture of current popular songs and songs that would never go out of style.

Who the hell needed a wedding when you had an engagement party like this?

“Do you think Romeo knows all these people?” Ivy leaned in and asked.

I laughed. “Definitely not. I’d be surprised if his mother knew them all.”

“Did you know someone from People is here?”

I shook my head. “No, but I’m not surprised. They’re trying to get exclusive pictures from the wedding.”

As if on cue, a stylish woman wearing what I knew had to be a designer dress approached us. “Rimmel Hudson?” she asked, and I thought, It’s Rimmel Anderson now. “I’m Rachel Wintor, the head editor at People.”

“Wonderful to meet you. Thank you so much for being here tonight,” I said politely and offered her my hand.

She took it and then looked between Ivy and me, then back at me. “I have to say you look more beautiful tonight than I’ve ever seen you look. Would it be okay if I asked who you are wearing and
