They walked for a while longer, and by the time they passed by the O’Flaherty house they had discussed every little detail about the wedding. When Moira told Ryan all of the elements of Maeve’s costume, Ryan had an idea and dashed into the house to fetch something, calling out, “Be back soon,” when Jamie stuck her head out of the bathroom, fresh from her shower.

After changing into a dry T-shirt, Ryan escorted Moira back to Maeve’s house. Her aunt was a nervous wreck, just as Moira had described. “Oh, Ryan! If I had any idea this little wedding would take this much out of me, I swear I’d just live in sin.”

“Over my dead body,” Ryan decreed, laughing softly at her aunt’s obvious distress. “My poor father would never recover from the mere suggestion. No, Aunt Maeve, you’re in too deep now. Just try to relax, and in a few hours it will all be over.”

“That’s what they told me when I gave birth to Kevin,” she scoffed. “Thirty hours later I was begging for a pistol.”

“This will definitely be over in a few hours,” Ryan assured her. “Besides, you’ve done this before. Wasn’t it scarier the first time around?”

Maeve shared a look with her sister. “Oh, the innocence of youth,” she smiled. “No dear, it was not scarier the first time. When you’re young, you don’t have enough sense to know how hard it is to be married. You just assume that everything will turn out fine.”

“Well, call me innocent, but I know that everything will turn out just fine. I’ve been living with your groom for twenty-four years now, and I can assure you that he’s one of the easiest people in the world to get along with. He’s neat, clean, doesn’t drink to excess, clearly doesn’t chase other women, and he can cook. How many men have that many good traits?”

Maeve gave her niece a hug and said, “You’re right, of course. I’m just being silly. I think I’ll feel better when I can start doing something. It’s too early to get dressed.”

“How about a nice long bubble bath?” Ryan suggested. “Put on some good music, light some candles, and relax in the tub. Jamie has convinced me of the relaxing properties of a good soak, and if I can do it, so can you.”

“Ooh, that does sound nice, but I don’t have many candles.”

“You will when my father moves in. We’ve got enough to provide light for the whole neighborhood during a power outage. I’ll have Jamie bring some over.”

“Oh, don’t go to so much bother,” Maeve insisted.

“No bother. I think we women should stick together today, anyway. I think I’ll have Jamie bring over our clothes, and we can get dressed here. Can you feed us?”

“Of course. I’ll start breakfast, love. That will give me something to do.”

“All part of my plan,” Ryan muttered to herself as she went to call her partner.
