âThis place is amazing.â Iâm sitting in Nixâs dressing room, having my hair done while I look out across the Alice Garden where sheâll be saying her vows in an hourâs time. Itâs a beautiful day, and the sun is bouncing off the roofs of the Lodge and the Stables, turning the garden to a riot of color.
âIâm so glad we decided to get married here,â Nix says. âWhen I first suggested it, Leon thought it would be too much like hard work to get everything organized, but actually itâs been really easy.â
In the mirror, I watch Rona, the organizer in charge of dressing the bride and bridesmaids, fiddle with Nixâs dress. The gown is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Nix bought it from the Bay of Islands Brides shop and had it transported down here. Itâs handmade, and the satin dress has a sweetheart neckline and a low back, but is covered in lace so she has lace sleeves and a lace-covered back, as well as a long train. The lace is embroidered with thousands of tiny pearls. Itâs just gorgeous.
âDonât cry,â Nix says, meeting my eyes in the mirror, âor Iâll start, and Iâve just done my mascara.â
âAnd if you start crying, weâll all be at it,â Summer points out, and we all laugh.
Everyoneâs hereâIzzy, Remy, Summer, Jules, Poppy, and Abby with baby Ethan, whoâs dressed in an adorable tiny suit. Nixâs sister, Louise, and their mom are also here. I know Nixâs dad refused to come. How awful is that? He and his daughters had some kind of argument a few years back, and theyâve not been home since then. I canât imagine Nix doing anything so bad that it would force her father to disown her. But at least her mother came.
All the girls are bridesmaids, and weâre all going to be wearing the same style of dressâa mulberry-colored A-line tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline to echo Nixâs dress, sleeveless, with cap straps. Itâs really flattering considering weâre all shapes and sizes. The others are all ready, but as I was late, Iâm just having the finishing touches put to my hair before I slip into the dress.
I study my reflection, watching the hairdresser curling the strands sheâs left to frame my face. Sheâs rolled the rest into a neat chignon and slipped a few fresh flowers into the side. As she finishes and gives a final spritz of hairspray, the lady whoâs doing our makeup takes her place to finish making me up.
Nix blows out a long breath. âWhatâs the time?â
âA quarter past one,â Izzy says.
âHowâs it all going out there?â Jules asks, gesturing at the window from her seat in front of the mirror, where the hairdresser is now spraying her hair.
Izzy, whoâs sitting on a seat by the window, looks down. âA few people have turned up. Halâs there, talking to the celebrant. Wow, he looks so good in that suit.â
We all chuckle. âThose morning coats were a super idea,â Remy tells Nix.
