Chapter Six

Maggie

So many things had fallen into place. I had found the dress of my dreams, and it would be ready for a June wedding despite all the odds. Marty had found that perfect location for his New Orleans store, and his mom and he were in the process of opening that shop so it could supply the flowers for our wedding. Zoe and Aiden had come through with an incredible, wonderful surprise - they had offered their house for the wedding and soon after for us to live in permanently when they moved to Los Angeles together.

Now, we had only five days until that big day, and a few things still hadn’t been resolved....and I could feel nervousness creeping into my heart. My mom had called my brothers and my dad, and my brothers were both able to fly in for the wedding, but we still hadn’t heard from my father. And I had convinced myself to wait two more days before I let myself ask the question. What do I do if Daddy can’t come? At the moment, I was just doing my best not to think about it at all.

Besides that, there was still so much to do to get ready for our big day. Unfortunately, today those preparations had taken Marty and me to different parts of New Orleans. He would spend the day with his mother, helping her decorate Aiden’s house and yard and overseeing the remodel at the shop. And me…

Well, I also had a mother-daughter date today. My mom had agreed to drive down from Lafayette again to help me with two more important decisions: catering and wedding cakes.

When I had asked about it, Momma had stayed silent on the phone for a moment. “Are you sure, Honey? Usually the bride and groom shop for the cake together, not the bride and the bride’s mother, no matter how much the mother loves her beautiful daughter.”

I had smiled at the endearment she worked in, trying to shove down a bout of nervousness. Zoe’s father knew a bakery that had been able to get a small wedding cake for a friend of his done within a week. I was hoping the place would be able to do the same for me, with a couple fewer days, but nothing was guaranteed.

“We’ve talked about it a lot, and we know that…” I waited until my mother must have been hanging on my next words. “We both understand that we have no idea what we want. All we have decided on is that we want some sort of floral pattern, and possibly a bride and groom under an arbor on the top, but…neither of us could really think of something perfect. Marty will be busy with his mom at the shop, and he trusts me to make a good choice.”

“Then I’d love to come cake shopping with you and help you make that perfect choice,” my mom promised. “See you then.”

So now, here we were one day later,
