"A Bridesmaid Account of Betsy's Wedding"
You could see it in her eyes. Today was the day she'd been waiting for! The day she gets her ceremony.
It was my job to be sure everything went the way she wanted it to. Hopefully the previous months of dress, shoe and flower shopping would all come together in a picture that would be the one she saw in her dreams.
Betsy showed up in the "Roy" bridesmaids room carrying what looked to be a trunk of things! Who knew she needed so much stuff
Rollers flying, make-up brushes emerged and the transformation begins!
Since Betsy was on the way to getting ready, I ran back to my room to try to make myself presentable. I blow-dried, flat ironed and hair sprayed myself. Then I preceeded to stuff myself into my Spanx and hoped that I'd look alright. Put on my shoes, grabbed my bouquet and back I ran to Betsy.
She was a beautiful sight. Her beaded dress shone and her Gramma's crystal necklace hung on her neck. All the while we're waiting.....she is pacing. Is it time...why aren't they here for me yet she kept asking. Finally, the doorbell rang and we were off.
We arrived at the "doorway to her future husband". We lined up and the music began to play. I was the first through the door, as I was to stand beside Rick. Then came Cheri to stand by Betsy....then entered Kate. Betsy stood at the doorway with the biggest and brightest smile. She walked her way towards Rick. With all eyes on her, she and Rick exchanged vows. I had expected Betsy to cry, but it ended up being Rick with the tear in his eye.
And with an "I Do" it was complete.
There were cheers, bubbles and cameras everywhere....hence all Betsy's posted pictures!
