Libby and Karen’s outfits matched mine and Holly and Katie wore the most adorable
dresses in a matching navy blue Connor was in a suit Black Armani with a powder
blue shirt and a tie. He would be walking my friend down the aisle Shane wore
the same as Connor well almost but in her usual way looked way cooler than any
of us could ever dream

Peggy arrived not long after timing it well and disappeared into Andy’s space to help
her finish getting ready she had brought with her inspector Diego who insisted
on being called Lena and a wheel chair bound Helena.

Awkward was the first feeling but we didn’t have time to worry as Libby and Connor
whisked her of to Check on her and then took her into the garden to get a good
spot. She seemed subdued and vacant and I actually felt bad and made a note to
talk to her at some point today. Then there were the guests, not too many but
the garden was filling, Charlie had flown in from New York with the agents that
had remained there from Andy’s firm as well as two of the three who had moved
to LA, Vito being the noticeable absence. Kit had a date and there were a few
of the artists who had a particular connection to Andy and a few people I did
not know giving us a pretty full house.

That just left the Bride. I was deep into the beginnings of panic as I knew we were
down to 15 minutes until Rachel arrived when I heard Peggy call for our
attention thankfully breaking the tense silence we had all fallen into
anticipating having to inform everyone of a delay.

Peggy was in a red gown that matched the colour of Rachel’s mums outfit as was
befitting the mothers of the bride, and she looked glowing as she announced
Andy’s arrival to join us in the kitchen. She was in a gown of the darkest navy
which was cut in a daring but tasteful plunge at the front with a high back and
the same daring slit to the thigh that mine had, hers was stunning silk though
and embroidered with red and cream roses and her hair was free  and lose not hindered by any embellishment.

She looked stunning and tall and beautiful and happy and everything that a
bride should. I felt my heart swell with happiness for her, before sending her
on her way with Connor to await her signal from us.
