The day of the double wedding finally had arrived. Everyone in the McQueen household was rushing to get ready in time. The queue to the only toilet in the house was increasing by each passing minute as all members of the household fought to get inside. Each member rushing to perfect themselves. A horn could be heard outside and suddenly everything went to a halt. The cars that were taking them to the church had arrived. The members all gathered in the living room and listened to a pep talk from the head of the household. Then one by one, each stood up, looked in the mirror for one last time, took a deep breath and headed out to the cars. Leaving the two brides and their mother behind. Linking arms the brides put their differences aside, today was their day and it was going to be perfect. After allowing their mother to take a quick photograph the two girls headed outside. Leaving their mother to follow behind. Locking the door she turned to watch her children as they prepared for this special day. Looking at her own mother as she talked to the brides telling them how pretty they both looked. After being sure no one could see, she took the key, and placed it under the plant pot then went to join her family.
Before long the family arrived at the church. One by one they got out of the cars and all gathered outside in front of it. Smiles spread across each members face. The oldest family member stood back and asked for a photograph of all them together. All her grandchildren on such a special day. Following suit, the mother then asked to take more photographs. Trying to delay the wedding from starting for just a tiny bit longer. Eventually the rest grew aware of the time passing by. "Shall we get this wedding under way or what?" The oldest daughter called out. Then a voice replied. "Not without me". The mother turned round and smiled. She was here.
