September 13, 2012…
It was finally the big day. The day Miranda Foster would become Miranda Lee. She was excited and nervous and overjoyed all at once. She couldn't wait for the wedding to start. Even though it was somewhat emotional since obviously William Foster would not be walking her down the aisle. Miranda's mother, Sue, had that job.
"You ready baby girl?" asked Sue lowering Miranda's veil with tears in her eyes
"As ready as I'll ever be Mom," said Miranda on the verge of crying herself. And Miranda almost never cried. The Wedding March began to play as Miranda linked arms with Sue and processed down the aisle. Colleen and Dylan were both sitting with David's parents while Andy, Ryan, Luc and David all stood on one side; Rena, Lisa, and Pam stood on the other side.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" asked the minister.
"I do sir," said Sue as David linked arms with Miranda. After the prayers and vows it was time for the exchange of rings and the 'I dos." Andy and Rena handed the rings to the minister.
"Miranda, do you take this man to be your husband for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," said Miranda as she slid the ring onto David's finger.
"David, do you take this woman to be your wife for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," smiled David and slid the ring onto Miranda's finger. He swore he saw tears running down her cheeks.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your bride!" announced the minister. David grinned from ear to ear as he lifted Miranda's veil and they kissed long and hard. Cheers and applause filled the church as David's parents smiled as well, Colleen and Dylan peaked up from the noise, and where Sue Foster and Sophia were sitting near each other Miranda noticed.
"A little ironic but okay," Miranda thought, "What Mom doesn't know won't hurt her."
"May I present Mr. David Alexander and Mrs. Miranda Alexis Lee!"
