Tia didn't think anyone had heard what she said. . . she meant to say it
under her breath. But when she cast a look at Liz's face, she knew the
words had hit her. Hard. They didn't make eye contact, but at that very
minute, the tables had turned. There wasn't much time for serious
reflection on Tia's part, as the ceremony was fast approaching. But, she
knew two things were true . . .tonight she'd become Mrs. Trent Maynor - and
by the end of the evening, she'd make sure Elizabeth and Conner were where
they should be - together.
Elizabeth took in what Tia said - and a look of pain shot across her face; she turned away so no one would notice. She knew what Tia was hinting at - why did everyone think that she should go running back to Conner - why does it have to be Liz and Conner, Conner and Liz? She knew that the years hadn't dimmed the feelings she had for him, but no one else was supposed to know that - she had been so hurt when she lost him - she had tried to fill the void with other guys, but nothing seemed to work. And in just a few minutes, she'd be standing at the altar, with Conner McDermott nearby - wishing that the two of them were in Tia and Trent's place - lips burning to say "I Do", and knowing that there wasn't a thing she could do about it, but stand there and smile - and resist the urge to look in to those green eyes.
"Ladies, it's time to get going," the mistress of ceremonies said (who just happened to be Lila Fowler-Patman). She had just gotten the guys straight up front, and now it was time to get the show on the road. "Maria, go for it". Maria started slowly gliding up the aisle - she looked beautiful - you could see a few heads turn as she gracefully made her way to her station. No one looked more enamored than her husband. She gave him a knowing smile, and they knew they were thinking of their special day not so long ago. "Elizabeth, your turn." Liz stood up straight, held her head up high, and placed a huge smile on her face. Inside she was trembling, but on the outside, she looked poised and elegant. She felt like someone was staring at her, as the heat was bearing down on her - she caught a very appreciative look from him. Her heart started to beam and her smile caught up with it. "Wakefield.your turn". . .Lila gave Jessica a quick pat on the back, and Jessica walked up the aisle the way only Jessica could. You could be sure Jessica would be a person that could upstage even the bride. But today was Tia's day - so she downplayed it, a little. She gave a flirtatious smile to Jeremy, and took her position up front. "Do you think you're ready Tia?" Lila asked gently. "I was born ready" Tia said. The music suddenly changed, and Tia emerged. Guests gasped - but no one looked more in love than Trent - today was the day that all of their dreams would come true.
