Chapter 15: Going to the Chapel.
Jo McGuire stood in front of her daughter, admiring how gorgeous she looked. "Lizzie! I cannot believe how beautiful you look! I'm going to start crying!"
"Not again Mom!" Lizzie pleaded. "You've already had to have two makeup touch-ups, and the ceremony hasn't even started yet!"
"I can't help it!" Jo started sobbing. "My little girl is all grown up! And she's getting married! And having babies of her own!"
"Even I'm having a little trouble believing that last one." Lizzie agreed. "And the fact that you aren't incredibly mad about it!"
"Mad? Lizzie, what in the world would make you think I'd be mad?" Jo asked.
"Well, because technically, we weren't married at the time, and I know you don't exactly approve of living together before marriage." Lizzie remarked.
"Sweetie, you are 26 years old. A much as I want to keep you my little Lizzie forever, I can't. The truth is, you are an adult now, and you are more than capable to make your own decisions." Jo replied. "Now, although ideally this baby would have been created after the wedding, everyone, your father and I included, could not be any happier for you and Gordo! You two are both responsible, stable, and loving people, and you are going to make incredible parents! You have our support 100 percent. I can't wait to meet my little grandchild, and I am incredibly proud of both you and Gordo!"
Lizzie broke into a smile, and for the first time in a while looked genuinely happy. "Thanks Mom." She replied. "You have no idea what that means to me."
Lizzie gave her mother a hug, and turned to look at herself in the mirror. She did look beautiful. Her dress was strapless, and fitted in the middle. The bodice was dotted with sparkly beads that diminished as it flared into a full princess skirt, and a long train fell behind it. Her hair was pulled into an elegant French twist, and her delicate lace veil fell mid-back and was attached to a sparkling tiara. Her makeup was soft and flawless. Around her neck she wore a diamond necklace that matched her earrings. Her bouquet completed the ensemble: white roses complimented by lilies.
After a few last minute adjustments, Jo went to get Melina and the rest of the bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Miranda made her way into the hotel room.
"Hey." She called, as she entered.
"Hey!' Lizzie replied. "I was wondering when you would be done."
Miranda looked stunning in her bridesmaid's dress. Lizzie had selected dusty rose colored strapless dresses that were accented by off white. The flowers were light pink roses and babies breath. Miranda's hair was in an updo that involved lots of curls.
"Lizzie, you look amazing!" Miranda gasped. "I can't believe the big day is finally here!"
"I know." Lizzie agreed. "It seems like yesterday we were in middle school, drooling over Ethan Craft."
"I know." Miranda remarked, sitting on the edge of the bed. "And now you're getting married!
Lizzie laughed. "I know."
Miranda nodded her head. "Lizzie, I am so happy for you guys. I want you to know that."
"I do." Lizzie replied. "And Miranda, in case I don't say it enough, thank you."
"For what?" asked Miranda.
"For everything." Lizzie replied. "I couldn't have asked for a better friend. I love you, and that will never change. I promise, we will always be best friends."
"The three musketeers!" Miranda smiled.
Lizzie laughed, and rubbed her stomach.
"Oops!" Miranda laughed. "I mean four!"
Both girls began to laugh as though they were in middle school again. Lizzie looked over at her best friend, and a flood of memories came flashing through her head. Miranda standing up to Kate for her, she and Miranda spying on Gordo's date with Brooke Baker, countless sleepovers, high school graduation.Miranda had been there for every significant moment in her life.
Lizzie went over to Miranda and gave her a big hug. "Best friends."
"Forever." Miranda replied.
