Chapter 21

The music sounded and the doors of the church was opened. Bridget (bweing the natural bron leader and also it was in the program) took the first step. She had the closest person to her walk her up the isle- Dianna. Bridget was so nervous but she felt Tibby step out behind her so Bridget kept going. The music played as Lena and Carmen, smiling, began following the girls with their bouquets of roses. Bridget looked towards the altar and she could see Eric smiling at her. She felt the weight of her hair piled on her head as she took another step closer. She saw Eric again and remembered the first time she had seen him smile. Baja. That was such a long time ago. How could she have forgotten about him so long ago?

Tibby looked at Bridget the veil on her head. This was the only time she ever remembered wearing a dress but this one felt right. She smiled at the thought of baby Chantelle behind her and she pressed on. Brian was at the altar and he was smiling at Tibby like she was the most amazing thing. Her heart poubnded with each step she took and she felt her nerves rising. Bridget in front of her started climbing the last steps to the altar. Only two steps away now. She was there.

Lena thought her friends looked beautiful. Tibby smiling nervously at her soon-to-be husband and Bridget beaming at Eric. The sunlight caught Bee's hair throught the stained glass windows and Lena smiled' things were going to be ok.

She and Carmen took there dutiful place beside their friends and the ceremony began.

"I know pronounce you husband and wife."

Tibby would never forget those words. She was now Mrs Tabitha McBrian. She couldn't believe it. She stood arm in arm with her husband and Bridget was doing exactly the same with Eric. This was it. She was married. Til death do us part she thought.

Carmen loved the reception. It was beatiful. The courtyard was decortaed with beautiful pink roses and gold and white silk hangings. Wow. The world was calm again she thought. It would all be ok. Win ambled over and said "Hey Georgeous. You looked great there."

"No," she said "Tibby and Bee looked great,"

"That they did." Win agreed. The couple held hands and moved over to the table where all the food was set out. This was a time for Tibbs and Bee to be with their new husbands later was the time for them to talk.

A few months later and everyone was back in the swing of normal life. They went to work, came home, nursed the kids, ate dinner, went to bed. On the weekends the friends would occasionaly catch up but most of the time they were to busy. And so that was how the Sisterhood began to drift apart. Their lives were a jumble of creches, kindergartens, elementary schools and kids. They had their own families now and that was all that mattered to them. Gradually after a time of five years the girls lost contact. They all lived in the smaw town but if they were lucky about once a year they would see each other in the supermarket or maybe st the local pool.

But one thing still remained. The Pants. They lay, lonely at the top of Bridget Richmans closet. The Pants hadn't finisghed weaving their magic yet. They still had unfinished business. Where they would be found or who's lives they would changes is something that only the Pants could know. Who knows when the Pants will be seen again?
