"Lizzie! Get into your other gown! The reception is starting in half an hour." Miranda shouted, banging on the bathroom door.
It was two hours after the church ceremony and Lizzie was getting ready for the reception and wedding dinner.
"Okay, okay. No need to shout!" Lizzie grumbled as she removed her wedding gown and slipped on her new strapless ruby red satin evening gown. She walked out of the toilet and complained. "Miranda, I can't zip this up! Help me!"
Miranda rolled her eyes and zipped the dress up. She loosened all her hair braids and combed it straight. This time, she looped it up in five places, secured by bobby pins and released some of her hair, to create a casual yet elegant look. Miranda touched it up by spraying hair spray to keep it stiff.
"There, now your makeup. Kate, you take her eyes and I'll take her cheeks and mouth." Miranda glanced at Kate, who was all the while admiring Lizzie, who was a married woman now. Kate nodded curtly and set to work.
Gordo paced around, thinking about marital problems and whether he and Lizzie would divorce. He pushed his negative thoughts away and plopped down on a lounge chair.
The door creaked open silently and out came Lizzie. She saw Gordo sitting on a lounge chair with his head in his hands and smiled.
"Had a good nap, Mr Gordon?" Lizzie asked as she planted a kiss on his forehead.
Gordo's eyes immediately snapped open and smiled at his wife lovingly.
"Yes, but the waking up part was much nicer." He joked.
"Come on, let's go. You handsome charmer." Lizzie giggled as she took Gordo's hand in hers and walked down the corridor.
