Graycynn's point of view
me and kestrel bolted out of the front door and got into the car, I climbed in fast and kestrel barely got in and I started the engine and started to reverse, her door still open.
"Whoa, slow down" she said looking at me and reaching out for the door, she closed it quickly and I tore out of the driveway. The trees were pretty in the early light of the morning, the sun was barley over the hills. Kestrel laid her head on her arms and looked out the window.
"I can't believe you're getting married" she said still looking out at the cars as we sped down the road about 20m\h over the speed limit.
"me either" I said smiling kind of staring off in space my hand came off the wheel and kestrel spun around to look at me.
"Both hands on the wheel!" she sputtered.
"Yeah yeah yeah" I said placing my hand back on the wheel but as soon as she laid her head back down on her arm.
I took my hand off the wheel again. Her head didn't move. Cows were out in the pastures chewing on the dewy grass. And the farmers were out with their horses brushing them, the horses tails were swishing back and forth happily. I smiled contently and put my eyes back on the road. It would have been a lovely morning if there wasn't so much noise from the angry drivers flying past. I rolled my eyes and continued down the busy road till I saw the little white church in the middle of a field I pulled in as the dirt from the road kicked up behind us. The road was bumpy and the stones hit the sides of the car as we went along the unpaved road. Kestrel smiled when she saw the church, I was grinning I was glad she liked it.
"The church is gorgeous" she said smiling at me I watched her eyes trace the church. There was the minister waiting at the front of the building. I pulled up and parked the car, rolling up the windows and stepping out into the sun.
"Hello, Graycynn" he said smiling.
"Hello, father Thomas" I said returning with a happy grin.
"Ah and you brought a friend" he said welcoming kestrel as she stepped out. She just smiled and stood beside me.
"Yeah, her name is Kestrel" I said looking at her. Kestrel got uncomfortable in front of people and started to sway on her toes, before returning the hello.
"Hello" she squeaked out and returned to silence.
"The Planners are already here waiting" he said swaying his hand toward the door, ushering us inside.
He walked in to the little church a long isle and little pews ran through it. There was a stain-glassed window up at the alter and a beautiful organ. The scent of old wood and flowers overpowered the little building. I smiled and looked around. All the flowers were scattered among the pews in colour co-ordination ready to be hung at a moment.
"I love the church" kestrel said from behind me. I smiled again and nodded.
The door to the church opened as a squat women came through obviously in a rush.
"Mrs. Mar" I said the little women spun on her heels.
"Good morning Graycynn" she said smiling jittering on her feet waiting for something.
"Can I help you with anything" I said looking at her oddly.
"O no thank you I'm just looking for father Thomas" she said exhaling briefly and standing up pin straight again.
"O I believe he's in his office" I said smiling she nodded, thanked me and swiftly turned running to the wooden door around the corner.
"Who is she?" kestrel asked questioningly.
"Wedding decorator" I said brightly and sat on a pew it let out a little groan. Kestrel joined me.
Soon we heard light quick feet on the floorboards, and within a few minutes Mrs. Mar peeled around the corner grinning like she had just won the Mrs. America pageant.
"Graycynn, would you like to help me set up" she said warmly.
"Sure" I said standing and walking down the purplish colored rug towards her.
"You're friend can help too if she'd like" Mrs. Mar said quickly and quietly. Kestrel stood and followed me.
It took half the day to get the church set up properly and then the other half to finish the hall we had rented it was close by the church. By the end of the day Kestrel and I were exhausted and I barely could keep my eyes open to make it home. Ayden was waiting in the drive way as I peeled in. I smiled and he carried me in as kestrel dragged her feet slowly behind us. I can remember falling asleep half way up to the bedroom. Wedding tribulations haunted my dreams.
