She exhaled slowly.
“But what you described… surrendering to God…” She shook her head slightly. “That’s not something I know how to do.”
Camille reached across and took her hand.
“It starts with humility,” she said gently. “And confession. Just coming honestly before Him.”
Rita swallowed, her composure slipping just a fraction. She nodded.
“I think… I need to do that.”
Camille squeezed her hand, her heart full—not with certainty of what would come next, but with hope.

The morning of the wedding dawned warm and bright.
Inside the church the air smelled faintly of lilies.
Aaron sat at the front of the church with Adam who was his best man. Both men were similarly attired in grey three piece suits yellow ties and yellow pocket hand kerchiefs.
Adam glanced at Aaron.
“You nervous?”
Aaron exhaled slowly.
“A little.”
Adam smirked.
“Don’t worry. If you forget the vows, I’ll prompt you.”
Aaron rolled his eyes.
“Very helpful.”

In the bridal room Camille stood before the mirror.
Her dress was elegant and timeless—ivory with long lace embroidered sleeves, tight embroidered bodice, sweetheart neck and satin ball gown skirt.

Madison stood beside her in a yellow flower girl dress.
Her bridesmaids, Vera, Anne, Alexandra and Kelly, were dressed in mermaid sheath dresses in yellow.
“You look like a princess,” Madison declared.
Camille smiled.
“Thank you. So do you.”
Carlo entered the room quietly.
For a moment he simply stared at Camille.
