Itâs good to be home.
IF THE BRIDE changed her mind about something one more time, Adele was going to lose it. And she didnât often feel that way. Brides who got jitters or last-minute second thoughts about their ceremony were commonplace enough. But this bride...
She was sweet and lovely, but such a micromanager that Adele was ready to tell her to go to the spa for the next forty-eight hours and not come back until she was as buffed and polished as the ice sculptures due to be delivered just after the wedding but before the reception.
âAre you sure the calla lilies are the right flowers for the centerpieces?â Holly asked, worrying her lip with her French-tipped nail.
âYes,â Adele replied decisively. âTheyâre elegant and perfect for the arrangements you picked.â She inhaled calmly and put a reassuring hand on the brideâs arm. âTrust me on this. Your wedding is going to be perfect. Every detail is sorted, and in two days youâre going to stand here in the great hall and get married and itâs going to be magical.â
She looked around at the majestic hall of the famed Fiori Cascade Hotel and gave a little wistful sigh. It wasnât her first wedding here, but each time she put one together she did a little daydreaming of her own. Sometimes the great hall was the setting; other times it was a smaller, more intimate room. In the summer, weddings on the stone patio with the Rockies forming a dramatic backdrop stole her breath. They were fairy tales, every last one of them.
