Her heels clattered on the pavement as she walked across the sidewalk toward her fiancé, who stood near City Hall’s big double doors. She stopped for a moment to take him in. His hair was newly trimmed in a style that emphasized his high cheekbones and firm jaw. The remarkable body she knew and loved so thoroughly was clad in a custom-tailored navy pinstripe three-piece by Ferré.
He was gorgeous, and he was hers. Just as she belonged to him, completely and forever.
Others waited with James. His father, nephew and brothers-in-law, who also wore navy suits. Kevin, James’s nephew, looked embarrassed, but proud to be included. All the males had pinned tiny orchids to their lapels. James’s mother, sisters, and LaDonna all wore mauve with white orchid corsages.
After Liza greeted James with a kiss, he handed her a bouquet of white and mauve orchids. Embracing her with one arm around her shoulders, he whispered into her ear. “Ready?”
She looked around her family, unable to stop a huge smile from wreathing her face. “Yeah, baby.”
