Grandma Mary seemed to be feeling better every day, but Margo and Joanne were still worried, because she looked so frail. Joanne came up for the weekend; she brought Margo’s dress and her heels, she also brought the cake topper Margo had ordered. There were only two more weeks left till the wedding, and magnolia lane looked absolutely beautiful.

Daniel and Tony had been up every weekend, and. worked in the yard. They planted flowers around the gazebo and down the walk that went from the gazebo to the front porch. Then they ran an electric line, so that there could be lights inside the gazebo, since it would be an evening ceremony. They wrapped white twinkle lights and silk magnolias around the gazebo and the large pillars on the front porch. The girls put up lights and silk magnolias around the band stand that Daniel and Tony had built. And also around the large pillars, that encircled the dance floor in the ball room.

Now here it was Saturday, the day before the wedding Margo was polishing the large piano that sat in the corner of the room; it almost looked brand new, although it was really 75 years old. Grandma Mary had gotten it when she was seven years old. On top of it stood three gorgeous 8 by 10 picture frames with wedding photos taken on the front porch of magnolia lane. One of her great grandparents, One of her grandparents, and one of her parents. Margo could hardly wait to have one of Daniel and her done, so she could put it with the others, And carry on the family tradition. She thought to herself, maybe one day when Daniel and I have children, they may want to carry on the family tradition and get married at magnolia lane, then their picture would stand on the piano too. Well, she thought, there is plenty of time to think of that latter. As for now she had her own wedding to think about .She had waited almost 2 and ½ years ,now tomorrow her dreams would  come true. tomorrow  she would be Mrs. Daniel lee Rodgers.
