Margo and Daniel's wedding

was

 

Joanne found her mother in the kitchen, she was putting icing on the cake. she watched from the doorway of the kitchen, and thought to herself, Margo is right, she does look pale and fragile. I just hope she can hold on till this wedding is over, it will kill Margo if she doesn't. she wiped a tear from her eye ,and said hi mom would you like some help? oh hi honey ,said grandma, I didn't hear you come in, sure I can use some help I still have a lot to do. well I would be happy to do what ever you need me to do mom, said Joanne. But first lets sit down a minute and have a glass of tea. And catch up on things, we really haven't had much time to talk. Ok said Mary if you are sure we have time .We do ,so you just sit down and I'll get the tea, said Joanne. so they sat there and talked for a while, then they finished the cake. 

A few minutes later Margo and Misty and Marilyn, came into the kitchen. oh how beautiful .Grandma ,you did such a wonderful job with the cake, said Margo. well thank you sweetie ,but I had some help she said, as she put her hand on Joanne's shoulder. Thanks mom, but I didn't do that much well thank you both said Margo, it's just like I wanted it to. And she hugged them both. Misty said, ok girl, we have an hour and a half lets go get your hair done and get you dressed. so they headed to Margo's room. Margo called back over her shoulder as they were leaving and said, mom call the guys and tell them they need to get ready. ok I will sweetie ,don't worry, you just get ready . I'll be there in a little while to help you. ok said Margo and off they went.

Misty was putting the finishing touch on Margo's hair, when Joanne  and Marilyn came into the room. Oh Misty that looks wonderful said Joanne.
yes said Marilyn ,you did a great job .Thanks said Misty. She had pulled Margo's long blonde hair up in a bun, and then in the middle of the bun, she pulled out some of the hair and did long spiral curls. Ok said Joanne it's time for your dress. The dress was beautiful ,it had a lace collar with netting, and a scalloped v neck. short sleeves and several layers with bows here and there. Margo slipped it on carefully so she would not mess her hair up. then Joanne helped her with the veil ,it was a white sequined band. The veil came down under her curls, and then a piece went over her face. That's it said Joanne. Margo turned around to look in the mirror. 
tears filled her eyes, she heard a noise and turn to see grandma Mary, Marilyn Joanne and misty, staring at her. Grandma walked over to her and said, child you are the most beautiful thing, I have ever seen. next to your mother that is. it's just like seeing her the day she married Bob. I am so proud of you, and so happy too, and I'm thankful for all the life you have brought back to this old place. I have a wedding present for you and Daniel.  Margo said, grandma you have done enough for us. not really said Mary, and she reached her hand into her apron, and pulled out a envelope  and handed it to Margo. Open it, she said, Margo sat down and opened the envelope, it was the deed to magnolia lane. it was in Margo and Daniels name. tears poured from her eyes. Grandma are you sure you want to do
this? yes I am Margo, your mother knows , we talked about it. honey you are the only other person in this world except for Sam ,that feels the way I do about magnolia lane. I want you and Daniel to be as happy here as Sam and I were. I want you to fill this place with children and people. make a bed and breakfast out of it like I wanted to do. Margo looked at her mom and said are you sure this is ok with you. yes I am baby, I know how much magnolia lane means to you. Margo stood up and hugged Mary and Joanne. and said thank you both. And grandma I will make magnolia lane the very best bed and breakfast in all of Georgia . Great said grandma, now lets not keep that handsome groom of yours waiting. Ok said Margo ,mom call Daniels cell phone and tell him we are ready. And get dad to come walk me down the aisle. lets get this wedding underway.
