Short Story Collection

Ridley glanced over at her sister. Usually Raina was the one dragging her feet and constantly late but her sister had been completely professional the entire morning. She’d even volunteered to drive them over to the Alexanders’ house. It was an unexpected but welcome surprise. After all, it wasn’t every day that a girl got married.

Ridley had made the decision to skip a big, fancy wedding and just get married after seeing how happy her sister was with her husband. Raina and Nick had gone to Vegas to get married and hadn’t been able to keep their hands off each other since they returned. Something about it had struck Ridley as incredibly romantic. Not the part with the preacher dressed as Elvis but the part where you didn’t care about anything but being bound to the man you loved. She was all for that.

As if she could sense her thoughts, Raina looked over and grinned. “You know, there’s something really special about just jumping in and doing it this way.”

“There is?”

“Yeah. Since you planned everything in such a short time frame, you kept all the stress contained.”

For months, Ridley had stressed about having the perfect flowers, the right venue and who to invite. Now she was wearing a dress from a discount store, the flowers would be whatever was in season and she wasn’t even entirely sure who had been invited. The best part? She didn’t really care!

“I’m getting married today!”

Raina laughed at her sudden squeal of excitement.
