I stand in front of the mirror, an emotional mess. This is all like a fairytale.
The something borrowed Naomi gave me is the veil she used when she got married. It was her late mother’s and looks expensive. The tradition here is based on traditional normal family structures. I should be wearing my mother’s veil, except mine was never married and I don’t even know her. Naomi has no idea how much this means to me.
The something blue is the most beautiful earrings I have ever seen. A gift from Nana.
“No crying on your wedding,” Nana says, but my stupid tears still come.
“I am so sorry. No one has ever cared so much about me until I met Vince. You two are just…” I choke on my tears while she gently pats my back.
“There, there, Sweetheart. We are family now.”
I nod and gulp on
