OK,here it goes!!
PROLOGUE
"Oh,Angela! You look beautiful!"
Angela Montgomery-soon to be Riley-stared at her reflection in the tall mirror and had to agree with her friend Chelsea. She did look rather lovely.She smiled at her friend in the mirror.Today was Angela's wedding day.She was finally going to be Angela Riley!
"Luke's gonna pass out when he sees you!" Chelsea said in delight,and smiled back at her.
Angela laughed at her friends words.
" It is lovely isn't it?"
" It is. Ooh, Angela . .you look magnificent!"
" You don't look bad yourself." Angela pointed to her maid-of-honor's light blue, silk dress.
" Thanks, I thought it looked alright."
Chelsea was happy for her friend Angela. Her best friends, Luke and Angela,were going to be married! Angela was pratically glowing. Her dress did look beautiful.Her silk gown had cost a pretty penny but the money had definatly been worth it.
" Do you think will think I look,OK?" Angela asked her, as she turned away from the mirror.
" I'm sure he;ll think you look stunning! Besides. I don't think Luke would care if you wore a potatoe sack! The guy's hopelessly in love with you." Chelsea said,grinning. Angela laughed kind of nervously.
" And I am hopelessly in love with him . ."
" Ok,OK-don't get all lovey dovey on me!" Chelsea pretended to be disgusted. Angela laughed again.
" Well, this is finally it"- Angela said-sobering-" I'm going to be married. Married Chels! Can you beleive it?" Angela took her friend's hands and started to dance around. Chelsea laughed and went along with her. A knock sounded on the door. Chelsea gave Angela's hand an encouraging squeeze before letting go and went to answer the door. Angela's father stood outside the door.
" Oh! Is it time?" Chelsea asked him.
He smiled at her then at his daughter.
" Yep . . . its time."
Angela took a deep breath and then stepped out of the " bride's dressing room"- which was really the 3rd grade Sunday school class- and looped her arm through her fathers as they made their way to the auditorium.
Chelsea stepped in front of them with the rest of the bride's maids.Angela was trying to remember to breath out and breath in and breath out and breath in.
Angela's father looked down at her and grinned.
" Don't hyperventilate on me now,honey." He patted the hand that was on his arm.
Angela smiled back and started to even her breathing to normal again. Chelsea looked back at her and gave a thumbs-up before the auditorium doors opened and all the bride's maids and her stepped out.
Angela watched as they slowly walked down the ile.
Chelsea prayed she wouldn't fall. She had the tendency to be clutzy at all the wrong times. She looked ahead and saw Luke in a tuxedo and whote shirt. He was wringing his hands together nervously. She almost laughed.ALMOST. She looked at his best man-Scott Peterson- who wasn't looking bad himself-she thought. Scott looked at all the bride's maids and then his eyes finally settled on her.
Chelsea smiled politely. He winked at her! Chelsea's eyed widened. The nerve! She was almost so stunned that she almost tripped. But caught herself before she sniffed and looked straight ahead. She finally made it to her place by the altar beside the others. She glanced his way again then quickly looked away . .the nerve!
The music started and Angela slowly glided down the ile with her father. Her eyes only on the one she loved.Chelsea sighed. Her best friend wa getting married.Moving to live with her husband and leaving her all alone to become an old spinster. Oh,well- she thought-Angela deserves somone like Luke to take care of her and lover her;she should be happy for her. And she was ,too.
Angela finally reached Luke and smiled into his eyes as he took her hand. Chelsea smiled as the service began.
~~~~~~~~
Two hours later Chelsea watched as people showered rice on Luke and Angela Riley as they headed off to the limo, that waited to take them off 2 their honeymoon. When they finally reached where she was standing Angela stopped and hugged her. Chelsea's eyes filled up with tears. She was really going to miss her friend.
Angela pulled back and sniffed.
" Congratulations! I'm really happy for you."
Chelsea palmed away her tears and smiled at her friends. Luke put his arm around his wife's waist as he gave Chelsea's hand a squeeze.
" Thank you, for making me finally come come to my senses Chelsea and helping me with my feelings for Angel." ( Luke always calls Angela - Angela)
" Hey, what r friends for,right?" She smiled and squeezed his hand back.
" Well, you better skeedaddle!The limo's waiting!"
" OK"- Angela said as she gave Chelsea one finl hug - " I'll see you later."
" Have a good time!" Chelsea called out as she waved at their retreating figures. They got into the limo and drove away.
She dropped her hand and smiled sadly. If only she could one day be as happy as her friend right now.Ifonly she was the one getting married . . .if only she were the one who had someone to love . . .
OK! That's the end of the prologue! ^_^ I'll post more later!
