Broken
“Huge clouds of frosted white that billowed around her in the wind like fairytale snow. Against her waist she held a bouquet of milky roses that dripped with clusters of tiny white gypsophilia. And the limousine was white too, inside as well as out, so that when the door opened and she looked out at the guests milling around the church steps, she merged perfectly into the background but for her redlipped smile. An elaborate concoction of alabaster and lace.
Just before she entered the church, th...e photographer darted forward and took a shot when a gust of wind wrapped the white satin around her body like a sheath, picking up the veil and spreading it across the cloudy sky behind.
In the photograph, now living in an embossed gold frame, she has one hand up trying to harness the fly-away veil, and the other holding her bouquet down by her side so that the blooms brush against the cobblestoned portal. And she is still smiling, a broad, open-mouthed smile that shows all her teeth and beams a message of delight so uninhibited that, even trapped in time, it remains infectious.MoreLess
