Reality Check
“The wedding preparation was in high gear and my bridal jitters were in full effect. Mona and Charmaine, the true friends that they were, made fun of me every chance they got. They looked forward to the wedding and reception at Catalina. Money was going to be in the air that day, and landing an available, financially stable suitor was a possibility for both of them.
I mailed invitations to my people back in Virginia, but I doubted they would show up, especially with the short notice. I didn’t ke...ep up with them once my grandmother passed away. When my mom died, a few cousins came down for the funeral, but that was it. Word has it that my mom was swept up in my dad’s success and charisma and turned her back on most of the family, only to learn that he wasn’t the good man he claimed to be. By that time, I was born and she’d burned her bridges with her people back home. That left just me and her.
I never really knew my dad’s people and had no idea if he was even alive. Lionel’s dad volunteered to walk me down the aisle, and I’d agreed to take him up on his offer.MoreLess
