Evelyn, Part 4

Chapter 38: Evelyn, Part 4

Though I constantly looked over my shoulder, oddly enough, uneventful days passed until finally, the day of the wedding arrived. I spent the entire morning and some of the afternoon getting everything ready. Alice spent the two hours before she had to walk down the aisle dressing, which consumed most of mine and Marian's time helping her. Marian did most of her makeup while Alice did the final touches. When her cheeks had that desired red hue to create just what she wanted, Marian left the room, slightly frustrated after her part in that long process was done. I made up her hair, elegantly pinned up to show off her soft, swan-like features. I placed her modest veil on her head after helping her into her dress, and then I stepped back and took a deep breath to admire what a beautiful woman stood before me.
