In the first chapter when Mac walks in on Allison standing in front of her dress in that moment of is this real, am I really closing on part of my life and starting a new chapter? That is a very good question and though it creates new ideas and wonders and makes you ask so many questions. As I read that I could not help but realize that many brides go through that moment when they are alone with their dress and left to their own thoughts and reflections.
That is the moment when your life changes your go from being a single person, coming and going as you please. Making decisions, solo decisions on which paths to take in life because it is your life you as the individual. Then the day comes that is to be the best day of your life your wedding day the day you go from single to a couple where every decision you make you make as a team because it no longer just effects you it effects you both. You do things as a team together. There is no more how will this change my life it’s how will it change us or effect us as a whole?
I always thought of that moment as the last change you have to change your mind or it’s the first reminder of how much you love the other person and why you want to spend the rest of your life with them. It reinforces that feeling and knowledge that you cannot see yourself spending the rest of your life without that person. That is one of the most magical moments of the wedding day and the fact that Nora Roberts ever so slightly through it in to the first chapter impressed me. The fact that it is such a big moment and she realized it and knew to add that to the story.
