The bridesmaid hung her dress in the hotel room doorway at Peacock Pavilions. She didn't want to put it on until she had done the bride's hair.
She brushed and pinned and brushed and pinned. And the bride's hair looked perfectly like this...
The bride slipped her dress on. And then there was the surprise bouquet of blooms and succulents that had come from across the ocean.
Sigh, so lovely.
On the allée of olive trees in front of Peacock Pavilions, the bride and her bridesmaid were beautiful both coming....
and going.....
The best man had passed out.
But he awoke in time to take pictures of the groom who was in the lavender garden pretending he was not nervous...
It was time then. And the bride ran past the olive trees. She ran to get married.
She was barefoot.
But she had the ring.
And she had her groom.
They said those important things. And then they laughed.
It was at Peacock Pavilions....
that day, that special day, when they kissed.
A love story.
