this house… and most importantly, he gave me Blake.” I shook my head in disbelief, “I know that it probably sounds crazy, but I know that it’s true, he has guided every single step that I have taken, right up until today.” I looked above me as though my dad was there and he was listening to me, “Thank you Daddy.” I then looked to mum, “And thank you too, for being the best Mum and best friend that I could have ever wished for.”
    I reached up and wiped the tears from mum’s cheek while still trying to hold mine back, “Now now, we don’t want to spoil the makeup do we?” We both laughed as Uncle Anthony knocked the door before stepping inside.
    “Wow Jo, you look amazing,” Uncle Anthony exhaled a deep breath as he looked to mum and then back to me. “Why are you two crying? Isn’t this supposed to be a happy day?”
    Mum shook her head as she laughed once more. “Right, I take it that the cars are here?” She asked as she quickly re-entered her business wedding planner mode. Uncle Anthony told her that the cars were ready and waiting and we should get going as soon as possible as snow was yet again falling and we couldn’t afford to get stuck.
    “Shall we?” Uncle Anthony held out his arm for me which I took happily, he then led me out of the room and down the stairs to where everyone stood gathered at the front door waiting for me.
    “Oh my God,” I gasped as I reached them all.
    “What is it? Is it the babies?” Mum asked in a panic as everyone began to surround me.
    “No,” I smiled as I began taking a few deep cleansing breaths. “I have just realized that I am getting married, now!” Everyone relaxed and sighed with relief before laughing with me.
    “Yes dear, you are,” mum smiled. “Now let’s not keep that boy of yours waiting a second longer than we need to shall we?”

    She was late. It was more than ten minutes after six and Jo wasn’t standing where she should have been. I had so many scenarios running through my mind that I couldn’t focus on there being just one problem. My mother, Diana, Fraser and Jasmine had arrived almost half an hour ago, they had travelled together in one car and had left the house while Jo, Anthony, Casey and Jemma were all climbing into car number two.
    Diana was constantly leaning forward and giving my shoulder a reassuring squeeze before whispering to me that she would be here; I would then hear her turn to my mother and say; ‘ They really should have been here by now, what could be the hold up? .’ In the space of five minutes, I had told myself that she had changed her mind or gone into a very early labor and needed me to be with her.
    The other possibility was that they had all been involved in a car crash; each of those scenarios left me feeling physically ill and I was about ten seconds away from running out of the church and finding her myself. I had got Alex standing at the church doors looking for them whilst trying to call everyone possible to see where she was. Of course, the one day that you needed to contact someone via cell phone was always going to be the day that no one would have their phone switched on because of the wedding. I heard the church door slam shut and turned to see Alex walking with meaning towards me, his expression was un-readable.
    “Where is she?” I asked as I stood to greet him.
    “Dude,” Alex sighed before placing his hand to my shoulder.
    “What is it?”
    “She changed her mind Blake, she’s not coming.”
    “What?” I asked loudly causing everyone in the church to turn and look at me. Alex was amused by himself as he laughed and slapped me on the cheek before walking past me taking his place beside the altar. “She’s right outside dude; the car broke down on the way here.” Alex continued to laugh at himself as I struggled to breathe at the thought of Jo changing her mind. “Your face,” he laughed.
    “That was not funny,” I cursed. “If we weren’t in the Lord’s
