They were holding onto each other and giggling like children. She smiled, her heart full of love for the two special young women. She tried to hide her amusement by saying, “It’s about time, you two. Jack was getting worried that maybe he was going to be left at the altar!” Guilt flooded Izzy, and she started to explain. Before she could say a word, Nancy laughed and hugged the older woman. “Nonsense, Aunt Beth; that might work, except we just saw him and the other guys arguing over who gets to run the grill. He didn’t seem the least bit concerned about being left anywhere.” Elizabeth laughed and then hurried the girls upstairs to the room that was still considered her niece’s. “Okay, I guess you’re safe. But I do suggest you hurry up and dress. There are a lot of people wondering where the other guest of honor has been. Tom and I were just about to call the cavalry. You two speed it up, while I go tell everyone you are safe.”
