‘Nervous,’ Suzie admits. I’d be nervous, too, if I was about to legally bind myself to another person for the rest of my life. Mind you, there’s always divorce if it doesn’t work out. ‘That’s a good sign,’ Maria says encouragingly. ‘I think nerves help you to feel more connected to the day.’ Is that what she reckons? Well, I’m nervous as hell. And I’m not sure I want to feel connected to this particular day. ‘You’re looking radiant,’ Rachel says gently, taking a photograph. I’m sitting in the corner, just watching and trying to keep out of the way. Rachel moves over to the wedding dress, which is hanging behind the door. ‘Can you adjust the curtains to soften the light?’ she asks me. I get up and close the net curtains a little, as Rachel moves in to photograph lots of tiny, delicate lace flowers across the bodice. I’m looking forward to seeing how Suzie looks with it on.
