Eleanor had been suffering from a horrible case of nerves most of the day, but now that it was nearly time for the big moment, she was surprisingly calm. The lobby had looked beautiful when she'd come in a few hours earlier, and she had been assured that everything was ready to go. Of course, if Mum didn't stop fussing with her dress that could change at any moment ( ... )

After talking with Ernie and placing the present on the table, Mandy tucked her arm in Zach's and wandered off to find Elle, as per the directions provided.

They located the women's locker room, just as a middle-aged woman was vacating it, looking a little sniffly and pink-eyed, which led Mandy to suspect she might just be the mother of the bride. She smiled at her as they passed each other, and then walked up to the door and looked up at Zach as she knocked.

"Elle? It's Mandy. And Zach," she called softly, standing back a step and waiting for a response.

There was a knock at the door soon after Mum left. Eleanor grinned when she heard Mandy's voice and jumped up to let them in, making sure she was properly hidden behind the door when it opened.

"Come in," she said excitedly. "I'm so glad you're here, my mother's just run out to get a camera, and I feel like I'm about to bounce right out of my dress."

She gave them both a good look over and a hug once they were inside. "You both look wonderful. Have you seen Ernie? How's he doing? Rose said she was going to check on him, but she's not come back yet."

"Oh, wow," Mandy said weakly, her jaw dropping when they got into the room and Eleanor closed the door and came into view. "You look ... oh. So beautiful." Embarrassingly, she found herself choking up already, and swallowed with determination. "That dress is perfect for you." It really was. It was both elegant and pretty, very feminine without overdone frills. Much like Eleanor.

"Um, Ernie?" She nodded, and tried to force herself not to gawk; she had a notion that she came off like a four-year-old girl spotting a fairy-tale princess, and that Zach was likely quite amused at her. "We talked to him. He seemed to be doing very well, actually, didn't you think so, Zach? I was amazed at how it is actually possible to look calm and collected and delirious with happiness at once," she said with a giggle.

"How are you doing? You don't look the least bit nervous either. Just, well, about to bounce out of your dress probably covers it," she grinned. She didn't think she'd ever seen Eleanor this excited. Which was just as it should be, really.

Hannah was amazed at how good Hammerside looked. It was going to be a lovely night for the wedding. She left her gift (a family photo album and a blender) on the table. Then she and George found their place cards at one of the tables. She left him there with a kiss on the cheek and went to find Eleanor. She shot Ernie a smile on the way, but wasn't sure he saw her.

Mandy was already there, which made Hannah feel a bit behind on her bridesmaid duties. Eleanor didn't look like she needed help, though, she was already stunning. "Wow, Elle, you're going to knock Ernie off his feet," she said, giving the bride a gentle hug. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Thank you," Eleanor said, flushing with pleasure at Mandy's reaction to the dress. "It took ages to find the right one. The girl at the shop kept trying to stick me into all these horribly flouncy things, but I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it." She smoothed her hands down the bodice and sighed happily. She couldn't wait for Ernie to see her in it.

"Oh good, I'm glad to hear that. And no, I'm not nervous at all, I got that out of my system earlier. Now I'm just terribly excited, and a bit impatient. I can't wait!" She glanced at the clock for what seemed like the millionth time. "Well, a lot impatient.

Just then Hannah came in. "Hannah!" she said, returning her hug. "I hope so. You look beautifu. No, I don't believe so. Just keep me company, the maid of honor seems to have disappeared."

"Thank you, but you definitely outshine all of us. And of course I'll keep you company." She smiled at the radiant bride.
