all of us standing.”
    “Would you guys like an arch? Because I can make that for you,” offered Curtis.
    “Really?” I asked.
    “I was thinking we could decorate it in woven tulle and add some flowers to it that match the ones in the garden,” Loran added.
    “I like the sound of that,” Bentley chimed in.
    I closed my eyes and pictured what everything would look like with Grams’ flowers all around us as we stood under the arch. “I think it will be perfect, Curtis, thank you.”
    “Speaking of flowers, have you given any thought to the bouquets you want?” wondered Carleigh.
    “I’m thinking of just getting some flowers from Costco and making them myself.”
    “Let’s get those made. My parents want to help in some way, and I think that’s a good contribution for them,” Bentley suggested.
    I had to agree; Charlotte has mentioned it more than once. I smiled at him. “I’ll see when Charlotte is free to go to the flower shop then.”
    “Where are you getting your chairs and tables from?” asked Travis.
    “I was thinking of asking the senior center if we could rent their round tables and chairs for the day,” I said.
    “Are you dressing them with anything?” asked Whitney.
    “I’m not sure, I haven’t really given it much thought.”
    “I think you should rent some linens from the same place Loran and I did. They were easy to work with, and the final price wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.”
    “I’m thinking we really only need to rent five round tables and three long ones with thirty chairs,” said Bentley.
    “I think we should cover them with white linens, and accent the chairs with grey ribbon, and the round tables with bright warm colors like orange, teal, purple, pink, and green, but leave the food tables with just the white table cloths. Maggie said we don’t need to rent any dishes, silverware or wine glasses. She has new ones at the diner we can use.”
    “Haley, this is the most excitement we’ve seen from you since you two got engaged,” Whitney laughed.
    “I know, I think all of a sudden it just hit me—I’m getting married!”
    Everyone laughed.
    “Mama funny?” Emerson asked walking into the living room.
    “Sorry, bud, did we wake you with our laughing?” Travis asked as he picked him up.
    “Story?”
    “Sure, Uncle Travis would love to read you a bedtime story. Let’s get tucked back into bed. Say goodnight to everyone, Emerson.”
    “Bye.”
    I got up and kissed his chubby cheeks, “I love you.”
    Emerson wiggled in Travis’s arms to give me a hug.
    I watched as Travis and Emerson went down the hallway, probably talking about tractors and cows.
    “I think Travis really missed him,” Bentley said behind me.
    “You guys have no idea,” Whitney replied.
    Curtis and Loran stood, “Since most everything has been taken care of I think Loran and I are going to head home.”
    Curtis and Bentley did their man hug before he walked them to the door.
    “After Haley emails about the rentals we need, and she hears back from them, we can come back and finish the rest of the tiny details.” Carleigh said, grabbing Jerad’s hand as she stood. “I’m getting tired, I think we’re off to bed; see you guys in the morning.”
    “You still want to go four-by-fouring in the morning?” Bentley asked Jerad.
    “Yeah!” he answered enthusiastically.
    “We’ll head out after breakfast then.”
    “Sounds good to me. We can cook, and the girls can clean up when we leave.”
    Bentley went outside to clean off the back patio while Whitney and I tidied the living room.

 
     
    MY HAIR AND makeup are done, and I just finished getting into my dress. Standing in my grandparent’s room, I looked out the window, watching everything happen below.
    Grams has out done herself planting spring blooming flowers; she even transplanted a few potted flowers to make sure there was a bit more green foliage. Travis did an excellent job cleaning the brick tiles leading to
