This is for Mia's Drabble Challenge. This has probably been written before, but if so I've never read it! Any likeness is purely coincidental etc etc! Sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes, though. Also, I've been trying to find EBD's mentions of Joey's wedding but I don't think I found them all, so apologies if I've made any Kateisms.

Even her dearest could not describe Joey as pretty, her brother-in-law thought, but today she looked beautiful. Dressed in her simple dress – Joey had flatly refused to wear anything “flouncy”, as she put it – and veil of delicate white point d’Alençon she looked every inch the bride. But even if she had been wearing a dirty cotton frock, Jem knew, her new status would have been unmistakeable. The joyous look in the soft pansy-black eyes, the slight blush on the pale cheeks and the rapturous smile on her lips would have given her away every time.
“All ready, Joey?” he asked softly, offering his arm.
“Ready,” she said, with a happy sigh. “Oh Jem! Sometimes I thought this day would never come!”
With an eye to her flushed face – he knew his highly strung sister-in-law – Jem answered firmly, “Well now it has, Joey. Come along! We don’t want to be late.”
“What a bully you are, Jem – even on my wedding day!” Joey complained. Turning to her bridesmaids, she looked them over.
“You’ll do!” she said cheerfully. “Let’s go in.”
On Jem’s arm she ascended the steps of the church and walked down the aisle to where Jack was waiting.

God I've actually got misty eyes here! That was beautiful. If there was just one scene I wish EBD could have left in, it would be Joey's wedding - thanks for filling the gap.

Now don't you think you couldn't write a leeeetle more? I'm sure Mia wouldn't mind! Very Happy
