The day of the wedding finally arrived. A day of happiness and joy and love. Everyone she knew would be there and Allison had been looking forward to seeing them. Allison had been so happy to be invited. She went out and purchased finery a little above her budget, but how often does your favorite cousin get married? She had been looking forward to the wedding for months. Her sweetheart, Gary, was going with her, meeting most of her family for the first time. She was so pleased. This relationship was working, it actually looked like there might be a wedding in her future too.
Then, about a month before the wedding, Gary left her. He said there was too much out there for him to settle down. He said that he felt someone else might meet his needs better. He said that she wasn't enough for him.
Allison was planning to not attend the wedding rather than go alone. But her cousin, the beautiful bride, insisted she come. So, Allison gave herself a lecture on the wonders of being single and agreed to be present.
Of course, the day of the wedding was perfect. How could it be otherwise? Allison woke up late that day, dreading the ceremony ahead. She spent the afternoon doing all the things people do on weekends, catching up on all the errands that wait all week. Finally, it was time to dress for the wedding. It almost hurt, laying out the finery she had purchased with Gary in mind. The lovely lingerie, the garter belt and sheer hosiery, the exquisite gown.
Allison took a long bath, soaking in vanilla bubbles and relaxing. She gave herself little talks about the upcoming night and the possibilities ahead. She ran her newly manicured nails over her nipples, feeling them tighten and get bumply. She wondered again what Gary had wanted, why she wasn't enough for him. She looked down at her breasts, with their rosy nipples, and found them acceptable. She was short, petite, nicely shaped. Her hair was dark brown and long, with a tendency to curl. Her eyes were her best feature, dark brown and fringed in thick lashes. She smiled a lot, giggled a lot. She was one of those people who were honored in high school for friendliness, spirit and pep.
As she did her inventory, her hands wandered over her body, dwelling on the warm area between her legs. She had thick, brown curlies and her fingers played with them, allowing them to wrap around the tips. She combed through her softness, her finger just lightly tracing the slit she found there. As she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of her fingers, she thought about how long a month was, how long she had been without her lover. Her fingers moved over her slit, felt it swelling and opening, felt herself getting ready for...something. She could almost pretend that Gary was here, that Gary was touching her, finding her clit, helping her reach that point. Her finger delved deeper, feeling the warmth and pinkness of her soft inner lips. One finger, moving up and down, slowly feeling and massaging all that wonderfully receptive pinkness.
It took her such a short time, she was so needy. She felt her body tightening and her legs locking in place, then she felt the explosion she was seeking. She lost all awareness of her surroundings, knowing only that she needed to come, to feel the warmth that followed. She stretched out in the tub, enjoying the afterglow, lightly continuing to stroke her clit and caress her soft mound.
As her breathing returned to normal, Allison finished bathing and stepped from the tub. She dried her relaxed body and sprayed her vanilla scent on her warm, still moist skin. Then she went to dress. She was really glad she had spent more than necessary on the wedding finery. It was truly lovely and elegant. She slipped into cream panties, all satin and lace. Next, the cream garter belt, which was a new experience for her. She finally figured out how to wear it and fastened the pale ivory stockings to the dangling clips. She added the satin slip, with the delicate lace inserts and looked at herself in the full-length mirror. Her nipples were not covered, the dress did not allow for a bra. Her nipples were still slightly puffy from earlier, a pretty rosy color against her pale skin. She released the clips holding her hair and felt it tumble onto her bare shoulders. She made tiny braids and brought them around to the back of her head, fastening it with a sparkly barette. She really didn't wear much makeup and didn't intend to tonight, either. Her cheeks were still flushed from her bath, so she just added a little blush and lip gloss, pleased with the results.
Finally, her dress. It was a periwinkle blue, gossamer and sparkly. It was fitted in the bodice, high in the front, skimming down to just below her waist in the back. The skirt was full, made for dancing, whirling around with a handsome man in a magical evening. At least, that is what she thought when she found the dress. Still, it made her smile. The fabric was so wonderful, the color extraordinary. She felt like a fairy creature in this dress, and could feel her soft hair brushing her back as she walked. She had also purchased dainty silver sandals, slightly higher than she usually wore, because Gary was so tall. She stopped herself from thinking about him. There would be many men there tonight, and most of them would be tall and handsome. The world was full of wondrous possibilities!
The wedding was so beautiful. The church was glowing with candles and soft lighting. The bride looked like a princess, meeting her prince. The vows they exchanged had been written by the couple and told their love story. It seemed as if everyone was touched, moved by the love so present before them. Allison was no different. She stood in the church, first watching the guests and then the lovely bride. She listened to the words of love and commitment that the newlyweds exchanged. She envied them. She wished them every happiness. She wished it were her.
After the ceremony, all the guest went to the elite Country Club for the reception. It was a gorgeous spring night, and the grounds looked like a fairy land. There were thousands of tiny white lights twinkling in the trees. It looked as if nature herself cooperated, flowers were in full bloom, perfuming the air with their delicate scents. The guests were all dressed so elegantly, a wedding always bringing out the best in people.
She stood smiling as the couple danced their first as man and wife. They were so obviously in love, so happy. Soon, others joined them on the dance floor and the party began. Allison moved to the table, finding her place card and settling down to watch the happy people again. As she felt tears gathering in her eyes, seeing the twinkling lights become even more magical, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see the most beautiful hazel eyes she had ever gazed into. They were in a smiling face of a very pleasant looking man, who was asking her to dance. He held out his hand to her and she placed hers in it. As she stood, she was glad she had worn heels, her escort was extremely tall. He introduced himself as William, a good friend of the groom. They made small talk as they danced to the love ballads being played. Allison found herself having a good time. William was sweet and intelligent and very charming. She giggled at much of what he said and he seemed to enjoy her company as well. His large, warm hand was on her back, on the bare skin that seemed to tingle from his touch. She felt sure that his hand print would forever be engraved on her skin.
