Chapter 22: The Wedding

“Oh, Aeris, you look absolutely beautiful,” Maggie said. Her eyes shone, preluding the start of tears.

Aeris stared at her reflection in the mirror. A thin wedding veil on her head resembled slender white hair cascading down the back of her head and neck. The dress she wore was the same ivory as her belly scales, ending just before reaching her flank with a short train covering her rear. I do look beautiful, she thought. With her celeste scales, she looked like a piece of the sky given form.

Maggie dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. Her dress long and a lovely pale blue. Maggie was embarrassed because it hugged her slightly wide hips and showed off her curves, but Aeris thought Maggie had a nice figure.
