“photographer, talking with Jenn Fairhurst, the cake designer. The massive form of the security chief, Travis Houston, eclipsed the more rangy build of Nate Waterson, the IT expert. Margaret Ashworth and Kate Bryson, Married in Malibu’s stylist and garden designer, were having a quiet conversation in the corner. The team—her team—all looked up as Liz, Rose, and RJ walked inside. “Hello, everyone. It’s good to finally see you all together. I’d like to introduce you to Rose and RJ Knight, the owners of Married in Malibu. As this is the first time we have all been in a room together, and given that Rose and RJ”

“Plants were flowing up out of old sneakers, high heels, men’s dress shoes, even a few tall boots. They were bedding plants, mostly, but a few larger specimens poked up out of open-backed shoes that let their roots spread more. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Anne said. It should have looked like just random littering. It should have looked too odd to be beautiful. It should have been pure chaos. Yet, Gareth had to admit that the flowers made the shoe garden a riot of colors, while the shoes in between blended with those colors. It was strange but also very beautiful indeed. He found himself smiling as he looked around the place. At the thought that someone could have done this. “Who put all this together?” “People just come along and plant shoes.”

“apologize, he turned back to Meg to find tears glistening in her eyes. Her gloved hands had formed fists and she was shaking. Wanting to shield her from further pain, he reached for her. But she stepped back before his hands could cover hers. “You don’t have to do this alone,” Lucas said in a low voice. He didn’t care how many people were watching them, or that the cameras, and camera phones, might still be rolling, for all he knew. He needed Meg to know how he felt about her—that he loved her, heart and soul. But before he could, she said, “Mother, we should speak in private so that I can better explain the situation,” and headed toward the exit. Before she left the room, however, Meg took the ring off her finger and set it on the edge”

“She led the way around another bend in the path to a spot where there were trays of bedding plants along with soil. Gareth could guess what she intended. “Oh no. No way.” “Everyone should do it at least once.” She took off her own shoes without hesitating. They were beautiful heels that matched the dress she was wearing. Gareth guessed that she’d either customized them herself or made the dress to fit the shoes. “You’re really going to plant a flower in those shoes?” “Of course. Come on, try it. You won’t regret it.” He thought he might, given how much the shoes he was wearing had cost, yet Gareth found himself bending down to untie them and pick out a plant. Anne planted hers beside his. “There,” she said. “Doesn’t that feel good?” It did. Better than he’d have thought. And as they padded out of the park together, Anne in her bare feet and Gareth in his black dress socks, in that moment he felt like he could tell her anything.”

“Rose?” Anne said as the others went off to try to fix the various issues that had just cropped up. “What’s wrong?” She managed a half-hearted smile. “Only you could be in the middle of a situation where practically every detail of my wedding has just collapsed and still manage to ask what the problem is.” “True,” Anne said. “But that’s because I’m the only one who knows you well enough to guess that this has nothing to do with any of those things, does it?”

“Oh, that reminds me,” Vanessa added, like it was nothing. “A great many of the guests on my side have to be gluten-free. I’m sure you’ve already made arrangements for that, but I thought perhaps I should mention it just in case you’re not prepared. You might as well make sure the entire menu and cake is gluten-free, just in case.” Rose didn’t dare look at her own reflection in the window just in case she saw steam flying out of her ears. She couldn’t believe Vanessa hadn’t mentioned her guest’s gluten allergies long before now. Julie and Andrew were going to kill Donovan’s mother...that is if Rose didn’t do it first. Of course, Vanessa didn’t seem to notice that anything was amiss as she announced, “Well, dear, let me know if you need help with anything. I’m sure I can make some calls. But now, I must leave for a coffee meeting with the board of the San Francisco Philharmonic.” Two air kisses later, one to both of Rose’s cheeks, and she was wafting away on a cloud of Chanel No. 5.”

“As parents, as people, we try to do our best. We try to be perfect for the people we love, because we know better than anyone just how much they deserve that perfection. Yet we aren’t perfect. We make mistakes, and then we make more mistakes trying to protect the people we love from them. None of that changes how much we love the people we care about.”
