As Time Goes By.
pg. 28
IN APRIL MIMI and Etienne were
married. Juan Ledesma, the Consul
General, walked Mimi down the aisle. Elsa, his wife, was her maid of honor.
They had offered their house for the reception. After the champagne and cake,
Elsa and her maid-nanny took Mimi into a bedroom, change before your friends
leave so all can join in wishing you a good trip, Elsa said.
Mimi and Elsa walked in, the maid closed the bedroom
door. Mimi turned around and found herself facing a stranger. Elsa’s eyes were cold, inquisitive. An
air of expectation prevailed in the room. Neither Elsa nor the maid, standing
by her mistress, made any attempt to help her. Instead they stood there and
watched Mimi’s every move. Mimi pretending not to notice went to the closet to
get her clothes to change. The maid helped her to take off her veil, unzipped
her bridal gown and quickly stepped back. Mimi in one movement let it fall to
the floor. Their mouths dropped. Their eyes opened wide reflecting admiration
in spite of’ themselves and disappointment and envy. Had Etienne confided in
Juan? What did they know?

Marriage is the cause of divorce.

If U r planning marriage, get in depth professional advice 1st.
