Bella sat patiently in the pews with the rest of the Shelby family. Sticking to her word, she sat with Polly at the end of it. Away from the all the commotion, With Linda still waiting patiently to her left.
She looked at the other side of the church. All the men in red uniforms. Very proper and looking disturbed at what they saw in front of them.
How were these two families about to become one? Bella thought to herself. Then shaking her head, doesn't matter now I suppose.
Looking to her right, peaking over Polly's shoulder at to look at the Bible in her hand.
"I haven't been in a church since I was a little girl. Makes me feel uneasy." Bella whispered to her
Polly gave her a glance "oh hush now girl. You're with your aunt Pol, I'll help ya"
Bella saw a young boy walking down the aisle handing out music sheets for the church songs,
"Thank you" she said as she took one from him.
Polly didn't have the same reaction, she barely even looked up at the lad
"Some of us know the words." She told him and watched him walked off
Bella shook her head at Polly and looked back down at the sheet "show off" she said under her breath
Polly elbowed her for her comment, then looked up to see a man across the way, he had a mustache an a trench coat on.
The two made eye contact, holding it for a second.
Bella saw her looking and elbowed her back. "Looking to find love at a wedding Pol?"
She looked teasingly at Bella for her comment "I think it should be me trying to find you love here, see anyone you like?" She asked while gesturing to the other side
Shaking her head Bella scoffed "none of those blokes that's for sure"
Polly smiled at her comment
Bella looked up at the front of the room then. Tommy still stood there waiting. He stood tall and strong, his face void of any emotion.
He wouldn't look at her.
Bella felt little in that situation. She didn't know if she wanted him to look at her or not. It wouldn't make a difference, he was up there waiting for another woman.
Sighing she looked down at the paper in her hand again, trying to distract herself from the situation.
A few moments later the music started to play and the children Started to sing. It was time.
Bella watched as Jeremiah entered the room, Graces side gave looks of astonishment at the fact that he was black. Bella rolled her eyes at this.
She didn't like this group of people, and couldn't believe Tommy was marrying into it.
The music switched and started playing the traditional wedding song. And soon after she saw her enter.
Wearing a purple dress, matched with a purple veil. They walked slowly down the aisle.
Even Bella had to admit her dress was beautiful.
When she reached Tommy, the two turned to face each other, he lifted her veil.
Bella looked down, she didn't want to watch them interact, it would only make it harder.
"Dearly beloved.."Jeremiah started and Bella felt Polly reach down to grab her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
Bella looked over to see Polly already looking at her, Bella gave her a nod to tell her she was okay. They turned the face the front again.
