The Exit

It was still snowing just after the ceremony, when a gleaming white carriage whisked the bride and groom away to the reception. The town was quiet except for Andrew's niece ringing the church bells and the clump of horse hooves, remembers Kiley. A pair of horses dressed in red velvet, with red roses and ribbons in their manes and tails, led the way, while the newlyweds snuggled amid the billowing folds of Kiley's gown and white velvet marabou-trimmed cape.
