Regal, yet free—Kaitland's confidence struck me in her eyes as we told a story of romance and femininity for her groom. Up, away in the hidden corners of the McAlister-Leftwich house, her free spirit began to explore the detailed rooms and hallways leading to the attic space. In this place, a window overlooked the setting for the ceremony and Kaitland allowed herself several long breaths there, looking out at all that awaited her. Her heart balanced delicately on the edge, an eager, confident woman ready to step into her fullness as a bride to one eager, confident man.
