Mirror Mirror

Looking in the mirror....perhaps trying to see into the future— this young  bride-to-be holds up her wedding dress dreaming of tomorrow. For tomorrow she will be placing a ring on her finger. With love in her heart and dreams to fulfill she is determined to make her marriage work. How can it not...when there is love involved?
Away with the nay-sayers who say love is just not enough. Be gone with those who believe she is too young. What do they know?
Afterall, she will be wearing her mom's wedding dress. A dress that her mom hand-stitched with love. A dress that was greeted at the end of the aisle by a caring man. The very dress that brought years of bliss to the most important people in her life.
The young bride's thoughts were suddenly disrupted when she heard her mother ask if she had finished dusting the parlor floor. The girl quickly placed the dress she will one day be wearing back in its box, picked up the dust rags she placed by the mirror and quickly finished her chores....Afterall, a girl can dream.
