He opened his door and climbed down, taking off past the front of the truck and toward the trailhead. Ours was the only vehicle in the small parking area, but I didn't let myself think of the logistics of guest parking.What in the world was going on?I tried not to panic, but goodness.

"I would really love your help," I said. "I'm Grace. I think my dress is in a basket in the backseat."

"Thank you."
"Yep. Just meet me behind the truck, we'll set up back there, and I'll get you all fixed up. Your mom's waiting with everyone else, and your dad will be here in just a minute to walk you out. No rush, but I'll get going on you as soon as you get back here."
"I'm ready, I’m coming," I said.
