LJ Idol: Week 19 - Et tu, Brute?

[wookiewife]

She is surrounded by women, all of them tugging her in different directions. One jerks her head from side to side, trying to get the antique ivory comb to stay put in her hair. Another straddles her legs and attacks her face with makeup to give her that polished, but natural look. A third is at her feet, trying to touch up her pedicure before

*shivers* I loved this, and would also love to know more!

I totally feel like it was the groom who left her. Great build up, and I like the corset laces ending.

A few unanswered questions for me but a really good story. I love the idea of the curse. I think someone long ago was offended by the bride to be and may have even killed the groom to be!

Interesting! Great visuals on the bride's preparation, too, I love the language there. Curious to know more of what happened - a modern or an ancient curse?
