A Wedding in the Village (20 page)
Sue and Ned’s wedding had been a quiet affair at the registry office, with Luke to give her away, Megan as bridesmaid and the boys happy enough but casting yearning looks at the recreation ground across the way where their friends were congregated.
Megan’s parents had been over for New Year and been delighted to know that Luke was to be their son-in-law. They’d gone back in the first week in January and taken Izzy with them, and the three of them would be returning for the St Valentine’s Day wedding, when Izzy would sign the contract that would make Luke the owner of her house.
She’d left a key so that they could do some jobs around the place, and on the night before she was due to arrive Luke had suggested to Megan that they go round there.
‘Close your eyes,’ he said as he led the way into the sitting room. Puzzled, she did as he asked. ‘You can open them now,’ he told her, and the first thing she saw when she did was her portrait on the wall.
Tears glistened on her lashes. How could she have ever doubted that he loved her? she thought. Luke had bought the painting months ago, long before she’d sorted her feelings out. She remembered Sonia saying that the purchaser had been very keen to buy it.
‘I love you,’ she said, moving into his arms.
‘Why?’ he questioned laughingly. ‘Is it because I know a good painting when I see one?’

On a cold day in February a bride and her new husband, with most of the villagers gathered around them, were on the riverbank.
It hadn’t been possible to have the wedding ceremony there, as Megan had once dreamed, so it had taken place in the beautiful old village church. But Luke had ensured that at least a part of his bride’s dearest wish was being fulfilled, as they stood on her beloved riverbank in each other’s arms and smiled for their first photographs as husband and wife.
