I Morning

The morning is yours.

The bridal suite is yours for the three hours before the ceremony, in a farmhouse built in 1845. Hair in the window light, the dress on its hanger, your mother working the last button.

Across the yard, the groom's side gets the corn crib for the entire rental period. Doors open, boots up, nowhere else to be.

The last buttons on the back of the bride's gown in the farmhouse bridal suite.
