Every so often when I'm running sound for a ceremony, I'll see the bride walk up to her position just before she hits that aisle. Most of the time this is the first time I've seen her since our consultation meeting. Sometimes she's close enough for me to say "you look great." Other times, she's too far, but we make quick eye contact and trade smiles.
I'm sure there is relief in her mind that I showed up -- as I'm sure there's always always a slight fear of vendor "no shows." But I'd like to think that my smile or comment eases a few of those nerves she may be experiencing.
It's an interesting moment, because in many cases it's only the third time I've ever seen her. The other two times in casual settings, while she is casually dressed. And here she is, probably the most beautiful she's ever been in her entire life.
So after that quick smile, I hit the music and she's off. Walking as a "Miss" and coming back a "Mrs."
