I slide on my dress and smooth it out looking over my reflection in the mirror. It looks good, just missing something. I stare for a while before settling on pearl earrings to complete the look. The dress is navy blue, and it hugs in all the right areas. We are taking our friends our for their anniversary dinner, a small and fancy steakhouse in town. We’ve known them for 5 years of their marriage, it only makes sense to treat them to dinner! I was her maid of honor, my fiance Tim was his best man. We usually get drinks on their anniversary, but this year we decided on dinner. We also have not been to this steakhouse before, so having a nice dinner would be good for us too.
Tim walks up behind me, wraps an arm around waist and nuzzles into my neck through my dark cascading hair. “You look delicious in that dress my love.” He whispers in my ear.
“Oh thank you honey, I just wanted something that felt right for the occasion. This is a big anniversary for them!” I say, wrapped my hand around his neck to keep his face in that delicate crook under my chin.
