The Wedding That Stopped<\/h1>\n

The wedding took place at Briarwood Estate, a white-columned venue outside Charleston, South Carolina, with manicured lawns, a lake behind the ceremony arch, and two hundred guests dressed like they had stepped out of a magazine spread.<\/p>\n

My son, Daniel Whitmore, stood beside his bride, Vanessa Caldwell, looking like a man who had just won the lottery. My wife, Margaret, sat in the front row with tears in her eyes, holding a folded handkerchief in both hands\u2014the same handkerchief her mother had carried at her own wedding forty-two years ago.<\/p>\n

For months, Margaret had tried to love Vanessa.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d helped choose flowers\u2014driving to three different florists until Vanessa found the \u201cperfect\u201d white roses.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d helped address and mail four hundred invitations, each one hand-calligraphed because Vanessa insisted printed labels were \u201ctacky.\u201d<\/p>\n
