Wow, that was beautiful, I didn't see that one coming. ( Although 'supernatural' was a big clue!) You really built up the story, I was wandering how it was all going to end. Great description throughout, especially of the dress. ( love the pic). ' You Raise Me Up' means a lot to me, and our choir sang it for a charity concert once.

Well done.

'Trinity gasped as she watched Paul, dressed in a black tuxedo, step from a car, double-parked( beside the other cars).' (delete) There is no need to elaborate as most people would assume and know there will be other cars.

Great story with a nice twist at the end that made me shed a tear lol. Take care, my friend, and thank you for sharing.

I think this deserves seven stars!! However, since I have only six, that's how many I'm giving you. The story although sad, was very touching. It was surprising to realize it was her funeral instead of their wedding that they had planned together. Good luck with the contest!

This is a beautiful love story. However, I became confused along the way.
"Her fairytale wedding with the love of her life..." and "The beautiful bride allowed herself one momentary glance..." I know the funeral was the surprise ending, but the two sentences I mentioned clearly (at least to me) said wedding. When I read them, what did I miss?

I especially liked the descriptions of the flowers and the gown.

This story is very well written. I wasn't sure how it would end, but I figured that something had happened at the wedding. I didn't realize that it was Trinity's funeral. It is a good story, but I still want to know what happened to the poor girl. Nicely done.

That's so sad. It seems that what was meant to be that fairytale wedding was in reality the memorial service for Trinity. It also seems that her parents had gone before. Best wishes in the contest!
Suggestion:
white gladiolus, (gladioli) for the plural, or even gladioluses

I very much enjoyed reading your excellent story. It really drew me in and captured my attention from start to finish. I found myself rooting for the main character all the way and wishing the best for the individual. Your depiction of this situation was quite emotional and touching to me. Your descriptive skills are exceptional and you express yourself very well.
