traditional dress. After helping Nancy put on her dress and accessories, Kaine slipped on her dress. She loved it so much that she never wanted to take it off. She pulled on her thigh highs and slipped on her silver heels. She put on the beautiful silver rhinestone earrings that Nancy had bought for her. Studying her reflection in the mirror, she almost started to tear up. A few months ago she was overweight, unhappy and wore oversized clothes to hide her body. Now she was fit and confident. She had friends, and maybe something better than a friend in Shane.
The thought of Shane made her smile. She was looking forward to seeing him in his tux and to spending some quality time this weekend with just the two of them.

The ceremony itself was beautiful. Kaine couldn't help but tear up when get dad and Nancy exchanged vows. She blinked away her tears to see Shane grinning at her. She gave him a small smile and looked away. The groomsmen, who were just Jay and Shane, had on black suits and sky blue ties. The tie made Shane's eyes look impossibly blue. He looked so handsome that Kaine was having trouble keeping her eyes off of him.
"You may kiss the bride."
Kaine thoughts were interrupted by thunderous applause. She cheered and clapped with everyone, following the rest of the bridal party out of the church. Nancy and her dad got into one car, Jane took Logan, and Jay took her and Shane in his car.
Kaine eyes filled with tears again. "That was so beautiful. Nancy looked perfect."
"Cue the loser faucet!" Jay cried, laughing. Kaine rolled her eyes.
"The what?" Shane asked.
Kaine turned around to look at him. "He used to say that when we were little and I cried, cause I was a loser and my tears were a faucet, I guess. God, Jay, how did you come up with something so clever?" She joked.
"Oh, Kainie, don't be jealous. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone."
Jay was leaving shortly after the wedding to go back to school, and Kaine would miss him. It would be weird to have their new family without him there.
"I'll miss you going food shopping for me, I guess. I hope Nancy likes to go."
They pulled up to the house and climbed out of the car. The driveway and street were filled with cars already. "Kaine, you ready?" Jay asked. She nodded, and the three of them snuck inside to join the rest of the bridal party before they were announced. Logan went out first, followed by Kaine and Shane, then Jay and Jane, and finally the bride and groom. Kaine heard a lot of gasps as she walked out. She had completely forgotten that most of the people on the groom's side hadn't seen her since she was overweight. She hoped she didn't have to spend the whole night dealing with people gushing over her. She wanted to at least spend a little bit of time dancing with Shane.
Tom and Nancy had their first dance to "In My Life" by The Beatles. Kaine watched as they swayed back and forth, staring into each other's eyes. She had never seen her dad look so handsome. Crowds gathered on the dance floor as the first song ended and Kaine tried to find Shane. She spotted him dancing with his Aunt Jane. He looked at her and shrugged, smiling. She walked over to cut in when a hand pulled at hers.
"Kainie, dance with me?" Asked Logan. Kaine smiled down at him. "Of course. Come on." She led him to the floor and danced with him, trying to keep a straight face as he danced furiously, the only way a six year old boy knew how.
Shane watched Kaine dancing with Logan, a small smile on his face.
"He seems to have taken a liking to Kaine, huh?"
He grinned at his aunt. "How'd you know I was looking at her?"
She rolled her eyes. "Cause I'm not blind. Anyway, everybody's looking at her. She's stunning."
"Yeah," Shane said softly. "I don't know what she sees in me. I used to tease her a lot. Because I liked her."
"Well, kids do stupid things, honey. I'm sure she forgives you."
Shane chuckled uncomfortably. "The thing is, I pretty much teased her until the end of
