“The hanging light fixtures bring a lot of warmth to this experience,” Reggie murmurs from beside me. I look up at him and smile. For some reason, I’m only now noticing how much my brother has aged. Reggie has always had softer features that made him look much younger than he was. Yet tonight, under the warm glow of candlelights and a starry sky, Reggie looked manly.

The smell of freshly cut grass passes through the air. A banner that read congratulations Kate and Harrison hung between two trees. Tables set to seat six at a table with flower centerpieces. Party lights strung between trees and tea candles on tables illuminated the area. People dressed in black and white suits walk around offering drinks to the guests.
