Six Sentence Sunday #21

Continuing the scene of Sandy's wedding. The ceremony is about to start, on the beach. Neal's in the main tent (really just a canvas roof) with April, among the crowd of guests. The wedding has a Moroccan theme. The bride appears:
The music started and everybody turned toward a smaller tent some fifty feet away. Miranda and Robin came out and headed toward the main tent, their colorful striped dresses billowing sideways which accentuated their curves.

Sophie showed herself in the doorway of the small tent, probably pausing there as much for effect as because of nerves. A wide band of pearls across her forehead kept her wild dark curls under a bit of control. Her dress wasn’t especially low-cut but the sparkly, white silky thing  clung to her body for dear life, and her feet were bare. This Moroccan thing was a good idea.
 
Go here for more excerpts from a lot of talented writers. I'll be doing my usual round of SSS reading too, so don't sit idle!

Thanks for visiting, it's good to see you.

  3. Nice six, Marcia! Morrocan...different, a nice choice. :-) I like how you ended it by jumping into his head "This Moroccan thing was a good idea."

  5. Hello, this is my first time visiting your blog. I loved the descriptions in your six, all so very visual allowing me to see the scene clearly. And, I'm an "owl lady" myself. Although I never submitted it, I once wrote an entire novel wrapped around the mythology of owls. Happy to "discover" your blog haunt. :)

  6. Why, Mae Clair, I'm honored to have you join me. It's always great to meet another owl person.

    The scene I'm using for SSS is something I wrote while stalled with the novel itself. I love my two protags so much I usually have scenes with them in my head so sometimes I just write them out to see what happens. The bonus is that I get to know them better that way :D
