“Looking For Ducks” by Jennifer Riley

Submitted to Contest #28

How many little girls spend years and years dreaming of the perfect wedding? How many will someday make that dream come true? How many will nearly pull it off only to be escorted off the premises by security? At least one that I have been privileged to observe.

Submitted to Contest #28
