Friend's Mom
Last summer I was a groomsmen in a close friend's wedding. I was the only groomsmen with a natural bowtie. Everyone else had a fake clip-on bowtie. We're in the groomsmen room getting ready. I'm trying to tie my bowtie looking at instructions on my phone but I'm struggling. I'm the only one not ready. None of the other guys know how to tie a bowtie. But we're in a time crunch and I'm getting anxious.
My friend's mom (the mother of the groom) comes in and helps me. She knows how to do it. I was super frustrated before she showed up, but she had a calming presence about her. She also looked beautiful and smelled really good. She was standing right in front of me - there was probably less than 12 inches between our bodies as she's wearing this elegant dress. She spent about 3-4 minutes getting my bowtie tied up correctly. All the others are getting ready in position for the ceremony. Only my friend's mom and I are in the room at this point.
And the way she smelled was seriously intoxicating. Every few seconds she would look up at me and make eye contact. She was describing what she was doing to me in a quiet voice, almost a whisper. I was just staring at her in awe because she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in that moment. When she finished the bowtie she brushed my dress shirt with her hands where my shoulders and chest were and said I looked really handsome. I fell in love with her in that moment.
