The men of Black Hawk also had faces brimming with joy, offering their most sincere blessings, for they had all witnessed the ups and downs between Joshua Sulliven and Keira Leaf over the years.
Stuart Truman, too, stood on the sidelines with a slight smile on his face, watching as she, clad in her bridal gown, beamed with happiness, as if he had finally let go of a burden from his heart.
Upon hearing the news, Jill Gilbert had come early, along with Sandy Young, Grace Wood, Matthew Green, and quite a few editors from the magazine office; they all clustered by Keira Leaf's side, eagerly awaiting the wedding.
Soon, under everyone's expectant gaze, September 6th arrived as promised.
By 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, the invited journalists and guests had already taken their seats, chatting in twos and threes, patiently waiting for the wedding to begin.
