Greetings! I'm one of the Reviewers for the 
 I enjoyed reading your entry - hope to see you in the next challenge 
This is a beautiful story of a lasting friendship ~ we choose our friends and hopefully treasure them as these two have shown ~ to last even past death ~ beautifully related here
I was slowed in a few places and offer a few suggestions here for your consideration. You open with a lot of names and I am a bit confused as to who is getting married, had to go back to reread that they both are ~ suggest something in the first paragraph to state that their weddings are planned for the same date? or for dates but a few weeks apart? which is why they are each shopping for a veil or headdress.
Also, a couple of places, I note dropped words in your upload, i.e., "Nadine extracted her purse from her inner pocket."
When you state that they were back in "regular clothes," perhaps describe ~ i.e., jeans, shorts, whatever they are wearing to show me.
Where "Eve followed, looking concerned." suggest a bit more show than tell, something perhaps like "Eve followed, frowning with concern." ???
Another dropped word, "Everythig is going according to plan."
The scene in the hospital, again, I had to reread to determine whose wedding would be moved up? perhaps another line of conversation, or description?
Also, when pinning on the veil, using the last name, perhaps instead identify Jean as Eve's second-best friend (if that's what she is?)...
Absolutely beautiful ending, stays with me, "the future that seemed to blend with the past as she carried both." ~ had to note it, it's so vivid
Thank you for offering this great read!
Keep Writing!
