The glitter got everywhere, which Pearl had promised it wouldn't.

We had bought forty from a stall in Puerto del Carmen because she wanted something that looked like a joke and wasn't one.

Her mother decided we should all match, so on the terrace under the arch the bridesmaids stood in a row with palm trees placed high on our shoulders, each one a thin silver trunk running down toward the elbow. The breeze off the sea kept lifting the fronds at the edges, and Nell kept touching hers as if checking it hadn't flown off. She had been engaged once before, to a man who sold boats, and she told me the trick to getting through a day like this was to stop looking in the mirror and look at whoever was standing next to you instead.

At the reception Tomas hugged his brother so hard that a glittering frond came away on the white shirt, and the groom laughed and said it was the best thing anyone had put on him all year. Nell found me by the bar with a tissue, scrubbing at my own shoulder until the palm was a grey smear. "Leave it," she said. "Pearl will want the photographs." So I did, and by midnight the whole row of us looked as though we had been dipped in the same small, bright sea.
