Finally-
Vernon and Teale had a truly a white wedding one snowy Christmas in Switzerland and could not resist renewing their wedding vows with friends. When first they eloped, Millicent Mon Cheri’-Miller and her husband Gordon gave birth to their first son, Meridian and Dane had their twin boys and then Millicent expected their second son, when then Meridian and Millicent gave birth to their lovely daughters before they could watch Vernon and Teale celebrate their love.
Wed in regal white and teal, the affair was marvelous. The seasons had not changed for Teale Carlisle or Vernon Shelby, regardless of their age difference. They were together, handsome, strong beautiful, and as Dane and Meridian, Millicent, and Gordon, Padme, and Linux, another match made in heaven. Teale was a beauty and Vernon took care of himself. He was still good looking, had a cheerful outlook, congenial spirit, and in good health for his wealth.
He and Teale were an extraordinary couple who celebrated their union in Switzerland. Their chalet is mostly glass, and their newly designed three m story home, astounded their guests. Their chalet in between mountains was serene in every season. It viewed other mountainous landscapes and the scenery was breathtaking! Vernon’s family was from Switzerland. Only as a child had his grandfather taken him there where he remodeled his home in the mountains.
He designed it for Teale. The land was vast, and their home was spacious. As she loved flying over the mountains that winter holiday for one of her fashion shows, on a trip she could have never even imagined, or the look on her face when Vernon said the Chalet belonged to them, she was blissed. The grand chalet. It’s spacious lands are filled with acres of lush green grass, trees, and mountainous moors. Vernon and Teale spent of the last two years re-shaping her future of clothing designs.
Her designer stores in three major cities was still doing well, so Switzerland, there they went! Through the chalet rests another spacious home. Vernon had repairs done, they replaced lighting fixtures, wires, pipes, stairs, railings, knocked down walls, and renovated the crevice with new floors, and appliances. He had the entire outer walls of the house gutted, twelve feet from ceiling to floor and replaced windows with stained glass, and the quadrant U-shaped ranch appeared in the sun.
The roof was raised three stories and had
Replaced the shingles with stone. All they saw for miles, were green mountains in the summer, snow caps, and blue skies in the winter. Their wedding was a heavenly sight off the mountain cliffs of their modern glassed cathedral looking abodes. It was as if floating in midair and not short of Teale’s classy enchantments and their Swiss chalet is impeccable and Vernon had been charmed by its graces since he was a boy.
Enid Rae flew along with Gordon, Millicent, Dane, and Meridian but missed and grieved her late companion Charles Scott. He suffered one heart attack too many and was bedridden for the rest of the short life he had left. Charles died in his sleep, but the autopsy showed his death was caused by a massive heart attack, while Enid’s late husband Denim had been dead a long time. Gordon, and Dane attended the wedding, but flew back to the sultry lands the next day.
They had been to Vernon’s chalet so many times during the remodel, they were over it besides, they had a lot going on at home. Everyone, and especially Vernon missed Charles. They had been friands since after college too and he suffered the loss. Charles was Enid’s loyal friend and companion for a time, and was at a standstill for a while, it was good she traveled, and enjoyed her five-day stay in Switzerland. It was a place she wanted to go ever since she was a child.
Enid was given a private suite, positioned well, and she was able to reflect. The excitement the day before the wedding was outrageous, and in her honor, Miss Enid Rae was still slightly ditsy, but well loved. She, and Meridian had always been remarkably close, and so with Millicent. In her suite, Enid spoke to Charles from the clouds to say what was on her mind, her suite too, was like it floated in midair. They had two housekeepers in Switzerland, one of them set up Enid’s wardrobe.
Enid gazed at the snowcapped mountains and embroidered until called for a meal. She stayed to herself, but left her doors open. It was her late husband Denim d’ Anise, a slight tyrant, she had missed her whole life. Teale and Vernon’s wedding was formal and majestic overlooking the springs, waterfall, and its grandeur. Charming, would be putting it lightly. The colonial style their three-story home filled with space, held their lives precisely as well as the lives of many.
It was an occasion of a lifetime and the couple stopped at nothing to please each other. The affair elegant and sumptuous, read that they will never part adrift. Vernon and Teale were fabulous. When he kissed his bride with a desire she could taste, in the glass palace they lived, there was no wonder it did not shatter with passion, like the fireworks they had in the bedroom. Meridian’s cousin Jonjoui could not make the trip. She was busy in the sultry land with her beauty business and could not leave.
Vernon and Teale were incredibly happy. Their lives in Switzerland was, fulfilling and called their winter retreat, Chateau Shelby. Vernon spent wonderful times with his brother’s hunting in view of the mountains when he was a boy. Teale’s clothing galleries were successful in elegant places there, her designs were hard to resist, and trendsetting. She was the fabulous name behind the style and her quality clothing sold at fashion shows for at high stakes.
Teale became independently wealthy before she knew it, but what did she expect? Her clothes featured in her design shops and were shortly worldwide in major department stores. Vernon was grateful he had Teale as his wife and woman. She was a tall, classy, elegant, picturesque beauty who was thoughtful and came from trying beginnings and won a Verona Saunders designer scholarship for college, ran to chase her dream, and worked ridiculously hard.
Teale had exceptional talent, learned all she could, and said when she started to make money, she promised to help her mother, but by that time, Colleen met someone worthy, and both Teale, and her mother did not look back, and were doing well ever since then. When Teale got off the plane in the sultry lands with the girls, she waved at Vernon that late afternoon. Her husband, she knew, was just as pleased to see her too; they spent their lives in marital bliss, he missed her since Miami.
Vernon re-traveled the world with his wife. Their dinner arrived at their sultry land home just in time and he knew she would be famished, and they talked. She was not just blowing smoke about Sadir, and India’s talents in fashion.
“They stayed focused the entire seminar and worked extremely well together compared to most of the class.” Vernon expected no less. Sadir d’ Anise, and her cousin India, were talented girls, and worked well together.
To work, they did well and were only allowed to in Teale’s boutique, and at la’ Boutique for Miss Enid at the d’ Anise plaza square. They were a handful, so Millicent and Meridian had doubts about their abilities. Teale with no children, soaked in a heated bathtub of fragrant bath salts. Vernon was debonair with a positive zeal for life. He was virile, distinguished, with a dry wit, keen sense of humor and he and Teale deserved each other.
