Rosa grinned at Emma, "Let's go............" She quickly got out of the room and ran towards the hall to grab some early snacks. She took one last look at the wooden carriage. It was beautifully decorated with flowers on its corners. She felt a bit giddy at the thought of her friend in the carriage the procession will be beautiful.
