May 2010
Dominique stole a glance at her little girl who wasn’t so little anymore. She couldn’t believe how much she had changed. Her daughter Rory Eleanor Taylor or should she say Dr. Rory Eleanor Taylor was now a medical fellow at just 28 and getting married to the love of her life. The man her daughter would be marrying was none other than Jimmy May, Chrissie’s son. Rory stood at the end of the isle her blonde hair curled in a half up half down style with a grayish purple dress that met the floor. Rory insisted her dress be different from “normal brides” but that was her daughter, the overachiever who wanted to change the world. Her drive Dominique always joked she got from her, but her big dreams came from Roger.
Roger Taylor
Roger changed her life from they day he met her. He opened her up to things she never thought she would see. His big dreams perfectly matched her practicality. It had been a rough road with Roger and so many struggles had come between them. Fear, touring, groupies, cheating, cancer, and of course Debbie. But through all of these struggles came a happier and stronger relationship.
Next to her sat Chrissie who couldn’t keep her eyes off of her son. Being a worried mother was something Chrissie had struggled with even though all of her kids were grown. Jimmy looked so grown up in his black and white suit, his brown hair styled and not ruffled as it usually was. He was incredibly calm unlike how Chrissie was on her wedding day. She was a nervous reck and so many things had gone wrong that day, but she remembered what made her feel calm.
Brian May
Sort of like Dominique’s, her marriage to Brian had been rocky. Despite being an amazing father and a funny, smart, and beautifully talented guitarist he struggled with being faithful. There were many girls. Many girls. Something that hurt her even more was he wasn’t afraid to write about them. Now I’m Here....It’s Late....Too Much Love Will Kill You...and who could forget I Want it All. But throughout all the girls, he always came back to her. They were still going strong after many many long years.
The music started to play and Rory and Roger started down the isle. The proud mothers looked at their children with all the love and happiness in the world. One of the things that kept them going all those years was their kids. Jimmy, Felix, Louisa, Rory, and Emily were the centers of their universes.
“She looks so grown up,” Dominique whispered to Chrissie “It felt like just yesterday she was a little baby and now in just the blink of an eye she’s getting married.”
“I was thinking the same thing about Jimmy you know,” Chrissie whispered back “ He looks so much like Brian did when we got married, it’s crazy how fast they grow up.”
As a tear slid down Dominique’s face, Chrissie took her hand. She wanted to be there for her friend. After all, Dominique had been their for her more times than she could count. They both had an understanding of each other that they didn’t have with anyone else, well except for maybe their husbands. Since that day at Hyde Park in ‘76 where they met they built a friendship. One that stood the test of time.
