Bob was dressed in a suit and tie, and the rest were also dressed for a wedding.
“Donna, these are Jenny’s friends from her work. This is Lova, Brendan, Mervin, Xao Ting, Adelle, Dhakira, Juan, Luz, Aliki, Leland, Mustapha, Leonora, Megan and Arvid,” he said, pointing to each as he introduced them.
“It is so nice to meet you all. Please follow me to the backyard. We didn’t have a big enough wedding party to have ushers, so I guess I get the honor.
They all followed her to the folding chairs arranged in a semi-circle around the trellis arch. As they were seated, she turned the wedding prelude music playlist on, and the doorbell rang again. She bustled to the front door. It was the minister here to perform the ceremony.
Donna went to the guest room that doubled as Jenny’s home office. George, Ed, and Burt were all standing there chatting quietly.
“It’s time,” she said. “The minister is here. George and Burt need to go out to take their places by him. Ed, come with me to get your daughter.”
The three men nodded obediently. Sam knew that Donna was the organizer in Jenny’s family, and she could be firm when the situation required it.
Ed put his arm around his wife and the two of them went to Jenny’s room. “Get ready to lead them out as soon as the wedding march begins to play. Jenny, grab your father’s arm. It’s time.”
She then hustled out to sit in the chairs reserved for her and her husband and on her way pushed the button that would play the wedding march. Burt and George were standing on either side of the minister who stood on the dais. Neither looked nervous. Weren’t new grooms supposed to look nervous?
As the march began to play all of the guests stood and turned toward the French doors. First came Sara, then Jenny two paces behind, clutching the arm of her grinning father and looking amazing.
As they arrived where Burt was standing, looking in awe at Jenny, Ed placed Jenny’s hand in Burt’s and retreated to stand beside his wife. The minister gave the signal for them to be seated.
The ceremony was simple, and when the two of them turned to one another to exchange rings, Sam found tears running down her face. As best friend, Sam would have been the one holding Jenny’s bouquet, but it seemed appropriate that the brother and sister who had spent so little time with Jenny when she was little could have this honor.
Then, as the minister pronounced the final words, “I now pronounce you man and wife,” something strange happened. The effect was entrancing. Suddenly the scene zoomed to Jenny’s and Burt’s faces, looking raptly into one another’s eyes. This portrait began to multiply behind them in an infinity mirror effect reproducing over and over again, getting smaller and smaller until it became impossible to see the details, then it was gone and once again she was peering through a cloud of tears into the calm little crystal pool.
“Eternity is more than an illusion of the imagination,” Miriha said, putting her arms around Sam’s shaking shoulders. “There is still much in their future and in yours. Let us begin.”
The End of the Foundational Trilogy for The Dimensional Alliance series...Or is it?
It is definitely not the end of the series. We will add several groups of books to continue to add to the multiverse we only touch on lightly in the first three books over time. The fourth book “Ripples of Infinity” will be published spring of 2021. Also, in the works us a Bob and Merv series where they go searching for the origins of the Dimensional Alliance Gate Network.

About the author:
Bonnie K.T. Dillabough
At 16 years old I started having a recurring dream that pestered me most of my life. Time and time again I would discuss the dream with people I thought were wiser than me and time and time again the repeated answer came, "No idea. I've never heard of such a thing."
At age 63 after having the dream once again I decided that maybe if I wrote it down it might leave me alone. I did so and filed it on my desktop, but didn't think of it again until I started hanging out with published authors.
Mercedes S. Lackey told me at one point, when I confessed I had often considered writing a book, "Put your butt in the chair and write!" It was some of the best advice I had ever gotten.
In search of material to write about I stumbled upon that dusty text file about my dream and the rest is history. From it came the science fiction - fantasy series "The Dimensional Alliance" beginning with "The House on Infinity Loop". Now, at the launch of "The Infinite Publishing Alliance, I find myself grateful for the events leading up to setting myself upon this path.
To my readers: Never give up on your dream. The first book in this series was published two weeks before my 64th birthday. It is never too late. There are many more to come.
