Parachute

She married in her great grandmother's wedding dress, sewn up from the parachute that saved her great grandfather's life. Something old, and borrowed from the war museum that kept it pristine. They would add a photo of the day to the exhibit, and she would tell them how marriage was like a parachute jump, a great adventure but with something holding you safe. But as she walked to the altar she heard the silk whisper: in case you need to jump.
