English term or phrase: She watched Hollis moving down the aisle with measured grace
She watched Hollis moving down the aisle with measured grace. Her wide-spreading dress looked like a concoction of spun sugar. Hollis was beautiful. She stopped beside Jack, and he smiled down at her. Sharon knew that Jack would do everything in his power to make Hollis happy.
