Wedding dress
Bridesmaids Dress
"This is a nightmare", I mumbled, "A total nightmare",
Only an hour was left for the wedding to start, but my dress still hadn't arrived.
"Harper, breathe okay?", Benny and Liv knelt down next to me, stroking my back soothingly.
"These fuckers!", Kenzie growled, throwing her phone on the bed, "Nobody is picking up! Why is NOBODY picking up!?",
"You're not helping Kenzie!", I snapped at her.
"I'm sorry Harper, it's just that, well you're getting married! And I am really stressed out about this marriage!",
"She's the bride", Bree pointed out, "I'm pretty sure she's much more stressed than you are",
"Yeah but I'm the planner", Kenzie explained, "And when things don't go as planned, the planner tends to get a little mad",
"Okay, everyone out!", I exclaimed, "I need to clear my head!",
I ran my hands through my hair in frustration as Liv lead everyone out of the room, leaving me alone.
We had been planning this out for months. Everything was supposed to be perfect.
Considering how much work Will and I had put into this. It had to be perfect.
I wanted to scream my lungs out or cry or.....break Kenzie's teeth! Anything! Just to let my frustration out.
But I didn't want to turn into a total bridezilla. Since Will and I were the first ones to get married out of our group.
Suddenly, my phone started buzzing and I hurriedly picked it up, hoping it was the boutique.
"Why is your window locked? Unlock your window", A voice hissed.
I don't believe I need to mention which lunatic loves climbing up to my window every now and then.
I went up to my window and lifted it open to reveal the grinning face of my fiancé.
"It's our wedding day and you can't find anything better to do than climb my window?", I scowled at him.
"Don't give me that judgmental look, I wanted to see my to-be wife that's all", He swoops in and grabs me by the waist.
"You can see her all you want, after she becomes your wife", I suggested.
"I'm very impatient Harp, you know that", He pecks my nose, "Why are you scowling? Where'd the smile go?",
"I am under a lot of pressure right now, smiling is the last thing on my mind", I snarled.
"What if I do......this?", He ran his fingers over my stomach, tickling me mercilessly as I struggled to breathe.
"W-Will-li-iam-m!! L-ee-t G-ooo-o!! St-ooo-pp-p!", I giggled profusely as he continued tickling me.
I pushed him away but he yanked me back, pinning my arms behind me and pulling me square against his chest. Our faces stopped just inches away from each other, making my heart flutter again.
"I thought I told you never to do that", I mumbled timidly.
"When have I ever listened to you?", He smirked, his thumb caressed my face as he leaned in closer.
"All the time", I giggled as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in.
We were millimeters away when the door burst open.
"THE DRESS IS HERE! THE DRESS-", Kenzie froze at the door, her eyes taking in the scene in front of her. Her face morphed from confusion to irritation to pure rage.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO SEE HER BEFORE THE CEREMONY YOU BASTARD!!", she yelled, advancing towards us, "DIDN'T I TELL YOU IT'S INAUSPICIOUS?!",
"Kenzie", I warned, "Don't you dare kill my fiancé on the day of my wedding",
"Oh I won't kill him", she sneered, "I'll just hurt him, REALLY hurt him",
"Will, run before she kills you", I quickly shove him towards the window. But before I could manage to, he pulled me, crashing his lips against mine.
"That's it, you're dead", Kenzie let out an offended gasp as she charged at him.
"See you at the altar babe", He flashed me a wink before swooping out the window.
"I'll get you for this!!", Kenzie yelled as she leaned out the window to the point of falling out.
"Love you too Kenzie!", Will yelled back.
"I swear Harper", she sighed as she glared at my flushed face, "Your man is out of control",
*****
"I feel bare, I feel naked, I feel like I'm showing off my body", Kat shuddered as she took her place.
"Shut up Kat", Her best friend Zoey smacked her arm, "Harper made us her bridesmaids too and she made you her maid of honor besides her best friends, you should honor her choices",
"I would've been her maid of honor anyways, in case you forgot, we have the same parents", Kat rubbed her bare arms, scowling.
"I can change my choice right now and have Kenzie take your place right now", I glared at her.
"But I vuv you", she grinned sheepishly.
Honestly, this girl is a pain.
"Okay, everyone shut up", Kenzie clapped her hands, "Bridesmaids, enter",
The Bridesmaids started to proceed towards the wedding altar.
The lump in throat seemed to have tightened, making it difficult for air to pass through, but somehow, I managed.
My dad took my arm and smiled down at me. Tears prickling his eyes.
"Papa, why are you crying?", I asked, resting my head on his shoulder.
"You're leaving today", he replied, his voice heavy with emotion.
"If you want, I can cancel all of this and stay with you", I offered.
"No, don't do that", he chuckled, "Will's a nice boy, he loves you very much",
"Pfft. That little puppy? He loves me, but not as much as you do", I joked, trying to lighten the mood, "Papa, I'm your Tiger okay? I'm not leaving you forever, I'll visit every chance I get, or if you want, you can hang around at our apartment, just don't bring mom with you",
"Tiger, you really are impossible", He shook his head, a small smile revealing the crinkles near his eyes, "I just want to apologize, I may not have been the best father, I never asked you about a lot of things and I regret it very much....I'm sorry if I wasn't the father you wanted me to be",
"Papa", I looked into his eyes, "You are the best dad anyone could wish for, you let me be who I am, you never neglected me, or treated me like an outcast when I felt like one, you were always the person I could lean on if the entire world went against me, and I always knew in my heart, that as long as you were there, nothing in the world could hurt me and I love you very much, more than I'll ever love anyone", I pecked his cheek and he smiled at me.
"I love you too Tiger", He kissed my forehead.
A/N: Sorry to interrupt...
MAAA GAAAWWWDD THIS IS SO SWEET!!
The veil was pulled down to my face as Kenzie gave us the cue to go forward. We started walking towards the altar and heartbeat sped up as I felt the eyes on me. I heard a few gasps as I passed by the guests.
Well this dress is working wonders.
As I walked down the aisle, it finally struck me. How far we'd both come from being middle school rivals. We'd be spending our lives together. Just like I'd imagined. We'd take the vows that would bond our souls together forever. As much as I thought about it, the pit in my stomach seemed to grow.
Before I knew it, dad exchanged a smile with Will and took my hand, placing it in his.
I couldn't see him properly due to the lacy veil that impaired my vision, but somehow I could tell he had that same twinkle in his eyes. The one which had annoyed me for years, but had somehow become enduring.
"Today, we have gathered together to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony", The priest began to speak and the knots in my stomach tightened.
This was really happening.
"William Jameson Green, do you take this woman, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?",
"I do",
He practically sounds giddy. Oh I love this man.
"Harper Charlotte Jones, do you take this man, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?",
I sucked in a deep breath.
"I do",
This is it.
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife", he said, "You may kiss the bride",
Will's hands left mine, as they began to lift up the veil from my face.
"Whoa", he whispered when he saw me.
"What?",
"You look.......beautiful",
"Mhmm now can you kiss me?",
"What if I don't?",
"Then I'll run away",
"To where? The ice cream shop across the road?",
"Oh my God!", Kat groaned, "Will you two kiss already? These heels are killing me!",
What a drama queen.
I wrapped my arms around Will's neck, pressing my lips against his as he lifted me off the ground in his embrace.
Everybody cheered, and I could've sworn I heard Kenzie bawl her eyes out.
Will pulled away and gazed at me.
"We're married right? Or am I still dreaming?",
"I hate to break it to you, but you're still dreaming",
"Aww shucks",
We both giggled as we sauntered down the aisle, hand in hand. Forever.
Is it fair to say, that I cried while writing this? My babies are married!!!!!
OHHHH MAAAAAAAAA GAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
