wed·ding\ˈwe-diŋ\
noun
: a ceremony at which two people are married to each other

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off I quickly turned it off and saw Jake already getting ready. He's in sweats with a black t-shirt and sandals. I laid my head back on the pillows. Today is the day that Bethany becomes a Miller. I'm excited for her but it's freaking seven in the morning the wedding starts at five,

"Remind me again why we have to get up this early for something that doesn't start until five" I groaned if you can't tell I'm not really an early riser

"Because" he came over and crawled on-top of me "In order for everyone to be ready and to get there we have to start getting ready by eight remember Bethany has a huge family"

He kissed me and I smiled,

"But still"

He laughed "come on get up I'm going to get Maria"

He got off of me and I got up and packed my things,

"Aren't you getting in the shower?"

"Dad got us a house for the females we're all getting ready there and then professional stylist are coming to do our hair and make up"

"What about your dresses?"

"Already there"

"Remind me to let your dad to organize our wedding" he smirked

He left the room to go get Maria. I packed all what I needed into a little duffle bag and brought it downstairs. I saw Baylor asleep on his dog bed. When he heard my movement he immediately got up,

"I won't be home for a while bud your grandfather is getting married"

He barked

"I know but when Jake and I get married you'll be in our wedding"

He wagged his tail,

"Do you want me to get him a tux?" Jake asked as he came down the steps

"That would be wonderful"

He rolled his eyes and I saw Maria coming down the steps,

"Too early!" she whined

Jake took the bags while I took Maria's hand and we headed out the door locking it behind us.

I'm with the girls in the house my dad rented so all the females could get ready. Bethany had her own room because she made it clear she didn't want anyone to know what her dress looked like. I was a bridesmaid along with Eliza and Rachel. Jake was the best man along with Austin. We have two flower girls Maria and the youngest grandkid Ally. Joshua is the ring bearer he's seven.

I'm in a separate room getting my hair done. I went simple waterfall braids something easy I don't really like my hair being in something that will take hours to get out,

"And I'm done" the hairstylist announced "you look marvelous Miss. Miller"

He spun the chair around so I could see then he handed me the mirror so I could look at the back,

"Thanks Liam" I got out of the chair and hugged him

"No problem"

I fastened the tie around my waist which held my white robe secure I went to get my make up done but when I went through the doors I noticed that the seats were full so I decided to pay Maria a visit. All the kids were in a different section of the house with their own hairstylist.
