Anastasia's POV:

This past month has been so busy. Preparing for one of the largest events in Sebastian's and I's life, while trying dedicate all our time to Lola. We work so well together, making a great team. Great parents. I was excited to marry the man of my dreams.

Seb and Sawyer have gone suit fitting for the wedding, as one is the groom and the other one is his best man. Meanwhile, I went dress shopping with the girls. Zara flew back here from Greece a few weeks ago for the wedding preparations and to help out with Lola since she's still a baby.

After trying on several dresses, I found the one. You know how everyone says that they found their perfect dress? Well, this is MY perfect dress. It is quite extravagant but I'm in love with it. It hides the small bump I still have on my stomach from Lola and I feel beautiful. Like truly beautiful. I can't wait to walk down the aisle and see Sebastian standing there, waiting. For me and only me.

Zara insisted that she would do all of the wedding planning because we had to spend time with our baby girl. We talked about our dream wedding and she wrote down notes, pulled out pictures and said she was going to plan the most beautiful wedding for us. I was so over the moon and Sebastian was right by my side through it all. We were beyond confident with Zara's abilities and were certain that the venue would be one to remember.

The wedding is tomorrow and to say my emotions are a whirlwind is an understatement. I was nervous. I don't know why but I was. But I was excited, so damn excited. We decided to keep the wedding small and private with just my bridesmaids, Sebastian's best man and the officiant. Does that sound sad? Well, in our minds it doesn't. Our wedding is just for us, no one else needs to be there and we both knew that our families would never be able to come. That was a bittersweet memory that I definitely didn't need to be reminded of.

Tonight Sebastian and I are sleeping in different rooms, different wings of the house in fact. I'm sleeping in the east wing with Victoria, Zara and Lola while Sebastian is sleeping in the west wing with Sawyer. Our relationship may not be orthodox but we will follow the rules for before our wedding. So Sebastian and I won't see each other until I'm walking down the aisle with my bridesmaids next to me and Lola in their arms. 

— 7:30am, Wedding Day! —

Lola was such a good girl and slept through most of the night which means I got a good sleep and now I'm not tired to get ready.

Victoria and Zara were the first ones awake and when I opened my eyes, they were staring at me with wide smiles on their face.

"Ah fuck!" I jumped, startled.

"Shhh no swear words" Victoria replied, covering Lola's ears.

We all laughed as I got out of bed.

"Ok you, go have a shower while Victoria and I prepare our stations" Zara gently pushed me into the bathroom.

"What about Lola?" I questioned before the bathroom door was shut behind me.

"I've got her!" Victoria yelled through the door.

I had such good friends.

I brushed my teeth, washed my body to clean off all of the baby vomit- yeah it's gross, I know, - shaved everything - and I mean everything - and finally washed my hair.

When I walked back into the room I was surprised to see that it was turned into a salon. There was hair, makeup, nails, everything.

The time was now 8am and we had approximately 9 hours until it's time. Of course I wouldn't take 9 hours to get ready but we still had to do all of this, finalise my vows and eat. Cause I get hungry. Hangry I suppose.
