COMMENT AND VOTE PLEASE, THE BOOK IS NEARLY FINISHED!

"Well?", Kayla asks.
"It's...beautiful", I gasp.
"Show us!". Carefully, I step out and into the shining light blaring down on me, almost blinding me. Quickly, I snap my head away and look directly in the mirror.
"This is the one", I confirm in front of the mirror, "It's perfect".
"Oh my god...", gasps Isabelle, "Yes, you have to get it". I smile at my reflection and at the beautiful dress. The whole dress is Snow White, sleeveless, with black flowers and vines winding up and down. A row of diamonds sit on the rims, shimmering in the bright lights.
"Cato won't be able to keep his eyes of you", laughs Carla.
"That's all he ever does...", mumbles Kayla but you can tell that she is happy.
I pay for the wonderful dress and begin the search for bridesmaid dresses. Eventually, we find 4 dresses that fit the criteria:one shoulder, white, sparkly and a mermaid bottom half. I'm ready to get married!
Now we are sitting on a train again. Not to district 2, nor to the Capitol, but to district 4. Although we aren't getting married for a few days, my mind is packed with things to prepare. Plus the fact that the wedding will be televised by the Capitol and honestly, Cato and I would of been fine with just the toasting but the Capitol wanted everything to be perfect. Carla and Isabelle sit next to me, on there phones, texting the boys. They are on another train, some tradition I suppose. Frost sets over the cold glass as we speed through Panem. Snowflakes gently fall, set on the window and then melt away.
When we arrive, late at night, Kayla is pretty moody from the long journey.
"You know what?", Carla says, lifting up her handbag.
"What?", I ask, doing the same.
"When we leave 4, you'll be Mrs Hadley".
"I can't wait!", I say excitedly.
On the lighted station, we meet Lillian and Tomaz, along with two guards behind them. What is there to keep us from now?
"Lillian!", I squeal, running to hug her.
"Clove!", she replies, wrapping her arms around me slightly. Lillian and Tomaz flew over from the Capitol yesterday, in order to get a head start in decorating.
Immediately when we arrive, several of our friends await outside what looks a mansion. Cato and I both decided to hire out a massive villa for all our family and friends, it seemed more fun! Gloss is here, so is Cashmere, Annie, Finnick, Jay, Cane and of course, Cato. As soon as my eyes set on him, I run to him, dropping my bags and hugging him tightly.
