Part 68- Wedding Shopping.

Zoe's POV.

The time has finally come. It' April 2015. The month of Alfie and I's wedding. I'm shitting myself, cause we're going to Cannes in 2 weeks and then poof we'll be married. You've no idea how scared I am. But after knowing Alfie for so many years, I feel like we're already married. Today is exciting cause I'm going dress shopping and I'm bringing all my brides maids and close family to go shopping, but they don't know they are brides maids yet. I'm just about to send a text so lets see how it goes.

To: Tan, Chummy, Anna, Poppy, Mum, Amanda, Niomi, and Natalie.

'Hiya, I was thinking about Dress Shopping today. Do any of you fancy coming with me? Don't want to make the decision today. And sorry ladies, but I've chosen my brides maids already. Hope to hear from you soon!' Send. I feel bad for lying to them, but that's what's best. I feel like since Joe and Natalie got together, I've become so close to her. She's the nicest person, and we've shared so many secrets. I really hope she'll become my sister in law one day. Instantly I get reply from all of them.

Chummy: So am I not your maid of honor then? Jk where do we meet?

Tan: Yeah sure, where about?

Poppy: I'll be there. Where exactly?

Mum: Of course Zo. Let me know where.

Amanda: No problem.


Niomi: YAY! I'll be there... wherever it is.

Anna: Yeah, Jonathan has the kids.

Natalie: Yeah, can Joe come? He's got nothing on.

I reply with:

'Ladies, it's at (some sort of expensive french wedding dress shops with lots of choices) in London. There is only 2, and one of them is closed today... so go to that one. Natalie I'd rather Joe not come because I want to see his face when I walk down the isle. Tell him I love him, but I'm sorry. See all of you at 2?!' They all replied with 'Be There.'

As Alfie and I are lazy, and leave things to last minute... we're still writing the invitations. Save the date's went out months ago, but now for the invites.

"Alfie, I really like this style." I said holding up the invitation I just finished.

"Whatever you like." He sighs.

"What's wrong gorgeous?!" I said kissing his lips. It was me doing all the work, his lips just stayed there.

"Gorgeous?" I asked knocking his head.

"What?!" He snapped.

"Jeez. What's gotten to you?"

"I'm sorry Zoe."

"What for?"

"I've just got butterflies doing all this."


"Alfiee! Your marrying me, not some stranger. We love each other... right?"

"Yeah. I'm just nervous."


"Alfie. After the wedding, everything will be the same."

"It's not afterwards, it's during."

"Gorgeous. It's our day."


"This sounds weird but—"

"But what?"

"Can we rehearse?"

"Yes, but not our vows. I want your true reaction on the day."

"Of course." I stand at the cozy room door, while Alfie is at the doors to outside. I do my bridal walk across the room, and he just laughs.
