- Dress Shopping Day -

Today was the day I was finding my dream dress to get married in. I was ecstatic! Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of this day. The day I find my perfect dress ready for my perfect day. Jake had left for breakfast with the men attending suit fittings about 30 minutes ago, and the people coming with me to find my wedding dress were to be arriving at any minute.

People attending Romie to the dress fitting; Perrie, Cristal Romies mother, Iren Romies Gran, her sister Jasmine, Naomi, Silver, Claud and her two little sisters, Emile and Rosalyn.

(Yes Carrie is not invited, due to them not speaking and the way she treated Jake)

We had all just pulled up outside the dress boutique. We stepped out of the hired limousine individually, myself and Perrie walked into the boutique first hand in hand.

Assistant: Hi there and Welcome to Bridal Boutique! Can I take your name please?

I gave her my name and she guided us to take a seat to wait for the sales assistant.

Grace: Hi everyone, I'm Grace and I'll be helping you find your dress today. Which one of you beautiful ladies is the bride?

Everyone glances at me and I laugh a little.

Romie: That would be me!
Grace: Well then Romie, let's find your perfect dress!

Jakes POV-

Me and the lads had just arrived at the suit shop. We walked through and we're fussed by assistants showing us ties and leading us to suits. We finally found one that I liked and knew Romie would too. I tried mine on and could imagine myself wearing this on the happiest day of my life, I knew for definite I was going through with this, I just wonder if Romie feels the same...

Romies POV-

I tried on a few dresses that I liked but I knew they weren't the one, however this next dress is similar to the one I've pictured in my head. I slipped the dress on with Graces' assistance. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the mirror, I felt perfect, as if this dress was made for me. I beamed at the dress and knew this was the one. I just hoped everyone else feels the same.

Romie: so what do you think?
everyone gasped at the sight.
Cristal: oh my! Roma you look absolutely gorgeous! *I walked to her and hugged her as I burst into tears*
Romie: mum don't cry! You'll start me off! *as I teared up*
Cristal: I just can't believe my baby girl is getting married!
Perrie: you look stunning! I'm so happy for you Roms, this is definitely the dress.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Grace placed a vale and hair piece onto my head.
Gran: oh my lord! Jake is one lucky man, you look beautiful my mini Roberts!
Romie: this is the one! *as I burst into tears*
Everyone gathered around and we had a group hug in tears of joy.

Romies dress-

Myself and Perrie decided to head to a bar before returning home with my sister for a drink or two. Of course Claud tagged along but it was a very close and intimate meeting. We ordered a round of drinks and chatted a bit before Jasmine had to head off as she was having to start packing to return to Australia. The three of us had one more round of drinks before calling it a night. Claud decided to find his own way home, where as I was dropping Perrie off before returning to my own home. "Somethings off, are you okay?" She questioned, I knew that if I could confide in anyone it would be Perrie. She is the one person who I know would never judge me but would tell me if I'm in the wrong. "I don't know, I just-" i sigh as we pull up outside her house, "do you think I'm doing the right thing?" I ask, "what do you mean?" She questioned with confusion, "marrying Jake, do you think I'm rushing into it?" I wonder, "that up to you to decide, you only know what's best for you" she responded, Perrie and her words of wisdom always help when I'm in need of it. We hugged each other goodbye and she exited the car.

I was driving, but not home. I was just going where ever my journey would take me. I came to a stop outside a gated off house, Masons house. I felt guilty for even being here, but I knew he understood me and I was in desperate need to speak to someone but I knew it would only hurt him in the process, seeing me once again. I turned my engine back on and took my route back to my house and Jake.
