"You're going to look absolutely gorgeous in this dress. It fits you perfectly, Winter."

"Do you think Aaron will like it though?"

"I know he will. Besides, he loves you in anything."

I smiled at Roya as I caught her eyes in the mirror. She flew out to Mami to help me prepare for the wedding since I asked her to be my maid of honor. My brothers flew out as well to help Aaron on his part and to help pay for everything. The wedding wasn't going to be too big since we didn't plan on inviting too many people, just close friends, and family.

"What else do we need to do today?"

"You still need to pick a final venue for the wedding out of the two we've narrowed it down to. Then we need to find you and Aaron a place for your honeymoon-"

"I don't think we're going to have one."

"What do you mean you aren't having one?!"

"We have Carnation to take care of, Roya. I don't feel comfortable leaving her right now. She just turned a year old."

She sighed in frustration as she massaged her temples and closed her eyes.

"Winter, we've talked about this how many times now? I told you, I didn't just fly out here to be your maid of honor... but also to help take care of her. You guys are going on a honeymoon at least for 2 to 3 weeks, please? You both deserve the break."

"Fine. But you better call if something happens to her."

"Winter!"

"What?!"

"Relax. I know what to do damn. I have 2 kids of my own or did you forget that?"

"Sorry."

"Don't be, it's fine. Trust me I was the same way when I had my first born and truth be told it didn't get easier with my second born but I did have more experience with it by then. Now, can we please finish? Are you getting this dress or not?"

Chuckling at her I nodded my head. I know she's looking out for me and has my back no matter what. It's why I love her.

"Good. Now then as I was saying, we have a venue to finalize and book, we need to find you and Aaron a place to go for the honeymoon and lastly, we need to get that damn wedding cake ordered. Other than those few things, we are done."

With that, we paid for the dress and left the shop going to our next destination which was the cake shop where we tried all the different flavors of cake and icing while talking about how exactly we wanted the cake to look. Once we figured that out, we talked about the venue which was going to be on a private beach out in the Caribbean then for our honeymoon we are going to Fiji.

Once we finished ordering the cake, we double-checked the list to make sure that we had everything. Once it was confirmed that everything was complete, we started booking a hotel for me and Aaron to stay in along with the people that were coming to the wedding. We reserved the rooms for Aaron and I. Roya paid for her room and then after that, she sent out a link to the hotel's website to our guests so that they could book their rooms as well. Next, Roya booked the plane tickets that we would need for the trip out to the wedding venue and for the honeymoon and she also reserved our hotel at the same time.

"Alright, I think that covers everything," Roya said as she checked off the final thing.

"What about the wedding programs and the invitations?"

"I'll take care of both of those. I still have the invite list that we created so I'll take care of it and have them sent out before the weekend."

"Ok, thank you."
