A couple of months later, it's November now. It's been pretty crazy, firstly I'm all healed up and my dad is serving 20 years behind bars, I testified against him in July. Secondly, I didn't go on tour since I had to get better, I was in the hospital for an extra three days since the doctors weren't done with their tests. Today is Nancy's wedding and of course, Nancy is freaking out, I'm in the dressing room with her "Oh my god, this is not my color" She yells and throws the lipstick away "Nancy, you're getting married in 10 minutes, does it really matter what color lipstick? Nobody is going to be paying that close attention" She cocks her head around from the mirror and gives me a death glare

"I don't know how we are friends" Nancy shakes her head "Try this" Her bridesmaid hands her a lipstick "Oh my god, Becky this is orange..... ORANGE" I take myself to the temple and shake my head "I-I-I'm sorry" Becky's voice cracks "Becky, sweetie, THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE CRYING" Nancy yells "What about this?" Nancy's eyes widen "See this is exactly why I love you, Layla" I giggle at what she says "I love you too" Layla smiles and attempts to hug her "Don't..... hug.... me" I walk over to her as she starts to apply plum color lipstick "Man, you are really crabby today" She pauses and looks at me dead in the eyes "If I could I would kick your ass to Michigan" We are in LA "Meow" I gesture cat scratch motion and Nancy sighs "If Phillip says I don't I'm punching him in the throat" Nancy says as she finishes applying the plum lipstick color "I'm ready" She stands up.

Nancy is wearing an off-the-shoulder ball gown with a tiara and a long veil, she has her tied up in a stylish bun with two strands of curls hanging from the sides of her face. She looks like a princess "You look like a real-life Disney princess" The wedding bells go off "Oh my god, I need perfume" Nancy leans over her dressing table and grabs the Chanel gold oval bottle and spritz perfume on herself "Now I'm ready" We all walk down to the venue, she is getting married in this vineyard venue.

I stand with the other bridesmaids as two little girls are walking down the aisle carrying a basket of rose petals and dropping them on the floor. Everyone is now seated and Phillip is waiting for Nancy at the alter. Nancy walks down the aisle with her dad giving her away, I love weddings but they make me so emotional. My best friend is getting married to the man of her dreams, I grab my handkerchief and wipe the tear flooding my right eye. Nancy approaches the alter with the biggest smile on her face. She walks up to Phillip and stands opposite him, they grab each others hands and stare at each other with love in their eyes. It's pure and so beautiful.

After some time, Nancy and Phillip share their vows and slide each others ring on their ring finger. The minister declares them husband and wife, Nancy and Phillip now share a long tender kiss. Everyone cheers for them, the boys are whistling and the girls are throwing rose petals over them and the photographer they hired takes a picture of them. Everyone scatters inside the venue and I get back to my room to change out of my dress because it is so uncomfortable, it's a turtleneck dress, I usually don't mind turtleneck dresses, tops but it feels as if I'm being strangled. It's very tight around my neck. I brought it to Nancy's attention and she told me she was so sure she had gotten the measurements correctly, I suggested that after the ceremony I'd change to a different dress and she said it's a good idea because she doesn't want me to be uncomfortable for the rest of the wedding.

I change into a strapless gold ball gown with black and it has little shimmers on, someone knocks on my door "Come in" I yell, the door opens as I check myself out in the mirror "You look gorgeous" he wraps his arms around my waist and place gentle kisses on my neck and shoulder "Thank you Cole" I giggle and turn around. Cole gives me a kiss "Let's get back" Cole mumbles against my lips, we pull away from the kiss and head back to the venue. Cole walks in first and I walk in after him, I feel eyes on me when I scan the area including Marshalls.
