The Bride In Black

Part 81

I woke up to the bright sweet sound of the alarm bringing me into the world after last night. I pushed myself up and stretched myself a little seeing it was still dark outside. I made the bed as I got out of it and set myself some music on and ran myself a hot steamy bath. With bubbles, bath salts, muscle soak, and a nice shimmer bath bomb all of it with a sweet rose scent. Making sure to turn my rollers on and get my vanity set up as it ran, Once the bath had been run I turned it off and threw my nightie into the laundry basket climbing into the nice hot water letting it relax my every muscle. I grabbed my wash cloth and scrubbed every last inch of me within an inch of my life once the water began to go cold and I was as clean as I could physically be. I climbed out wrapping a towel and my robe around me tightly heading to my vanity. I got my little tub and filled it with hot water and some nice Epsom salt, even a few rose petals sitting my feet inside. I got a sweet rose face mask sitting it against my skin at times rolling it against my skin with a little rock roller I had. I grabbed my curlers slowly moving the hot rollers into my hair making sure they wouldn't move in the process. I had already shaped and filed my nails yesterday so I grabbed my cuticle oil giving them a good slavour while I waited out my time on my face mask and my toes. Once my time was up I moved the tub away and pealed the mask off like a layer of lizard skin tossing it away immediately. By then my hands were ready so I did a base coat, then a nice muted blue I had picked out painting it down my natural nails, then once that was dry a sweet matte black gradient at its most at the tip of my nail. Of course wrapping the tip and adding a thick top coat in order to keep it nice without chipping given the busy day ahead. By the time it was nice and dry my rollers were almost cooled down so I sprayed a good heap of setting spray on my head in the hope to keep the curls tight. I very careful did my make up as it is not something I have much skill with but I did my best not using to much as to still see my natural skin as well as my freckles, I did a well blended eyeshadow black in my outer eye into a light almost white grey with some black and grey skimmer across it along with a small but sharp eyeliner with not much of a tail or flick. I contemplated fake lashes but they seemed a little much so I did a few coats of mascara making sure it is a good waterproof kind as I imagine I will be full of tears. I tested two or three lipsticks holding them to my face but often didn't think they looked right, before I found the sweet dark blood red matte lipstick that I knew would fit perfectly just dark enough to not look strange but just light enough for some sweet colour. I checked the time and knew it was now time to get dressed.

I went to my wardrobe picking out a sweet black pair of panties that were cute but comfortable airing more on the comfortable side given. I'm marrying a vampire, we will be mated for all our immortal life, and he's a virgin. Let's be honest, I don't need to impress anyone. I got myself the bra that matched the panties making sure not to have it too tight but adjusting the straps a little to make sure it looked nice slipping on a nice pair of tights having a mild fight with them as I did. I slipped on my little black shoes with barely more than two inches of wedge heel, a little strap around my ankle and then I turned my attention to my dress.

It immediately made me smile.

It had a tight corset style bodice with a sweetheart neckline, the bodice sculpted with intricate filigree in a dark silvery grey that was almost unnoticeable from the black of the dress but shimmered when it caught the light. Tulle ran across the sweetheart neckline hiding my bust and hanging off my shoulders with sweet silver flecks also almost unnoticeable, from the bodice down this long flowing tulle ball gown that stopped just at my ankles to allow me to see my feet this too had the slightly flecks of silver shimmer in the other wise black fabric I looked at myself in the mirror and even with my hair still in its curlers I had to fight my urge to cry.

No. We can't cry. Not yet. Haven't even seen thomas yet.

I moved around mostly swishing my skirt around before slowly going over to my vanity Again I pulled each curler out of my hair and gave it a gentle comb keeping the sweet curled waves I pinned up some of the hair near the front so it wouldn't affect my face pinning it up and setting one of the sweet juniper roses from the garden on top of the pins having to clip it there to make sure it kept still. I have myself a spray of all required sprays, hairspray, deodorant, setting spray and of course my perfume.

I put my necklace on letting it hand sweetly and I took my bouquet in my hands eight of the beautiful juniper roses, various small babies breath flowers, lavender and lilac all together in a sweet bouquet with red ribbon around it to tie them up it hanging down low. I held my breath holding my flowers closer as I turned for a moment unable to look at my reflection but I looked up and couldn't help my smiles.

"My goodness." A voice spoke up I looked and saw Natalie had just opened the door in her pale red dress her hand to her diamond necklace

"Hi" I blushed

"You look beautiful my dear." She smiled

"Thank you. Just wish my family could have seen it"

"In sure they are in tears looking at you now" she says "and are thrilled for you to be becoming a part of our family." She smiled "and I am, ecstatic that a wonderful girl like you will be a part of our family, I couldn't have asked for someone better for my thomas"

"You mean that?"

"I do. Truly" she nods "shall we?"

"Okay" I nodded "I'm ready"
