"Come on, y/n, we still have to do your hair and dress you!" Edwina complained as I took a bath to calm my nerves
"Oh leave her be, Edwina, it is completely normal to be nervous before the wedding, take your time, dearest" Mama called out
"Mama, we do not have time! The wedding is in two hours-"
"Edwina" I groaned "You are more demanding than me, and I am the bride" I stood up from the bath tub, a maid holding out a towel for me
I approached them, Edwina gesturing for me to sit down on the nearest chair once I stepped into my chemise "Now sit here, and let them do your hair, Lord knows if we will be able to finish in time, we have to dress you still, and get to the chapel" Edwina gasped horrified "The queen will be there, and if that is not enough pressure already, the whole ton will also be there. No, there will not be enough-"
"Edwina" Kate cut her off laughing "calm yourself" Edwina huffed before nodding
An hour later, the lady's maids were done with my hair, putting the finishing touches, when we heard a knock on the door. We looked at each other confused before Kate went and slightly opened the door
"What are you doing here?!" Kate exclaimed "You cannot see her before the wedding, it is bad luck"
"Oh come on, I heard" Anthony huff, I stood up and walked closer to the door, still wearing my chemise "What wrong could happen? Just let me see her for a moment"
"No, now go, we still have a lot to do" Kate denied closing the door
"Kate, it is fine" I assured her, waving her off "Let me talk to him" Kate pursued her lips, nodding
"Just do not let him see you"
"Hey" I murmured once i opened the door slightly, enough for me to see his figure
"Hey" I could hear the smile in his voice "How are you feeling?"
"Nervous" I chuckle sheepishly
"Yes, I imagine so" he laughed "I am too, but it goes away when I remember that I will marry the woman I love wholeheartedly" I smile resting my forehead against the door, still hiding behind it
"I actually came to give you something, on behalf of my mother, she said she was going to give you it, and obviously, I could not pass the opportunity to see you, or well, hear you since I am not allowed too" Anthony teased as I laughed "Give me your hand"
I put my hand out between the free space of the door towards him, I felt him grab my hand, caressing it gently before putting something on my palm.
"It was my mother's, she wore it on her wedding with my father, and thought it would look good with your wedding dress. Said it was a tradition to give it to the bride to be of the first born. My grandma gave it to her, and now she is passing it down to you" I brought my hand back inside and saw the most beautiful necklace ever "Not sure why a necklace is so important for the wedding but, oh well, women stuff I guess" he chuckled
"It is beautiful" i said in awe
"And it will be even more beautiful on you. Now I will go, I can feel your family's annoyance through the door" i turn back to face my family to see them waiting impatiently, and true enough, annoyance shown on their faces making me laugh
"Alright" I hummed as i turned back around still concentrated on the necklace
He stood silent, I was even convinced he was already gone before he spoke up "I love you." I bit my lip smiling
