I climbed out of bed after I was able to shake the bad dream from my mind. I got out a dress for Shelby, the top is blue with lace detail, and the bottom is a white tutu, with blue flats. Shelby had already stripped out of her nightgown, waiting for me. I pulled the dress over her small frame, pulling her arms through the little arm holes. I gave her a pair of white, lace socks which she put on herself, as well as her shoes. I let my straightener warm up as I pulled on my silky, blue dress that went down mid thigh. I put on a white necklace and a gold bracelet.

My straightener beeped, meaning it was hot enough. I began straightening Shelby's hair and when I got done, it went down to her mid back. I pulled my hair up in a side, low bun and got out my makeup bag. I did a smokey eye with red lips. I spritzed on a floral smelling perfume and walked down to the kitchen with Shelby behind me.

"Good morning baby girl's, you look so beautiful. Breakfast is on the stove," my mum said, pointing to the plates filled with food. I got a plate of bacon, eggs, and a cheese biscuit.

"What do you want, honey?" I asked Shelby.

"Biscuit and bacon," she said very quietly. I got a small plate out, putting a cheese biscuit and a couple pieces of bacon on it, handing it to Shelby. I took my plate, sitting at the table between Sarah and Shelby.

"Is Luke gone for the day, keeping up the tradition of not seeing the groom until the wedding?" I asked, winking with a smile.

"Actually yes," Sarah said and smiled. I shoveled a fork full of eggs in my mouth.

"Here's some drink," my mum said, sitting a glass of water in front of me and a cup with a lid in front of Shelby.

"Pineapple?" I asked and my mum nodded. I smiled, taking a sip of my water. Shelby ate all of her food pretty quick and went to go sit in front of the telly, watching cartoons.

I ate my last piece of bacon, getting up and putting mine and Shelby's dishes in the sink. I walked outside barefooted, grabbing white and light pink streamers, starting to hang them up. I got out three white lanterns, opening them and hanging them on branches, putting a fake candle in the inside. The tent was already put up earlier during the week, as well as the tables. I got out a few chairs, placing them around the tent. I put a light pink table cloth over the bar at my mums house where there will be drinks tonight. I put white table cloths over the long tables where food and snacks will be at. Once the majority of everything was done, I walked back in to see my mum in the kitchen on the phone.

"Oh yeah, that's fine. I understand, we really want you to come, you're like family and if that's what it takes, then that's okay," my mum said before turning around and seeing me standing there. "Oh, I have to go, I'll see you later today. Okay, bye bye."

"Who was that?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Just Edward," my mum said and I nodded slowly.

"All the decorations are done, all we need is food," I said and handed my mum the phone for her to order the food from a local catering place as I went to my room to put on my black, floral platform heels.

"Ready to do this?" I asked Sarah, holding Shelby in my arms. We were at the courthouse about to walk in. She nodded and opened the doors, walking in slowly with our mum behind us.

"Mrs. Sarah Fair, future Mrs. Hemmings?" a young woman said as we walked in. Sarah nodded her head, following the woman to two, big, double doors.

"I'm about to get married," Sarah said before the doors opened.

I laughed, walking in behind Sarah. She made her way to Luke who was standing in front of an older man, the priest. Luke was dressed up nicely in a suit with his styled nicely, his band mates, Calum, Ashton, and Michael stood to the side of him, also in nice suits. Sarah faced Luke, grabbing his hands with tears in her eyes. The doors shut and the priest began talking about stuff priests talk about at weddings. It came time for Luke to say his vows and Calum handed him a small, simple, but gorgeous ring.
