Floating Roses, lilies so pure, Essence and candles of Passion unknown Doves and Swan's symbols of Love This day I marry him, I marry the one I love -Chaina


"Will you keep still?" I fussed, "I'm trying Kay K but I'm so excited!" my sister gushed. I rolled my eyes at her as she brandished Bags from her bachelorette party last night and a smile that could supply a thousand light bulbs and to think just two days ago she needed my advice, my help. "I can't finish your makeup if you don't keep still!" I was getting frustrated!

Today was 'The Day' and it was a whirlwind of craziness, I never saw Demetri for the majority of the night and when I got up he was already up too. I never got to talk to him about what happened yesterday as I believe I should so I'll try before the wedding, I haven't seen a Sunday so busy since I was a child.

"There all done! Time for your dress!" I watched as Lacy jumped with excitement and ran for her dress. "Can you help me, Kay?", I helped her, delicately sliding her into it while Patience handed me the vail. She looked breathtaking in the dress; a beautiful lace bodes of intricate designs that flowed all the way down into her trail.

"Oh my god!" We turned to see Mom at the door sobbing in adoration. "My beautiful baby, I wish your father was here to see you" she sobbed some more. I needed to find Demetri, "I need a minute, I'll be right back" and on that same breath I left the room down the hall to find him before the proceedings, I decided to head to our room because he was supposed to be getting ready. "Hey!" I said, he looked so delicious in his tux standing before the mirror In the bedroom. "I believe this is yours" With an outstretched arm I held out an envelope, he looked at me then took it in curiosity, I watched as he peaked at the contents then looked at me with the blankest stare ever "What is this?" he asked. "It's for yesterday! Business is business". I  don't know what it is but there was an awkward one-minute pause then he spoke, "Ye you're right, business is business!" In the most solemn tone I have ever heard, he kept the gaze for a couple more seconds then headed for the door but not before throwing down the envelope on the dining table "Did I do something wrong?" my question stopped him in his tracks "No Nastacijah you didn't" Then he left.

"Wow! Kay K! Are you sure I'm the one getting married?" I stood before the mirror in awe. The dress Lacy and Mom picked out was gorgeous, full royal blue sheer satin empire waist off the shoulder, floor length with lace fittings I felt delicate. "Ladies two minutes" a voice echoed behind the door, I turned to Lacy and asked with a smile "Are you ready?".

I didn't know what to expect from the rest of the evening but Demetri was acting strange and my baby sister was about to walk down the aisle to say 'I Do' to the man she loved.
