It was 5th of January....10 days before Raymond and Beth's big day.
Both the families were busy preparing for the wedding. There was rush at both residences.

"Hey! Carry those boxes with more care Ace! And you! Why isn't the guest bedroom prepared yet?! I told you we had guests coming today..."

"Beth.... I'm officially scared of mom..." Whispered Ace with a scared expression.

"Same Ace..." Annabeth whispered back.

"WHY ARE YOU TWO NO GOOD SIBLINGS WASTING TIME HERE? GO PREPARE!!!" Scolded Seline from afar.

Annabeth and Jameson were startled. They ran for it.

"And where is that husband of mine?"
Seline asked one of the house help.

"He's hiding in the attic madam."
Replied the lady.

-meanwhile-

"I hope she doesn't find me here-" Daniel thought to himself as he hid in the attic. He heard footsteps.

The attic door opened reveling Seline.

"I'm doomed...." Daniel thought to himself again.

"And what are you doing here?" Seline interrogated.

"(Gulp) H-h-hiding...." He started sweating.

"You better come down in 2 mins and help us all around..."

"Yes ma'am!" He sarcastically saluted and ran down.

Seline let out a giggle.

The Jameson residence was clearly in utter chaos. Everyone was busy preparing for the wedding. And Seline made sure noone slacked off. Afterall, one of her kids was getting married. Ofcourse it had to be perfect.

At the Hill residence, the situation was no different. Except the panic.

Every two minutes Lloyd would be reminded that Annabeth would soon move in with them and he would get emotional. It was a funny sight.

For instance, when Llyod and Adrianna were preparing Annabeth and Raymond's new room.
They were unpacking boxes.

Llyod suddenly started sobbing.

"What happened Llyod...? Why the sobs?" Sighed and asked Adrianna.

"She'll come and live with us... oh that sweet angel...."

Adrianna facepalmed.

"These boys are going to be the death of me...." She thought to herself.

• 10th of January (5 days before the wedding) .... that was the day they had to go shopping.

Adrianna went with Annabeth to buy her wedding gown, meanwhile Seline went with Raymond to buy his suit.

- with Raymond and Seline -

"Aunt Seline -"

"It's mom for you Raymond.." Corrected Seline.

"Mom....which suit do you like...?" He asked.

"Why don't you try all these?"
