Taylor

I rub my hands down my white sparkly dress , admiring myself in the mirror. Look at me, 24 about to be 25 and married. I never would've imagined this at any point during high school.

I have a fine ass man who loves me no matter what, and a 4 year old son, who admires me just for being his mommy. This has been something I've dreamed of my whole life. So why does it feel like my whole world is about to be torn apart? It can't be cold feet, can't be. Maybe I'm just nervous because every time something gets good in my life, the happiness is ripped from my hands each and every time. My mom, my dad, Travis, Kay, my unborn child that I lost so many years ago. I dab at my eyes just as my tears try to escape the rim of my eyes.

"Girl hurry up and bring your ass out of there before I have to come in there. Don't make me come in there miss ma'am." Alyssa, My coworker and best friend of 2 years says from outside the dressing room.

"Please shut the fuck up honey, I am coming out now, shit!" I say laughing

"Please shut the fuck up honey, I am coming out now, shit!" I say laughing. Alyssa is the definition of a classy hood rat. We met on campus and then we eventually hung out after we ended up on the same shift at work.

I walk out of the dressing room, holding my breath as I wait for her reaction. "Ouuuuuuuuuu!", she gasps, holding her hand over her mouth to keep from getting any louder- which we all know she can.

"I love love loveeeee this one Tay, this is it baby!"

I smile from ear to ear. "You think so?" I asked. I had a feeling this would be the one from the way I was feeling staring at myself in the mirror. All of the other dresses I tried on didn't have any type of effect on me at all.

It was a mermaid type dress, sparkly all the way around, so much that it looked like a shimmery rainbow when the light hits it a certain way. The neck had a choker, the same material as the dress and then there was a V-neck slit going down the front middle part, showing a pretty good amount of cleavage. A feature of the dress that I KNOW my fiancé' will love. The dress hugged my curves so well. I really think this could be the one. I want gasps across the room as I go down that aisle. You can always get married again, but this is my only FIRST and hopefully my ONLY wedding. I have to do it how I've always dreamed of.
