'Do we have anything big this weekend?' I emailed my boss.
'No it's going to be a slow weekend, why do you need some more time off? I can have my wife fill in for you if you need it.' He emailed back.
'I am getting married this weekend and honeymoon probably next week.' I emailed back.
'Cassie! That's huge! Congratulations! Take the rest of this week off and next week! I got it covered! Celebrate your wedding!' He emailed back. I smiled, I'm lucky most jobs wouldn't do this for anybody after giving them time off.
'Are you sure?' I emailed back.
'Absolutely, just email the files you have over to my wife. I called her and told her and she said she's more than happy to cover you and she said congratulations!' He responded.
'Thank you both so much' I replied. I sent the files to her before logging off. I picked up the office phone and called Leilany, Amoura, and Jay and told them all to meet me downstairs in half an hour. I went to take a shower, when I got out I went to the closet and grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a plain tshirt. I wasn't too worried about how I looked. I walked out and Kyla was still reading but she had changed back to her clothes.

"Hey Kyla, are you ready to go shopping?" I asked her. She smiled and nodded.
"Before we go I have a question for you." I said. She looked at me curiously.
"What's up?" She asked.
"So Zeke and I have decided we're going to get married this weekend. I managed to get this week off and next week off. Would you possibly.. want to be my flower girl?" I asked her shyly. She smiled big.
"Yes of course!" She said excited. She ran and hugged me.
"We gotta go dress shopping today then" I said, smiling at her. She took my hand and we walked down the stairs. When we reached the bottom, everyone was waiting and Zari had showed up.
"Zari, what're you doing here?" I asked surprised.
"You're getting married! We're going dress shopping!" She said excited.
"We're aiming for this weekend, I was hoping you guys would be my bridesmaid. Kyla said yes to being my flower girl." I said nervously. They all looked amongst each other and smiled big.
"Absolutely!" They all said in unison. I smiled happily. Meadow and Ava walked in to see what the commotion was about.
"Okay so we're getting married this weekend. I want Ava to do the meals and cake, we can find her some help! I want Meadow and Zari to do most of the planning like book the officiant, find photographer, entertainment, set up gift registry, pick out flowers, work on playlist, set up the venue, set up lighting and sound equipment, etc. my bridesmaids will be in charge of hair, makeup and nails, waxing, threading and such. I'm putting Brecken in charge of getting the wedding rings and marriage license today while we shop dresses." I said excitedly.

"What color schemes? What about your honeymoon?" Meadow asked.
"I want a wedding dress with purple. Purple goes best with black or white. There's a dress shop close by with a bunch of purple wedding dresses, we can start there and then decide whether we want to do black or white." I said.
"Honeymoon?" She asked again.
"I'm not sure about that. I haven't talked to Zeke about that. Anything you need help with come to me or Zeke. We both are taking the week off to get this done so we can get married." I said to meadow. Brecken walked in and hugged me tightly.
"Hey I need your help today!" I said.
"I know dress shopping and such for the wedding and then shopping for Jay and Kyla." He said as he rolled his eyes.
"No no well yes but while we're shopping can you get wedding rings and the marriage license?" I asked.
"Not today but tomorrow yes. I'm on strict orders to stay with you guys all day." He said with a small laugh. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fine but it has to get done tomorrow!" I said firmly.
"Promise" he said smiling. He spotted Jay and he turned towards her.
"Would you be my date to the wedding?" He asked quietly. She blushed lightly and nodded in agreement. The smile that stuck on his face when she agreed pulled at my heart strings.

Zeke walked in and noticed my excitement had made everyone excited.
"I will definitely need help cooking!" Ava said.
"Whatever anybody needs to make this happen, just say the word!" Zeke said sounding just as excited as me. He grabbed my hand pulling me to the side.
"Here's my card for the dresses and all. I also gave Brecken his credit card, I hide it so he doesn't destroy his credit. He wants to buy Jay everything she needs including her dress for the wedding. I've asked him to be my best man." He said quietly. I took a moment to explain to him everyone's new assigned jobs.
"You put this all together pretty fast" he said with an eyebrow raised in curiosity.
"I may have been planning in my head since you asked me." I said blushing lightly.
"What do I need to do?" Zeke asked.
"Honeymoon planning, I have all week off next week. And if you want to pick out rings, Brecken will be going to get them tomorrow along with the marriage license." I said.
"You're on the ball with this, huh?" He asked. I nodded proudly.
"Okay go shopping love, drink mimosas, get lunch. It's only 9:30 so you have all day, just be back by dinner please. I would like sometime alone with you." He said winking. I blushed lightly and nodded. I walked back to the group.
"Is everyone ready?" Brecken asked. We all nodded.
"Good, Zeke ordered a limo for today and it was not cheap" He said laughing. We all walked outside and climbed in the limo. As we headed to the first store for dress shopping. When we entered we were greeted by a staff member.
"Welcome! What can we help you with today?" He asked.

"I'm getting married this weekend. I need a dress!" I said excited.
"Oh honey, you have come to the right place! We can get you in a dress and have it altered by the end of the day!" He said excited.
"I'm hoping for a purple and black or purple and white theme!" I said. He ran and grabbed champagne.
"Okay so I've picked out some of the best dresses I have with purple in them!" He said as he pulled a rack full of dresses out. I began trying them on, I loved most of them but someone always had an 'ehh maybe' response for them. After half an hour and 25 dresses later, I tried on a Backless Spaghetti Lace Applique Plunged Empire Sheath Front Split Beach Dress. It was mostly white with flakes of lilac colored flowers throughout the dresses. I loved it, it wasn't too much purple but it had just enough. When I walked out, everybody's mouth dropped open. Brecken walked in and stopped in his tracks.
"That's the dress" he said quietly.
"I agree 200%" Jay said. Everyone agreed with them. I looked in the mirror, I looked like a queen. I immediately said yes to this dress. The staff measured everything and took the stress to alter it just right and we began shopping for bridesmaids dresses. We found lilac satin, one shoulder, long dresses every one had a split leg. They were all identical. Then we started looking for shoes and accessories. For shoes I picked out a pair of White & Butterfly Decor Stiletto Heeled Sandals. The girls all found White Strappy, Tie Leg Design Sandals. Meadow picked out a Crystal Hair Vine with earrings and necklace to match it. Meadow and Zari picked out simple short lilac dresses with open toe sandals.  Brecken and I walked to the front to pay.
"He's going to cry when he sees you walk down the aisle." He said quietly.
"None sense it's just a dress." I said.
"Cassie you have no idea how beautiful you looked in that dress" he said as we approached the desk. He paid for Jays things and I paid for the rest.
