I wake up to the sound of the alarm going off at 6:30 in the morning. I grown at the slight pounding in my head and force myself to sit up.

My bachelorette party last night was crazy amazing! Mia, Naomi and Bianca had put together the most insane lingerie themed party that will remain in my head forever.

The bed I'm sleeping in is currently occupied with three of my best friends.

Mia, Sasha and Tamina.

Nia sleeps in the reclining chair by the window, while the others slept in the living room or one of the two guest bedrooms.

We rented out a beautiful Villa that's thirty minutes away from the wedding venue and the men are close by as well.

I slowly get out of bed and as quietly as possible, shower and do the rest of my hygiene for today. Instead of immediately waking the ladies up, I open the sliding glass door in the bedroom and step out onto the patio.

I close my eyes, as I deeply breathe in the warm morning air. Slowly, my eyes open to the rising sun and the cotton candy colored sky that greets me.

"I'm getting married today." I whisper to myself and suddenly I'm filled with giddiness and glee.

I'm so excited!

I wake the girls up at eight, since the chef comes at nine. They all get ready for the day and I tidy up the place.

Glitter and streamers litter the floor, so I grab a broom and get to sweeping. Thankfully, it's not that dirty since we're all adults. The place was spotless before the chef came and we lounged around, until breakfast was ready.

"I can't believe this day is finally here. You're getting married, Niyah!" Sasha says.

I smile, as I sit in an outdoor recliner.

"Imagine how I feel."

"I bet you're having an out of body experience."

"It really hasn't sank in yet." I say, as I stare out at the nature that surrounds our Villa.

"Well, I'm so happy for you." Sasha smiles.

"Thanks, babes. Now, tell me about Japan. How is it out there?" I ask, excitedly.

"Ooh, it's amazing! You'll love it." Me and Sasha talk about her time in Japan.

The rest of the girls join in on the conversation and ask a bunch of questions. We all make plans to go to Japan one day and share our dream locations to travel to.

After breakfast, we head to the wedding venue and so many cars are already here! We head in through the back and my makeup artist, Monica is ready to beat my face.

I made sure to hire makeup artists that have worked on black skin before and know how to beautify every person of color.

Since all my friends are women of different shades, I want their makeup to be flawless. So, the makeup artists have to be experienced doing people of color's skin.

"Alright ladies, you ready for a spectacular beat?"

"For sure!" Naomi smiles.

"Honestly, I'm always ready to be made up for whatever occasion." Mia says.

"Alright, let's get ready." I clap my hands and we all head to a chair to get our makeup done.
