MATT's POV
"I'm so bored." Josie groaned, leaning forward on the island as she propped her phone up against something.

"Well." I chuckled. "What do you want me to do about it."

"Give me some ideas." She smiled, resting her chin on her hands.

"You could go on a walk." I suggested, smiling at her.

"It's February in Minnesota Matthew." She giggled. "Not all of us are in Florida right now."

"Oh like I could forget you aren't here." I groaned, rolling my eyes.

"Sorry." She frowned.

"No no no." I sighed. "I just miss you."

"I miss you more Matty." She sighed, picking up the phone again.

"Do you miss me or work more?" I smiled, rolling onto my side.

"Know your limits Matthew." She smiled, giggling as I grinned.

"How's my Smudger boy?" I asked, watching as she walked through our house.

"He's good." Josie grinned. "I honestly think he's tired of playing with me."

"Who could ever be tired of playing with you." I smirked.

"Gross Matty." Josie smiled, setting her phone on the floor as she sat down, Smudge coming to nearly sit on top of her.

"Smudge try not to be so suffocating." I laughed, watching as Josie wrapped her arms around him.

"I love him so much." Josie smiled, looking at me.

"You are so beautiful." I sighed, admiring her features.

"Thank you." She blushed, glancing up at me.

"How's planning going?" I smiled, changing the subject.

"It's so fun." She smiled. "This planner is really amazing."

"Thats good." I smiled, rolling onto my back.

"Sometimes I wish I could have more time to plan the wedding on my own." She admitted, sitting at our kitchen table.

"I know Jos." I sighed, thinking about her mom. We're having the wedding in July, praying Celine will be there. At times it feels rushed, but I know we're making the right choice. I love this girl, and I would do anything to make sure she has her dream wedding.

"But everything is finalized for the trip to Miami." She smiled.

"Oh god." I groaned. "Try not to go to crazy."

"Matt." She giggled. "It's a weekend in Miami with some of my friends and my sisters."

"Do you know who you're going to have as your bridesmaids?" I asked, watching as she thought.

"I have my for sure's and my maybes." She sighed. "I think I need to know how many you're having."

"Well." I sighed. "Both of my brothers, for sure. Probably your brothers. So thats four. Then I was thinking Pat since we've been friends for forever. Thats what I was thinking."

"Ok so five?" Josie asked. "I'm definitely having my sisters and my sister-in-laws. So thats four. And Mara, obviously, so that's five on my end. But I want to have Zoe as my maid of honor."

"I was planning on having Pat as the best man." I spoke.

"I was also thinking I would like to have Lily in my bridal party." Josie sighed, writing something on paper.

"Oh, well in that case I'll have Trevor and Carter." I smiled. "That makes seven and seven."

"Thats perfect." She grinned, her face lighting up as her plans came together.
