There I was standing in this mirror doing the final fitting of my wedding dress. I literally couldn't have asked for anything greater than this. Toya definitely nailed every angle of my dress. "Baby listen, I can't wait to see Lil Idris burst into tears when he sees you in this." Nicole said as we all erupted into laughter. Here I thought I was the comedian, she got me beat. "Not Lil Idris." Dom said while we all tried to control ourselves. "But girl if that man doesn't at least tear up when he sees you, we're gonna jump him." D said. "Okay! Blood, sweat, tears, and time went into creating this masterpiece and he better appreciate it." Toya said. "Yesss because she's an artist and sensitive about her shit." Araya said as we all laughed again. "No but on a serious tip, I think he'll love it. I mean you could've came down the aisle in a bathrobe and he'd love you too. But this...baby listen, he'll adore it." Depth said and I nodded. "So are y'all writing your own vows?" Nicole asked me. "Yeah, we did decide to do that." I said as I began to take the dress off and Toya helped me. "Lordt! Now you know C Money gone have the longest, most thought out vows ever. He should've just went on ahead and accepted his calling as a motivational speaker." Aries said. "Now Iris you know you can't bust out with no gangsta shit like 'Bae, you're the Clyde to my Bonnie. Anyone come between us, I'm catching a hommie'." Dom said as we all laughed hard as fuck. Now why do they do me like this?? "Bars!" Araya said and here we go laughing again, we can't ever be serious for too long. "I'm not that bad y'all. Anywho...I mean I have all these artists so I know someone gone write me some dope shit." I said as I stepped out of the dress and put my shorts back on. "That's cheating." Nicole said. "Naw Babe, that's resourceful." Zion said and we continues to laugh. "I'm just saying, she's surrounded by poets, I mean why not?" she added. "Exactly! Y'all know my wording is just far too straight forward for how Chuckie is about to come. I just need someone to convey how I feel for real." I looked around the room and just about everyone nodded in approval about that. "So completely off topic, but whose house did you rent out for this?" Araya asked. I can't even lie, she did just ask the million dollar question for what we're standing in. "Wayment...y'all didn't know this is Toya's house?" Dom asked. "Shut up! Bihhhhh why y'all still at his parents' crib if you got this beauty?" Aries asked. "We just haven't moved everything over yet. I mean I actually like being close with his family, because I never had that growing up. But we do plan on transitioning everything over in the next couple of months." Toya said and I actually felt where she was coming from. "Okay so we having a housewarming or what?" Nicole asked. "Now you know we gotta throw a big soiree for my girl." I said and she smiled. "You know that's what wifey specializes in?" Zion said. "She definitely does, you know who to hit up when you wanna get that planning started." Nic added and I took a mental note of that. "So...let's address the elephant in the room...you getting nervous?" Depth asked me. "Me? Never!" I said and there was a slight laugh in the room. "I actually am a little nervous on the real y'all. Like I've never really been unsure of anything in life, but this. Like how do I know for sure I'm going to be a good wife? I mean I know we've been together all this time, but this is bigger than that. And I just...I just don't know for sure." I said. "Oh my God are those tears in your eyes?" Araya asked me. "Wait...so my girl has feelings?" Aries said as she walked over to me and I tried my hardest not to let that tear drop, but there it was. "Damn bitch, now I'm crying." Nic said as she started to dry her eyes. "Nope! You're not gonna make my mascara run today." Zion said fanning herself. "Girl...you're gonna make a bomb ass wife. Only a person who wants to do and be the best even has these type of worries. You and Charles are literally the blueprint for teamwork and you share a love that can never be broken. Everything was geared to tear y'all apart, but you're hanging in there. Don't even sweat it." Dom said to me. "I've never witnessed a love so pure and unconditional before meeting you two. I never saw that type of cohesive flow between 2 individuals ever. Y'all are built to withstand the test of times. You've already made it through some real difficult moments and look at you now? Each thing has only brought you closer together. Y'all got this!" Depth said. "Aye boss lady listen, any time you miss a step, he's by your side. Every time he's falling off, you pick him up. Y'all are yin and yang. Don't overthink it." Aries said. "Yeah girl, what they said!" Zion said and we went from tears to laughing. And here we go again, not being able to be serious at all. "Thanks y'all." I said as I took a sip of my water and sat down. "And by the way, y'all all soft as shit. everybody crying and shit except me and Dom." Aries said and we laughing again. "And I wasn't crying, I shed a tear. Like Denzel did on Glory." I said in my defense. "Girl fuck you! I saw about 2 more tears." Nicole said as we laughed harder. "Whatever at least we're not afraid to show emotion." Araya said. "Baby, I'm never scared to. But my words express everything, I don't need tears." Aries said. "I'm not afraid either, I have feelings, I just don't be in them." Dom said. I love these batch of fools right here.
