Today is the day. My big day. The day I, Tory Brennan, get married to Benjamin Blue. I'm not going to lie. I'm nervous. The ceremony starts at 4. The present time is 9:37. Which means that I have roughly 6 hours and 23 minutes to get ready.
It's going to be a small wedding. I don't know very many people, but I have my best friend as my maid of honor, Ella. Ben's best man is Shelton. As for Mr. Hiram Stilowiski, he has been a huge part of planning this wedding, along with pretty much everyone else. Well, they try anyways.
Whitney and Ella are going to help me get into my dress and do a little makeup. A couple of days ago we went to get our nails all done; it was fun up until the lady started stabbing at my nails. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but that's what it felt like. I am supposed to meet them in rented hotel room we were using to get ready at noon. The actual ceremony is going to be outside. On the beach I might add. I reached to get my phone to check the whether. My nervousness grew. There was a chance of rain around 3 and went though the next day.
I got up and walked over the bathroom connecting from our bedroom. Yes, Ben and I live together. Yes, Cooper is here, too. Anyways, there's only one sink in there which means we have to share counter space. Usually, I'd have no problem with that except he takes up some of my half. I'll deal with it though. He was already there brushing his teeth. He usually wakes up before me so that was nothing new. I walked up beside him and grabbed my tooth brush and the paste.
He looked over at me, lips covered in paste foam and smiled at me. He's such a dork. A cute one though. I smiled back and started to brush my teeth. He rinsed off and pulled his now longer hair back into a ponytail. His hair has grown a couple of inches in the past 5 years.
"Nervous?" He asked me with a smirk on his face. Smug punk. I spat and rinsed.
"Nope," I lied,"not a bit." He rolled his eyes seeing right through my lie. I gave him a light shove. In return I got a kiss on the cheek.
"Relax Tor." He reassured me and gave another kiss. "What could go wrong?" He asked as he walked out of the room and down the hall.
I took a deep breath. I done more crazier things to worry about than this. I looked back in the mirror with an uneasy grin. "What could go wrong?"
-
Everything.
That's the answer to that question. As soon as I got to the hotel it started pouring down rain. Everyone was at the hotel and the boys went over the Ben's designated room. All of girls went to my designated room. Then, the girls that weren't there to help me to get ready went back down to the lobby. So it was me, Whitney, Ella, and now my aunt Temperance. And so the process of getting dressed began.
First came the makeup. It was almost nothing. Whitney feared the rain would mess it up. I agreed. Then, the dress I picked came out of its bag. It was white, sleeveless, and had a high neck. I went with Whitney, Kit, Hi, Shelton, and Ella for dress shopping. They all tried picking a dress for me, but they didn't have that feeling I was looking for. After the fourteenth dress, I went through the store and started looking. When I came out in it, everyone was speechless and I feared I had made a mistake.
All of a sudden, Whitney and Ella were crying, Kit was on the brink of tears while Hi and Shelton were trying to keep it together. Hi and Shelton got up and hugged me first, then Ella and Whitney, lastly Kit. All of the tears got to me as I started crying as well. It was like the big reveal moment on Say Yes To The Dress.
I knew that was my dress to wear on my day. Ben hasn't seen it yet. Bad luck written all over it if he does. It's already raining so I don't know if that's a sign or not.
