My Sister's Dream [H.S.] Major Editing

Engagement Photos (Not Edited)

Season 5: Episode 1

"So, Harry, It's now Feburary 3rd. We celebrated your birthday. Don't you think it's time to start wedding planning?" I ask him as I lay Darcy down in her crib.

"Yea, we probably should. We have to cake test. We have to get our clothes. We have to get the wedding party outfits. Pick the venue. The food. There's a lot we have to do, I just don't know where to start," he replies as he zips up Enya's pjs.

"We can start with sending out invitations. Which mean we need to take engagement photos," I state. I pick up Michelle from the floor and lay her down for a nap. Harry and I leave the room and shut the door.

"Do you know any good photographers?" he asks. I stop at the top of the steps and think. He looks at me and smiles. "So do you?"

"Yea, the lady who took our family photos," I say pointing at the pictures on the wall. He chuckles and bops my head.

"That was a guy, his name was John," he chuckles. "I can call him up, see if he can do our pictures."

"Great, schedule it for later today if possible. The girls gotta nap, and I gotta clean the house. It's a mess," I say as I head downstairs. He stays upstairs and calls John while I'll start cleaning. I pick up the plates and cups from the living room and take them to the kitchen. I groan at the full sink and empty dishwasher. I open the dishwasher and start loading it.

Harry walks downstairs and starts helping. "John said he's got an opening at 3pm. I told him that would work," he informs as he rinses off a plate.

"Ok, you guys are pigs," I groan as I find a dirty plate from 2 weeks ago on the entertainment center.

"That's offensive," he complains as he fake hurts.

"Really?" I say holding up the plate. He goes from smiling to disgust. I giggle and take it to the sink. I rinse it off and put it in the dishwasher.

2 hours later everything is finally clean. I lay onto the couch and sigh. "I can't believe how dirty you guys are!" I practically yell in disgust.

"I'm hungry," Gabbi complains as she walks down the steps. "The house looks nice." I fake a smile and throw a rag at her.

"Harry and I cleaned this whole entire house. I found plates from 2 weeks ago behind the T.V.! Your very irresponsible, your gonna learn to pick up after yourself!" I shout in rage. She stares at me and doesn't blink. "You think you have it alright. But your wrong! Just cause mom and dad aren't here to boss you around doesnt mean their rules disappear. I'm disapointed in you Gabbi, you can make your own lunch today." She nods and walks to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry Lizzie, I should have known better," she apologizes. I kinda of nod and go back to distressing. Harry walks off upstairs, he's learned to leave a crabby Lizzie alone. I put my head back and close my eyes. Gabbi takes her food upstairs and I'm left alone.

Harry comes down with the girls at 12:45pm. I decide to get up and help feed them. I grab three bananas and peel them. I slice them up and give each a full sliced banana. Harry grabs some squeeze packets and opens 3. He hands them to the girls and we let them eat.

"You all cool?" he asks quietly. I nod and lay my head on his shoulder.

"I'm just tired of her acting like we are her maids. She knows better," I mumble. He strokes out my hair and we watch the girls eat. Gabbi comes down puts here plate in the dishwasher and goes back upstairs.

The girls finish eating and we take them out of their highchairs. I wash of the trays and put them back on the highchairs. Harry takes them upstairs to get changed and I follow.

After they are changed we let them roam around upstairs. I shut the gate at the top of the steps and shut the bathroom door. I head to mine and Harry's room and change into clothes for the pictures. I choose to wear a dark purple sweater, dark blue jeans, and brown Uggs. My dad used to say Uggs stand for ugly. I curl my hair into lose curls and pin back some. I wrap a pink scarf around my neck. I grab some wool mittens for Harry and I. I head downstairs while Harry finishes getting dressed. He comes down a few minutes later wearing drak blue jeans and a purple long sleeve shirt. He remembered the wedding colors. Purple and pink.

"Aww you remembered," I say kindly.

"Always do," he replies kissing me. "Gabbi's gonna watch the girls, we should go while we can." I grab my black pea coat and he grabs his black coat. We get into his car and head to the photographers office.

We reach there at 1:30pm, we are 1 and half hours early. "Let's go get some lunch, I haven't eaten yet," I suggest. He agrees and we go to Panera Bread.

(never been to Panera Bread. So skipping details)

After lunch we head back to the office and reach there at 2:45pm. We go inside and wait in the chairs. John comes out at 3 and greets us. "Hey guys, I was wondering when you were gonna come for engagement photos," he greets then hugs both of us. "Where are we taking the pictures?"

"At the lake with the bridge. Do you have some chalk boards?" I inform and ask. He nods and grabs them from the back. We all get in the company van and I direct him to the lake. We get out and look around. "Over there," I say pointing to the bridge. We head over there and start setting up.

"Ok first photo idea. We use those chalk boarda. Right on one Save the date. On the other we write the date, 5/10/2016," Harry says as he writes on the chalk boards. "We will hold them up and kiss. Cause I enjoy kissing Lizzie," he finishes with a smirk. I agree and we set up.

(the book started in 2013, and its been 2 years since the beginning)

He holds board 1 I hold board 2. We kiss and John snaps the picture. Well actually 5.

"Alright, what next?" John asks as he looks through the photos.

"My idea, since the snow is new and fluffy. We pick it up and blow it at the camera. I brought our wool mittens for a reason," I say handing Harry his. John nods and we scoop up some snow. John gives us a thumbs up and we blow it at the camera.

"Now at each other!" Harry suggests. We scoop up more snow and turn to each other. John gives us a thumbs up and we blow the snow. I laugh and drop the rest of the snow.

"Alright, that's enough pictures. I'll make the cards and mail them out for you. You do have a list of the guests and addresses, right?" John asks worried. I pull a list from my pocket and give it to him.

"We invited about 1,500 people, and some fans. We had a contest. The fans don't know they won yet. They will when they get the save the date pictures," Harry says pointing at the fans names. John nods and we pack up.

He drives back to his office. We pay the bill thank him and leave.

Alright! Wedding planning has started. Which means only a bit till the wedding.
