An Arranged Marriage... Man I'm Going To Make His Life A Living Hell.

An Arranged Marriage... Man I Am Going To Make His Life A Living Hell. 50

It is the day before the BIG DAY and I am freaking out. I didn't want to go through with this and I'm not 100% sure my idea is going to get me out of this but it is the only one I got so I was just going to have to hope.

Right now I was driving with Sheryl, Kelly, Kira and Jessica to go and get wedding dressed and bridesmaid dresses, while Gabriel was in another car getting his tuxes.

"Can't you guys just go and get this stuff and leave me out of it. I know we aren't going to agree on anything anyways so there is no point in brining me," I whined trying anything to get out of this shopping day.

"It is your wedding and you are going to at least pick out your own dress," Sheryl said sternly.

She is going to regret that she said that...

I thought as the car pulled out and we got out in front of a fancy looking dress store. I turned and tried to make a run for it but Kelly caught my wrist dragging me into the store.

"Don't think I didn't know you were going to try that," she laughed.

"Thats it, you are no longer my maid of honor, now you are just a bridesmaid," I pouted.

"Sorry I am not going to let you go, threaten all you want,"

"Fine! Jessica you are now my maid of honor! Kelly has been bumped," I said pulling my hand out of Kelly's grasp and making my way across the store to Jessica. But Sheryl had to ruin my victory.

"There will be no changes made to the wedding plans now," she said stopping that right in its tracks.

"Well there goes the idea of getting a new bride," I said smiling at her.

"Welcome, how may I help you?" One of the stuck up clerks said, glaring at the disturbance I was causing in the store.

"We are here to find a Wedding dress and Bridesmaid Dresses," Sheryl said smiling at her.

"And who is the happy bride?"

"There isn't one, not a happy one at least," I said before Sheryl could get a word in.

"She just has cold feet," Sheryl said glaring at me, it was one of those 'You-better-behave' stares.

"Yeah thats it," I said rolling my eyes and walking up and down the isle looking for something that I might wear.

"Leandra you go into the change room and we will pass you dresses to try on," Sheryl said as she pushed me into the change room.

I must have tried on about twenty dresses and they were all white, frilly and lacy and they just sucked.

"Thats it, I am going to find one," I said stepping out of the change room in another princess looking frilly white dress.

I walked up and down the isle looking for the perfect one. I saw it and quickly took it to the change room not letting anyone see it. I put it on and decided that this was the one that I wanted.

"Yup this is the one I am getting!" I exclaimed coming out of the change room. I loved the shocked look on Sheryl's face.

"That is not a wedding dress, that is more of a prom dress!" she yelled at me.

"You said in the car, and I quote 'It is your wedding and you are going to at least pick out your own dress'. Well this is the one I pick," I said looking smugly at her.

"Bu.... BU... But I....."

"Besides I couldn't possibly wear a white wedding dress, I am not a pure and innocent bride like the white represents, This is more me, and this is the one that I want to walk down the isle in," I said looking at her seriously.

"You are not walking down the isle in that dress, pick out another. I am not going to buy that one," She said crossing her arms in 'that-is-final' manor.

"Fine, but no white puffy frilly things," I said before walking up and down the isles again before I finally did find an appropriate wedding dress.

"Is this one better?" I asked walking out of the change room.

"Yes that one is perfect," She said.

"I still think the other one was way better," I said going back in and changing back into my jeans.

Man I love these jeans...

"Okay now we have to put the others through this torture. And this time what I pick out will be the ones that they wear," I said speaking mostly to Sheryl.

"Fine, just remember your wedding colours are pink, white and light blue," she said leaving me to walk up and down the isles again.

"So do you guys have any ideas on what you want to wear?" I asked.

"I was thinking that Kelly should wear a longer dress because she is the made of honor and then Jessica and I wear shorter dresses of the same colour," Kira said.

"That sounds like a perfect idea," I said, "And I think I love these dresses, what do you think?"

I pointing to three dresses and they squealed and grabbed them taking them to the change rooms.

(Kira on the left, Kelly and then Jessica)

"Oh those look absolutely adorable," Sheryl said when the girls stepped out of the change room.

"Yes they do, good then we are done and I am going home," I said trying to walk out of the store again.

"Not so fast, we have a whole day planned for you," Kelly said laughing at my obvious discomfort.

"I so wish I could kick you out of the Maid of Honor spot. You are just enjoying my pain way to much for my liking," I said crossing my arms and pouting.

They day they had planned for me was to get my hair done, have a mani/pedi, and the whole spa day experience. It was something that I have never done before and I will never do again. I would rather go through four days of agonizing torture in Iraq then have to do that again.

"Rough day?" Kevin asked as I flopped down on the couch beside him.

"Lets just say I hate being a freaking girl, I mean they would never make you go through a spa day because your a guy. I think that that is just sexist," I complained, "Hey where is Gabriel?"

"He has to spend the night at a hotel because it is bad luck to have him stay in the same house as the bride... Something like that," He said.

"Oh Kevin can't you just try kidnapping me again and get me out of this?" I asked using the puppy dog look on him.

"Sorry you and I both know how well that worked out last time," He said laughing at me.

"You guys all suck, its a good think I have my own way out of his mess," I said before storming up to my room and locking the door.
