The First One...

Chapter 26

It was Saturday, week passed by so quickly. Ben was very busy in work and so was I. Still he was very attentive towards me. We had lunch together everyday in office. Last evening he took me for another date and i stayed at his home last night. We both were happy together and i was falling in love with him more and more the every time we were together. I was happy..truely happy.

Ben dropped me home and had gone out with Jim. They have planned something which was their secret. We girls are going to Emily's boutique today. I called her yesterday and confirmed our visit. She assured us she will personally help us there. We all were excited as we drove to the address Emily had messaged us.

We arrived at the boutique. It looked so classy from outside. I looked at Sops. She seemed excited. We all went inside and was greeted by the manager.

"Hi..Good Morning. I am Hannah, the manager here. I guess you must be here for Emily?" she asked us.

We all nodded.

"Please follow me." she said and we went with her. We saw the boutique was huge. It had several rooms and closets with many dresses and even men's wear. I noticed there were also elegant jewellery section and various other related sections. Hannah escorted us to a room which was beautifully designed with big mirrors and wedding dresses were placed on a side. I gasped at the view. It looked so good. Even Ana and Sophie looked excited. There was a sofa, some chairs and a table.

"Please have a seat. I'll send coffee for you all." Hannah said and went out.

"Sammy..this place is awesome!!" Sophie said. I nodded looking around.

"Hi girls!!.." we saw Emily entering through the door.

We all stood up and greeted her.

"So nice to meet you again Sammy and Ana..umm..you must be Sophie..right? The bride.." she asked looking at Sops.

"Yes..Thank you for arranging this Emily. It's really nice of you and Ben." Sops said.

"Ohh..it's nothing. So..i have heard you all stay together? That would be so much fun right?..I stay with my parents, so i haven't experienced such living."

"It's okay Emily. You can drop by any time at our place." i suggested her.

"Really?..." she asked beaming.

"Yeah..why not. We can have a girls day." Ana said smiling at her.

"Great..we will plan something soon." she said grinning.

We all nodded. Hannah arrived with few other girls who were holding coffee cups for all of us.

"Okay..let's start..i had already shortlisted some of the wedding gowns for Sophie. I think they should fit her."

She went towards a wall where multiple bridal white gowns were placed.

"Sophie? Are you ready for trial?" she asked looking at her. Sops nodded and went towards her.

She tried many dresses. They all were so beautiful. Finally she decided on one. It was a mermaid style dress with one side netted sleeve. It was so beautifully designed. We gave her a thumbs up.

We then finalised bridesmaid dresses. I was the first as she is my best friend and sister. So, they picked up a violet coloured one shoulder long dress with a long cut on the leg side for me. While other bridesmaid dresses were almost same as mine just knee length. We picked up jewellery too in the same shop. I was surprised that everything was as we wanted. We were done by late afternoon. Emily suggested to have lunch with us. We were packing up and i went out to the other section. I was passing by and saw a beautiful long white wedding dress in a room beside us. I went inside and saw. It was so beautiful. I looked at it in awe. It was a Bridal Gown with pearls and diamonds studded design on the waist. It was sleeveless.
