An inside wedding, five bridesmaids: Rebbie, Latoya, Janet and some good friends I had grown up with--Talia and Kiara. Five groomsmen: Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Randy. A maid of honor, Katherine, and so on.... Everything was picture perfect, I could see the whole thing.
Our food and wine tasting took briefly after the wedding was planned. I remember having so much wine pushed in front of me I just drank them.
The cake design was absolutley amazing! A five-layer-chocolate-vanilla-cake covered with white fondant. And while he was gone I asked the woman creating a cake to model a photo of us back in 1979 that I kept. Fair enough she did it...costing extra money.
Soon after we had finished our complete idea for the Reception, Michael at the last moment said, " Something's missing-- We need to  have silouhettes of peter pan and wendy on the ceiling at the reception. "

part 57: " What about this one?" We were at the dress shop--Michael, Latoya Katherine my aunt and I...and I had found my reception dress but was dead-minded for my wedding dress. It was a tie between two dreses, three before Latoya commented the dress was, "showin too much."
Anyways, I was in the dressing room looking at the dress at the mirror, then I looked over to the dress that was hung up next to the mirror. Decisions are the worst.

There was a knock on my door. I thought it would be Katherine or my aunt. " Come in," I sighed.
It was Michael, guess he was checking on me since I'd been
in the dressing room for about ten minutes.
" Tough decision."
" Yeah...." " You look great in both of them," he said, looking at me on the mirror.
" Thank you, I just dont know..."
" I like this one," he looked at the dress I was wearing, and he felt it. his hand going up and down, " Its got beautiful material."
" The other one's silk," I said.
" You love lace," he smiled.
" You have a point there," I thought deeply about it. " Okay, tell everyone outside that I'll be out in a few minutes with a dress."
Time was ticking, months were passing yet thing were getting done so quickly.
There was a shower, which my good friend Talia had hosted for me and an engagement party, which was on New Years Eve (new years kiss!).
A new chapter of my life was awaiting. No matter what ups and downs, I knew that he loved me and our love wasnt fake, it was true.
