*Ali's pov*

I couldnt ask for things to be any better we found a beautiful house 6 bedrooms and a room that could be turned into a bedroom if we chose to..and 4 bathrooms...and a complete finished basement...not to mention a huge backyard....I was excited...and getting to plan a real wedding...Kathy and Stephanie were just as excited...as were Naomi, Jada, Tamina and Brie...I now had 5 months to plan my dream and the girls kept me swamped with different ideas...except Tamina bless her she kept me sane in all this...I sat flipping through yet another magazine Naomi brought "Okay hold on a second...what about an outdoor wedding....it will be summer..."

Naomi smiled "Have you thought about going back to Hawaii...I mean traditional wise it would be great..."

I bit my bottom lip "I don't know no good memories in Hawaii...maybe Florida...maybe here in Stanford...I don't know..."

She nodded "Talk to Roman...let me know and I'll set it up."

I nodded "I will..."

Taryn walked in "Hey umm Ali are you busy?"

I walked around seeing Adeline.."Oh what's wrong?"

She just shook her head "I've never dealt with sick kids before I don't know what to do.."

I kneeled down feeling her forehead "Only a slight fever...take her home give her chicken soup...princess is her favorite and orange juice...Tylenol is in the cabinet by the sink I do believe...you're doing fine Taryn...trust me I've been there...you'll get the hang of it.."

Taryn sighed "I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to call Dean and let him think I couldn't handle his daughter."

I smiled softly "It's okay...my lips applet really sealed...you need anything call.."

She picked Addy up "Thanks Ali.."

I nodded "You're welcome...now get her home."

Taryn nodded and left..

Some time later the guys walked in on lunch..I smiled as a kiss was pressed to my cheek "Mmm hello to you too.."

Roman smiled "I like this dress."

I rolled my eyes I had on a dark plum wrap dress that hugged my curves "I'm sure you do.."

His fingertips dug into my hips slightly "I do.."

I smiled softly "So according to Naomi we need to figure out where we want to do this...here, Hawaii, or Florida..."

Roman sighed "Well I actually talked to your dad...he showed me this park your mom loved...it's beautiful..."

I turned facing him "So here?"

He nodded "Yeah...and we're doing the whole honeymoon thing I already talked to my parents they're gonna keep the kids."

I nodded with a smile "Okay well we got that handled.."

Roman nodded "We'll talk more tonight..."

I nodded "Madi is going withe Stephanie, Liam is going to Brie's to spend the night with Caleb, and Kellan is spending the night with Tyler.."

He nodded "Kidless...I like the sound of that.."

I smiled "I'll see you when you get home..."

Roman leaned down pressing a light kiss to my lips then walked out

I smiled to myself..."Well ladies what do you say we close early and do some dress shopping?"

Naomi raised an eyebrow "Shouldn't we pick a venue first?"

I smiled "Roman has it under control."

She smiled "Then let's go shopping.."

I smiled...after closing up we all headed out...I stood looking at dresses...I looked at Jada "I want strapless and flowy but simple and elegant..."

Jada nodded and ran around pulling out different dresses "Go try these on...Naomi and Brie are pulling out bridesmaids dresses.."

I nodded and went to the dressing room and began trying on dresses after 4 dresses I found the perfect one it was strapless and very fitted across the chest with lace detailing...it was elegant and flowy...I walked out "Well?"

Brie gasped "Oh my god Ali!!!"

I smiled softly "This is it ladies...this is the dress.."

Naomi smiled "You look gorgeous Al.."

I smiled "Yep this is the one."

The manager of the shop smiled "Well I'll ring it up.."

I changed back into my clothes and began the search of bridesmaids dresses...we settled on these gorgeous halter tea length dresses in a gorgeous blue...when it was all done I arranged for then to be sent to my parents even texting Stephanie to let her know...when I got home I showered and dressed in yoga shorts and a tshirt and decided to make sea food mac and cheese my personal favorite and has become one of Roman's...I smiled as I heard the door open "Wash up dinner will be ready soon.."

Roman grumbled "Okay.."

I shrugged it off and finished washing the dishes...by the time he came back downstairs I was pulling dinner out of the oven..I looked up as I sat the pan on the counter seeing my husband's face "Jesus Roman what happened?"

He shook his head "Came to blows with the new guy...Harris...."

I grabbed an ice pack out of the fridge the counter placing it to his cheek "Care to tell me why?"

Roman sighed "He seen pictures of you....we all have them on our lockers...our wives, kids, girlfriends...well mine is from when we went down to Florida it's of you and the kids on the beach he made some crude fucking comments I lost it...we took it to the ring.."

I nodded "Least it was there.."

He placed his hand on my lower back "He apologize if that means anything....told him next time the nice fuckable body he was referring to would be the one kicking his ass.."

I had to laugh "That's what he said?"

Roman nodded "Yeah..stupid I know but you're my wife...I don't take kindly to anyone talking about you like that."

I cupped his cheek "I love you.."

He nodded "I love you..."

I pressed a light kiss to his lips "Now eat.."

Roman chuckled "Alright."

I nodded after eating we took full advantage of our kidless night
