Best Friend Bucketlist

Chapter Forty

Today is May 21st, exactly one month before my wedding. Today is my final dress fitting. My mom, grandmother, sister, and Michelle are in LA. Tiffany, Sophia, and Katie are heading to Vera Wang in a separate car. We get to Vera Wang and go through the back to keep away from paparazzi. Vera takes me and my girls back and we get in my dress. I let my girls go out first and hear my family's reaction. I walk out, veil, heels and all. I stand in the middle of bridesmaids and my mom starts to cry. My eyes tear up and my grandmother hugs me. My sister sits in shock. Michelle is the first to speak. "Josh is the luckiest man alive. You look absolutely stunning! Thank you for letting me share this moment!" She says. I smile. My mom and grandmother hug me. My sister walks over to Sophia. "These dresses are beautiful!" She says. "Thanks, it's a shame you didn't want to be a bridesmaid." I say. "I didn't want to upstage my little sister at her own wedding!" She says playfully punching my arm. I laugh. The dresses fit us perfectly. I invite everyone back over to my house to talk.

When we get to my house there is a note on the counter. "I went out, ill be home later. I love you! Josh" I smile. We stay in the living room talking about how the holidays went and other things. We talk about my wedding. "You looked so beautiful!" My mom says. "Thank you mom!" I say. "You girls looked beautiful!" Michelle says to my bridesmaids. They smile. Tiffany has to get home to Hunter and Katie is going home to New York. I give her a huge hug before she leaves the house and heads to the airport. My family is staying at a hotel for the night and are leaving tomorrow morning. That leaves Soph and I sitting on my couch. "Soph, I really want you to speak at my wedding reception!" I say. "Oh, that's not necessary." She starts. "No, it is. You are my maid of honor and I really want you to say something!" I say. "Ok, if you insist. But it won't be good!" She says. "Oh please!" I say with a laugh. "How is your wedding planning going?" I ask her. "Great, we are sending out our invites next week." She says. "Fun!" I say. We talk about our weddings. Kellan and Josh come into the living room. "Hey Amanda!" Kellan says hugging me. "Hey Kellan!" I say. We chat before Kellan and Soph leave.

Josh and I sit in the living room watching E! "Paparazzi caught Amanda Black, her family, her bridesmaids, and Josh Hutcherson's mother, Michelle, heading into the back door at Vera Wang. Amanda must have been having a dress fitting for her wedding. Amanda and Josh have still not released when the wedding will be but it must be soon!" "My mom texted me and told me you looked beautiful in your dress." Josh says. "Oh did she?" I say. "Yeah. She said she was very happy that you invited her." He says. "I'm glad she came!" I say laying my head against his chest. We watch TV for a while before we head to bed.

I lie in bed with my head against Josh's chest. "I'm so happy that in one month I'll be able to call you my wife." He says kissing my forehead. I smile. "I love you!" I say. He kisses my cheek, then my nose, then my lips. "I love you too!" He says laying his forehead against mine. He smiles and lies back. "Goodnight beautiful!" He says. I smile. "Goodnight handsome!" I say. I fall asleep thinking about the future. My future. My future with Josh.
