The Footballer's Best Friend (Erik Durm)

Twenty Three

I stare down at my ring as I walk with Cathy and my mom and some aunts and family  that forced my mom to let them come.

I'm pretty sure I've never met most of these people.

Literally I'm sure I've seen one of these people before and it's only because she's my mom's sister.

"Are you excited?" Cathy asked.

"Yeah, just kind of overwhelmed." I answer honestly.

"You'll be so excited once we get in here." Cathy said.

"Was it easy for you when you were shopping for your dress?" I ask and Cathy gave me a small smile.

"It was the most stressful thing I've ever done." Cathy answered draining all confidence out of me.

"Are you being serious?" I ask and she nods her head slowly.

"One hundred percent honest." She replies and I bite my lip and then look at the crowd behind us.

"This is going to take forever." I whisper and Cathy nods.

"I didn't want to say but I think this will take all day." Cathy whispers back making me sigh.

A few minutes later they arrived at the wedding dress shop so I went to the front of the large crowd and smiled when she seen the assistants.

"Hi, I have an appointment for Lossow." I smile so she looks at her checklist.

"Okay, here you are. Your assistant is Fiona." She smiled and then another tall woman walked over with a huge smile on her face.

"I'm Fiona and I'm your assistant. I'll take your company to the seats and then I'll discuss your dress choices there." She smiled before walking towards the beautiful white couches. They also have to pull over a few more chairs.

"Here have this seat." My mom says as she moves over on the couch for me.

"So Magdalena, what kind of dress do you want?" Fiona asks.

"Well I want something simple. Lace. And a mermaid dress if possible." I answer and she nods.

"I'd prefer her in a princess gown." My mom pipes up and these woman I don't know agree.

"Well we'll pick out a couple of princess gowns and then focus on mermaid dresses." Fiona smiles so I go into the changing room and get into the silky robe that Fiona gave me.

Five minutes later she come back with a pile of dresses in her arms.

"Why don't we try on the two princesses dresses on first." Fiona suggests so I nod and slip out of my robe and then climb into the dress.

It's a corset back dress and when Fiona is lacing up the back I thought I was going to die.

Maybe I'll have to score out corset dresses.

"So how do you feel?" Fiona asked with a beautiful smile.

"I don't like it." I whisper. As I look at the large hoop-skirt dress with large diamonds all over it.

"Really? Do you want to show them?" She asks.

"I'll have to show them me in at least one of these dresses." I say so she nods and moves out of my way so I can attempt to get out the door.

"Do you need help?" Another woman comes to the door.

"Yes please." I let out an exasperated sigh so she takes my hands and pulls me while Fiona pushes me.

Finally I'm out making me let out a big sigh.

"I really hate this dress." I say making them both laugh.
