Third Person's POV

The day started out as stressful.

Everyone was so persistent and determined to find the right attire for Patricia and Ronald when they join hands in matrimony that it became too much.

It caused a tense dispute between Jackie and Patricia, Jess' slight irritation towards the groom who was utterly concerned for his soon-to-be wife's safety rather than what to wear for his wedding, and Nathan's uncertainty for Kurt Jackson's intentions towards his girlfriend.

The first two were fortunately resolved. However,the last one still seemed to be on the surface of Nathan's mind.

After he encountered Kurt in the store, he had this unexplained itch in his skin. He didn't know what it was but it drove him nuts.

When they purchased the suit, Kristen texted him to meet them at the house since Diana made lunch for everyone and would not serve them yet until they were all present. Ron, Jess and Nathan quickly hopped on the Vespas with the suit in a black bag, and drove off.

As they reached the summer house, the mustang was already parked in the driveway, signalling that the girls were already in the house waiting for them to arrive.

The minute they stepped foot inside the house, Kristen squealed from the living room, running up to Nathan who had a huge smile on his face as she attacked him in a tender embrace.

Nathan's curious thoughts went away for the entire hug but came back when Kristen pulled away to call out the other girls who were in the living room. Patricia gave Ron a greeting kiss as both of them tell each other that they've found the perfect outfit to wear on their special day.

Jackie and Jess, being the only single ones in the group, felt weird being surrounded by loved-up couples so they went into the kitchen to see if lunch was ready. When it was, they called for the pair of couples as they start munching up the lot.

After lunch, they finalized every detail for the wedding due in a couple days.

While Nathan and Kristen helped Diana and the other workers in decorating the backyard for the wedding venue,  Patricia and Ron were talking to Jess about the different paperworks needed in order for their marriage to be real as possible. They were lucky enough that Jess knew someone from the County Clerk's Office back in the States that owed her a favor and made them a marriage license which Jess picked up before going to Rome. The only thing they really need right now was someone to officiate them. (A/N Just pretend marriage licenses work in different countries, this IS fiction after all.) After their talk, they helped with the decorations, Patricia placing things in order and politely telling people what to do as everyone kindly obliged. Jackie, still thinking about her break up, started baking different kinds of pastries in the kitchen. Baking was always her coping mechanism whenever something good or bad happens in her life. She could bake anything. That's why she took the task in baking Patricia and Ron's wedding cake... in secret, of course. She wanted it to be a surprise.

At the end of the day, everyone retired to their rooms, being exhausted from the very long day they had and readied themselves for the next things they were going to do the following day.
