I'm so excited, well; we're both excited--Lehi and I--as we plan our wedding together. I met his grandmother, who was so cheerful as her grandson. She was very happy to finally meet the woman in Lehi's dreams. Our visit was short, but I felt happy with happy and satisfied. Lehi seems happy too. We're meeting his mother to help with the wedding gown's design. She said she knows someone who's really great at designing clothes. She says that he's still in college, but he's really talented. Gaspard's in a meeting, so his mother told us that he won't be coming home soon to interrupt us. Everyone decided to keep it a secret from Lehi's father until the wedding day; fearing that he'll do everything to stop it.. Aunt Alaura together with her husband is in charge with the decorations. Lehi wanted to make our own vows at first 'til we both decided to stick with it, and we'll just change the "Till death do us part" line. It won't be like Twilight's don't worry. That's they're thing, we have ours. It'll be the same as all the other Immortalis use whenever they're sealed to their husband/wife forever.

"Hi dear!" Lisa beamed at me after encircling me in an embrace. "Let's go out back and talk about what the two of you will wear on your wedding day. I'm so excited!"

Lehi rolled his eyes at his mother's back and I couldn't help but grin. He's such a boy sometimes. We held each other's hands as we walked side by side after his mother. She walked towards the small cottage and I squeezed Lehi's hand in delight. I feel excited; because this is the first time I'll be invited inside the cute cottage. Lisa seemed excited to show her sanctuary. Lehi squeezed my hand softly as Lisa opened the door for us. I gasped and smiled as we entered the cottage. It gives you a warm feeling once you step inside. The walls are painted Shamrock green, with white fern patterns. There's a woven couch with handmade pillow cases on the pillows. There's a small bookshelf with books that looks like they came with sentimental value. There's also a cobblestone fireplace and a mint green carpet.

"It's so pretty in here." I smiled at Lisa.

"It is," Lisa smiled back as she pulled me beside her "this is my safe haven. Where I go when I need to clear my mind off things. Lehi's been here before he went away to escape his father." I looked at Lehi and he shrugged.

"Well, it was the most perfect decision I've ever made." he sat beside me as Lisa took a sketchbook "Brought me to you." he pressed the back of my hand against his lips, and it sent currents through my veins. I looked at the sketchbook Lisa is holding, and it has an "N.S." I wonder what that stands for. Maybe that's the designer's initials. There were a lot of designs, all of them are beautiful. Lisa seemed to be absorbed in looking for something, when she found a bookmark with a Superman's "S". Hmm...Superman...interesting.

"Okay, so here it is" Lisa showed me the design "this was originally made for his girlfriend, though he added some features for you. You told me you wanted something simple, so this is how it'll look like." I looked at the design and smiled, there are notes on the side with details for the material. I stared at the sketch and smiled, imagining how awesome it would look like. Awesome--I'm beginning to sound a lot like Lehi as more days pass by. Lehi was about to take a peek at how it would look like, when his mother flicked his forehead. I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction from what Lisa did.

"What was that for?" Lehi groaned, he stopped rubbing forehead; I noticed how red it got and adored how strong Lisa's finger is. I giggled.

"You're not allowed to see the design!" Lisa widened her eyes at her son "It'll ruin that magical moment, where you'll be in so much awe when you see how beautiful it'll be."

"Fine." he pouted.

"And as for you," Lisa turned her attention at me "you'll have to meet with Noah next week, so he can get your size."
