Zollie - A forbidden love

Chapter 49 - Wedding Day Dreams

This is just a bit of a filler for the next chapter, which will be the wedding, but it's turned out quite long, so I hope you enjoy it! X

Zosia's POV
The sun streams through the windows as I slowly open my eyes to see my 6 bridesmaids sprawled over several beds, all of them flat out. We went to the hotel late last night so that we wouldn't be in a rush to get here in the morning, and everyone except me and Cara got a little too drunk. I look over into the cot next to me and see Penny staring happily into space.

"Good morning darling," I coo, lifting her up, "You're up early, aren't you? Shall we get you some breakfast?" I smile as I fill up a bottle for her. I give it to her, and then open the blinds to try and wake everyone else up, before I get my phone out to see a text from Dom.

Happy wedding morning Zosh! I can't believe this day has actually come; I'm so excited! I'll be up to see you in a couple of hours, and I'll get Penny then. And remember, I love you Marchie, soon to be Valentine! -Dom X

I smile at the text as my I start to well up. Dom says that I'm emotionless half the time, but he always knows how to get me.

"8:30 in the morning and you're already crying? This is going to be a long day." Colette laughs as she sits up. "Oh, gosh, how much did I drink last night?" She asks, holding her head.

"Not as much as them!" I laugh as everyone else starts to stir. Cara gets up first, and heads to the bathroom, being the only one that isn't hungover, and then the others slowly get up.

"Aspirin." I say, throwing a couple packets onto the beds. "And I'll make some coffee; I don't want you all looking half dead on my wedding photo's." I joke.

"What time are we leaving?" Mo asks.

"10:00."

"That gives us an hour and a half to turn you into the bride of Ollie's dreams," Cara says, coming back into the room. I'll do hair and makeup first, and then there'll need to be some teamwork to get you into your dress."

"Wow Cara, who knew you were so bossy? How does Raf cope with it?" Jasmine jokes.

"Oh I knew, trust me; I used to live with her!" Morven laughs, "Don't leave the cereal on the side, mugs have to go handle on the left, magazines need to be in alphabetical order- Raf didn't know what he was letting himself in for when you moved in."

"Okay, okay, so maybe I'm a bit picky, but you're one of my best friends Zosia, and I want today to be perfect for you." She smiles.

"And it will be." I say, "I'm marrying the man of my dreams, with all my friends around me- what more could I ask for?"

Everyone smiles, and then head into separate rooms to get changed while Cara does my hair and makeup.

She takes about an hour, and by then everyone is back in the room changed and ready to help.

"Ta dah!" She smiles as she puts a mirror in front of me. My makeup is subtle; just some simple eye makeup and lipstick, and my hair is loosely curled and pinned up in places.

"What do you think?" She asks nervously.

"I love it." I smile, "Thank you."

"Ah, I'm so glad!" Cara smiles happily, "Now, let's get you into that dress!" She says as she upzips the bag.

Together, they help Zosia put her dress on, and after Jasmine has finished lacing the back up and Jac has put her veil in, they all step back, looking at Zosia.

"Zosia, you look stunning." Mo smiles, "Ollie won't know what's hit him."

"Absolutely beautiful." Jasmine agrees.

"Zosh, you look so grown up." Colette smiles. "I remember when you were little, and you used to-"

"Try on mama's wedding dress." I smile, my eyes filling up as I remember.

"You always said that when you grew up you wanted a wedding like hers, that you wanted to look as beautiful as she did. And you do." She smiles, "Wait, I almost forgot, I've got something for you." She says, getting a box out of her handbag.

"Your mum gave this to me before she died; it was her grandmother's, and it had been passed down the family. She said to keep it until your wedding day, whenever that day would be, and to give it to you then."

Colette fastens a necklace around my neck; it's a silver chain with a small heart locket. I open it, and see a picture of mama on one side, and me on the other.

"Look on the back." Colette says.

"I turn it over, and see some engraving.

"Na zawsze w moim sercu, kocham Cię Zosia" I read. "It means 'Forever in my heart, I love you Zosia." I say, seeing everyone's confused faces.

"That's beautiful Zosh," Colette says, "Your mama would be so proud of you." She smiles, taking my hands.

"Thanks Col." I smile, wiping my tears away as there's a knock on the door. "That'll be Dom," I say, "He's taking Pen for the ceremony." I explain as I open the door.

"Zosia," He gasps, "Zosia, you look amazing." He smiles, pulling me in for a hug. "I'm going to miss you." He says, putting his hands on my shoulders.

"I'll still only be down the road, Dom, nothing's going to change with us; you and Diggers, you're my best friends and nothing will change that, ever." I say giving him another hug. Now, I think your favourite niece wants a cuddle with Uncle Dom." I smile, picking Penny up and putting her into his arms.

"I'll see you soon baby," I smile, kissing her forehead. "Tell Ollie I love him and I can't wait to see him?" I ask Dom.

"Of course." He smiles, "I love you Marchie."

"I love you too Copeland," I say, kissing him cheek, "Now you'd better go before Ollie think's you've abandoned him." I laugh, giving Dom one last hug before he leaves.

"Let's go." I smile, "We've waited long enough for this day; the last thing I want is to be late." I say as everyone gets their things together and we get ready to leave. In less than an hour, I'll be Mrs Valentine, and I can't wait. Let's just hope that everything's going as smoothly on Ollie's side.
