Chapter 19

"I don't know you guys.... I'm not really feeling it." I was wearing the tighest wedding dress know to man, but Cheryl and Veronica seemed to like it.

"No but Betty! It totally accentuates you figure," Veronica told me. I crossed my arms, which I could barely move, and rolled my eyes.

"No." I stared at myself in the mirror. It was one of those mermaid dresses and it fit my hips really snug. I could barely move in it, let alone walk.

"Well, go try on the next one then." Cheryl said, as she was holding JJ in the air. "Who's a good boy?" She started making goofy smiley faces at him.

"Gladly." I mumbled. That was the 13th dress I had tried on today. I was starting to get downhearted about it. So far, none of these dresses screamed BETTY COOPER JONES at me. I went back to the dressing room and shut the door with a sigh. "I wonder how Jughead is faring." I quickly took off the dress so that I could breathe again. Then I checked my phone and, sure enough, Jughead had sent me a text about how awful suit shopping was. I laughed.

"Guess we're both not faring well with the wedding attire today," I texted him back.

"Kinda worried that I'm gonna have to marry you in my birthday suit... with the beanie on of course ;) " Jughead texted back.

"Sexy." I replied. At least we could laugh together at how awful planning a wedding was. And, to be fair, if all we have to do is try on wedding attire, that's not too bad. At least Veronica and Cheryl were planning everything else. Geez. It was only like three weeks away now. Three weeks until I became Mrs. Jughead Jones III. I hurriedly tried on the next dress in the rack, not really paying attention to which one that it was. As soon as I walked out of the dressing room to show the girls, there was a collective gasp.

"What?" I asked.

"Betty, you're gorgeous." Veronica replied.

"Yes! You honestly have to get this dress," Cheryl chimed in. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. Oh. Dang. They were right. The top was a sleeveless, lace sweetheart neckline, and the bottom flowed out from the waistline like a flood of fabric. I twirled around in it and it spun. I paused and did a few model poses, to test out how much that I liked it.

"It's.... perfect." I exclaimed, tears forming in the side of my eyes. I walked over and might have jumped up and down... just a little....I mean.. it was exciting. "Do you think Juggie will like it?"

"Like it?! He'll flipping love it. Like, it'll bring him to tears." Veronica laughed.

"You're literally drop dead gorgeous." Cheryl chimed in. "Look, JJ, isn't Auntie Betty stunning?" She cooed, as she turned JJ around to look at me. "See! The baby likes it too!" Everyone laughed.

"Alright. This is definitely the one. I'm gonna go change and buy it!" I said excitedly, as I hurried off to the dressing room.

After dress shopping, the girls and I went out for lunch. We decided to mix it up and go to a little bistro. It was a cold, snowy day, so we ate inside.

"Alright, so it's three weeks away. How do you feel?" Veronica eagerly asked me, the largest smile written across her face.

"I mean, I'm excited. We're already living together, so it's not entirely new." I shrugged, confused by her question.

"She means the-" Cheryl started, then paused as if she just realized JJ had been in his car seat the entire time. "S-E-X," she spelled out, with a devious look written all over her face. I rolled my eyes.
