What Can I Say?

Ch. 11: Back in the Big Apple

After the most perfect bachelorette weekend ever, we returned to the hustle and bustle of New York City, I do love this place.
It's so crazy that we are getting married...TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! I know everybody says this, but I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

Today is the day of our rehearsal dinner and I couldnt be more excited! At about three thirty we are headed over to Saint Patricks Cathedral for our rehearsal dinner. Me and Claire are currently getting ready at her place with Anthony. The girls are at our suite at The Waldorf Astoria that we booked for tonight and tomorrow to get ready in. They are getting settled in and then will meet us the St. Patricks.

Niall and I are both Catholic so deciding on a ceremony venue was not difficult at all. Also considering he's Irish, St. Patrick's just seemed like the obvious choice. We went to go look at it when we got back from Greece and we both fell head over heels in love with it. Also taking into account our humongous guest list we wont have to worry about not having enough space for our guests. That worry only was left for the reception space, I had always loved the Waldorf Astoria and it was somewhat of a dream of mine to get married there ever since I was about ten years old and my aunt got married there. So I immediately suggested it to Niall and he said we could go look at it.

Like St. Patricks, we immediately knew it was perfect, and we loved the fact our family and friends could stay at the same place as our reception venue. Also the wedding party will get ready there.

"Hey Em?" Claire called
"Yeah?"
"I just finished my hair and makeup, come here so I can do yours!"

"So how are you feeling?!" Claire asked in a sing-song way
"Like I'm gonna throw up"
"Well that's a good sign" We both laughed.

"But seriously, what're you thinking?" she asked me.
"Like this isn't my life, I mean who would've thought that a random girl like me would wind up married to a boy band member, I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I know that's so cliché but it's the truth! Also I just can't believe I am getting married, that's seriously so crazy to think about."

"I know!! You have no idea how weird it is that you're getting married, haha honestly it's probably more weird for me than it is you. We've known each other our whole lives and now here we are getting ready for your rehearsal dinner in New York City of all places! I am going to cry so hard tomorrow!" We both laughed thinking about Claire's crying face.

"I will too! And then I'll probably laugh when I see you crying at the end of the aisle."
"Ladies!!!" we heard the familiar voice of Anthony calling from the other room. "In here Anthony!"

"Emily, you look stunning honey!" Anthony said.
"Thank you Anthony, you are seriously the best! I couldn't have done any of this without either of you! I seriously love you guys and appreciate you more than you know" I said and embraced them both in a hug

"Only for you honey!" Anthony said
"Aw Claire don't cry! You're going to make me cry!" I said trying to keep my tears in

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that I am so happy for you and Niall and I love you both so much and you guys totally deserve this and I just can't believe my best friend is getting married!!"

We both hugged for a long time while both crying then Anthony interrupted
"Girls as sweet as this is we need to get going! Emily I just picked up you & Claire's dresses so you guys need to get ready so dry your tears and lets get going!"

Man it was a good thing we left when we did, it took fifteen minutes just to get out of the car so security could clear the hoards of fans and paparazzi.
