I'm gonna skip a week. So less than two weeks until the wedding. Hope y'all enjoy :)
"Hi Nate", I said, opening the front door. "Hi Grace. How's DeShaun?", "He's good. I'm so glad you could babysit for us". "No problem", Nate flashed a smile. "Well, come inside", I said, moving out the door way. "Thanks", Nate said, stepping inside.
Marshall ran down the stairs, "Sup bro". "Sup". "Thanks for coming Nate". "No worries". "Babe, I'm going to buy my suit. The girls have money on their cards, buy their dresses, shoes and go to a wedding dress maker, thingy". "Okay, see you later", I gave Marshall a kiss. Marshall grabbed his keys and wallet and ran out the door.
I looked over at Nate, he shrugged. "Girls, are you nearly ready?". "Nearly!", "Hold on!", "One minute!", were their responses. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
I had been working out, trying to lose some weight. I had successfully lost 10 kgs. I was wearing my clothes before I got pregnant., they were a little tight, but not to much. Today I was wearing a pair of black tights, a grey top and a black hoodie.
All the girls ran into the kitchen. "Ready!", Whit said, smiling. "Okay. Bye Nate". "Bye. See you later". "Bye uncle Nate", all the girls said. "Bye". "Come on girls", "Okay". Whit took my hand and I led all the girls outside.
"So. Where to first?", Laney asked, while we walked down the driveway. "Um. Girls, should we get your dresses and shoes first? Or, get my dress designed?". "Lets get our stuff first", Hailie said. "Okay then."
"Where should we go for your dresses?", I asked. "How 'bout Pagani?", Laney asked. "Yeah. I like their dresses", Whit said. "Same". "That's settled. We're going to Pagani". "Yay", Whitney said. God, Whit's so cute. Hailie and Laney are so pretty. I can't wait to see them at the wedding, they're gonna look better than me!
We had finally arrived at Pagani. "I like this", "I like this". The girls were all holding up dresses. "They're all pretty, but remember you guys are all gonna wear the same dress". "That's right", Hailie said.
"Tell you what. How 'bout you guys all find one dress each. You all try the same dress on. Whatever one I like best, we'll get that dress. Alright?". "Yes". The girls all raced to dresses. It was actually quite amusing, watching them all choose one dress.
All girls now had one dress. I was sitting on a chair, in the changing rooms. "Nearly done?", "Nearly", they all answered. They gotta stop doing that, but it's cute.
Whit was the first one done, "What'cha think?", she asked, striking a pose. "Beautiful Whit". Whit had a purple dress it was a spagitti strap dress and it ended above her knees. Laney was the next one finished, "So?", Laney asked. "Very pretty". Laney had a red dress, it was a halter top and ended a bit over her lower thigh. Hailie was the last one out of the dressing room, "What about this one?". "Beautiful". Hailie had a light blue one shoulder dress. It was tight on the top half, but flowed at the bottom, it ended above her knees.
"Hm. I think I like Whit's dress the best. Can you all try on a dress like Whit's. Then you guys can try a dress like Hailie's. Then a dress like Laney's. Okay?". "Yep". They all changed back into their own clothes. Then they all went off to find each others dresses. I sat there watching them, they looked like they were having fun. I was. It was fun to hang out with them.
They all returned with three dresses. They all went back into a changing room. "What one do we try on first?", Hailie asked, from inside her changing room. "Try on Whit's". "Okay".
A few minutes later they all came out the changing room. "Oh. My. God", I said. They all looked beautiful. "What? Is something wrong?", "You guys look so beautiful".
I pulled out my phone. "I'm gonna take a picture of you guys". "Okay". "Pose". They all posed and I took a picture. "Let me see", Whit said, jumping onto the chair next to me. We all looked at the photo. They all looked so pretty. "I like those dresses on you guys. Now, try on Hailie's dress". "Okay".
They all went back into the changing rooms. I flicked through the photos on my phone. I had taken a lot of DeShaun. There was some of me and Marshall, some of just Marshall. I had one or two selfies. I don't really like selfies.
"Done", Whit said. They all came out of the changing rooms. "Oh my fucking God", I said. They looked beautiful. "How do we look?", Hailie said. "Beautiful. Gonna look prettier than me at the wedding". "I'll take another photo", "Okay". "Pose", I took a picture.
"Okay, go change into Laney's dress". "Sure", they all went back into the changing rooms. A minute later they all came out. "Wow", they looked beautiful. "What about this one?", Laney asked. "Beautiful. Okay, one more picture. Then we'll decide. Alright?", "Yep".
"Last one, pose". They posed and I took the final picture. "So, what one do you like better?", Hailie asked, "Yeah. What one?", Whit asked. "How 'bout we ask your dad?". "Okay", Laney said.
I texted Marshall, 'What one do you like the best?'.I sent the text and the three photos of the girls in the dresses. Marshall texted back, 'The purple one'. 'Thanks Marshy', 'No problem'.
"So what one does dad like?", Laney asked. "Whit's dress". "Yay", Whit said. "Oh", Hailie and Laney said. "Don't worry. You guys get to pick your hairstyle, shoes and jewellery". "Yay". "Now lets go pay for the dresses. Who's card are we using?", "Laney's", Hailie said. "I'll go pay", Laney said taking the dresses and paying for them. I put the other dresses on the rack.
We were now at a shoe shop. I was picking out my shoes, while Laney and Hailie were picking out theirs. I picked out a pair out of white wedges. They were pretty cute, it had a little bow on each shoe. "What do you guys think of these?", I asked. "They're cute", "Nice". "Thanks", I said, slipping off my trainers and slipping on the wedges.
"Strut your stuff", Whit said. I laughed, so did the girls. "I'm gonna get these. What are you guys getting?", "These", Laney said, holding up a pair of heels. They weren't to tall, so Whit could wear them. "They're nice. I like them". "Can we get them?", Hailie asked. "Please. Please", Whit begged. "Sure. They're perfect, they match your dresses". "Yay".
"I'll pay for these", Hailie said, taking our shoeboxes and taking them to the counter. I got a text. It was from Marshall, 'How's it going?'. 'Good. Just gotta do my dress'. 'Okay. I'll see you at home later'. 'Okay. Love you :*'. 'Love you too :*'. I think it's cute how Marshy sent me a kiss via text message. "Now lets get your dress", Whit said. Hailie came back with two bags.
We were at the wedding dress shop. "Hi. How can I help you?", "Do you design dresses?", "Yes, we do. Are you looking to design a dress?". "Yeah, I've got a sketch of what I want it to look like". "Can I see?", "Sure". I dug in my pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. I unfolded it and passed it to lady.
"Nice design. I could make this for you". "Really?". "Yes, you'll just have to pay for half of the dress now", "Sure".
"Question. How long will this take?", "At least a week". "Okay". "Guess your getting your dress from here", Laney said. "I guess so". "Before we do anything, you have to pay half now", "Okay". "Here, I'll use my card. Laney can pay the other half", Hailie said. I moved out the way and Hailie paid.
"Now, we'll have to measure you", the lady said. "Okay". "Come with me", she walked out from behind her desk and led us to a room. She took my measurments, told me her name and told us goodbye.
I'm tired and hungry now.
