Mariah had one more face to do in her bridal party. Deciding to work smarter and not harder, she did her makeup as she was getting her hair done. Looking around the dressing room, this moment felt so surreal. The moment she'd been waiting for her whole life, was taking place. She had thoughts of what Qasim looked like since she couldn't see him. Not being able to pick a dress, Qasim decided to pick out her dress and purchase it. Today, would be her first time seeing the dress. He even took the time to pick out two dresses and tuxedos for the children. Mariah knew she was blessed, and although neither of them were perfect- their love was perfect enough for them.
"Honey, you have about thirty more minutes. We are on a time schedule" Rachel reminded, pulling the garment bag off the door.
Honey only nodded, continuing the finishing touches on the bridal party makeup. Admiring her work, she pulled out her phone. Hitting her camera, she started a video. Recording their makeup look. She stopped the recording, and typed in the caption 'Shades by Honey O' using their geofilter that popped up instantly.
"Mariah Honey Ortiz" Rachel shouted, gaining her undivided attention.
"Ma, there's a thing called, fashionably late."
Rachel grabbed a hanger threatening to swat Honeys ass with it.
"Mariah, the games cease now"
Mariah bit her lip as the preparations began. They started with getting her into her dress. Her nerves were at an all time high, thinking something would go wrong. Her phone went off as they situated the pearls in the back of her dress. Glancing at the screen, she let out a small groan. Qasim wasn't supposed to see her, and he knew it. Annalise grabbed the phone, sliding her finger across, she was connected with her husband Kaydence.
After a few minutes of silence, Q could be heard crooning a very bad rendition of Toni! Tony! Toné! song, Anniversary.
Do you know what today is? It's our wedding day, wedding day
Do you know what today is? It's our wedding day, wedding day
Today I have lots of fun in store for you girl
Do you know what today is? It's our wedding day
Do you know what today is? It's our wedding day, made for you and me
Qasim and Kaydence laughter filled the phone.
"He pushed me up to FaceTime because he said, O needed to hear his voice"
Qasim interjected, "Those are things a partner knows about their significant other"
Kaydence couldn't find the lie, he knew his wife so well, that he knew her cycle like clockwork.
Anna looked over to her best friend, and grabbed tissues.
"Baby, she's threatening a waterfall. Gotta go"
Liese sat the phone down to dab at O's face. Getting herself under control, she couldn't fathom how she'd ended up with the perfect guy. Anna added a little more mascara and liner.
Trisha Winters placed her head piece on. They all stopped to stare at Mariah. Rachel complimented her daughter quite often. Today, she looked like royalty, and she felt the tears begin to well.
"Baby, you look so amazing" she spoke, situating her veil and the jewel on the front of her head piece.
Anna reminded herself to congratulate Qasim on his bomb ass wedding dress choice. The dress fit Mariah like a glove.
