Angelica

"Angelica help!" I sighed and entered Peggy's dressing room before bursting into laughter, she looked like a worm! She was trying to wiggle out of the yellow dress she picked for the wedding. It was a really pretty dress actually, the top part of it was skin tight and lacey but at about the bellybutton there was a very tiny and thin brown belt which right after led to the smooth skirt which wasn't poofy but it wasn't a straight down skirt either, sort of bigger.

"Stop moving..." I mumbled and Peggy stopped wiggling. I pulled the dress off of her and put it on the hanger, "So you want to wear this?" I asked and Peggy nodded so I left the dressing room and set her dress beside Eliza's.

Eliza's dress was simple and dark blue of course. It had thicker sleeves while Peggy's was long sleeved, Eliza's was more like it was a tank top with its sleeves and it had a sort of silver belt around the middle. George had taken the boys to the men's section of the store so I only had Maria, Theodosia, Tori, Jane, and Susan to worry about. Yes, Susan was getting a dress even if she was only six months old.

"Look at this? I look hot!" Tori said as she waltzed over to us, Peggy emerging from her dressing room in her shirt and pants. I looked at Tori to see her in a green dress, her straps hung off her shoulder and the skirt was layered. Her dress had a heart thing over her chest and she struck a pose, "What do you think?"

"You're right," Peggy said and giggled as I adjusted the shawl that went around her elbows slightly, "You look hot."

"Hell yeah! Oh, and Maria and Susan are over there struggling." She pointed to another dressing room and Peggy hurried off to help her girlfriend. I wasn't too fond of Peggy getting in a relationship so suddenly but it wasn't my business and they weren't hurting anybody so I chose not to mind.

Tori went to change back into her sundress that she wore here as Maria walked over with Peggy holding Susan. Maria looked gorgeous, her dress crisscrossed at her chest and it hugged her curves all the way to the floor. Susan was in a simple dress as she was a baby, it had a few flowers right under her chest and was also red though it was darker than her mother's.

"Do I look okay..?" Maria asked and looked at the dress's skirt, moving it slightly to move it from her legs slightly.

"Mhmm," Peggy said and smiled at her lovingly, "You look gorgeous as always. Susan looks adorable as well." She nuzzled the baby and Susan giggled, flailing and grabbing Peggy's hair, "Ah! Ow! Suzie no!" Maria laughed and rubbed the side of Susan's hand lightly making Susan let go, "You're magic!" Peggy declared.

I laughed and nodded at Maria, "You and Susan look perfect." I told her and finally, I saw Theodosia coming over. She was in a strapless mermaid tail purple dress with black lace designs and a black bow across the middle, "Holy heck you look amazing."

"Thanks," Theo smiled and wiggled her hips slightly so the bottom of the dress swished around, "I like it!" She declared.

"I do too, add it to the collection." I motioned to the rack holding Peggy, Eliza, and my dress. My dress was light pink and floor length with the chest and mid stomach section being skin tight and the sleeves studded with diamonds. I loved it.

Finally, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and smiled kindly at Jane. She was nervous and I could tell why. Her dress was brown and turtle necked, the sleeves down to her wrists and it was just below her knees in length. It wasn't form fitting and I could tell she had stuffed a bra for her chest, "Is this okay?" She asked quietly.

I nodded instantly, "You look gorgeous, Jane," I told her and watched Peggy add Maria, Susan, Theo, and Tori's dresses to the rack. I took her hands after looking back at her and smiled, "I'm serious. You could kill a man with one look in that dress."

She smiled shyly, "Thanks. Should I get it?" She asked and shifted from one foot to the other lightly.

I nodded, "Hell yeah!" She giggled and left to change back and I left Eliza in charge so I could go find George and make sure they were all on track. Us girls didn't have to worry about anything else because I decided we should all have the same shoes, slightly heeled white flats to keep it simple. I ran up when I spotted George and hugged the man from behind, "Sup Georgie?" I asked and ignored his shocked noise at having to catch my weight.

"Just finishing," George answered and pointed at the rack with four suits. Alex and John's were picked out instantly while Nate and Thomas apparently had some trouble. Laf's only family he wanted to attend was his cousin, a girl named Theresa, and she apparently already found a dress and was going to board a plane in the next few days to attend the wedding.

"And you?" I asked and poked his cheek, trying not to blush. The more I was around the mature man the more I felt slightly attracted but it wasn't a romantic attraction so I decided ignored it entirely, and I had no plans to make it anything more. Besides, Alex and Laf might think it's weird.

George shrugged, "I'm going to wear my formal military wear." He informed her, "Because I was a general." It was then I remembered him explaining his military career a few weeks ago.

"Oh right," I got off his back, "Well the girls and I are all ready to check this shit out." I said and collected the suits, "I guess the other dudes are going off to find the flowers for their pockets or pocket squares?" I asked as I walked back to the girls and he nodded.

"We're doing pocket squares," He said as we all conferred. As we talked and more ideas came out about the dresses and stuff I knew just how amazing this wedding was going to be.
