Laurie's Pov:
It has been a few months since Val and I got engaged.
I am busy planning the wedding of our dreams. Val helps me with some of the planning but really he just wants me to have the wedding my dreams and at the end of our big day we are married.
Val has suggested hiring a wedding planner but I refuse to let someone else plan our wedding.
Very early on in the wedding planning Val and I agreed on a date and a location.
We decided to get married in New York on January 19.
Today I am going Bridesmaids dress shopping with my bridesmaids and my maid-of-honor and my mom and my future mother-in-law.
I walked into the gym and saw Val working out with Mak's.
" Babe, I'm leaving to go bridesmaids dress shopping" I tell Val and watch as he walks over to me
" Okay. Be safe" Val tells me kissing my lips
" I will. I love you " I tell Val kissing his lips again
" I love you too " Val tells me
" Bye, Babe. Bye, Mak's " I holler as I go to the front door
I walk outside and I see Simone, Aly, Gabby, Maddy, Peta and my sister Jeylsa.
" Where are mom and Larissa?" I ask the girls
" They are there looking at mother-of-the bride and mother-of-the groom dress" Jeylsa tells me smiling
" Alright. You have had your hand in your pocket since you stepped out the front door. I want to see your engagement ring" Aly tells me
" Yeah. You haven't posted a picture of your engagement ring yet" Simone says
" Show us your engagement ring" Maddy says
Soon my Olympic teammate's/best-friends are chanting 'SHOW US'.
" Alright. I'll show you my engagement ring" I tell them slowly pulling my hand out of my pocket
Once they see the ring they are all staring at the rock on my finger.
" Val Did good" Gabby compliments
" That is absolutely beautiful" Aly says admiring my ring
" How did he pop the question?" Maddy asks me
I tell them the story of how Val proposed to me and soon after the story finished we reached the bridal shop.
After a while of waiting a consultant walks over to help us.
" Would you ladies like some help?" The consultant asks us
" Yes" I tell her
" What are we looking for?" She asks me
" We are looking for bridesmaids dresses" I tell her
" Who is my bride?" The lady asks and raise my hand
" When is your wedding?" The lady asks me
" January " I tell her
" Do you want long or short is there a specific style of dress that you would like to see on them?" The consultant asks me
" Long preferably" I say
" Alright. I am going to take the bride with me and we are going to pull dresses and you 7 pull dresses" The consultant tells us
I follow the consultant back to a dress rack and she pulls a few dresses and she takes them to the dressing rooms and I am joined on the couch by my mom and Val's mom and Jeylsa and Peta.
The girls all walk out in their selections and it looks terrible.
" What do you think of your entourages selections?" The consultant asks me
" Awful. They are all short. Val and I are getting married in New York in January" I remind the girls
" They aren't that bad" Gabby says
" We all want to wear short dresses. We have amazing legs. Why not flaunt them?" Riley comments
" All 5 of you have amazing legs but this isn't a birthday party or backyard barbeque. This is a wedding" I tell them
" We want to be able to dance and party but we can't dance or party in a long dress. Plus, Maybe us single girls will find some guys" Maddy comments
" This is my wedding. When you girls get married I will gladly March down that aisle in the ugliest dress on the rack that you could possibly find and stand by your side support you on your big day" I tell the girls
" Alright. Let's go try on the brides picks " the consultant says and the girls go back to the dressing rooms
" I am never going to find a dress that you all agree on " I say to Jeylsa and Peta
" Yes, you will" Peta tells me
" Peta's right, And I will wear whatever you decide on because you did the same for me when I got married" Jeylsa tells me
After a while of waiting the girls all walk out in long Dresses of my pick.
" You all look very beautiful" I tell them smiling happily
" Who's dress do you like better?" The consultant asks me
" I really love Gabby's" I say to the consultant
" Do you like the color?" Gabby asks me
" I love the color " I say honestly
" Are you saying yes to the dress?" The consultant asks me
" I am saying yes to Gabby's dress!!" I tell them happily
After a while we all go home and I tell Val about the dress store incident and the battle between the bridesmaids and the bride of long or short.
After a while Val and I went to bed to put an end to the never ending wedding planning.
