Crystal POV

This is it. Today is the day. October 16th, 2018. And I am beyond nervous, beyond excited and beyond...anything. I was sitting on my bed in my hotel in my home town in England, and it's the night before my wedding day. I'm sharing my room with my bridesmaids: Zendaya, Sabrina Carpenter, Bea Miller, Ariana Grande, Hailee Steinfeld, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. Well, I say room, it's actually a suite with three rooms that we share, but everyone was in my room I shared with Zendaya and Taylor, talking and doing each other's hair before we head to bed.

Taylor was telling us all about her best friend Abigail's wedding, and how she'd almost fallen when she was walking down the aisle because of the long dress and high heels she had been wearing. We were all laughing and having a good time, then Zendaya spoke up.

"Honestly Crys, I have no idea how you're gonna be able to stand wearing all that stuff tomorrow." I laughed, standing up and walking around the young women seated on the floor. I ducked out of the room for a minute and went to the fridge, taking out two bottles of Sangria wine. I took them into the room and there was a general cry of pleasure and lots of laughter, making me laugh before I went out and quickly got glasses for each of us.

"This is one way, Daya." I explained, lifting my full glass of wine. Zendaya burst into laughter and leaned against the wall, lifting her glass as she replied,

"This is a really good way to stand it. Let's just not get drunk, I do not want to have a hangover tomorrow." Everyone agreed, then I asked Taylor,

"When do you think you'll get married, Taylor? You and Joe seem pretty serious." Taylor didn't answer and looked around to avoid answering as she took a long sip from her wine, and Hailee teased her,

"Come ooon Tay, we all know you're in looove."

"Well what about you, hm? You seem pretty cozy with Niall." Taylor retorted, extracting a chorus of 'ooh's from the rest of us. Hailee flushed bright red and Selena laughed loudly at her.

"Oh you can't start, Selena! What's the truth with all those pictures of you and Justin, hmm?" Hailee shot at the black haired Mexican, who skilfully turned the questions to Sabrina with

"So what's up with you and Bradley these days?" Sabrina flushed and reflected the questioning to Bea.

"So you and Jacob seem pretty close lately."

"Yep we're back together and having-"

"Bea please keep it PG." I interrupted the calm brunette's sentence, knowing nothing clean was going to come from that sentence. She chuckled and I rolled my eyes at her before taking a drink of my wine.

"Well I don't know about you, Zendaya, but all I gathered from that interesting exchange is that every single one of them has a guy they're interested in, and Taylor is hoping to marry Joe." Zendaya and I nodded wisely at each other, then burst out laughing and leaned against each other as the others rolled their eyes at each other.

We stayed up past midnight talking, then we went to bed. I was sharing my bed with Zendaya however, and we ended up whispering together for a long time. We did eventually get to sleep, and my dreams were either happy, or of me sleeping in and missing my own wedding. Even though that would never happen.

TOM pov

I woke up the morning of my wedding day at 6 30 in the morning, courtesy of my youngest brother Paddy who woke me up by jumping on my bed.

"Get up Tom get up! Mum says Crystal becomes my sister today so get up!" He yelled, clearly excited at the prospect of having a sister. I laugh and sit up, pulling him to the bed and tickling him for a few minutes, until Mum came in.
