A/n: Bridesmaid dresses and Karshia's dress featured above.

Karshia's P.O.V. (One and only time you see it from her P.O.V. I think...)
We went dress shopping today with my bridesmaids. Raelia was my maid of honor. Elain and a couple of my longtime friends, Madelyn, Ava, and Lily were my bridesmaids. Feyre, Amren, and Nesta were shopping for a dress with Mor. Mor and I decided we could barely wait until we could call each other our wives, so we were going to have a wedding in two months. It was to be on the banks of the Sidra and all of Velaris was invited, including all of KidsKare.

We headed to a dress shop, laughing and chatting along the way. We had to pick the bridesmaid dresses. We chose peach-pink dresses. They had spaghetti straps and it ended at the floor. Then we moved on to my dress. I tried on many dresses that had poofy sleeves, or skirts, and many other kinds of dresses, but none of them made me feel like I was getting married.

Then I tried on a fitted dress. It was strapless, and it was fitted until my knees, where it flowed out just a little. It ended at the floor, but it wasn't long enough to form a train. There was a veil with crystals in it, going down to the floor, creating the train. It was held to my head with a tiara.

"This is the one, Karshia," Raelia said.

"Yeah, you look absolutely stunning," Madelyn. Ava and Lily repeated the sentiment.

"Thanks. I love this one too. Elain? What do you think?" I asked.

"I love it. It's absolutely perfect for you," Elain said, smiling. We packed up the suits and my dress, and headed home to meet Mor and we would start shopping for furniture and decorations, and a service to set it all up and change the furniture from wedding chairs to tables and a dance floor for the reception.

Mor's P.O.V.
My bridesmaids and I got to the dress shop and started by picking out tuxes for Cassian and Azriel. They were part of my crew as bridesmen (Lol I didn't know what else to call them). We picked a grey jacket, pants, and vest, with a navy blue shirt, and striped navy and grey ties.  Then we started looking for my dress. I tried on fitted dresses, loose dresses, ones with long sleeves, short sleeves, sleeveless, strapless, but none of them made me feel magical.

Finally, I found the one. It was a sleeveless dress. From my chest up, it was made of lace, and it had a high collar. Little white embroidered flowers were on the lace. The dress was flowed out from my waist all the way to the floor. It had a little gold belt in the middle. In the skirt, very small crystals were sewn in, catching light, and making it look like the dress was radiating. There was a tiara for my hair, but no veil. There were matching shoes; white heels with crystals on the tip. I loved it.

"Wow, Mor," Amren said. "You look amazing."

"Thanks Amren. Ladies? What do you think?"

"You look perfect," Feyre said. "Ooh I'm so proud of you!"

"I am too. You look great!" Nesta agreed. We bought all the dresses and headed home. Once we got home, I gave my dress to Amren, who had agreed to keep my dress so that Karshia wouldn't see it. Karshia and the others weren't back yet, so we all lounged on the couch and talked. Within 10 minutes, Karshia and her gang got home. She greeted me with a kiss, and ran to put the bridesmen tuxes upstairs. I saw her slip a package to Feyre, which I assumed was her dress for Feyre to hide. Then Karshia and I headed out.

"Where can we find wedding services and other stuff? I don't actually know," Karshia said, jokingly.

"Well actually, the street where I bought my dress was an entire street of wedding things. We can start by looking there," I replied cheerfully. I was so happy. I was holding hands with my fiancé, girl of my dreams. I had amazing friends and lived in an amazing place...I had no reason to be unhappy.

"Okay," she said. She smiled, leaning over and kissing me.

"What was that for? Not that I'm complaining," I asked. She laughed.

"Well, I can barely keep my hands off you. I'm so happy I'm going to be marrying you," Karshia said.

"Me too," I said grinning. "You know, we need to come up with a nickname for you. Mor is my nickname, so what's yours?"

"Mm how about Kar?" She suggested. I hummed approvingly.

"Kar Brammah. I like it," I said, testing the name. Brammah was her last name. "By the way, I was wondering, would it be okay with you if I took your last name?"

"Of course it's okay! I would love it if you took my last name. Mor Brammah...has a nice ring to it," She said grinning. We hugged, and I thanked her. We reached the street.

We found a service first, which told us to go pick furniture and decor. They provided the food, but we had to choose our furniture. We decided on simple white chairs. The spot we chose on the Sidra had a gazebo set up, so we would decorate that with garlands of lilies of all different colors. We chose white tables that matched the chairs, also with multicolored lilies in the centerpieces. Finally we picked a menu, and chose a cake. They showed us a cake with different colored swirls all over the cake, kind of representing her artistic talent and my whimsical personality. We loved it. Lastly, we designed our invitations. They had our names (of course), the date and time, and location. We had these shipped out to everyone in Velaris. With all things for the wedding planned, I winnowed us home.
