My mom claps her hands joyfully.

At this very moment I'm staring at my reflection in a big fancy mirror in a wedding dress shop.

Yes, I already have two dresses for my wedding but my mom insists that I buy three and choose the one I love the most.

You'd think my mom wouldn't have wanted to spend this much money but since I'm her only daughter she wants to make my wedding special, which I understand.

In this dress I look fat. not chubby but fat. I hear my mom sigh knowing very well that I don't like this dress. I think she's getting tired of waiting for me to decide.

"Sure." She said as I went I. The change room and took off my dress.

I'm now almost 18 now. In two weeks it will be my birthday and then we will be getting married.

I got out of the change room and handed the dress to the worker as she handed me the next one to try on.

I put it on and I loved it. It was a white colour with no straps. there was a big line of silver sequins going all the way down to the flowing back of the dress.
