(Missi's POV)

'Oh God, who's at the door this early? It isn't even 7 AM.' I said untangling myself from Shannon since I'd somehow become a body pillow.

'Huh?' He uttered lifelessly.

I put on a robe and went downstairs, muttering about tux delivery times.

I looked outside before opening the door.

'Who else but Vern.' I snickered.

'Oh my, aren't you the vision of a blushing bride. Let me grab my phone, I need to commit that hairdo to memory so I can recreate it for you tomorrow.' She teased.

'Hi Vern.' I said hugging her briefly before helping her with her bags.

'Weren't you up yet?'

'No'

'Aren't you nervous?'

'What do I have to be nervous about this early?'

'True. Your life isn't really going to change much, except you won't be living in sin anymore.' She teased, snickering as she said it in a way only she could before breaking into laughter.

'You're wound up and ready to go today, aren't you?'

'Not everyone lays in bed all day with their feet in the air.'

'I do not!'

'Well it's a wonder he's even marrying you then.'

'Vern!'

'I knew I could get you working that chin.'

'Oh my, this is going to be quite a day.' I snickered.

'Nothing like tomorrow will be. Where's Prince Charming?'

'He's upstairs sleeping, probably drooling on my pillow.'

'I'm sorry to hear that. Do you occasionally wake up to a wet spot?' She said, and we cracked up.

'Yeah, but it's more embarrassing when he does it during the day. Thank God Maggie licks his face off every now and then.'

'Now see, that's unconditional love and then some. You need to start picking up the slack.'

'Eww' I laughed.

'I think that's in the rulebook somewhere under wifely duties.'

'I must have missed that part. Come on Maggie, jump up and give Auntie Chels a big kiss.' I said unlatching her cage. 'Not me!' I said after she bolted out of her cage and laid a big wet one on my face.

'Your daughter is very affectionate.' She said before Maggie quickly bestowed one on her too.

'Maggie, outside!' I said opening the door and she ran right out.

'Do you want some coffee?' I asked.

'Have you learned how to make it yet?'

'What's so damn hard about it?'

'You make your tea and I'll handle the coffee.'

We made our drinks and went outside. I told her I wanted to have a cigarette, but that wasn't the main objective.

'So, are you all prepared for tomorrow?' She asked.

'I think so. Tensions are running high between Jared and Shannon though.'

'Is that really anything new?'

'I've never seen it to this extent before. I asked Shannon to chill about it with the wedding and all.'
