|De'Ann's POV|

One year later...

"Welcome to Oscar De La Renta. My name is Elaine. How may I assist you today?"

"Hello, I'm De'Ann and this is my family, and I'm here to do some dress shopping."

"OK, did you make any appointments or talk to any salesmen?" The little wrinkled women asked making her way around the glass counter.

"Uhh. No, ma'am."

"Well, it's your lucky day! Follow me."
The little women powered walked away as we all followed behind. "We have two free salesman that can help you, today. Is that fine with you or were you planing on waiting?" She asked looking back at us.

"No, today is fine. Wait, is today fine Elizabeth?" I looked over at my cousin.

"Oh, that is more than fine! It's excellent because we have a great deal to take care of in a minimum amount of time."

The women stopped in front of two glass doors. "Great, please come in, and my good friend, Frankie here will help you and get you situated." Elaine called over the young man with long blonde hair. I'd say shoulder length. At that, she made her way out the doors.

"Hello, I'm Frankie and I'll be catering to the lovely bride today."

He had a little sugar to his tank, but I didn't mind.

"OK, so which of you beautiful ladies would be my bride?"

I raised my hand in excitement. "That'll be me!"

Frankie pulled me by my hand giving me a little spin viewing my body. "Well, aren't you beautiful? OK, let's get you beauties seated and get you some champagne to your systems!" Frankie called over a women with a tray of glasses half way filled with champagne. Frankie look back at me. "OK, what is the price range your going for?"

I looked over at Elizabeth once more.

"Aren't we going around 2-4k, right?"

My mother cleared her throat at the price I had just mentioned.

" Well damn." Rashad coughed as he admired his freshly painted nails.

Elizabeth dug in her plaid portfolio and handed Frankie a photo of De'Ann's dream dress.

"This is what Dee had in mind."

Frankie over looked the picture that was handed to him."OK, how bout this: what is the theme she is going for?"

"She wants a big, Princess and the Frog shebang!"

"OK, so how about we put this beautiful lady in some of our high quality dresses." Frankie put his hand out for her to take, "We'll give the dress the exact details of that dress. Now I'm going to warn you the dresses are pretty expensive, I'm talking around 3k, so how does that sound?" Frankie gave the group of women warming smile.

"That'll be great."

"Fabulous! OK, follow me, and would you like one of your members to assist you with the dress?" He questioned.

"Yes, please."

"Alright, I'll keep the drinks coming and if you need anything else, Sarah over there will help you." He pointed to the skinny little woman that brought us the drinks. He looked over the group of the beautiful women. "Just totally fab women!" He smiled. "How about two of you come along with us and help us fine something that'll fit what she's going for? Right this way please."
