America x Belarus- I can be your hero

Chapter 9: Mr and Mrs. Jones

Today is the day. My day. Our day.

Alfred and I going to be tied together forever. Everything so far is perfect. I haven't seen Alfred for a few hours and I don't want to see him until I walk down the aisle.

Ivan will be walking me down the aisle. Katysusha is my maid of honor as I was hers. My bridesmaids are Stella, Lia, Elizabèta, Bella, Lili, and Mei. Alfred's best man is Matthew and his groomsmen are Gilbert, Mathais, Francis, Yao, Kiku, and Arthur.

Stella is currently doing my hair, making it is perfect. The bridesmaids are wearing short,strapless light blue dresses. Katyusha has a on a dark blue dress that reaches her knees with a lacy bow on the back. Stella insisted on the lace.

"Oh, Natalia. You look so beautiful!" Stella exclaims, finishing my bun. I blush.

"Thanks." I respond. Lia walks out of the changing room.

"Sorry. I had to do my hair. Now let's get started on your makeup." Lia pulls a chair close to mine. I turn my chair to face her. She opens her small red clutch bag and pulls out some makeup supplies. She starts with my eyes. Eyeliner, mascara, a faint amount of eyeshadow. Then she applies some pale pink lisp gloss and a small amount of blush.

"Finished!" Lia announces happily. I stand up and walk over to the full length mirror, admiring myself. I am wearing a strapless, open back dress with small ruffles from my hips to my feet. Not too plain, not too extravagant. Not a princess ballgown, not conservative, not so sexy that I'll gain every boy's attention causing Alfred to get pissed and start a fight, ruining my wedding.

This dress is perfect.

The other bridesmaids and maid of honor come stand around me.

"Natalia, you look so pretty." Lili compliments. She has always been so sweet.

"Thank you."

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Bella walks over to her purse.

"Oh, me too." Katyusha follows her. Bella comes back with a veil in her hands. I can't see what Kat is holding. Bella places the veil into my hair, making sure it is placed correctly. Katyusha then places my old white bow on top of my head.

"Kat." I whisper.

"I know you don't really wear it anymore. I just thought you could wear it on your big day." She explains. I hug her.

"You are the best sister I ever had." I say. She of course hugs back.

"I'm the only sister you ever had." Katyusha says. I laugh a little and turn to the mirror again.

"Perfect." I say.

"Wait." Stella steps closer to me. She untucks a slightly curly strand of hair from behind my ear. "Now you are perfect." I smile.

"Let's leave her alone for now." Lia says.

"Be ready to come out in ten minutes." Elizabèta adds.

"Okay." I reply. The ladies exit the room and close the door.

I admire myself for about five minutes until I hear the door open. It's Alfred. I scream and he immediately shuts the door again.

"Sorry, sorry! Are you naked?" He asks. I walk up to the door but don't open it.

"No. No I'm not naked. Did you see me?" I ask.

"No."

"Good."

"...Can I come in?" Alfred asks.
