Chapter 22: The Day

Bella's POV

Today's the day. Today's the freakin day. Well it's my birthday as well but that's not what's important right now. That's not what all the buzz is about. Today is the dreaded yet anticipated wedding day. I woke up this morning by Anna, Breah, Zoe, Annalise and Mum bursting into my room armed with bags of makeup and hair tools. They pulled me out of bed and pushed me into the bathroom. You'd think they'd leave and let me do my thing but no, they came into the bathroom with me and brushed my teeth and washed my face for me. Thankfully they left after they shoved me into the shower forcing a razor in my hand and telling me to shave everything. I was going to take my sweet time and relax in the shower before all the wedding nerves really set in but once again, no. After 5 minutes they were banging on the door and yelling at me to come out. How does any girl finish showering and shaving in 5 minutes? I don't know.

I said I wasn't finished yet but that wasn't a good enough reason, because before I knew it the door burst open and they threw a towel over me and dragged me back into my room, handing me underwear and a robe. Turns out Anna just picked the lock because everyone was getting impatient. Huffing I walked into my bathroom again and put on the things they handed me. The second I finished putting on the robe the door burst open and Zoe dragged me into my room, pushing me down onto a chair. I didn't bother locking the bathroom door because I know they would just pick the lock. 

I'm not really interested in makeup and usually don't wear any but today's my wedding day so I guess I've got to put in some effort. I only the basics with makeup so I left everything to Breah and Anna. Mum and Annalise are doing my hair while Zoe is getting my dress, shoes and accessories. 

4 hours later...

Ok so I know that today's my wedding day it's important to make an extra effort to look good blah blah blah but seriously. Four hours. I've lost all feeling in my butt and I'm feeling really restless from just sitting here. The pre-wedding nerves are starting to kick in and all I can do is sit when I'm itching to pace and jump around. Groaning in pain and frustration as my hair is pulled yet again I try shaking my legs around in my seat. It seems to be ok but then I accidentally kick Anna on the leg making her swipe the lipstick she was using across her cheek. Turning to glare at me she huffs and pulls out a makeup wipe. Scrubbing away the lipstick she redoes her lipstick before walking away to put on her dress.

Mum and Annalise finally step away from my head and spin my chair towards the mirror. They'd turned me away from the mirror at the beginning to make it easier for them to do my hair and so I couldn't see myself until the end. Looking into the mirror I let out a soft gasp when I see myself. Anna and Breah had done an amazing job at covering any imperfection there was on my face but still keeping it natural. My hair was curled and then a bit of it was braided and then wrapped around my head like a headband. A little flower crown is placed just above the braid as well.

My dress is pretty simple. It's a traditional white and a bit of silver. The top bit is a silver shiny material and from around the waist down is a flowy white material. There isn't any detailing on the dress so it's pretty basic. Twirling around in front of the mirror  run my fingers down the smooth material. Zoe put some dangling silver earrings in my ears and set out some silver heels for me. Carefully lifting my dress I step into the shoes. Turning around I see that Breah, Zoe and Anna have all gotten into their bridesmaid dresses.

Their dresses are purple, obviously, it's the best colour in the world. The dresses are strapless and are tight at the top before flowing out at the waist. They all look absolutely beautiful. I didn't know who to make my maid of honour so we all talked about it and Zoe was probably the most excited about it so we decided to let her have the honour. I love them all so much so it was hard choosing one girl but the others didn't mind...much. They quickly put on their white heels and necklaces before turning to face me.
