"Okay, finally finished!" Lanie's excited voice says once the setting spray seeps into my face.

Slowly opening my eyes, I see her standing in front of me. Her silver dress is hugging to her body as she places the makeup palette down.

Allie lets out a gasp, placing her hand over her mouth. "Wow. You look breathtaking."

"Go look at the finished product." Lanie says while motioning toward the full length mirror.

Slowly standing up, my nerves go insane as I walk over to see myself. The minute I catch a glimpse of the long, white wedding dress on my body, I feel like crying. My brown hair is pinned up, allowing the fresh makeup on my face to shine. The gown that Lanie made me is fucking beautiful. It's even nicer now that it's actually my wedding day. The off the shoulder sleeves are lace and the pattern continues down the rest of the dress.

"Oh my god." I whisper, running my hands over the material.

"What do you think? Did I do a good job?" Lanie asks while coming up behind me.

"Yes, are you kidding? My hair and makeup is perfect, and this dress still leaves me speechless." There are no words to describe this feeling. Seeing me in this gown, all ready to head downstairs and marry the love of my life is mind blowing. This day always felt so far away, but now it's finally here.

"You make such a beautiful bride, Stella." Allie says while admiring my appearance. She's wearing the same silver bridesmaid dress as Lanie.

"Thank you." I happily smile while turning back to face them.

"God, Lanie, this dress is gorgeous. I wish I had a real wedding just so you could design me one" Allie says while shaking her head.

"It's not my fault you and Jake eloped on your vacation to Hawaii. You know I would have." Lanie lets out a sigh.

"Yeah, even two years later and it still annoys me." I playfully roll my eyes.

"I'm sorry! It sort of just happened, you know Jake and I didn't want a big ceremony." The blonde throws her hands up in defense.

Grayson and I are the last of our group to tie the knot. Of course, Ethan and Lanie got married a year after their engagement. They were only twenty one, but didn't care. The ceremony was outside at this gorgeous venue and it was absolutely stunning.

Three years after that, Jake and Allie got married on their vacation. It was a totally random decision. My brother proposed and they were planning an actual wedding, but decided to spontaneously get it over with. Now, it's finally my turn to walk down the aisle.

The door to my dressing room bursts open, and Lanie's four year old daughter comes rushing into the room. She's wearing a light pink dress, all ready to be the flower girl.

"Aunt Stella!" The beautiful child rushes up to hug me.

I scoop her into my arms and hug her tightly. "Hi Emily. You look beautiful." I tell my goddaughter.

Ethan walks into the room wearing his black suit and tie. "I couldn't hold her any longer, she wanted to see her aunt."

"I can't wait to throw the flowers!" She giggles while gripping onto my shoulders.

"You are going to be the best flower girl ever." I smile while staring down at her. She's the perfect mix of Ethan and Lanie. She has Lanie's light eyes, but Ethan's dark locks.

"We just saw uncle Grayson. He looks so handsome." She blushes.

"I bet he does." I bite down on my lower lip, my heart rate increasing.
