Way Down We Go

Chapter Thirteen

Our business in England was over in a week, before we split up in Europe. The girls went over to the dress shop -now that the bridesmaids dresses had arrived- whilst the boys went to Italy to find their suits.

"Good morning, everybody!" I smiled into the camera that Andrew held. "So, it's eight AM, where we are, and we're on our way to find our bridesmaids dresses! At last, I don't have to change into a million gowns." I grinned. "My dress is being made as we speak, four dressmakers work on it for at least ten hours a day, I'm told, but now is the time to dress my girlfriends!" I grinned tiredly. I hadn't slept much the previous night, for an issue with my mothers' company had taken up most of the time I had intended to sleep in. "Now, as we all know, maroon, dark blue and gold are the colour schemes, so let's see what we can see!" I smiled, before he started getting scenic shots out of the window.

We managed the rest of the trip with ease, everybody was quiet as we made our way to the dress shop. I had my little pom on my lap the rest of the way, gently brushing my fingers through her fur as we drove down the roads towards the emporium.

"My love!" David said. I smiled, walking over to him.

"David, it's been too long!" I smiled, accepting his quick hug.

"Indeed, darling. It has. So, who are our lovely bridesmaids?" he asked.

"We have my girlfriends, Greer, Lola, Aylee and Kenna. My future sisters in law, Elisabeth, Claude and Margret. My half sister, Jane. And, my cousins, Madeline and Cordelia." I introduced. Per Catherine's instructions, I had gotten to know a little more of my biological family before the wedding, two half brothers, my half sister and distant cousins to be exact. Adam, the oldest half brother had a son, Isaac, who would be the ring barer, along with little Henri. I was struggling to get to know the few other half brothers Jamie and I shared, because there was simply too many of them and we held so little free time. It seemed a little odd, as all those claimed by our long dead father held jobs and shares in his company, but we had never met. However, we were trying our best, with any spare time my assistants and Jamie had spent tracking down the other children from James Stuart. However, another problem we had faced was that only a few of them were claimed with his name on the birth certificate, there could and probably was far more than we knew about, but would never meet them. My half sister, however, was the closest and most loyal out of all the people we had recently found out about.

"And who are these lovely little girls?" he bent down to Joan and Victoria, who giggled in response.

"My future sisters in law, Joan and Victoria. My flower girls." I introduced.

"How lovely to meet you." he stood up.

"Now, do we have a maid of honour?"

"We do, my best friend, Greer." I smiled.

"How lovely. Now, I know we're going in a direction of maroon, navy and gold for the wedding, so which colours are we thinking of, for the bridesmaids dresses?" he asked.

"We're thinking of maroon for the dresses, gold for any accessories." I explained.

"Navy shoes?"

"Indeed."

"Lovely, I see we're brought the entourage again," he smiled.

"Yes, we have." I smiled.

"Lovely. Why don't we get the bridesmaids into the changing rooms and you and I may choose some dresses for them to wear?" he asked.

"Let's do it." I nodded.

They walked off towards the changing rooms. Madison, Brie and Andrew walked over to the viewing area whilst David, Catherine, Skylar and I sought through the gowns. Greer, Victoria and Joan stayed with us as we looked through the gowns.
