IVY'S POV

{ 4 months later }

*i wake up in the hotel room that i was sharing with joey's mom and his two sisters. i shut off my alarm and check the time, seeing that it was 6:56am. i rub my eyes and sit up in bed with a smile on my face. i shake sophia to wake her up and she sits up, hugging me. i giggle as i hug back and we both get out of bed. she wakes up bella and jen while i put on a pair of sandals. all of us get ready to look somewhat presentable and walk to the lobby for breakfast.*

jen- are you excited for today ivy?

ivy- yeah i'm really excited, just a little nervous

bella- you have nothing to worry about, we promise

ivy- i know it's just that joey will be meeting the rest of my small family and i'll be meeting more of your guys' family. on top of all that i have to speak loud enough for everyone to hear me

sophia- ivy, they have pancakes

ivy- i think i'll stick with fruit today, thanks soph

*she smiles and makes her pancake while i make my peanut butter toast with banana. i take a deep breath and sit down at the table with everyone else.*

jen- you're going to be okay. you'll feel like it's only you and joey when you talk okay?

ivy- okay. hopefully my medication will help

*they all nod and we start eating. i take a bite of my toast and look at sophia as she pours syrup all over her pancake.*

jen- not too much sophia, that's a lot of sugar

*i laugh quietly and finish one piece.*

*we finish eating and go back to our hotel room. sophia sits on the bed and jen has me help her set up some chairs. once we finish those, there's a few knocks on the door. jen opens the door and lets all of the makeup artists and hair stylists inside. i quickly take my  anxiety medicine before i'm told to sit in a chair. luckily i washed my face already because now i'm getting makeup done.*

makeup artist- i'm assuming that you are the bride for today's wedding

ivy- that i am

makeup artist- i'm just putting on some primer and foundation to start off. what look are you going for?

ivy- i don't wear a lot of makeup so maybe something kind of natural but not too natural. sorry does that make sense?

*i laugh at my response and she nods with a smile.*

makeup artist- i get what you're saying, don't worry

*i smile and sophia is sat next to me to start her makeup.*

makeup artist- is that one of your bridesmaids?

ivy- yeah she is. her older sister is the other one and their mom is going to walk me down the aisle

makeup artist- well i think you're going to have a fantastic day
