I am so hungry. We finally had everyone checked in and were going to our suite to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. I can’t believe Cole did all of this. It was amazing. When I walked into the room there was a small blue box with a note on the floor with a lily beside it and white rose petals making a pathway that I was supposed to follow. The note said “Here is something blue to keep you from getting the winter blues,” I opened the box to see a beautiful bracelet with blue crystals. It was so freaking pretty!  About five feet away there was another note and a big white box with another white lily. The note was cute, “I didn’t want to hide your beauty but your mom told me I had to. ;)” I opened the box to find a beautiful vintage yet classically modern veil, it must have been his grandmothers, and I love it. I walked around the corner to find another box, note, and lily. This note made some tears flow. “I love you so much. There will never be a day that I will stop. You are my everything and always will be. You are my soul mate even if we weren’t put together by fate. You are the best thing to happen to me. I can’t wait to see you walk down the aisle tomorrow.” I opened the box to find a beautiful pair of pearl earrings. These had to cost a fortune, why did he always feel the need to buy me stuff. I really love this guy. I kept walking to find a larger box with a blue piece of paper taped to the top and lily again. This guy was going to have me bawling and it isn’t even our wedding day. I read the note “Let’s ring in our new life together.”  The box held a beautiful white bell. The next one was a few feet away, “I get to break glass to show how much I love you and determine how many happy years we will spend together,” like the note said it was a glass in a beautiful blue shade with our names in pink and our wedding date  and matching velvet pouch.  As far as I knew there were only a few of these little gifts left. The next one was on the couch, “I was told not to buy these so I am just going to say I love you in case something bad happens. I love you.” The box held a cake knife and server. It had our initials monogrammed on them, they were cute and we did need them but they were also bad luck. Two to go from what I could see. The next bag was small, the note said “In case you feel like crying.” It had tissues and waterproof mascara.  The next thing was a teddy bear with a lily and note tied to its hand with pink and blue ribbon. From all the pink and blue I think those are our colors. The note read “In case you miss me tonight,” the small bear smelt just like him. I was wrong there was one more note “Go to the bedroom to find your next gift.” When I got into the room Cole was standing there in a suit holding three more white lilies. I ran over and jumped into his arms.

“I love you so much Cole. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You seriously are the best thing to ever happen to me.”

“I love you too and I will until the last lily dies.” He said kissing my lips and hugging me tight.  There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel his love. “In the wardrobe there is one last gift. Kadon and I will be back at 6:45 to escort you to dinner now get ready beautiful.”  Cole said putting me on the ground and giving me one last kiss. I can’t wait to see him every day and be able to look at my hand, my baby boy Kadon; and my belly and know that he is mine I am his and this is our little family. We are going to fight off the world together. Cole left the room and I walked over to the closet to find a beautiful but simple evening gown with stunning jewelry.  It was a blue one shoulder floor length gown, the necklace and earrings were very simple swirl designs with diamonds in it, which lead to the pearl at the end, the last thing in the wardrobe was a pair of blue and silver pumps. It was a stunning outfit he did a fantastic job. I went into the bathroom to start curling my hair. I finished curling my hair and started to pin some of the curls back so they cascaded down one side. I brushed my teeth and applied some foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. When I was done with all of that I put on the dress that did a great job to conceal my “small bump” and blended with my hair. After putting on the jewelry and shoes there was a knock at the door signaling that it was time for me to go. I opened the door to be greeted by two very handsome guys.  Kadon handed me a corsage, it was perfect and I couldn’t have done a better job myself with all of this planning.

“You look boo-a-full mommy!” Kadon said smiling up at me.

“You look so handsome Kadon, did you help daddy pick out mommy’s dress?”   Kadon shook his head like a maniac. I shut the door and we were off to dinner. It was so nice Cole had everything planned out and I honestly don’t know how he did it.  At the end of dinner everyone went their separate ways, my mom took Kadon and Cole was walking with me back to my room to spend my last night as a Snow.

“Aubree you looked great tonight and I can’t wait to be able to call you Mrs. Pennington.  I know it is late but can I show you something?” Cole was nervous and you could tell by the tone of his voice. It was cute.

“Sure, by the way it is only ten o’clock,” I added with a chuckle. He led me down to the lobby and out of the door. We walked until we were overlooking a small lake and a gazebo that had blue and pink lights surrounding it. It was cold so Cole took off his suit jacket and put it over my shoulders. When we finally walked into the gazebo there was a table in the center with one last note, desserts, and another gift box. I read the note and it made me tear up a little bit, “Aubree Noelle Snow,  you are perfect. You mean so much to me and I am so sorry for hurting you. I love you so much and can’t imagine my life without you. When I am with you my whole world seems complete. You are the best mother to Kadon and the best fiancé. You will never know how beautiful you really are because you keep looking at all of those perfect imperfections that make you, you. I promise to love you until my forever ends..  Love Always, Cole.” I opened the box the find am engraved charm bracelet that said until forever ends. We sat down and ate chocolate and drank hot cider and tea, until I started to get tired.

“Ready for bed baby girl?” Cole said with the biggest smile on his face.

I nodded my head yes and got up to start waking to be  pulled back to Cole for a kiss and then swept off my feet and carried into the hotel.  He took me to my room, sat me on my bed and removed my shoes, jewelry, bobby pins, and dress. He grabbed a pair of yoga pants, tee shirt, socks, and a hoodie from a bag and pulled them up until he got to where my butt met the bed; I lifted my butt so he could pull them up. I finished pulling on my clothes and laid down. Cole came over lifted my shirt and hoodie and placed a few gentle kisses on my very small baby bump. He kissed my cheek, handle me my teddy bear, and said good night. Within a few minutes I was out.
