"So, we are heading to a wedding cake tasting session. With Erin and Carly. And we're gonna find the flavour!" Olivia spoke into her camera. She held Jeff's hand as they entered the cake store, being invited back into the kitchen.

Out on the table was a range of cakes with little cards in front, displaying their flavour. They'd tried the first one, all of them digging a fork into it and trying a scoop. They'd continued on trying different flavours and made their decision. Jeff liked the strawberry and vanilla cake, as did Olivia. And they decided on that.

Next was the style. Jeff wanted a massive wedding cake, so they'd decided on four tiers. And their wedding cake was complete! As Jeff went through the details on the purchase and the booking, Erin and Carly were squealing over their excitement for both weddings. Jeff grabbed Olivia's hand and smiled. "It's all booked for May 27th. Let's go."

"Natalie, how're things?" Olivia asked, holding her phone to her ear. She was doing laundry as Natalie had called her. Jeff was out on a hike with Nerf and Roo, not doing so much of a long hike as Roo was only a baby.

"Good, I called the catering company and went through all the food options. And also, I booked the stylist for the bride and bridesmaids." Natalie explained. "I'll send you their details for payment, then I'm contacting the officiant to plan the ceremony."

"You are a blessing, Nat. You don't have to do all of this." Olivia stated, shutting the washer and leaving the laundry room.

"Oh but I want to. You're my best friend and I know you'd do the same for me." She replied. "Also I've always wanted to plan a wedding."

She had gotten the details from Natalie and paid them, thanks to David's large $50k cheque. Her friends were a gift from God. She had put her finished laundry away and began to make some food, the door opening to reveal a sweaty Jeff and the two dogs. Be took their leads off and put them on the island, bringing Olivia into a hug.

"Jeff, I love you but you're all sweaty. I'll hug you after your shower." She spoke, kissing him as he chuckled and walked upstairs.

She fed the dogs and gave them water, receiving a text from Natalie.

natty🖤: spoke to the officiant, he's planning the ceremony and will send you a copy of the reading.

liv🥺: god bless your soul, my beautiful best friend

natty🖤: at your service

Kiss after kiss, Jeff wouldn't stop kissing his fiancé. He was happy and excited and in love and he couldn't keep it in. He planted kisses all over her face, as she handed him his dinner. They both ate at the island, talking about their uneventful days.

"Oh, Natalie sorted out the food options with the catering company, she booked the stylist, and got in touch with the officiant to plan the ceremony." Olivia explained.

"Oh wow, that's amazing!" Jeff exclaimed. "Where would we be without her?"
