Byun Baekhyun swung around in his chair as he looked out the tall glass windows of his seventh story office. He was pleased he had made the move. With the boom in his business he was making more money than ever and his new office space reflected his burgeoning career success.
He opened his diary and smiled when he saw his next appointment. His best friends, Minseok and Jongdae, were in at 11am for their first consultation and he couldn't wait to get started. "Yixing." He rang oustside to his secretary's desk. "Can you make sure coffee is hot and get out the good cookies? The shortbreads. And let them straight in when they get here."He leaned back and let his mind wander. When he thought of Jongdae, so loud and fun, his first thought was a soft coral. It was fun and flirty and loud without being overbearing. So a toned down version of his best friend. The colour that immediately came to mind when he thought of Minseok, so darkly beautiful and serene, was a luxurious navy. He'd never planned a wedding in those colours before but he suddenly got very excited and opened his big notebook and started writing down ideas.
Navy and coral. Perfect. Unusual and striking without being gaudy or overpowering. Baekhyun was shaken from his creative storm by the opening of a door. "Baek!" Jongdae was on him in an instant. "How have you been?" he squealed as he squeezed the breath out of his friend. "Great. How about you guys?" he untangled himself from Jongdae's oppressive affection to give a gentle hug to Minseok who was just smiling at his fiancee's energetic entrance. "Same as usual. Can't wait to start planning this wedding!" the glow on Minseok's face was ethereal. Baekhyun was so happy for them. They'd been together since University, meeting by accident in the campus café one day, Jongdae the first year becoming instantly smitten with the senior student and wearing him down with his incessant charm.
Baekhyun smiled at his secretary who came in unobtrusively with a pot of coffee and a plate of cookies. Jongdae immediately crunched down on a cookie spilling crumbs all over Baekhyun's beautiful white desk and Minsoek just rolled his eyes and swept them up with a tissue. Baekhyun showed them the colours, samples of fabrics, examples of flowers and decorations, crystal hangings, marquees and chairs and balloons. After an hour they had a basic plan worked out. Baekhyun knew they wouldn't want a church wedding and a marquee by the river would be perfect. The weather would just be turning and it would't be too warm for suits. At the end of the hour consultation they had the bare bones of a wedding planned out on paper.
"Want to go out for dinner tonight? My treat?" Minsoek asked as they headed to the door and Baekhyun shook his head. "No. I'm having dinner with Sehun. It's our last weekend before the wedding and he's going to go and stay with his friends for a few days before so, you know, it's like building the excitement." Baekhyun's eyes shone as he thought of his tall handsome fiancée. Sehun was younger than him, a brooding and moody musician yet to really catch his big break. The better half of a year had gone into planning his own wedding. He had picked everytingn perfectly down to the last detail. Charcoal grey suits with accents of white. A soft pink was the main theme with touches of every shade of grey from smoke to silver. Silver decorations, silver and pearl balloons, pink roses and white lillies. Everything was planned perfectly from the groomsmen's shoes to the strings of fairy lights that would be strung in the antique barn.
"Cant believe you wouldn't let us throw you a bachelor party!" Jongdae shriekded as they left. "You better be throwing me one and it better be wild!" Baekhyun giggled as MInsoek just rolled his eyes for the hundredth time. The man really had the patience of a saint, Baekhyun thought, as he imagined what it would be like to be married to Kim Jongdae. It was bad enough living with him at University. "Can we at least go to lunch?" Jongdae clung to Baekhyun's arm and he looked at his watch and nodded. "Yes. Yes we can."
The three men made their way out of the beautiful gleaming office building down the street in search of a delicious lunch. As they packed into a small café and ordered salads and sandwiches and pots of tea Baekhyun smiled to himself. His friends truly were couple goals. They might be absolute opposites but they complimented each other so well and while Jongdae had spent the better part of their appointment joking, laughing and talking way too loud the soft look in his eye when Minseok smiled at him gave away the softness inside.
Baekhyun picked at his meagre salad and thought of his wedding. He couldn't wait to marry Sehun. He had been beyond surprised when the younger man proposed. They had dated on and off for about a year before Baekhyun's business began to take off and he began to make noises about wanting to grow up and settle down. He thought Sehun would run a mile but to his surprise he turned up at dinner one night with a bouquet of carnations and a ring box and got down on one knee. Baekhyun said yes, of course, and after a year of engagement and another six months of planning the day was finally almost here.
He'd been so busy that time had flown by. The last six months were a blur of work and work and work. Who would have known that wedding planning would be such a huge business. But the recent legalisation of gay marriage had put Baekyun's business as the number one most sought after planner in the whole city. So while he had focused on building his business he had also made time to plan his own dream wedding and he was just a week away from the best day of his life.
