The Wedding (Hiatus)

NANCY BLOOM

It was a bright and sunny day in the fairly large town of Hillwood, the afternoon lunch rush was here and people were trouping in and out of various cafés to grab their share of the day's lunch while relaxing a bit from the day's work.

It was also a time when the bus terminal was filled with dozens of people who were waiting to take the bus back home after a long morning shift at their various places of work.

Some of the fliers posted on the wall of the bus terminal were carefully ruffled by the light breeze that blew in the air. The constant rustling caught the attention of many of the impatient people, who stood there waiting for their bus, and most days just as they were doing today they found themselves reading it to pass the time.

The fliers were mostly adverts for creams, makeups, the newest café in town and discounted prices of a much-loved product, below these numerous fliers was an unusual one, a newspaper even, which read,

"Daughter of richest man set to tie the knot."

It was the biggest news in the town as of this week as every single person seem to read it over and over again without getting tired, and then takes a look at the picture of the sandy blond girl who they all knew to be Nancy Bloom.

Due to the help of the media, every single local knew that Nancy Bloom was the precious daughter and heir to the Bloom's wealth. It was known how precious she was to her father Allman Bloom and how her wedding would be the talk of the nation because all dignitaries would be there.

Everyone had their own speculation on what the wedding would be like, some didn't care at all, while others were looking forward to attending the wedding.

Somewhere a little away from the bustling town stood the Bloom's mansion. A peaceful and serene atmosphere surrounded it as usual, in the large and elegant living room sat Nancy bloom who was busy going through a catalog of wedding dresses for her wedding.

For a rich girl whose wedding was a few weeks away, it was rather surprising that she was yet to choose her wedding dress, but she being the rich heiress that she was, was all the more reason for the delay. So many couture companies kept on sending proposals and catalogs of their wedding dress collections to her and promising to make a special design for her if she chooses to patronize them instead.

These companies obviously saw an opportunity to shine and were trying to grab it. Nancy, due to the many offers was having a hard time making a choice of which dress to wear.

She was seated in the living room which was her favorite part of their mansion with her three closest friends, Nicole, Mara, and Lucy, each of them going through the season's wedding dress catalogs sent to them by M&T coutures.

Each dress with the bridal train outfits were added to each of the catalogue photos and have not been released by this couture companies yet. They had promised to only release their new season dresses after Nancy had chose her dress, which was pretty nice.

"How about this one?" Mara said to Nancy turning her phone to her, and drawing the attention of the other women, "It's on the twenty-third page of M&T couture catalog."

They all turned to their phones again to search for the one she had shown them.

"Uhm, No!" Nicole said.

"It's nice!" Mara argued.

"Yeah. But it is cheesy. It's the one princess Tara wore at her wedding, I didn't like it on her and I don't think I would like it on Nancy." Nicole buttressed while staring at the picture of the dress.

"Who cares if you like it on her? If Nancy likes it that's all that matters." Mara shot back.

"No, it's not! This is the wedding of the century. Nancy's likes are of very little value. She's not wearing a dress someone else has worn or else it would be the headline of the week, 'Rich heiress wears Princess Tara's dress to her wedding,'. She has to wear a new one. A very unique one."
