Chapter six
She ran around the house finding things that could go well with the wedding. I hadn't quite chosen the colors or designs for it yet, but she went around anyway. She forced me to stay up in my room in my dress while she continually brought decorations up to see if they went well with my dress. I must have fallen asleep because the next morning I woke up with my dress hanging in the closet with the white protective cover over it. I sat in my bed thinking of what the plans are going to be, what needs to be done, how much thought I want put into it, and how the budget is going to end up costing me. It gave me a head ache just thinking about it. I also had to fill out applications for different colleges. Not to mention the date of our wedding, the venue, the food... Ok I just need to take a day off. It's only been maybe a week since I got engaged. And I'm already stressed out. So I called Mika. I told her about how I was stressed and that I needed a day off from the wedding plans. Her idea was to go to the mall. Just her and me. We could bring a note pad and take down notes. Taking one step at a time for the wedding plans. Today would be an idea day. When we hung up, I made a quick call to tell Chris that I wouldn't be able to go jogging that day and that I was spending the day with Mika. I felt kind of bad, but he was also feeling stressed and he had already made plans to go out with his guy friends.
"This teal aquamarine color is very pretty, is this what you imagined for your wedding day?" Mika asked as she held up a table cloth with similar swirly designs like my dress. "What I imagined for my wedding day was to get married in the fall. To have some traditional fall colors and throw in some blues and greens. Just to give it a twist. The center pieces for the dinner party could be clear vases with engraved leaves or something similar to that. The table cloths could be all one color, but different tables would have different colors. Such as a rustic orange and maybe some blues and browns. I would want to get married outdoors preferably by a big hollow tree with leaves scattered everywhere. The arch could be branches woven together with leaves attached and maybe some blue and green ribbons tied together. Our wedding day pictures would be taken in that field. By trees, laying in piles of leaves, a few kisses here, us laughing together, us holding hands, my head resting on his shoulder looking at the sunset.... And maybe even some goody ones. But we need to get our engagement pictures taken in the next few weeks or so." I finished with a big breath. "There is probably more but that is how I imagined it." Mika had been taking down notes the whole time I was talking. I was just getting worked up over the sight of my wedding in my head. It's true about what my father always used to say, "Your imagination brings you to a whole different dimension."
When we returned home, I immediately called Chris. "I missed you today." he said to me in a loving voice. I just giggled, told him that we should go do something and I hung up. I went upstairs, showered down and pulled out some white skinny jeans, a scarlet T-shirt, a black and yellow scarf and some gray boots. I put some jell in my hair and scrunched it. Adding a few finishing touches, I put on a layer of mascara. Grabbing my purse, and taking one last look in the mirror, I smiled. Life was just perfect. I had the most amazing fiancé. I loved him. He loved me. Nothing could change the way I felt about him. There is just something about love that makes life so much better. You are just so happy all the time. All you think about is him. And the feeling of longing when you can't wait to be together forever. The wanting to have kids and expand your little family. When I was shopping for dresses, a thought came across my mind, "this is really happening isn't it? I'm going to get married." It just seems real once you have that one dress on. The look of that ring on my finger. I just giggle like a little girl. I smile all the time. At random times during the day. In the elevator at work. I looked back in the closet. My wedding dress was hanging there. It was mine. I will be walking down the eil in it. My arm linked with my father's. The sweet song birds filling the air. The sight of Chris standing there smiling. The biggest grin I have ever imagined on him. Life is perfect.....
